ExP
I was born a, fortunate guy with a portion of pie /
Not silver-spoon fed just a shiny fork and a knife
I bin...awkward and shy - nearly all of my life /
But something about rap gave me all my pride /
Started performing at nights - I was awful on mics /
But you gotta start somewhere, I was in awe of the guys /
Who could tear it up with a freestyle and talk to the minds /
Till one day the sickest one of em, pulled me aside /
Took my number said we should hook up and mek beats /
“ExPerimentality” was too long so he named me “ExP” /
And that stuck, he taught me how to rap good /
Then we’d head out of Bradford and get mashed up /
Years later best friend became enemy /
But there’s no use in just cultivating a negative memory /
Cos I still use the energy in every free I ever speak /
And if he ever gets to see this track I wrote this specially to //

Chorus
Clear my head of the negativity /
Living’s been filling my head with hate since the date of my delivery /
...But life’s too short for that /
Cos one day we’ll be dying and we’ll want it all back /
Clear my head of the negativity /
Living’s been filling my head with hate since the date of my delivery /
...But life’s too short for that /
Cos one day we’ll be dying and we’ll want it all back //

Now we’ve got to keep productive, like I'm a factory /
The fact of the matter is - I've lost my batteries /
I need a positive connection to jump up /
And kick the negative vibes and stop with this dumb luck /
Possibly one option would be cracking a smirk /
Not a smile until I find myself residing from work /
Free from the jerks tryna climb the corporate mountain /
Monkeys in suits stood shouting, well I’m out then /
Make my own fate, food for my own plate /
Make a few moves in exchange at my own rate /
Going straight for my goals cos this gold aint /
Going to grow straight from the ground like some old grape /
I’m going out to find my soul mate and be loved /
And if you want to join in then feel free to feel good /
I’m thinking we should go down in history /
For trying to stop the negative vibes I feel killing me // (so)

Chorus
Clear your head of the negativity /
Living’s been filling my head with hate since the date of my delivery /
...But life’s too short for that /
Cos one day we’ll be dying and we’ll want it all back /
Clear your head of the negativity /
Living’s been filling my head with hate since the date of my delivery /
...But life’s too short for that /
Cos one day you’ll be dying and you’ll want it all back //

We gotta keep positive / and lets be honest it's /
Easier said than done, that much is obvious /
And it's a fact, all of us face the mill /
Where you'd like to pay the bills but you're tryna make a million /
You might hate your boss; you're inclined to kill him /
Despite this in your mind it's fulfilling /
To smile for a little while and chill then /
Take a deeper breath in your lungs till you've filled them /
And relax /
Feel the stress leaving you /
It really helps to clear your head when it's getting full /
And right now mine's clouded by the break up /
Though I'm still bouncing round to great drums, safe love /
After time you'll realise you it was proper blast /
And just be grateful of what you had and what you'll have /
And though you're hurting now; I'll guarantee /
All you need to do to improve your mentality // (is)

Chorus
Clear your head of the negativity /
Living’s been filling my head with hate since the date of my delivery /
...But life’s too short for that /
Cos one day we’ll be dying and we’ll want it all back /
Clear your head of the negativity /
Living’s been filling my head with hate since the date of my delivery /
...But life’s too short for that /
Cos one day you’ll be dying and you’ll want it all back //
