MC Blance - You Alone (feat. Anna Cooper & Misty-Jo)

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
There's not too much that I can really see
When everything I want is waiting right in front of me
There's not too much that I could say to you
It's hard to find the words I mean cause I can't fake the truth
Everybody says they know me but I know they don't
This place inside me is a canvas that I slowly show
My secrecy isn't weak to me though, I boldly flow
They say look out for the signs, I think they show me "go"
Everybody speaks the truth, alright Pinocchio
Say they'll change the game, I seriously hope they don't
Speak on places that they'll go, I know they mostly won't
Talk their talk, it's not a shock, they're not the Holy Ghost
They're not endowed by the clouds or the heavens
I break it down, and I'm proud that it's testing
To get the sound, but I've found that it's a lesson
That I'm here now, and I'm bound for ascension man, uh
You can shake it off to try and shrink the load
You can fake it till you know you're nothing more
You can wish it all just sits beyond the road
But it's you alone that has to face it all
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
I don't know when to stop
Every time I see an out it gets sincerely blocked
I don't know how to act
When I get moving, I'm into it, that can't be sapped
Yeah, this that energy you cannot tame
All ahead of me is mine to gain
All in front of me I'll fight the same, yeah
Find the spark that fucking lights the flame, uh
You can shake it off to try and shrink the load
You can fake it till you know you're nothing more
You can wish it all just sits beyond the road
But it's you alone that has to face it all
All
Your vision is fading, there's holes in your heart
The weight is beginning to tear you apart
You reach out but no-one is taking your hand
This fate is a given, it's without amend
Uh, thinking about my life and where I'm headed
I just can't let it get away, see my potential deadened
Just try follow my heart, not where my overthinking head is
With every reason to collapse, it's just a painful lesson
Man I just want a step forward without the reverse
My movement is irrelevant if it's bound with a curse
Progression may be excellent, but a sound isn't worth
All the effort that it takes to be out in the lurch
I'm an addict, rapping is my habit
What I can't get, I must have it
Argue with myself sometimes you'd think that I've gone bat-shit
When all my anxious tendencies are drowning out out my passions, like
"Just give me something, anything
I just wish we could see eye to eye on the sentiment"
Cause what I want and what I do cannot be separate
I need to get my head in check before I get ahead of it, yeah
You can shake it off to try and shrink the load
You can fake it till you know you're nothing more
You can wish it all just sits beyond the road
But it's you alone that has to face it all
You can shake it off to try and shrink the load
You can fake it till you know you're nothing more
You can wish it all just sits beyond the road
But it's you alone that has to face it all
Yeah it's you alone that has to face it all
Yeah it's you alone that has to face it all
It's you alone that has to face it all
Ooh-ooh-ooh
I don't do poetry
I can only string words together as long as you notice me
And those who know me have seen my tougher days
But I only say how I feel in front of hands held up in praise
A performance and I abhor it
But the music man I adore it
Like a conversation with a stranger
Talk all of my fears and dangers, I'm endlessly wanting more of it
In older days I had a ways to go
So for old time's sake behold
For the love that used to be here
And all of the ones who saw me a last time and said "see ya", ha
Just give me something, I'm pleading for this
Cause the love in the whole world's a reason to live
And the grudges you hold are a treasonous myth
And the idols you chose will recede and dismiss
And who you are is a process of change
Never static, adapting and detaching away
And all the times that my actions were erratic or vain
The embarrassments that I cannot magic away
But new perspectives stay lurking in my mistakes
And every way that I'm worth it is hard to gauge
Cause I'm freer than I've ever been
But I just need you to give me something, anything
Anything
