Natural Progression

[Verse 1] Who'd have ever known it'd come to this trying to Predict your future sitch is simple as peace is a flick of a switch Hitter. No prizes for not guessing that there'll be some days Where I get most of my protein from this paper that I write on This same little Timmy was a sporty kid, and yeah the sun Worked its fryer on my pail skin funny thing frailty I kept attending practice when my dad was having episodes That left behind a family in tatters And the subsequent descent under the poverty line Still we had a roof above our heads and friends to grow and build with And who'd have known of who I'd be if I had different early cards But whose to ask what might've been I exercise my right to turn a Blind eye to the rear vision, at which point the third eye'll hopefully Kick in and then make a mark or something maybe We can all look forward to some added time to sleep in And do some home improvements on the weekend out in Eden Or, if it's okay, don't ask me any questions Just let the pen make a natural progression If it's okay don't ask me any questions Just let the pen make a natural progression [Verse 2] I'd have never even tried to guess from three to thirteen To eighteen what's now got me on full court press yes In retrospect the hints were there, timid as a billboard A batsman, keeper, graffiti writing creature Sort of wrote a bit, it's now embarrassing but there's love For those nursery rhyme raps in primary school Nug They were bugged out but as if we weren't I copped A tonne of verbal abuse but I'd say thankyou sir I never came to cause trouble, we even wrote a rap As peace offerings to Mr Beaumont when he had a baby That was at 11, at 15 you could've seen them early morning Petty crime schemes I've got a pin inside my foot to prove it You'd be stupid to assume that there were no regrets But it's not over yet, I wind my window down a bit Shifting gears from fourth to fifth Left the career back at the tollway Generation cynic Y2K without the rollplay [Chorus] {x3} Stranger things have happened, and it's not shock horror And if you were to buy the bio then I wouldn't bother It's just the way it is, call it my live review Yeah I remember all these things while I'm hyping you [Verse 3] I had a fella tell me once of all his ideologies You know the kind of scholarly filled chemical philosophies Significance of numbers and your stars and your bloodlines Scars from the sunshine tragedies and punchlines Premature deaths occur before the person's ready Said the fella before gently falling down and passing out Well there you go the emporer proudly put out all he had on show And here's a million bucks for guessing what tomorrow holds Bank vaults and catapaults a liberal dose of smelling salts To snap you back to Urth and yeah I've got present tense on lock Known to deviate a little I guess, solving the how'd I get here Riddle and yes, there's still a bit on my chest Was it the year I was completely depressed I swore I'd Never take for granted when the skin disease left. And still don't Still evokes potently as turning points tend to do And sometimes I reflect on this while I'm hyping you [Chorus] {x3] Stranger things have happened, and it's not shock horror And if you were to buy the bio then I wouldn't bother It's just the way it is, call it my live review Yeah I remember all these things while I'm hyping you
