Earl Grey

[Hook]

So now it's Earl Grey

Now it's Earl Grey and sugar

I want Earl Grey ,sugar and milk

Tea, yes tea

It's a simple pleasure

It's a very simple pleasure

But it's a pleasure I need (Check yeah, yo)

[Verse 1]

It was the first of many challenges

To try convince the masses that we're talented

In a world full of watermarked canvases

And radios that don't play songs if there's a rap in it

And fame's instantaneously given

If your face is positioned where the massive population is driven

Believe what the papers have written cause

Rarely does truth even make any difference, yeah

We watch edited versions of others' lives

To deal with the issues that we have another time

Everything's an unpopularity contest

If you're not voted out it's you that they want less

You can end your career in one tweet

And child counselors don't get enough sleep

Professional footballers earn more in one week

Than one of them earns in ten years at least

They're swept of their feet

They don't wanna know now

If they're listening or watching they just wanna zone out

Know how

We don't even know how to find our own mouth

When being spoon fed a dose of being docile

[Hook]

So now it's Earl Grey

Now it's Earl Grey and sugar

I want Earl Grey ,sugar and milk

Tea, yes tea

It's a simple pleasure

It's a very simple pleasure

But it's a pleasure I need (Check yeah, yo)

[Verse 2]

Hoods up is a necessity

Cause when my hood's down you still think less of me

Yeah it's one vicious circle

I'd rather keep my hood up to hide from all this negative energy

It's no wonder our society is segregated

When old people act surprised that I am educated

Discretion should be taught more

Rules mean nothing people love it when you break 'em

Cause people clap when you're bad

People clap when you're good

People cheer when they're told

People laugh when they should

People dream of a little more sleep

But go full throttle at the end of the week

So gimme that club beat with the same old topic

I need to sing along while I drive to the office

Tell me to dance or 'bout the money that you make

So I can go to my desk and dream my life was the same

But being in the spotlight's a dark place

Cause normality's a drug that you can't take

People drive hard for a shot at the fast lane

It's only people from school that you can class mates

[Hook]

So now it's Earl Grey

Now it's Earl Grey and sugar

I want Earl Grey ,sugar and milk

Tea, yes tea

It's a simple pleasure

It's a very simple pleasure

But it's a pleasure I need (Check yeah, yo)

[Verse 3]

She's not smart but she's got a good heart

It's not about the winner

It's who took part

Tell the person who came last when they should laugh, Haha

(It's not about who took part)

Hold up... Put down down

You've got love by the bucket load

Don't turn that noun upside down

Don't frown (Check it)

This train's like going out inside

I just managed to get in with my side out

It's really taking me somewhere

Except standing means you don't fit in

ADHD drugs are like the latest HD plugs

The ideas great but once you review the finer details you realize it's depressing

Having too much of something isn't pleasant

If I was born rich I'd kinda wish I was a peasant

Cause you learn a lot of lessons

If I was Jay Z and Beyonce

I'd send Blue Ivy into the ghetto till she was like 11

And then be like surprise you're a millionaire

All I'm saying is yo

[Hook]

So now it's Earl Grey

It's a simple pleasure
