[00:00.000]Finish This Album - Speech Debelle
[00:20.435]My quiet observations on the bus city people lost trust
[00:24.832]Maudleys out patients are shouting with the pavements
[00:27.496]They looking rough can't get to grips so they end up looking worse than s**t
[00:31.848]Maybe if I can see who there talking too
[00:34.092]I might talk to them to so they can prove
[00:36.297]The spirit never lies but before
[00:37.867]I get to try the clouds open up and let god cry
[00:41.138]Why is this white lady nervous cause 3 black youths come on
[00:44.473]So she checking were her purse is
[00:46.182]Make me feel nervous like they ain't my country like they don't really want me
[00:51.071]But mummy always love me
[00:52.544]I never had a daddy it was me and my mummy
[00:55.107]Mummy was my daddy I can either cry or see it as funny
[00:58.880]How you can have a child and then just leave
[01:01.169]Now I'm walking around with my heart on my sleeve
[01:04.105]Cause I'm effected anytime anybody leave
[01:06.662]You can see my scars and hear my silent screams
[01:09.283]I been reading books to analyse my dreams and to me it seems
[01:13.011]The only chance we get to make sense of it is when
[01:15.957]We put our heads down a little bit
[01:17.796]That's why I'm spitting it cause each one teach one
[01:21.098]And you can take it how you want done
[01:23.443]Right now I got a lot of work to do
[01:24.988]I gotta smooth out my edges
[01:26.839]Eat more vedges
[01:28.204]Listen to my elders
[01:29.473]Vibe with my peers
[01:30.722]Confront my fears and
[01:31.849]Finish this album
[01:33.707]Right now I got a lot of work to do
[01:35.478]I gotta represent the youth
[01:37.148]Speak more truth
[01:38.303]Eat more fruit
[01:39.520]Get wise with my years
[01:40.779]Confront my fears and
[01:42.333]Finish this album
[01:43.844]But it seems I get side tracked it's like a mind trap
[01:46.865]I get a call real late 'bout we're the foods at
[01:49.375]Cause certain man a certain place got certain food to
[01:51.817]Taste so my nikes are laced
[01:53.669]And I was never really one to stay awake through
[01:56.171]A working day for them little bit pay yo
[01:59.066]This nine to five is just killing me slowly but quitting is
[02:02.034]For quitters so I wait until they fire me
[02:04.062]But now no one will hire me cause
[02:05.888]I got more lies in my CV than a pro's had STD's
[02:09.607]When will they see I was born to reign entrapment is my pain
[02:13.064]I need to feel alive again
[02:14.735]I need a man that compliments my stride ovastand
[02:17.413]I'm this way until I die
[02:19.572]He has ambitions of his own so ovastand
[02:21.838]I don't wanna be alone I just need a little time in my zone
[02:25.133]This one goes out to my shotters in the alleys
[02:27.493]We're all brothers and sisters were all family
[02:30.173]All my sisters trying to raise there babies
[02:32.849]All the youth man with court cases crazy
[02:35.203]It's like the smarter you are the bigger
[02:37.049]Your worries stupid people are lucky trust me
[02:40.224]This one goes out to my people with ambition
[02:42.916]I'm still learning I'm still trying but for now
[02:45.954]Right now I got a lot of work to do
[02:47.537]I gotta smooth out my edges
[02:49.435]Eat more veges
[02:50.767]Listen to my elders

[03:06.471]Honesty is courage and since I got the heart of a lion
[03:09.608]Then there's no sense in lying
[03:11.219]I portray my life over violins no matter what it brings
[03:15.053]Least I'm being real
[03:16.331]When I look at my future I fear failure I
[03:19.472]Fear the fact that you might not like me
[03:21.766]I know I'm skilled but just maybe slightly
[03:24.346]What if my light don't shine so brightly
[03:26.876]I'm scared of that I'm telling you the truth
[03:28.998]I'm scared of that
[03:29.934]What if the doctor said you couldn't have children
[03:32.402]What if the system they tried to topple what
[03:34.371]I'm billing better living for all my ghetto children
[03:37.335]And I don't mean were you live I mean your state of mind
[03:39.813]Cause ghettos not just a place ghetto is a vibe
[03:42.468]And I don't need no boastie words or complicated flows
[03:45.030]If I know what I gotta do then I flow
[03:47.666]But sometimes I get tired sometimes I lose faith
[03:50.487]I guess that's the reason that we got to church
[03:52.804]Cause when you at the bottom of the barrel it hurts need something
[03:55.817]To believe in and god works you think spiritual is just hocus pocus
[04:01.127]What you really saying is you have not noticed
[04:03.561]Inside us all is a silent protest you can acknowledge or ignore but me

[04:10.321]I gotta smooth out my edges
