This song is taken from our show:

Indebted: The Mix-Tape (2018)

lyrics

Everytime I think I’m not good enough
I owe myself an apology
Everyday when I say that I’m useless
I owe myself a truth
When I say I’m not like that person
I owe myself gratitude
When I am successful
I owe myself a thank you

Thousands of hopers
Millions of dreams
A billion souls
But not all in the same teams

A change needs to occur, for us to improve the way we act
I’m snapped
by the way move

I’m stuck in this corner,
prices to pay
Bills are suffocating!
Can you not just wait

Like a couple of months
or a couple of days?!
All this is depressing,
oh my days!

Or may I say,
Oh my Lord.
I need some strength
or something to hold!

Can I text for help,
could I make a call?
I feel like every written word is aimed at an empty hall.

We’ve got the rappers, the singers, beat-makers and producers to make beautifully mixed sounds and earn wages.
But our lives get flooded by mistakes and negativity which drags us back down to our worst stages.

We gotta take some time out of our lives to realise and recognise that there are great things out there, like the success and the blessings.
They gotta keep guessing,
you need to stop stressing.

You need to start refreshing your soul and get testing new on a daily
And maintain self love coz that’s what allows you to make move safely.

All I’m saying is be grateful to yourself and visualise how it benefits your wealth.

Everytime I think I’m not good enough
I owe myself an apology
Everyday when I say that I’m useless
I owe myself a truth
When I say I’m not like that person
I owe myself gratitude
When I am successful
I owe myself a thank you

The most important factors are what you sleep around
The only ones that count are everything you dream about

But if you want your dreams to come to life you need to ensure that you apply them to you
and keep them a 100% true

Take in credit for every little action
Every tiny little fraction
that forms an impaction
towards your life and everything you stand for.

Achieve your goals
and the dark plates
are what you must dodge
and ignore

Keep your hopes high
and your head high
Believe and mark my words,
you will fly.

These aren’t things you take for advice
These are things you must practice and you’ve got time

You’ve got time to believe, understand and pass around
Time to thank yourself, live in positivity and that’s what it’s all about

We don’t wanna hear you cry out loud, and see you hold your head down.
We want to witness your inner greatness so get up, get out there.
Make your haters bow down, fair and square
Make it clean and show you’ve grown
Prove to yourself that you’re way more than what you’ve actually shown.

Everytime I think I’m not good enough
I owe myself an apology
Everyday when I say that I’m useless
I owe myself a truth
When I say I’m not like that person
I owe myself gratitude
When I am successful
I owe myself a thank you
