Cause I’m a travelling Emman,
Where i lCay my hats my home
Don’t kDnow where i am going
But Imma gAmet there on my own..
A travelling Emman,
Where i Clay my hats my home
Don’t kDnow where i am going
But Imma’ gAmet there on my own
[VERSE]
(0.35 - 1.15)
Its just another Emvenue
another live show, a different city with places to go
Imma keep on doing this, til the Cday that I die
In this Emlife, that doesn't slow down
EmWe all get lost just waiting to be found
Imma keep my head held, high to the sky
Feel the Empressure to succeed,
I wasn't going anywhere til music found me
Never gonna turn green, with Cenvy and greed
I'm an Emold man, the rules are there to be written
EmSometimes they push me down sometimes I feel like quitting,
NC
but I'm never gonna give this up, cause this is my life
[CHORUS]
(1.16 - 1.35)
Cause I’m a travelling Emman,
Where i lCay my hats my home
Don’t kDnow where i am going
But Imma Amget there on my own..
A travelling Emman,
Where i Clay my hats my home
Don’t kDnow where i am going
But Imma Amget there on my own..
[VERSE]
(1.36 - 2.15)
Well we've been chewed up and Emspit out
EmThey say we’re doing something new now
EmEverybody wants to hear this travelling bands tunes out
From day one we were chasing the stars
We didn't Cwanna be another band lazing in bars
We’re gazing at Emcharts, hoping one day to be a part of it
EmMade a ton of progress we've only started yeah
We'd mad melodies, jamming on chairs
Hasn't been Csince last March that we paid for some beers
Forward Emmoving failures, ah sure were not choosing
EmFind us on the road at live shows or lay boozing
Straight cruising were ready to rock
giving it Call on the stage until we're ready to drop
n these Emlabels said we were just too different
EmDublin hip hop would never work there's something missing n
the accent is too deep its too strong, but now most of them are singing along
[CHORUS]
(2.15 - 2.35)
Cause I’m a travelling Emman,
