Nick Rose - TRAINSPOTTING Lyrics

Trainspotting, I get high, the pain stopping
I go by too many names, it's the same nonsense
Me and bros were burning gas way before the license
They went and left a lil' prodigy with his own devices

I had to paint this picture, I had to find an escape
This liquor spilling on the floor, just let me finish this take
And I've been spinning gold from straw, my first words were some pearls
My momma couldn't remember but I prolly said
F*ck the world, maybe a couple of haikus
Despite all the hype and exaggeration, it's quite true
I taught myself to read at 4, the 'rents almost lost hope
They dropped me in a class full of peasants, so how do I cope
I started drawing funny faces, they only took me for jokes
So then I took that attention and made my presence a show
Now I step outside my house and the sun can't handle my glow
Gotta protect my neck, smoking blunts on the open road
Keep my windows rolled

Trainspotting, lighting spliffs, I'm flame dropping
Almost a decade in the making, kept the same promise
I fell inside a rabbit hole and came out on top of clouds
I'm watching cable news at 7, Devil making his rounds

I feel a shift in the paradigm, my upside falling down
I make vibrations for generations, they can't touch my sound
They pass some legislation, otherwise inside the matrix
I've been here almost 20 years and I've seen nothing change
My uncle's growing kush inside his house, I might have to sample
I bend to the rules to my benefit, bitch I'll never cancelled
Even if you wish you could, my sins could not light a candle
To every administration that lied to you and your parents
Carrie Washington scandals for every rich person living
And I just speak on what it is, I do not ask for permission
So quit your moaning and bitching, it's 9 o'clock in the morning
Get out of bed and get rich before we all in a ditch

Trainspotting, making space for vain topics
If I gotta play the role, I'm taking Dwayne Johnson
Don't gotta say much but I execute and stay spotless
Wait, let me take a breath before they make their comments
Chilling in nuclear winter, come get your mind blown
These kids producing blockbusters off their iPhones
Where has the time gone, say hello to your bygones
I rest my case for whatever legacy shines on
And if you weren't satisfied, I hope you find God
