MC Blance - No Idolz

(MC Blance told me)
(I feel you)
You'd cry if you ever met them
Stumble for words, apologise, let them know that you get them
You'd never think to upset them
Every detail recalled, you're appalled at those who resent them
Sat alone in your bedroom just posting one of their looks
Talking bout them all day, man you say you could write a book
Red carpet appearances and interviews got you shook
Till they go and say something fucked that's got the media spooked
So defend them when all the world has a problem with what they say
You remain fucking unconvinced that the rage is anything but glints
Of obsession and jealousy and a witch-hunt to catch them out
Misquotation or misdirection you're betting that it's about
Ring a bell? Is it Jay-Z, Em, Biggie, 2Pac or Nas?
Kenny, Jermaine, or Ye, where's your faith to the very last?
Is it T-Swift or Billie, you smile when they get stacks
Roger Waters, Harry Potter, diss them and you'll get mad
Fuck it, no idols
No idols
You say you're up there on your own
Touché, we don't know being known
But one day you'll go down all alone
And we'll know
(But again, truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror)
Then, I'd have cried if I ever met him
Let him know I've held him close since kicking rocks at 11
"All the words you said, man, they'd move me and leave me breathless
Memorising the verses at first and then just attempting
Drawing up a song just to capture the essence
Far from actually wrecking but wait, just give me a second
Cause that impetus, man, I took all that from your lessons
Verses that I found arresting sent me to master the pen" and
If saw him now I hope I'd see him as a human
Just like me and you, and man that to me's lateral movement
I just mean that's an improvement, but let's stop the flow biting
I'm inspired but individual, I don't take cold resignment
I don't take someone else's fucking answers as my own
I try and question all my heroes, cause you never know
I don't put my faith in billionaires, fuck Elon, fuck all that you hear
Don't look for solace in your politics and incremental fears
Don't look for hope in artists posturing
Performing activism, call them out when they're not following
Remember what they said about Kenny when he was silent in '20
Posted at protests but he didn't post on Twitter, so it's empty?
Will you still stan Rihanna now that there's abusers on Fenty?
Or making Carti your profile pic now he's violent and deadbeat?
Cause there's no single example of an infallible memory
Are you still holding up Nicki now that she's all in with Petty?
Are your heroes life-sized to you or are they all still massive?
I've had to topple those statues, I've had to bring 'em down crashing
Cause I used to bump "Criminal" back when Marshall still had it
But now my stomach just churns when Marshall calls me a f-, no idols
No idols
You say you're up there on your own
Touché, we don't know being known
But one day you'll go down all alone
And we'll know
(Shut the fuck up, do you live with him?)
(I will fucking die for Drake, get it shaking for Drake)
(Fuck is you talking bout?)
(What do you mean you'd die for Drake?)
(Fuck is you talking bout?)
(I would die for Drake)
(You would die for Drake?)
(I would die for Drake)
(Would you die for me?)
(No, but-)
How do you get to the top and then throw it away like a fucking mistake?
How are you relegated to the reckless hating as if that was your fate?
Get to positions to which I could never relate and then toss it away?
Hang with the people that want to destroy you, why do you dirty your name?
Guess you're just off of the deep end
All that ego, that's your weakness, yes men got you geeking
I don't want to hear that anymore, I don't wanna hear that weak shit
Everything I ever learned from you, make me wanna just delete it
Throw all your friends away, did you ever give a fuck?
Hoped they'd ignore it? Nah, I guess man you're out of luck
Man I don't blame them, see leaving now that's a must
Cause I call it dangerous, all the shit that you're shouting up
I'm done with this, God only knows it's enough of this
I'm just saying I just want us to live without looking up to shit
Without looking up to these people who make all their legacy ruined
Cause one day man they'll be a ghost, Ye used to be the GOAT
Now he just fucking hates you if you're Jewish, no idols
(And on the pedestal, these words appear:)
(My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings)
(Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!)
(Guys, I'm being told it's curfew, so that's the end of the show, thank you so much)
