See I remember I was just like you Tryna do anything you could to make the hood like you Make the hood like me See that was not likely But now the hood likes me Because I’m not like Lee Leonidas as a person Wasn’t good like me And I was hoping that the hood might see Cause even though I know the path I’m on Best believe the road I took before was long No short cuts, tall grass in the verges where I’m from On the verge cause you can hear the hiss o serpents when it’s long If you drifting get you bitten hear hurting in the song Clapping with or clapping at you till it’s curtains and ya gone Hook - See I’m just tryna normalise People living normal lives Cause you ain’t gotta put any front Or get it all precise This shit can happen over night Good things come in over time Put that work in And I promise it’ll all be right I’m just tryna normalise People living normal lives Cause you ain’t gotta put any front Or get it all precise This shit can happen over night Good things come in over time Put that work in And I promise it’ll all be right Verse 1 See I’m just tryna normalise Normal lives Put me in room full up of fake You’ll hear the awkward silence Real nigga talking Quiet Listen Cause I would advise it You don’t wanna miss my guidance Journey through life what’s in my mind And you can see inside it See I remember I was just like you... Tryna seek my validation in the hood like you I even missed my graduation just to look like you I Haven’t always been a hood type dude I did a lot of fake shit to keep it real 1hunna... And it’s peak these people ain’t my people still But I still love ya I know a lot o street shit Things you told me were secret I would never If we fell out Mention or repeat it I been in the mix and mentions Damned if I repeat it It wasn’t road to bibles It was Life and broken cycles I was going round in circles Now it’s I and my disciples Smaller circles I would die for It feels like I wrote the bible (Amen) Hook - See I’m just tryna normalise People living normal lives Cause you ain’t gotta put any front Or get it all precise This shit can happen over night Good things come in over time Put that work in And I promise it’ll all be right I’m just tryna normalise People living normal lives Cause you ain’t gotta put any front Or get it all precise This shit can happen over night Good things come in over time Put that work in And I promise it’ll all be right Verse 2 See I’m just tryna normalise Normal girls and guys Working 9-5s All I’m normally hearing is lies Talking bout a line That never bangs And banging lines Throughout the day a couple times I only know a few that made it Off the trap A couple guys You live at home with ya parents You Deep down you wanna fall in love You don’t wanna lose it all to drugs You wanna hold a hug And go sleep peacefully Thinking There’s no police on me You don’t even hate em You just know that’s how it needs to be All I ever see is these drip niggas and bitches with lip fillers Living their life so fictitious Probably wishing that their parents really Did stick with em Or that they stuck at something as kid That would stick with em While blaming a shit system A big difference Our mindset tells us that the system hurts To the ones that made it they would probably say the system works They insist That you assist em Then dismiss you in the lurch I just wish you heard this first Hook - See I’m just tryna normalise People living normal lives Cause you ain’t gotta put any front Or get it all precise This shit can happen over night Good things come in over time Put that work in And I promise it’ll all be right I’m just tryna normalise People living normal lives Cause you ain’t gotta put any front Or get it all precise This shit can happen over night Good things come in over time Put that work in And I promise it’ll all be right

about

Leonidas is a British rapper from the UK.

Normalise is Leonidas 3rd release of 2022 and talks about imposter syndrome in its entirety.

"Normalise Normal Lives" by detailing a journey relating to himself and a majority of the people he's known in his community, where they have had times or are currently undergoing circumstances which lead the individual into a fictitious way of thinking about how they should be expected to carry themselves in the eyes of the public and society.

"I just wanna normalise people living normal lives", it seems that the concept of todays expectations are farfetched and often inorganic to be attainable or if attained, unsustainable. There's a path for every individual to remain themselves and original.
