lyrics

Intro: Every time You get high

remain on your feet
cos the people below you

well they just want you to see 
(I’d like to sing an old melody that’s very dear to me)

“Read between the lines, see what i see”

VERSE ONE:
All I ever really want to do was change lives 
Grab that stage mic and handle my rage right 
But I can’t i’m a slave to the page like
Every word that I write is law, it's definite as a day light
Cuffed down and punched out, damn it's time to fight back, 
It's a rise of rebels, I hope the empire doesn’t strike back 
I’m 19, but I feel a lot older son 
my homes gone , I'm Liea, the last child of Alderaan
I know I've gotta find some kind of peace of mind,
with the apple of your eye i never lived a peachy life,
Cancer at 2, Broken neck at 14,
Arks since 12. El, 19, I bring that raw heat.
To make you bump your head so hard you’d snap your C-3, 
Blow like C4 but I’m bringing art forms on  CD’s,
I Came to do it different change opinions on what real is,
yeah they spit that dope shit, but do you really feel it?
Cos I write that deep shit to make you feel you been involved,
like your mother on her death bed trying to wean the chemo off.
She’s got no hair but she glamorous as always 
perfume is sweet , these the memories of raw pain. 
And I get it, you write singles to get the people moving,
but i do this to connect, yeah i lead the peoples movement.
We can take it were ever we want i swear that we can do it. 
‘Who am i?’ you ask, I’m just a kid who makes decent music. 




CHORUS
“When the beat bang” 
I stay on my feet. 
cos the people below you,
the only want you to see 
The Ugly Side
“read between the lines, see what i see” 
headphones on, and i’m kicking in my nikes. 




VERSE TWO
: The young hippy kid, lungs soaked in tar,

found my rhythm over drum tracks and old guitars.

So bizarre, bleeding like an open scar

but in a game full of animals all i know is Arks.

And they say the grass is greener when it’s on the other side,

I say thats bullshit, build your own design.

Climbing up the roses vine yeah to grow an open mind

play the game like Jumanji and go and roll the dice

But I hope you don’t roll a ‘9’, gotta roll tonight

make a move up on my chick i swear she cold as ice.

Bullshit the big dick giant was ever friendly,

Ella deadly as venom and yet he's barely even 20.

So i’m settling in to everything i’ve ever been.

My spirits in submission of these separate medicines.

See fates knocking on my door i gotta let her in,

cos she wants to talk to me about my genesis.

Cos I’m stuck in my past, i ain’t making the same mistakes

Over regretting decisions, I’m making em’ every day.

So from now i’’ call the shots and bend the game,

HIEN MYTEE’s the team and know that Eleji is the name



CHORUS
“When the beat bang” 
I stay on my feet. 
cos the people below you,
the only want you to see 
The Ugly Side
“read between the lines, see what i see” 
headphones on, and i’m kicking in my nikes.
