Testo di 'Earl Grey' di Rizzle Kicks

So now it's Earl Grey
Now it's Early Grey and sugar
I want Earl Grey, sugar and milk
Tea, yes tea
It's a simple pleasure
It's a very simple pleasure
But it's a pleasure I need
(Check yeah, yo)

It was the first of many challenges
To try convince the masses that we're talented
In a world full of watermarked canvases
And radio's that don't play songs if there's a rap in it
And fame's instantaneously given
If your face is positioned where the mass of population is driven
People believe what the papers have written cause
Rarely does truth even many any difference (yeah)

We watch edited versions of other's lives
To deal with the issues that we have another time
Everything's an unpopularity contest
If you're not voted out it's you that they want less
You can end your career in one tweet
And child counsellors don't get enough sleep
Professional footballers earn more in one week
Than one of them earns in ten years at least
They're swept of their feet
they don't wanna know now
If they're listening or watching they just wanna zone out
Know how
We don't even know how to find our own mouth
When spoon fed a dose of being docile

Yeah, so now it's Earl Grey
Now it's Early Grey and sugar
Now it's Earl Grey, sugar and milk
Tea, it's just tea
It's a simple pleasure
It's a very simple pleasure
But it's a simple pleasure I need
(Check it)

Hoods up is a necessity
Cause when my hood's down you still think less of me
Yeah it's one vicious circle
I'd rather keep my hood up to hide from all this negative energy
It's no wonder our society is segregated
When old people act surprised that I am educated
Disgression should be thought more
Rules mean nothing people love it when you break'em
Cause people clap when you're bad
People clap when you're good
People cheer when they're told
People laugh when they should
People dream of a little more sleep
But go full throttle at the end of the week

So gimme that club beat with the same old topic
I need to sing along while I drive to the office,
Tell me to dance or 'bout the money that you make
So I can go to my desk and dream my life was the same
But being in the spotlight's a dark place
Cause normality's a drug that you can't take
People drive hard for a shot at the fast lane
It's only people from school that you can class mates

Yeah, so now it's Earl Grey
Now it's Early Grey and sugar
Now it's Earl Grey, sugar and milk
Yeah, just tea, tea (check it)
It's a simple pleasure
It's a very, very simple pleasure
But it's a simple pleasure I need (check it)

She's not smart but she's got a good heart
It's not about the winner
it's who took part (yeah)
Tell the person who came last then they said they should laugh, haha
(Haha, sorry, I got some more, leave it running, leave it running.)
(It's not about who took part)
Hold up put down down

You've got love by the bucket load
Don't turn that noun upside down
Don't frown (check it)
This train's like going out inside
I just managed to get in with my side out
It's really taking me somewhere
Except standing means you don't fit in

ADHD drugs are like the latest hd plugs
The ideas great but once you review the finer details you realize it's depressing
Having too much of something isn't pleasant
If I was born rich I'd kinda wish I was a peasant
Cause you learn a lot of lessons
If I was Jay Z and Beyonce
I'd send Blue Ivy into the ghetto 'till she was like 11
And then be like surprise you're a millionaire
Yeah... That is... That is not a rhyme, that's just talking

Yo, now listen
All I'm saying is yo
Now it's Earl Grey
Now it's Early Grey and sugar
So now it's Earl Grey, sugar and milk
It's just tea... It's only tea
It's a very simple pleasure

A very, very, very simple pleasure
But it's a very simple pleasure I need
And that's me (simple pleasure I need)
(I need this in my life)
(I need it ohh-woah-woah-ohh)
(Keep it normal)
