Lyrics:

I have a lot on my mind all of the time, I ignore all of the signs
telling myself I'm going places but really I'm falling behind
I'm a nobody, from nowhere, with no money, I give no fucks
my flows tight and I write well theres a tiny chance I might blow up

I know somebody somewhere has the same battle happening in their head
where you have a goal and you wont stop till you get it so you wont let yourself go to bed yet, 
you got shit all coz you're piss poor, you write raps till you're wrists sore 
and you tell your girl that your scrap book will be the platform that you lift off but you don't know

not for sure but if you give up hope then you've lost it all 
you got bills to pay, you gotta keep your job so then you gig whenever you aren't rostered on
but its all good, its all good, I love the life that I chose,
I'm so proud, in my home town they come through at all of my shows 

and they tell me I'm real, they say they can relate 
to all the feelings im spilling in all the shit that I say
okay well there aint any time for to question it, im never going to get another chance again
its all hard work and no rest ahead and thats thanks to the voice in my head that says

nothing is stopping you
nothing is stopping you

Nothing

A remix of a Flight Facilities rework 'Crave You'. Recording by Ben Tupou and creative mixing by Anthony Tupou. Verses written and performed by Relevent.


Crave You

JKING - Candle (Official Lyric Video).mp3


“Street Kid” refers to how my younger brother and I (and so many other kids who’ve found them selves in similar situations) were viewed by the Police officers in the first verse of the song. This is a story about two contrasting experiences I had while dealing with the local Police officers. Both stories are 100% true! 

On a side note, my brothers worked just as hard as I did on this track. Willie made the beat, Anth mixed the instrumental and vocals, and Ben spent hours in the studio (our shed) coming up with catchy ways to sing and record. I was always going to tell this story and I’m so proud of how it turned out. 

Give it a listen and let me know what you think!
