Don't Drag Me In (Ft. Mystro) - Braintax, Mystro

You won’t catch me on commuter trains at half past 8

I freeline at half 9 and I’m still not late

You’ll never see me after work pouring money down my throat

Talking shit, gaining weight, for the sake of a joke

Or with the other suits in the gents hittin' the coke

I like a smoke but I always keep an eye on my notes

Yeah you can call me self-righteous but I’ll never lose hope

You’ll never see me 9 to 5 getting over to cope

Not a typical life, I dream wilderness ways

I resisted being villainous back in the days

I was the one, seen my friends twocking for fun

Ripping car radios out then… run!

I’m up the ginnel quicker than the rest because I didn’t smoke

Full belt round the corner, shit!

this is no joke

Heard the helicopter buzzing overhead it’s

Time for me to be out, time to get selfish

I can’t be getting nicked for what someone else did

Blended with the bushes till shadows melted

And when the sun came up it was less hot

Stepped off down the cobblestones at a trot

I’m off to write rhymes, and I made the right choice

And I know a lot of people take issue with my voice

Even though we’re all equal i’ll be makin' my cream

Fuck a British state of mind and the American dream…

It’s peer pressure

You make your own mistakes

But don’t drag me in, I’m tryin' to elevate

Course I ain’t happy 'bout what’s happenin' now

Stuff ain’t goin too well for you so now you’re dragging me down

And that is just foul so play fair, stop acting like you don’t know

My struggle in this jungle is just standing on my own toes

And most won’t accept the fact that times are hard

I say they.

kinda are but still life is large

And I’m planning to make it big to you know — rhyme with stars

And have major companies bidding for me buying me cars

Be in my own show pedalling across the Earth

People I don’t know begging me to drop a verse

'But what’s this worth?'

you ask, I say not everything mate

But it’s where I’m tryin' to be at so don’t get in my way

Just stay in your place

Don’t grab on me when problems are invading your space

Cos as for me blud if I make a mistake

I’ve only myself to blame plus I’ve dealt with pain

And the sunny side’s always better when you’ve felt the pain

So deal with it — your umbrella is your mental state

I can’t be the only one that’s keeping my friends awake

And I know you ain’t told me everything you meant to say

But we can set things straight cos that was yesterday

And day out and day in you might notice all these strange things

But realize I’m going through the same thing

The art from the start is maintaining and training your brain

And of course like they say with no pain there’s no gaining.

It’s peer pressure

You make your own mistakes

But don’t drag me, I’m tryin' to elevate
