contentment lyrics
[verse 1]
to myself i’ve got a burning question
how come i f-ck up so much but never learn my lesson
it’s bad pattern and it’s worth correction
i’m variant and it’s proven to be curse and blessing
it probably doesn’t seem bad upon first impression
got a lot of doubt but can’t let it birth depression
they wanna see the quality of my verses lessen
i’m k!lling myself with my past as the murder weapon
tryna grow my niche then scatter the seeds
i’ll keep pushing regardless of what happens to me
if something flops, i try not to be shattered beneath
cos popularity isn’t something i actually need
plus n0body appeals to the masses with ease
and there are so many fakes when you’re stacking the cheese
but i’m willing to cop all that for a piece
of attention for the songs and the raps i release
i’m holding out for fame but i’m not desperate
like if it comes around then i’ll happily accept it
cos if music puts food in my stomach i owe it to you
just to do this for a living, i’d be over the moon

[hook – juliana dore]
you’re not desperate, contentment
you’re not desperate, contentment
you’re not desperate, contentment
contentment, you’re not desperate
contentment, you’re not desperate
contentment, you’re not desperate
[verse 2]
i feel really stupid when i actually say this
but ten years ago i thought that every rapper was famous
i assumed i’d just magically make it
and be on – platinum cds and rapping on stages
i was motivated by all of the extrinsic stuff
from the word go i thought that i was sick enough
i thought that my flow was worth a million bucks
but i wasn’t moving, i was just a sitting duck
at the time process was something that i didn’t love
the end goal was the reason i had fitted up
but eventually fell in love with the moment that the
paper and the ink would touch, gave me such a vivid rush
so i do wanna take it to heights
that have never been seen by the australian eye
take off just to play in the sky
but either way the light is staying alive

[hook – juliana dore]
you’re not desperate, contentment
you’re not desperate, contentment
you’re not desperate, contentment
contentment, you’re not desperate
contentment, you’re not desperate
contentment, you’re not desperate
[verse 3]
four years into it, it’s been a long road
my mission is to be considered in the convo
sounds a little shallow, that’s just what i want though
for them to say that i k!ll a live show with one blow
into the microphone, it seems like a movie
i’ll chase the rapper life cos i know it won’t choose me
until this transitions from a hobby to a duty
but it goes much deeper, you thinking it’s just 2d
i can feel it, my music is crazy
it’s too bad that n0body’s viewing it daily
but now’s the time to push harder not do a one-eighty
it’s the power of a gift and i’m not using it safely
maybe if i could get a hit then they would let me
in, i just need a balance between being big and being
me, working towards getting the success
that i’ve dreamt of but am i wrong for settling for less?
am i wrong for wanting nothing more than writing songs?
and performing them so i can stay on the high i’m on
music and i have developed the best type of bond
we’re part of one another so it’s like we’re one
i’ve still got motivation to grind
still feel a tingle when i think of a new rhyme
the suspense is building like true crime
cos i’m about to blow and know i will in due time
