Ettrick Shepherd – Circle Lyrics
Artist: Ettrick Shepherd
Song: Circle
As a child i retreated to a corner
Little did i know that it would resurface and take the form of
Trauma but if you were responsible then he goes some hot
Water, i’m dwelling and i’m caught up
Just figured out that i’ve got trust issues
So if you’re not 100 with me i won’t f#ck with you
Cos i’m afraid that all will do what some did you
So there are zero ties or relationships i’m stuck into
Please don’t make me say it again
I came here to dominate not make any friends
Every friend i’ve ever had has been fake or pretend
My circle is not open for mates that resent
This is ten years of seasoned talent
One day it’ll pay off but nobody’s sticking around to see it happen
Going for the top and as i reach to grab it
I wonder who would’ve thought that being with me would given a lead or advantage
I would juggle plates – rapping and pleasing people who fustigated
Receiving tonnes of hatred now i no longer need a balance
I’ma beat the mean m#th*rf#ck*rs and exceed the average
Make my crew proud they know me, sorry to be dramatic
But this was meant for me, you ask around
Got friends to vouch and if you don’t, i’ll ship you out
Low tolerance, that’s right, i am no longer bothering with the
Apologies of them if they don’t rock with their promises, stab in the backside
Screw that, i won’t settle for it
I’m treating this as crucial until it gets important
My circle is my engine – time to rev and floor it
And if you ever intersect then there’s a lesson to be taught
Please don’t make me say it again
I came here to dominate not make any friends
Every friend i’ve ever had has been fake or pretend
My circle is not open for mates that resent
I need loyalty but all i see is betrayal
I’m diving at my goal while they’re just chasing theirs with a speed of a snail
These are stormy seas but i beat you with no breeze in sail
I’m in the b#tch until i pop, if i leave then i fail
There’s no room for women, i’m not sixteen years old
Anymore, i’m moving different – do it myself, no tools are given
I keep my distance from losers, quitters and useless b#tches
Or perhaps they stay away from me cos of my rep as a rueful cynic
But i grew over the years and i improved my fitness
My health is back on track but i still can’t cure this sickness
Of having these parasites tryna insult my tunes and lyrics
That’s why i’m getting gruesome with it so bring a whole group of spitters
Half of my friends are rarely a part of my career but were there from the start
And were referenced in various bars but that’s something that i’ve kept in the dark
Worry doll and xx are out of the bag now
So i may as well name drop but they’ve fallen into the background
I’ve been busy burning bridges, working to build from suburbs to riches
Grabbing the bag like pigeons to chips then take to the skies with it
I’ve got enemies, when i turn the mic on then they are nothing but targets
They’re not going anywhere but even if they were i would hit them regardless
I’ve written lengthy verses for persons i thought were friends but
Ended up not sending me messages if my mental worsened
f#ck ‘em, i don’t need fakes even though i know that it’s cliche
People give me such blind rage, i can no longer see straight
If time is money and you’re a tightwad or a cheapskate
We are not buddy buddy if you don’t know my release date
The day is coming so don’t be impatient, please wait
But the moment that i make it it’s gonna be great
Let’s not take this relationship into the studio
Cos nobody can keep up with this pace i’ve set
So if you’re not helping me take my steps, save your breath
Music is a game and i play like chess
Except i make move after move after move and you haven’t
Made one yet, i pick and choose
Perhaps i’ll socialise but i’m never in the mood
Thought i was extrovert but now i’m shifting to being able to
Lift the roof with minimal help, i’m living proof
Tight circle, no one wanted to my friend as a
Teen and it was quite hurtful but i’m glad i took the leap
Over that high hurdle so don’t start me or start an argy bargy
With my entourage we come back harder and more harshly
Please don’t make me say it again
I came here to dominate not make any friends
Every friend i’ve ever had has been fake or pretend
My circle is not open for mates that resent
Please don’t make me say it again
I came here to dominate not make any friends
Every friend i’ve ever had has been fake or pretend
My circle is not open for mates that resent
