[Verse 1: RealisticLee]
Hope it's alright, I only wrote it last week
There's no point dwelling on the past see
Telling myself just do what makes me happy
Nothing wrong with being a bit whacky
Haven't performed in 4 years so might be rusty
Getting a chance again so call myself lucky
At times I've suffered from writer's block
But now I'm on point like a sniper's shot
Scope it out, got triggered by what these liars all
Think it's okay to say violence and crime is cool and all reminders gone
Finally starting to clock global warming but the timer's off
Time is ticking away, and most people arе like ''Climate change, oh yеah, I forgot''
[Chorus: RealisticLee]
It's not about the money that I'm spending
It's about the message that I'm sending
It's all about beginnings and endings
And the people lending an ear to these messages that I'm blending
It's not about the money that I'm spending
It's about the message that I'm sending
It's all about beginnings and endings
And the people lending an ear to these messages that I'm blending
[Verse 2: RealisticLee]
Some people had beef, never found out why
Like a technician working at a music stage I'm a sound guy
Gotta bring back the raps again it's about time
Hadn't rapped live in a long time, now I'm
Enjoying it again, when I pick up this pencil
Not even Superman could see through this lead it's
Punchlines in the lunch lines, fun times
At times you've gotta use humour to get through to people
Everyone thinks differently, I get it but everyone is equal
Tryna thread issues through the eye of a needle
Sometimes I've gotta talk about important stuff
Climate change, how's the world holdin' up
Politicians tryna deal with this is showin' us
They're hopeless 'cause it's like the Man of Steel
Tryna save the world and he doesn't know what he's doing
That would be Superman without a clue
Clark kent nothing
Shaggy without a scooby he's feeling blue
Hey what's new, where are you
Going with that, sometimes there can be a need to argue
[Chorus: RealisticLee]
It's not about the money that I'm spending
It's about the message that I'm sending
It's all about beginnings and endings
And the people lending an ear to these messages that I'm blending
It's not about the money that I'm spending
It's about the message that I'm sending
It's all about beginnings and endings
And the people lending an ear to these messages that I'm blending
[Verse 3: RealisticLee]
Coming up with ideas, lay it down, write it, record it
I've gotta practice before that performance
I rap I produce beats, I made this one, I'm on it
Pay homage to the greats, study it like college
Not supposed to be boring, not supposed to be yawning
Don't have a ghost writer but my spirit is all in
Calling out nonsense. gotta deliver a message
Serious or funny doesn't matter as long as I send it
Whether phonecall or texted, only after the credit and merit
Doesn't matter if I never make dough like Homer Simpson
See more elementary lines than a school principal
Project my voice. I'm a student of the game and school is still in
Session, lessons, this isn't ending it's only beginning
Recently I've not been impressed by what I've been witnessing
The difference is I'm still giving it all I've got
And I don't wanna waste it, this is my shot
[Chorus: RealisticLee]
It's not about the money that I'm spending
It's about the message that I'm sending
It's all about beginnings and endings
And the people lending an ear to these messages that I'm blending
It's not about the money that I'm spending
It's about the message that I'm sending
It's all about beginnings and endings
And the people lending an ear to these messages that I'm blending
