  • Hypothesize a hero's rise and teach them all to then despise
    It is our way to make a king, romanticize how they begin
    Fetishize their struggling, while all the while they're suffering
    In every worming memory of what they truly are
    The rigmarole, the tortured soul, the constant spin, the merry-go
    Roundhouse-kick into the face, sheer loss of private space
    The moths, the snakes, the tiny waist-coat tail riders suck the grace
    And little color out my face, the cancer in a padlock case

    No one gets into my space
    No one gets into my space

    The market before anything
    The darkest days are yet to sing
    Like Winehouse, she was just a bairn
    They love her now but bled her then
    Reared me as a class clown
    Grass fed little cash cow
    I cashed out, headed hell bound
    Now they point and laugh

    And no one gets in to my space
    No one gets in to my space

    Am I up to this?
    Am I up to this?
    Am I up to this?
    No one gets in

    I'll sell my story when it's true, I'll paint a pretty pic of you
    I'll walk amongst the ones who walk and talk when I am born
    I'm in the embryonic state
    On borrowed time I clean my plate
    With a TV dinner I spectate
    The fucks all gesticulate
    The chip on shoulder pulsates, my hatred it mutates
    Posh cunt had me irate, we said, 'We're all the same'
    Are you wild? Do you have enemies?
    A start with no amenities?
    A mark that bleeds a legacy?
    A spark without tuition fee?
    A darkness that they envy?
    They frenzy to befriend me
    But I kna ye, you'll sell me
    You'll sell me, you'll kill me

    No one gets into my space
    And no one gets into my space

    Am I up to this?
    Am I up to this?
    Am I up to this?
    Am I up to this?
    Am I up to this?
    Am I up to this?
    No one gets in to my
