You know we make examples
We're history's booth
This is a future cut

Yeah
I gotta good heart
I born on beat that's a good start
I had a feeling I'll push pass
So now I feel like I'm the reason I should last
I move like my ish don't stink
Gotta 'em all in a trance no hypnosis
This is all from the heart impro no script (yeah)
I'm just about writing it down
So now I don't sleep man I miss those nights
Take planes like trains I don't miss no flights
I'm the type of guy that would have no life
Just so I could shine like disco lights
And I sound sad but I'm happy
And the only plans to stay scatty
Chyeah, unorthodox I make the bar so I call the shots

We don't follow no crowd
They follow us
Don't follow no sound
It follows us
Don't sit in hell
Look down that wishing well
Unorthodox we call our own shots

Yeah
I gotta good vibe
I ain't trying to be bait with my hook lines
I had a feeling could fly
Before I hopped on a plane or I knew sky
Yeah, I'm a good guy and if you heard otherwise its a true lie
I'm hype I don't do shy
I bark up every tree and I do bite
Yeah, I'm only playing
We all got freedom of speech
I'm only saying
I ain't got time for beef I'm on the way in
So the 8th day of the week's my only lay in
And I sound sad but I'm happy
And the only plans to stay scatty
Yeah, unorthodox I make the bar so I call the shots

We don't follow no crowd
They follow us
Don't follow no sound
It follows us
Don't sit in hell
Look down that wishing well
Unorthodox we call our own shots

No one can hold us down again
No one will touch our crown again
No one can hold us down again (no way)
No one will touch our crown again

We don't follow no crowd (no way)
They follow us
Don't follow no sound
It follows us
Don't sit in hell
Look down that wishing well
Unorthodox we call our own shots

We don't follow no crowd
They follow us
Don't follow no sound
It follows us
Don't sit in hell
Look down that wishing well
Unorthodox we call our own shots

No one can hold us down again
No one will touch our crown again




No one can hold us down again (no way)
Unorthodox we call our own shots

No one seems to understand how dope this song is! The entire thing is an Oxymoron! He has contradicting words in every bar: "That sounds 'sad' but I'm 'happy', and the only 'plan' is to stay 'scatty'"Ā 

@KakarotOwns

Look at Wretch 32 now, he's turned into an absolute beast of a lyricist.

@YellowSynth

he has always been a lyricist

@KakarotOwns

Yellow Synth I know but my point is that he's one of the best now, he has got even better.

@circle2867

if what you're saying is true then obviously improvement doesn't bring popularity. I've heard nothing of him for about 6/7 years@@KakarotOwns

@KakarotOwns

@@circle2867 He's been on fire in the booth, how have you not heard that? That got pretty big.

@circle2867

yeah i just heard that. you're right it was pretty sick. avelino wasn't so bad either.@@KakarotOwns
