So now it's Earl Grey,
|
Now it's Early 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)
|
|
It was the first of many challenges,
|
To try convince the masses that we're talented
|
In a world full of watermarked canvases
|
And radio's that don't play songs if there's a rap in it
|
And fame's instantaneously given
|
If your face is positioned where the mass of population is driven
|
People believe what the papers have written cause
|
Rarely does truth even many any difference (yeah)
|
|
We watch edited versions of other's 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 counsellors 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 spoon fed a dose of being docile...
|
|
Yeah, so now it's... Earl Grey,
|
Now it's Early Grey and sugar,
|
Now it's Earl Grey, sugar and milk.
|
Tea, it's just tea
|
It's a... simple pleasure
|
It's a very simple pleasure
|
But it's a simple pleasure I need
|
(Check it)
|
|
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,
|
Disgression should be thought 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,
|
|
Yeah, so now it's Earl Grey,
|
Now it's Early Grey and sugar,
|
Now it's Earl Grey, sugar and milk.
|
Yeah, just tea... tea
|
(Check it)
|
It's a... simple pleasure
|
It's a very, very... simple pleasure
|
But it's a simple pleasure I need
|
(Check it)
|
|
She's not smart but she's got a good heart,
|
It's not about the winner
|
it's who took part (yeah),
|
Tell the person who came last then they said they should laugh, Haha,
|
(Haha, sorry, I got some more, leave it running, leave it running.)
|
(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.
|
Yeah... That is... That is not a rhyme, that's just talking...
|
|
Yo, now listen,
|
All I'm saying is yo,
|
Now it's Earl Grey,
|
Now it's Early Grey and sugar,
|
So now it's Earl Grey, sugar and milk.
|
It's just tea... It's only tea,
|
It's a very simple pleasure
|
A very, very, very simple pleasure,
|
But it's a very simple pleasure I need,
|
And that's me
|
(simple pleasure I need)
|
(I need this in my life,)
|
(I need it ohh-woah-woah-ohh)
|
(Keep it normal)
|
