lirik lagu madiha bhatti - stage might
i have something to say
a confession, profession, a feeling to convey
it’s not so much a lesson but an obstacle in essence
it’s the story of my hurdle, my mountain, my wall
and if i’m gonna tell it, i gotta tell it all
though it’s nothing like part 2 of that confession
please excuse that data, digression
you see i’m in possession of a secret distress
and i just wanna express it
i really need to address it, i’m gonna try to impress it
and i hope to impress you in this scattered rap session
you see i cannot write a poem to save my life
my words are as rough as a serrated knife
and rhyme and reason simply do not gush
from my fingers in a veritable rush
and although i affect ample ability
with my awesome alliterative agility
i just cannot get my head into it
basically i overdo it
but that’s not the secret written on this page
you see that if there’s one thing that really makes this heart beat against its cage
it’s the transition from word to stage
a thought of being appraised, caught in your gaze
the anxiety is making me daze
days, days, weeks, months and years
is how long i’ve held on to this irrational fear
it’s one that curdles my nerves
that keeps this chatty mouth reserved
and stifles that verb that i hold so dear
and i am out of breath a little
but that’s nothing compared to the brittle
gasping gulps of o2 i’ve got to take
when i’m oh too scared to share my scribbles
cuz even when i know they’re more than drivel
i know my courage will fizzle the moment i’m asked
to step forward, speak up a little
and i will be fitful of regret
knowing i couldn’t climb those stairs
metaphorical or literal
so now i have got a story to share
about the trials and tribulations that kept me scared
glued to my chair for fear of being compared
examined, judged or bare
yeah i was 12 years young when there was a talent show
and i had a set of lungs, i thought i’d give it a go
and there could have been some real soul in that solo
but they never found out that i could blow
cuz my vocal chords became paralyzed
as the pairs of eyes started to size me up
and that was the first and last time i would ever give up
i never fell from the stages i never bothered to get up on
so i was just another plebe in the stands
never got to feel my hammering heart
and when i wrote that perfect metaphor
i didn’t raise my hand
cuz i repelled the spotlight just as i’d planned
now i might not be able to turn back the sands of time
but i don’t need to, i’m still very much in my prime
i can spite that hour glass in every one of these lines
in this very dr. seussian way of mine
now i have got my feet planted on this floor
my pulse is leaping out of my wrist
and the tremble in my fingers will not subsist
which is why i’m waving my hands like this
and i know these rhymes may be somewhat amiss
but at least i can say them loud and with emphasis
because once upon a time
my only captive audience was my shower head
but now i am telling you that my voice is no longer dead
and there ain’t no~no~no no way i’m stopping
you can’t hold me down
i’m like that girl at graduation who gave a speech so profound
oh wait, that was me, so you can go ahead
throw tomatoes at my feet, i don’t really care
cuz i’m picturing you all in your underwear
yeah i have something to say
a confession, profession, a feeling to convey
and there are plenty more where that came from
believe you, me because these bright lights
might not help me see but they have set me free
and although people use this mic to express misery
i am here in exultant victory
so you better clap with me, snap with me
get your pens and pencils ready for an autograph with me
cuz this will not be the last time that you hear from me
