Your Man Alex Smith - Splitting The Sky Lyrics

My name is Alex and I'd really like to think
That I can write a decent song or at least a song that doesn't stink
I like to sing, been doing it for most of my life
Still pretty pitchy but y'know can't do everything right
I've done some pretty cool stuff in my career, y'know not to brag
But I guess you'd hope so when you'd done it for twelve years like I have
I played Tamworth, opened for Valhallore and Andrew Strong
Tyler Hilton, Kate Voegelle honestly, like, the list goes on
I write catchy melodies, not gonna stop
I got more hooks than a tackle shop
Big fish little pond but I'm not gonna flop
Your Man Alex Smith heading straight to the top
I'll be faking it, taking it making it mine
If you want a piece of this dick get in line
But I'm afraid you're gonna be waiting a while
Cos I got some other shit up on my mind
Like being a musical prodigy baby
Catch the light coming off of me baby
If you got some money then maybe
I'll grace you with my serendipity
Cos while you were buying your bonds and stocks
I was becoming the god of rock
And I'm glad that I make this look easy to you
But you think that I roll out of bed and write hits? Well I do
I'm the best that there ever was or ever will be
All the rest are just pale imitations of me
Close your tabs and erase all of your history but
You aint getting rid of me
You'd have better luck splitting the sky
Oh
Splitting the sky
Oh
Yeah Splitting the sky
Oh
Splitting the sky
Oh my God that was so egotistical
They all know I'm a fraud, I'm no mystical figure
Got shoddy rhymes and statistically
Everyone in this room can sing better than me
Why the f*ck am I rapping?
God this sucks that's why nobody's clapping
End this misery, grab the syringe
I'm giving out lethal doses of cringe
Even this, even this bit right now, it's too meta
I better rewrite every letter, and
I regret ever believing that I could be
Anything more than I always been
That's Even Hansen, F*ck
Can I have one original thought?
So derivative, I'm surprised I'm not saying some shit
Bout how I'm not throwing away my shot
So where do I rank on the scaling?
"Yeah I give him a ten....years of failing"
Wish I quit when I should've
Wish I offed myself when I still could've
I recall when this was still new to me
I was born with every opportunity
But immediately I dashed it all 'gainst the wall
Like my name was lady Micky B
And I'm sick of this Sisyphus shit this is torturous
This is just taking the piss at this point of course
Maybe the reason that others succeed
Is they're not f*cking assholes like I seem to be
"Alex why can't you appreciate what you got?"
If you think that's the point then it's not
I just wanna make art and not have to suck dick
To get anybody to f*cking come and see it
I'm the biggest piece of shit to walk the face of the Earth
But at least I am aware of it for what it is worth
Close your tabs and erase all of your history
There's no chance that I'll succeed
I'd have better luck splitting the sky
Oh
Splitting the sky
Oh
Yeah Splitting the sky
Oh
Splitting the sky
That was pretty good though
I'm kicking ass at this I should do this all the time
Except not, I'm not even a guest in the house of hip hop
I'm out in the front lawn in my sandals and socks
Holding up a boom box throwing pebbles and rocks
Music aint no pissing contest
But if It were, I would be winning no contest
Just check out my streams
I'm not giving in, never wavering
I got that laminar flow
Why it sound like preparing the crabby patty though?
Like dot-diddly-dot-diddly-dot-diddly-dot-diddly
Dot-diddly-dot-diddly-dot-diddly - dot-dot-dot-dooooo
For me this aint a chore, This is what I was born for
You wish you could do what I do but you can't
Cos you this shit is in my veins and it's not in yours
Yeah my blood is toxic, I'm septic
When I call you better accept, dick
I'm like Jekyll with no Hyde
I'm like Elvis but without the child bride
Justify all this confidence
All my stats are a badge of incompetence
There are kids in the charts who just got their starts
And I can't break a thousand followers
I think it's easier to intuit
I'm a genius and people just aren't into it
Or I'm a hack and my work is too shit
Than it being too average to get a reaction to it
I think I'm done spitting
Hope you liked my example of splitting
Not gonna rap anymore cos
Gotta bring in the chorus
I'm the best and the worst simultaneously
I'm a mother f*cking curse upon the industry
There's no way I'll be going down in history
But you aint getting rid of me
You'd have better luck splitting the sky
Oh
Splitting the sky
Oh
Yeah Splitting the sky
Oh
Splitting the sky
