Roundabout
30 thousand pound for a degree, I'm an Overseas cheap slave qualified in Uk
Men Seeking jobs couldn't get laid, had to cut leeway to get me on belay
Hardwork pays off got my rent paid, got sponsor visa I had a gateway
To a stabilised life with a pay day, I can work on my dream on the sideway
Snapshot, celebrate my birthday, friends circle up taking MD then I
Spent a half year pace around the broadway, lost in the bouquet and white girl cliche
Heyday always ends at the crossway, friends girlfriends everybody drift away
Sweet memory echo with dismay, I left Edinburgh looking for a new day
London life gave me more than I wish for, but things went wrong not what I planed for
When the lonesome creep in creep in, sweet trap I wanna walk in walk in
Weaknesses overrule rationality, fall for the same cliche toxic foreplay
Once more, I fall in that pitfall, didn't do the job what I was paid for
Two weeks from on call to off board, contract termination visa offshore
Look around I see dust on my keyboard, trapped on the chessboard, dream on a whiteboard
Life shows me Emotionally Immature Mentally Premature, would snatch what I work for
Once more, my life in a downfall, ask myself, what did I dream for
Dream, was hard to talk about, out of work was all I think about
God bless my girl she didn't back out, working day and night finally we work it out
Family commitment work and hip-hop, everyday I'm juggling, sometimes struggling
But I'm grateful I get to do the juggling, tried to not act only on my feelings
What I had to do before what I want to do, I like to pay the rent when the rent is due
What I want to do pushing what I can do , put in the effort that was long overdue
Dream, awaits at the roundabout, give way to the reality I care about
I didn't look at her when I pass the roundabout, she's following me to where I dream about
