Layer Cake Lyrics & Tabs by Kano
Layer Cake
guitar chords lyrics
Your born you take shit
Get out in the world take more shit
Climb a little higher take less shit
Till one day youâÂÂre up in the rarefied atmosphere and you forgot what shit even looks like
Welcome to the layer cake son!
Check, check Check Check
I’m two albums deep a thousand shows in
Cause I fight for the right till the towel gets thrown in
We hustle down here, knuckles round here
Never stay pretty when your raised in the city
Itâs a place full of hatred where they wanna stick me
Cause Iâm making my status and they think too quickly
Iâm a victim to criticism menace to society
Cause I’m in a position where many do it via me
(huh), but there's always an obstacle just move left but the stress ainât optional
Iâm a victim to criticism menace to society
Cause I’m in a position where many do it via me
(huh), but there's always an obstacle just move left but the stress ainât optional
It’s all bless but nah you forget you gotta do better you can’t do your best
Crucial how you move cause you'll lose your breath in this music follow you to death
Do us part, now youâÂÂre married to the game, with no footsteps to follow. pave the way
Eh, thatâs the layer cake, play your position itâÂÂs too fucked let me explain how the biz is
Too real, you feel that youâÂÂre in control but you ainâÂÂt your stuck in the layer cake
The Layer Cake.
The Layer Cake.
The Layer Cake.
The Layer Cake (Welcome to the layer cake son.)
They layer cakes like being stuck in the system
Just for existence to be someone coming up as an infant
We seen it in Scarface, the road to the top the fucking hard way
But you know how the music is, gotta pass a few layers before you get rich
It’s a hustle gotta struggle just so you can shit gold
And you still owe, thatâÂÂs why they get rich and you get broke
But Iâm still writing
ItâÂÂs never gonna stop till you fucking with a cherry on the top
But Iâm still trying
The road think Iâve blown but I ainât nowhere near the icing
Obviously the radio fears my writing
But my ideas are frightening
So IâÂÂm still stuck in the layer cake, taking my chances
They trying to put me in another box. grime artist
And IâÂÂm trying to see the cream in the middle
Thatâs the money I ainât just speaking in riddles
I ainât trying to be part time, dealing a little
Or trying to see hard times stealing at lidlâs
But
Things just ainât what they seem, Iâm on the grind like banner said
From pirates to mainstream, and still not that ahead
Cause Iâm in the industry man, in England
Where I’ll never sell more than an indie band
You donât even wanna know the ins and outs
But let me tell you how it goes down
Hook
Layers and Layers of bullshit, the games fucked up
But you gotta play it you can’t pause it
And you can’t forfeit as a up and coming emcee
Trying to bust but your pockets empty
I work hard, never a night off
Watch fabulous life of and see all things that I want
But I don’t think Uk's ready
My tunes on heavy rotation cause it’s got mike on
Ever since so solid dropped, 21 seconds, the charts ainât really had anyone reppinâ
So can you get to the top of the top
Pow
11 still no top of the pops, how
Said I’ll probably get nominated
No disrespect to Lemar but I think I should have gone to take it
But fuck this, fuck the Brits, get pissed take the piss out of this Paris Hilton bitch
Cause I don’t belong here
I’ve come a long way it’s been a long year
And I’m so near but yet so far
Climbing the ladder till to the rarefied atmosphere...
Welcome to the layer cake. (itâs the layer cake) son
(ooh yeah, itâs the layer cake)
(ooh yeah, itâs the layer cake.)
