Difference (feat. Liam Bailey & Scorzayzee)

I've been standing on road

Standing on my own two feet trying to not let go

See

I've been looking for redemption

From a past spent searching for lost role models and acceptance

Living through deference

Tryna find praise and respect in the voices of those less effective

Look

It took words from a source unexpected

To reignite what had never left but was undetected

That's true knowledge I possess that my inner strength's

Kept in the sentence

And not in the depths of a blank cheque

Or in the finesse of investments

I could care less

See

So long as there is breath in my chest

I'll be keeping this test up relentless

Yeah

So now I understand what my quest is

I'm a conduit for this message

I am a vessel

And I've been studying the essence

Different day but the same question

So how can I make a difference?

When these odds stacked high up

And I am neck deep questioning my existence

And these bills on a rise 'til

I'm laying up at nights with my eyes wide

Or gunning through the city on a vibe

Tryna outrun the visions in my mind

Tryna outrun a system

That was built like a cage

Built to entrap then enslave

So I'm looking past monetary gain

Tryna bring back promise to my name

Using faith and persistence

Until I view it from a distance

Knowing my escape never found in a bottle or a wage

But in fact found in the homage paid

In the shape of a question

How can I be of assistance?

Time to wake up and smell the dahlias

No alien to failure

But imagine having all your achievements under a alias

It took me years to have crystal clear clarity

My point of singularity was to fill the void gradually

The black hole in my soul swallowed my gravity

I guess I'm in a super position, pick a reality

I figure skate in a figure eight round the galaxy

To understand the meaning of life and of mortality

If I'm speaking in riddles, then meet me in the middle

I can give it you in capital letters or little scribbles

I got more to give right now than I've got to gain

It's sad that happiness was a chemical in my brain

Every now and then I grab the pen

And flush the mud out

Feeling like the only sane man inside the nut house

Quietly watching like a sub sat in the dugout

But sometimes it's best for the lions

To let the cubs out

I got love for Capps, and Capps got love for the hats

So, here's to another chapter of raps

Every few years comets collide

That's trigonometry

Geometry and maths, astrology on the track

Astrology on the song

My science is dropping knowledge

Apologies if I'm wrong

Can't holler me when I'm gone

Tomorrow's not promised

So, holler me when I'm here

I'll follow when I'm there

Just give me a one ring and I'll text back

I'm dealing with a couple successes and setbacks

Respect that

I was trying to give as good as I got

But, to be honest I should have been

Working on my focus and my perception

And I've been studying the essence

Different day but the same question

So how can I make a difference?

When these odds stacked high up

And I am neck deep questioning my existence

And these bills on a rise 'til

I'm laying up at nights with my eyes wide

Or gunning through the city on a vibe

Tryna outrun the visions in my mind

Tryna outrun a system

That was built like a cage

Built to entrap then enslave

So I'm looking past monetary gain

Tryna bring back promise to my name

Using faith and persistence

Until I view it from a distance

Knowing my escape never found in a bottle or a wage

But in fact found in the homage paid

In the shape of a question

How can I make a difference?

How can I rock the roll?

How can I keep my soul strong?

Cos I'm not gonna get me down, no

Cos it won't ever get me down!

And I will not atone for my soul!

Gonna make a difference
