[Intro]

To be honest

[Verse 1]

I feel the UK scene is going backwards, not just rap, but fans behind the cameras

Directing support to any actor there for cash who's goal is winning BAFTAs

Once collected, purpose loses hunger, won't evolve so lower goes the standard

Many try, including I, to set it up, "He's too different," they say gathered

I'm hearing our country got bad vibes

Smothered in pride, I think we should get baptised

Same ones that saying they post it on TikTok

Then laugh at somebody that's trying to landminе

I meant blow up, their enеrgy slow up

Until you get views, everybody wanna show up

You know what? The stereotypes they throw us

The most they catch my age, they all wanna be bad nowadays

It's really breaking my heart, innocent, forced out, don't know where to stand nowadays

Lord, peer pressure, foothold, where do I stand nowadays?

They're listening to bad examples, that they follow, they don't follow your plan nowadays

[Hook]

So I ain't trying to join the parade

To be honest, honest, I ain't trying to join the parade

Join the pa-huh, huh

To be honest, honest, I ain't trying to join the parade

Join the pa-huh, huh

To be honest, honest, I ain't trying to join the parade

Join the pa-huh, huh

To be honest, honest, I ain't trying to

[Verse 2]

Slavery ended 160 years ago, now 2025, it's sad we still in bondage

If I'm being honest, was the colonisers, now it's our nature, doing all these honours

We ain't seeing fairly, Momma said it's scary, 2 hours on Insta, for the Bible, barely

Linking to depression, hurt a cycle weary, stuck in chasing so you earn but still ain't barely

In this day and age, to fly, they'd wanna tear me

Keep me on the media but I ain't Mary

LIke the Virgin, I'm seeing it certain

Invisible chains, we all change into burdens

Ain't giving it up to the Father or serving

But serving the ways of the world, ain't deserving

A remedy made for the ones who are hurting

Submit to the Lord and show out from the curtains

Nah

[Hook]

I ain't trying to join the parade

Join the pa-huh, huh

To be honest, honest, I ain't trying to join the parade

Join the pa-huh, huh

To be honest, honest, I ain't trying to join the parade

Join the pa-huh, huh

To be honest, honest, I ain't trying to

To be honest, honest, I ain't trying to join the parade

Join the pa-huh, huh

To be honest, honest, I ain't trying to join the parade

Join the pa-huh, huh

To be honest, honest, I ain't trying to join the parade

Join the pa-huh, huh

To be honest, honest

TBH

[Outro]

Maybe more difference, word of purpose in the scene

Giving souls the truth and not fake lifestyles to believe

The state of me making me feel I'm suffocated

Understatement, nothing's changing, 'bout time I start to-
