Cynikal feat. Cynthia Erivo won t let you down

Select language to translate this lyric

Age four, musical mastermind born, given a keyboard
I guess pops wanted me to be the seed
That tilted the see-saw and achieve more
And uncover the untrodden path people would bleed for
That I would die for
...Cause my passion is theirs, times four
So I don't mind watered down rhymes, I understand
It takes one hell of a man to never deviate from what he's planned
That's why I stand there with my chest out
Even with my best pals
Only on my own, in my own home will I rest out
That's why I'm stressed out
More often than not
...Cause a great mind never stops
...Cause it takes time for the dots to meet
And off the beat, off the record
Yo this is not for me
This is for my fam and for anyone who's supported me
Way before the autumn leaves faded to hazel brown from green
Way before the notion, of emotion, in a human being
Way before I even knew this was a possibility
So I surrender me, and I promise to you I will succeed.
Listen to me now, make sure you hear
Open up your eyes and make sure you see
That I'm not gonna let you down.
Let you down. Let you down. Let you down.
Said I'm not gonna let you down.
Let you down. Let You down. Let you down.
Said I'm not gonna let you down.
I promised mum that I'd bring the paper in
Trying to show my gratittude for the hours that she's been labouring
And even though there's been a lot of strain on our relationship
I'm trying to make of it what I can, ...cause I know the pain she's in
But she has raised a prince
Heir to the throne
The power of an entire nation runs bare through my bones
So surrender is not an option
...Cause I'm here for the long road
In search of a destination I can embrace as my own
You can see from how I speak that I've grown
Risen in stature, to the man that right here speaks with his pros and cons
Baring for the masses
...Til they care about my actions
So when I turn into those ashes, I can burn with a satisfaction
I'ma earn the title classic
With the shift I'm putting in
All of my grit and determination has left me teetering on the brink
Of doing something with my sound
I'm ready to make you proud
You best believe it when I say
That I'm not gonna let you down.
Listen to me now, make sure you hear
Open up your eyes and make sure you see
That I'm not gonna let you down.
Let you down. Let you down. Let you down.
Said I'm not gonna let you down.
Let you down. Let You down. Let you down.
Said I'm not gonna let you down.
