Verse:

There's a lot of life lessons that I've learnt through these blessings

From the people I meet and greet I've answered some of the questions

Lifting a weight off my back, but now there's no going back

Cos once the door has been opened, you need a plan of attack

I see the world as a blank canvas, and I'm gonna spit ink

Before the moment has passed, cos all it takes is a quick blink

So don't even think about it, take a shot on your instincts

Cos nobody ever went anywhere new just by following somebody's footprints

I'm searching for that fix that gives me my drive

Wide eyes open making me feel alive

It's like the sun is beaming down, piercing the sky

Just for me, I'll chase that feeling till the moment I die

And if my body of work hasn't left me satisfied

Then I'll just have to defy until the Reaper arrives

Some people spend their whole lives questioning why

While the moments that should matter are passing them by

They're so close you can taste it, you'd better face it

Cos one day you'll wake up and realise it's wasted

Because your life is yours to live, not mine

Anybody saying different is just feeding you lies

Cos that's one thing you can't get back from this life

Make the most of your time, live on the edge of a knife

So write a song, make a baby or bust a new groove

Go do it if it's something that you wanted to do

Chorus:

I'm just another guy, I'm just like you

So you shouldn't be surprised by the things that I do

We've all got dreams Sir, yes that's true

That's why we've gotta keep pushing till we make it through

I'm just another guy, I'm just like you

So you shouldn't be surprised by the things that I do

We've all got dreams Miss, yes that's true

That's why we've gotta keep pushing till we make it through

Verse:

At the moment of writing this I'm feeling pretty good

Confidence on a high, and I feel like I could

Bust out a rhyme anywhere, any place

And guess just what you're thinking by the look on your face

You see I used to be lost, hell we all were once

But I'm finding my path cos I've got that perseverance

And I've accepted the fact that it's gonna take time

Every good thing does, it's why I'm standing in line

It just felt like a crime, man, but this was a dream

That I never thought I'd chase when I was only fifteen

I'd look up at those names from across the pond

And wonder how could I ever make a hip-hop song

I was a ghost in high school, just floated right through

I'm the kid that remembered everybody but nobody knew

But hey, the past, that's a petty thing to dwell on

Cos as for now, the present, it hasn't ever felt wrong

I've taken on board all of your criticism

I used to stew on it but now I'm beginning to see this isn't

Just another hobby that you can brush under the rug

I'm not a BB gun gangster, I'm not a plastic thug

I'm a real fucking person and there's 7 billion others

Sons and daughters, brothers, sisters, fathers and mothers

And each one has got their own story to tell

Before they lay their heads down for their final farewell

Chorus:

I'm just another guy, I'm just like you

So you shouldn't be surprised by the things that I do

We've all got dreams Sir, yes that's true

That's why we've gotta keep pushing till we make it through

I'm just another guy, I'm just like you

So you shouldn't be surprised by the things that I do

We've all got dreams Miss, yes that's true

That's why we've gotta keep pushing till we make it through
