Midnight Oil Lyrics

Think I'm getting closer to a breakthrough

Definitely closer to my grave too

Giving all I've got until deficiency

Keeping on my tens off the energy

Nothing worth the grind is on your timing are you

Everybody's got a place so don't go chasing

I've got patience and a pension for the drive

I'm a keep on singing and rapping until I'm

Until I'm dead, been a mess

In my head it's more than just stress, see

Feeling heavy, might just sleep on the floor

Count my blessings, stay imagining more

This my life that I've been risking to avoid being poor

In the studio I'm free so I turn one source

It's a force no doubt about it when it rains then it pours

But nothing's easy when you're flowing you'll be pressing on sores

Down in the boot we lived in chaos all the time

We see profits where most others see a price

Most the time we burn the midnight oil, but I'll

Take the risk my people thrive in the storm

Think I'm getting closer to a breakthrough

Definitely closer to my grave too

Giving all I've got until deficiency

Keep on my tens off the energy

Nothing worth the grind is on your timing are you

Everybody's got a place so don't go chasing

I've got patience and a pension for the drive

I'm a keep on singing and rapping until I'm

Live and grow my pay check blows up

Just show up show out and sure enough

I tap in still dark in the morning

God said learn, won't trap fishes for him

First I wasn't lucky y'all would laugh at me

Now I'm earning money y'all are mad at me

I'm the Mr. Potter to my fantasy

Got the whole Fam covered like a canopy

Y'all just go to church to throw the shade

I ain't playing you I play the game

Winning takes your time it's worth the wait

I'm a make them pay for what I say

Watch me do it
