Текст песни Heard It All - Illy

Seems like we grew up in a world
Where marketing's the reason you sell
So everybody's got a story
Or a genius to tell
These days seems everyone's repeating themselves
I'd change it but in truth it can't really be helped
Because what you about to do
Has been done one hundred times
Before you had thunk it
From Melbourne to London
Producers made beats before you could spell drumkits
Really how unique can you be I mean c'mon kid?
From the days of record stores
To the days of online message boards
Its all been said before
For ages I'd have sought inspiration
To create the same place where now you draw yours from
But your aim's to paint an image
But I know you ain't breaking limits
With the same (same) but different
It's like South Park when the Simpsons did it
I try to be one of a kind with my lyrics, but...

Please forgive me if it all sounds so familiar
I'm sure that you've heard this all before
I'm only one voice in a world of billions
And no idea's original no more
Please forgive me if it all sounds so familiar
I'm sure that you've heard this all before
I'm only one voice in a world of billions

And no idea's original no more

Right, I'm feeling like Jay
What more can I say
Only two albums deep
Like a quarter of the way
To the finish line
Some claim kick back give it time
Other's like hustle harder or it'll slip by
So here it is
Conscious to the fact that the rhymes that I spat
In past times just might overlap
If they do, dig deep and cope with that
Repetition is the father of learning
You're dead if you don't adapt
And I built it I'mma about it so I'mma still rep proudly
Stick to my guns like the building's surounded
And bring the house down till they're kicking me out of it
Still have the freshest shit out on each album
Cause it's true no idea's original right
But a different perspective can give a new light

So I pull the pen out, now I'm giving you mine
It's for you to press play sit back in the saab

Please forgive me if it all sounds so familiar
I'm sure that you've heard this all before
I'm only one voice in a world of billions
And no idea's original no more
Please forgive me if it all sounds so familiar

I'm sure that you've heard this all before
I'm only one voice in a world of billions

And no idea's original no more

I know you've heard this before
(One, two, three, four, four, three, two, one)

One mic
Two mic
Three mic
Four, check it
Fine line between fine mic and broken records
Between recognising flaws and applause
Lets see what shit I can't tackle anymore?
No momentary happiness or footprints in the sand
No pedal to the metal chase or cigarettes in hand
All good I'll get by
But I hope you understand
The same values I had
Still define who I am
I'm a hip hop boy
Leave the dubstep to club heads
I loose my shit to it
But ain't rapped on it once yet
It ain't me
And trends come and go
But at the time it got known
I'd already out grown it
I guess what I learnt is my golden rule

Is the only thing that matters is the fans
That's who made this possible for me
So I'm responsible for you
It might not be the new

But nothing can beat truth

So please forgive me if it all sounds so familiar
I'm sure that you've heard this all before
I'm only one voice in a world of billions

And no idea's original no more

Forgive me if it all sounds so familiar
I'm sure that you've heard this all before
I'm only one voice
Yeah I'm only one voice
But that voice speaks up for y'all

So please forgive me if it all sounds so familiar
I'm sure that you've heard this all before
Please forgive me if it all sounds so familiar
I'm sure that you've heard this all before
Please forgive me if it all sounds so familiar
I'm sure that you've heard this all before
I'm only one voice in a world of billions
And no idea's original no more
