Barriers lyrics

[Intro]
I travel light
A notebook, a duffel, and my pride
Some what for the struggle and the rhymes
Just stayin' out of trouble for the night
But I've had to jump the barrier
'Cause buskin' is my job, I'm only startin'
Just city hoppin' lots and gettin' by
Chillin' with my babes to ease my mind

[Verse 1]
Look, I've got loads of love and I've got loads of trainers
I've got to learn to trust, it's been like that for ages
I've got loads of mates and I've got loads of fakers
Most only want you when you're coming up like flippin' ravers
And I've got people I've known since we werе babies
Not shout me in years, wе've gone from friends to strangers
I've got loads of hurt written on loads of pages
I fold it up like Origami, pain's the thing that shapes us right?

[Chorus]
A notebook, a duffel, and my pride
Some what for the struggle and the rhymes
Just stayin' out of trouble for the night
But I've had to jump the barrier
'Cause buskin' is my job, I'm only startin'
Just city hoppin' lots and getting by (Together)
Chillin' with my babes to ease my mind
[Verse 2]
You see, I try to talk about my hurt and still got hurt
So I just bottle it up, now I bottle it 'till I burst (<I burst)
But that don't make it better, only makes it worse
So I just write it in a verse 'cause I'm not good with my words
Unless they've got a beat behind 'em or
Or I can tap my feet in time and pace around to stop me from cryin'
Look, I don't want the sympathy
And I don't want you to pity me
I'm a big girl and I find that 'ish belittlin'
But when you're lied to, you get your back up
Yeah, I'd go back if I could
And I would
sh*t, I'd go back and I would take away my trust
And I wouldn't give out love so easy
Not until I know you know how to treat me
I've got divine energy
That hard-to-find energy, that's mine
'Cause all I've ever done is love and be kind
I'm just protectin' my spirit
Neglecting what is bad
And I'm respectin' who isn't, yeah

[Chorus]
A notebook, a duffel, and my pride
Some what for the struggle and the rhymes
Just stayin' out of trouble for the night
But I've had to jump the barrier
'Cause buskin' is my job, I'm only startin'
Just city hoppin' lots and getting by (Together)
Chillin' with my babes to ease my mind
