MARK B & BLADE - The Unknown lyrics

rate me

We are the unknown.

Sometimes it feels like im chasing dimes

Nothing is goin your way

You've been recording endlessly

Sleepless nights aimlessly

Songs wasted cos tapes are gathering dust

Step 1 . we're talented

Step 2 - who can we trust?

The industry is full of cutthroats, force holds

Money controls, killin wit many souls...anything goes

You know the rules

But if you ain't part of the click . you ain't part of the plan

So you might as well quit

Studios costing the earth to hire

You feel you could set the world on fire

If you had a deal

But lets be real about this

Its ain't what you know, its who know

It's all a game and we're all part of the show

What's the role that you play?

Can you do it your way?

You need a hell of .a. lot .a. luck being from the UK

You can say what you wanna say

But remember it's rare that you.ll be getting continuous airplay

We are the unknown.

Now you know the name

Unstoppable clever, artistic

You're about to enter a higher-level dimension

We are fantastic

.We are the unknown.

Now you know the name

Break the barriers and persist to climb

Many have travelled down the road that you're about to take

Made, many mistakes while searching for the perfect break

Years of hardship, ripped jeans, a bearded face

You were there at the wrong time and the wrong place

Maybe next time when you ain't looking desperate

They.ll be on you like a rash

Yeah you guessed it

They wanna know your name, where you're from

How long you been an entertainer for

And who wrote the songs

Yeah, you know Danny from Sony?

Mike at Universal?

Paul from R.C.A?

I met her at the dress rehearsal

Name checkin can get you recognised (for the)

But in the mean time try to survive this further

It's all game to them, but to us its life or death

Or maybe they just like a bit .a. debt

Or maybe they just don't understand

What it means to be poor

I refused to perform but we go on

.We are the unknown. [chorus]

Artistical brain waves of the un-sizables

The streets recognise your names all of the time

You.ve been recording for years and you're well renowned

Situations confuse you

Bad luck pursues you

Promoters hire you for your services and use you

They fail to pay you

They aim to play you

My advice is play the game

Like they do

Who knows what is round the corner

It could be the break that you.ve been waitin for

As a performer

Except something's about to happen

Keep it up

Never give it up

No matter what they all might say

One day you could pay off

Watch the .palacites.

Prow your money

Like you're some sort of megastar

But in the mean time trying to survive is murder

And the conditions you're living in could never be worse

Its in your blood, you're addicted

Nothing can change that

Make your move . this is payback

.We are the unknown.

Now you know the name

Mark B, Blade

We are fantastic

Break through barriers and persist to climb

.We are the unknown.
