Med simpla ackord, stämmor och med instrument som speglar låtens sårbarhet vill vi belysa ett nytt perspektiv på känslan av att bli sviken, när ett löfte bryts, sårade känslor eller att inte blir tagen på allvar. Don’t close your eyes, stop pretending, you’re not present.

Not present

Text & Musik

E. Grass och J. Friberg

Don’t close your eyes, stop pretending you’re not present
Only see what you wanna see
Please don’t make it seem so real, stop pretending you’re not present

Vers 1
Look I'm done waiting
Step it up or imma look at you as dead weight and you gotta be mistaken if you think i'm not gonna go through with all my statements, you don't know how hard I fought for this and it's a shame when you take your place somewhere on my base
You do not shoot your shot and then you're wasting my time, back up in the line, if I trust your promise you better pay homage
This is something I want so bad, tour the world like a rappin’ nomad, I know that I could do good with power, Imma light it up when we just devour
If I get sour taste in my mouth from the limelight Imma be ready to stomach the hindsight
You the softest rapper though you don't even swear
How you gonna conquer this game? You ain't prepared
I know, but beware the crazy, crazy's what conquers the world and that's what I've been lately, maybe I'm in for some change and I'll greatly elevate my situation with a new foundation, I just need some confirmation, I don't know, am I way over my head?
Maybe I'm capping, my music is dead, but I know that I'd like to see where it lead

Vers 2
For so many years, I've been waiting for cheers but your ears don't listen, so we missing, you be dissin all the ideas we haven't tested yet, we invested bets in this thing, cus he knows that we're in the heat, though if you wanna make it up on that scene you gotta get your mean on, revolutionise like Elon, post that we can get our lean on
Please believe, I don't wanna have you leave, when we, have gotten so far
I see the breeze, by the tropical leaves, this topic will seize if we don't set the bar
I'll sit at the bar, destroyed, decoyed, from life, if you take this away from me
Might be lucid dreaming but I'm used to seeing different realities this a normality,
So my well being hangs on you know, hope he's not too heavy but he carries many amounts, of social fears, loads of gears, he's known to hear a lot of obsessive thoughts, the stress he fought and still does, has him hyperventilating, waiting for the day when he would go eliminate him, this is a verbatim,
hate him and you made him, cause you always knew his name, listen to what he has to say Before you mention him and claim
