lirik lagu noah lennon - through the chapters (bonus track)
[intro: noah lennon]
my life comes with many different chapters
the everyday matters come with contributing factors
and i’m hanging on without a harness
that’s just the life of an artist
with back~and~forth emails and talks over coffee
you see the highs but don’t know what they cost me
this city’s costly
i can’t overcome the hardships by working softly, or being sloppy
what’s the point in making waves if the waves are choppy?
i need point breaks
exercising every muscle, now my joints ache
love and rejoice hate
i construct the criticism from choices i make
but some voices you can’t еscape, just focus
just focus
listen, breathе
go
[bridge 1: noah lennon]
gather round, find a sp~ce, come on in
there’s a journey through the chapters that’s about to begin, it goes
[verse 1: noah lennon]
first came the keys, i was playing them with ease when i pleased
had some lessons with some teachers, then i met one from belize
obe to his name, he was a master of his craft
i seized the opportunity, grades began to start
went from 1 to 2, then from 2 to 3, then from 3 to 4
they were all distinctions i was sure, playing with conviction
no restrictions after 5 and 6, so i jumped to 8 and beat the success rate
and let me set the record straight, i still play, although that was 2 years ago
composing is my thing, like this song, i hope you hear the flow
i’m no pro, i’m a student of life, i love to care
picking up guitar and my vocals, just to take it there
[verse 2: noah lennon]
mm
haha
second came the dance, moved my body when i got the chance
friday evening classes after school, paid in advance
street was the style down at aim high
and i put my name high on the list
ready to fly, i was like a rocket full of fuel
waiting for ignition, then it came to me at laban with that same name, like a mission
my expression was contemporary, that was what i claimed
moved to accelerate, and i maintained on course with a boost, that was invitation only
i heard information slowly that teachers should get to know me, and they did
said i could try out for cat
the centre for advanced training, i was ready for that, i thought
next thing, i was admitted on the course
bought the ballet shoes, tights, black joggers, and some shorts
deemed as ready on the paper but not ready in the mind
and you know those two things must be aligned
oh man, it was intense, i was scared, also difficult financially
the weight of dance was shared, i was struggling substantially
with no choice left, i called it quits after the first year
but still won’t let my dancing disappear
[verse 3: noah lennon]
third came the words, started writing aged 10
it was a poem called “the dance” that introduced me to the pen
i had bursts of creative thinking stemming from imagination
an avid reader as a kid, there’s the inkling
see the books were an escape from my neighbourhood and troubled peers
living in the fiction was suppression of my fears
imagination, plus ink, plus paper, was the formula
that equalled freedom in my books and my hooks
i combined my writing and what i depict
are the stories, truth~stripped
in these poems, songs, scripts
since 18, i’ve been committed
mr. ordinary submitted
there’s answers in my lines
i’m so glad that i’ve persisted in my penmanship
hear my conscience without censorship
importance in each sentence with underlying references
for sure, it’s what i represent (represent)
keep on giving 110%
yeah, you’ll see!
[verse 4: noah lennon]
fourth came the acting, a new world that i discovered
holding secrets to uncover, it was a freedom like no other
i could be a hero, villain, lover, sidekick, or a tree
anything i wanted to be
back in drama gcse
started taking it seriously at 16
then i got cast in a play at 17, i learnt the scenes
at 18, got nyt
at 19, i did yati and got my first agent
but college was the main engagement, i was impatient
‘trynna go hollywood without a job to my name, that’s insane
i guess daniel kaluuya is the person to blame
he was my blueprint, a torch that led the way
i auditioned every day
but naivety would play the hard role of a rejection
rejection, rejection, rejection, rejection
until i got the message
there’s a very small percentage of yeses, successes
running on guesses, i had so many stresses
and now at 20, i’ve matured, focusing on love and health
life experience increasing, locating my inner self
the process has just begun for the person i’ll become
mother’s child, father’s son
next up, chapter 21
