It's been a long time coming
But I'm coming down swinging (swinging)
Just listen to the noise I'm bringing (bringing)
If you feel alive, now sing it
O-o-o-oh
It's been a long time coming
You won't break me now
I've been on the ropes, never tell me now
I'm singing, singing
Listen to the noise I'm bringing, bringing
'cos I'm coming down swinging
But it wasn't by choice
Understood early, I was born to make noise
Coming and going
All the rehoming, draining all emotion
Tryna conjure something miraculous that'll keep us going
As I'm growing, noone know it all
We're doing, wait a minute, take a second, pause
The love this lovely lady has for me was unconditional
Felt like any opposition, bring it on, we'll kill it all
Buy five different houses
Where was home?
Too naive to realise she was facing this alone
Give a couple years and we're migrated to America
Left family, left school, this new life it felt better
But I'm ten now, I'm full of intelligence
Well I reckoned it
Contemplating who the fuck just marries for the hell of it
One that's tryna build a life, build a family, build a home
For their own
One that's tryna care for me until I've grown
It's been a long time coming
But I'm coming down swinging (swinging)
Just listen to the noise I'm bringing (bringing)
If you feel alive, now sing it
O-o-o-oh
It's been a long time coming
You won't break me now
I've been on the ropes, never tell me now
I'm singing, singing
Listen to the noise I'm bringing, bringing
'cos I'm coming down swinging
It's my time now
I can feel it rising up within
Beginning recognition of my individual talent with this ten I have
Academically, I was never bad
I took Law for a year and you can check the A's I had
It's not me, fuck that, dropped out, I'm not a barister
Whoever's doubting my abilities, then I'll embarrass ya
Enrolled myself in music college cos' I wanna learn the trade
And prove my only job, the industry, they need to know my name
By now, I can really feel the fire in me
All the jobs I've ever had, they kept on firing me
'cos my heart was never in it, had to take a minute, wondering
What it is I'm doing
What direction am I going in?
I've got it now
Well I thought I did, apparently
I'll go on a talent show
Why?
'Cos I'm talented
'cos now that I've got the best remedy have people telling me that I'm in NME
It's been a long time coming
But I'm coming down swinging
Swinging
Just listen to the noise I'm bringing
Bringing
If you feel alive, now sing it
O-o-o-oh
It's been a long time coming
You won't break me now
I've been on the ropes, never tell me now
I'm singing, singing
Listen to the noise I'm bringing, bringing
'cos I'm coming down swinging
'cos I've been dreaming about this my whole life
And when the moment arrives I'm gonna grab it and I won't let it go
And if you need me, I'll be out on the road
Now I'm singing
Now I'm singing
It's been a long time coming
But I'm coming down swinging (swinging)
Just listen to the noise I'm bringing (bringing)
If you feel alive, now sing it
O-o-o-oh
It's been a long time coming
You won't break me now
I've been on the ropes, never tell me now
I'm singing, singing
Listen to the noise I'm bringing, bringing
It's been a long time coming
But I'm coming down swinging (swinging)
Just listen to the noise I'm bringing (bringing)
If you feel alive, now sing it
O-o-o-oh
It's been a long time coming
You won't break me now
I've been on the ropes, never tell me now
I'm singing, singing
Listen to the noise I'm bringing, bringing
'cos I'm coming down swinging
'cos I'm coming
O-o-o-oh
