Alpha by Ethos The Rapper Lyrics
[Verse 1]
And I never thought I would be here, took me long enough to get in gear but now they hear me loud and clear so never fear
I came outta nowhere, they're sayin' it isn't fair but only because they didn't prepare and now I'm everywhere they dare to glare
No debate that the music I write in this world has been holdin' it's weight
Why you think I'm releasin' the demos I hatе makin' people out therе wait, always keepin' it straight
I think that that's a given that you can't fake, no wonder they all migrate straight to the 3rd magnate
[Chorus]
And I'm doin' my best to blaze the trail in every way
And I'm forced to be the alpha, but I could use a holiday
Don't live in the past and now I'm better off in every way, now the world's my clay
Andale, past is gone so learn, but don't replay, it's not worth suffocatin' on yesterday
[Verse 2]
Mistakes were made along the way and I was in disarray
But now I'm laser-sharp and focused and speedin' on down every highway
I'll make the case that all the shit you chase is just savin' face with the poison of the world, you're laced
And never awakenin' from the daze, didn't ask to be so needed, don't take that as conceited
Standin' apart, the competition is loud, but they've conceded, actions sayin' defeated
Soon they'll be sayin' I'm one with the pen but when we arrive on then, I'll be in position warm and seated
[Chorus]
And I'm doin' my best to blaze the trail in every way
And I'm forced to be the alpha, but I could use a holiday
Don't live in the past and now I'm better off in every way, now the world's my clay
Andale, past is gone so learn, but don't replay, it's not worth suffocatin' on yesterday
[Verse 3]
Pity party idea's dated, no longer am I manipulated, I rise above with love and I'm never pointlessly mad or aggravated
Not my fault they never participated and this was happenin' 'fore I was slated and yet still I dumbly placated
Never again will I give up integrity for makin' a mend, watchin' it end, and I'll still send
My happiest thoughts, but now you are all just some lines I expend, line on a sheet, to reascend
Webbin' you all like a Spider-Man, on your own web you extend, me they commend, will you ever comprehend?
[Chorus]
Yeah, me neither but I'm doin' my best to blaze the trail in every way
And I'm forced to be the alpha, but I could use a holiday
Don't live in the past and now I'm better off in every way, now the world's my clay
Andale, past is gone so learn, but don't replay, it's not worth suffocatin' on yesterday
You gotta not want it, so leave your past behind, yeah beat it
And I never thought I would be here, took me long enough to get in gear but now they hear me loud and clear so never fear
I came outta nowhere, they're sayin' it isn't fair but only because they didn't prepare and now I'm everywhere they dare to glare
No debate that the music I write in this world has been holdin' it's weight
Why you think I'm releasin' the demos I hatе makin' people out therе wait, always keepin' it straight

And I'm doin' my best to blaze the trail in every way
And I'm forced to be the alpha, but I could use a holiday
Don't live in the past and now I'm better off in every way, now the world's my clay
