Stick Around (You'll See What I Mean)

by Wilko Wilkes

lyrics

Wilko Wilkes
Stick around, you’ll see what I mean
Knock knock, it’s me again I’m back,
I had to get back in it and release myself with rap so it’s,
Wilko with another flow, well I’ve been building all my lyrics up so I can do a show,
I’ve been writing these rhymes, for 31 years
But keeping it inside not able to face up to my fears,
I’ve gotta pack it all in tight because I’m in arrears
So now I’ve got my coat off and I’m moving up through the gears
Time flies by in the blink of an eye,
You’ll never know if you can do it if you never try
I’ve wasted too many chances to let this one pass me by,
I’ve been backing them up and packing them up and stacking them all up high
As a mountain top, I’m never gonna stop,
I’m pure hip-hopping never stopping body-popping beat dropping,
Thinking about my lyrics unlike most of the guys that are chart-topping
Knowing that I’ll never know why…
You want a slow and steady singer well I’m not one
My rap is quicker than a rapid fire shotgun
I keep it cooler than a freezing vat of liquid nitrogen with hypothermia even when I’m in the hot sun
I know you wanna find my weakness well I’ve got none
Just when you think I’m finished you realise I’m not done
I spent a lifetime being told I couldn’t make it cos my attitude was bad when my mentality was spot on
Now I’m staking my claim I’m at the top of my game
Imaginary voices didn’t make me insane
And so Instead of dodging punishment I’m taking the blame
And if I’m getting into trouble then I’m facing the shame
It’s Wilko Wilkes, remember the name,
I’m making an impression in the back of your brain,
I’m looking at you speaking from the heart when I’m saying --
I know that me and every one of you we’re one and the same because
Time flies by and we’ll never know why
If you need me you know where I’ll be
I’ll be at the mountaintop cos I’m never gonna stop
Stick around and you’ll see what I mean
Well it was killing me having to sit back and watch it from outside in the cold,
And dreaming of the feeling when you’re breaking the mould
I’ve gotta cap it off and wrap it so it doesn’t unfold
And keep the daylight shining through into the back of my soul,
Something’s coming to me pumping energy right through me
Giving me a thrill I can’t sit still or do what I’m told
If I remembered about my lessons and they’re answering all my questions then I’m building up my essence and I’m staying in control
Well do you defend
Or do you attack
Whichever way you go you know you’re never coming back
You’re going to new areas I know it feels precarious and even if it’s solid you’ll be finding the cracks
So you can do what you want
And do it for you don’t bother listening to people when they don’t have a clue,
You’ve gotta put some time aside for finding the truth
Or might never get the chance to do what you wanna to do because
Time flies by and we’ll never know why, if you need me you know where I’ll be
I’ll be at the mountaintop cos I’m never gonna stop stick around and you’ll see what I meeean,
Yeeahh, wooaah, stick around and you’ll see what I meeeean
Yeaehyeaahyeah, wooahhooahhhooaah, stick around and you’ll see what I mean…
So when you hear my rap again you’re gonna pump
And spread it thicker than the butter on a crumpet
And then I’ll leave you with a little bit of trumpet
