Long Past Short History There comes a time you stop wanting to be old and
you want to be young again, It's just funny cos these kids really want to be old yet their
parents want to be young again You only realise somethings happening when it's already
happened I can feel myself reaching it already Tryna get chucked outa lessons cos your bored cos detentions don’t go on your
criminal records, But now if you make a mistake,
you might not be forgiven, i'm growing up too quick, i just cant seem
to make the most of it ive wasted alot of time and theres already been
countless opportunities ive missed I’ll have the cake but not
the candles, I know i’m getting old when
i start wearing socks n sandels N i start moaning
about these teenage vandals I cant just wait for things to happens,
cos from what ive seen theres no patterns And
everythings hidden, i wish i could go back and do a few things that i didnt With
reality you lose touch, cos you think about life too much i swear ive
gone mad thinking about the universe, why is nothing just clear cut theres must
be 1 father in the sky, i just wish it was still the same at Christmas You can believe in yourself, but if thats not winning prizes you're losing business
you reach crunch time 1 time, then you risk a path Cos you gota first act serious if you want the last laugh We've moved so far
into who we are but we've lost the past I've felt the rise now I'll feel the fall but don't we all La La Land we
grow up with more pressure than love it seems our best is never enough, all these expectations are truly messing me up Verse 1I
pace around my room watching paint dry,I can’t tell the difference between
day and night,I can’t tell the difference between black and white,I
aint seen him ages man, is Jack alrite?Nah i’m fucking stressed, i cant
think of the best thing to do next,They’re not loose, they’re aint any screws left,Let
me chop off yours, i need a new head,I never remember my nights out,Just
an empty wallet left, i need sort my life out,A slap aint powerful enough to switch be
back to reality,I need someone to punch my fucking lights out,Maybe
rip my eyes out, so i can see myselfLend me my own hand, cos i really need
some help/////////////Shall
i start this essay, nah smoke another cigaretteTattoo my eyelids and i’ll still
forgetAn hour with my gp which ive missed againlook
at me Im mister lazy out the mister menSnoor,Im
eating junk food, no minerals n vitaminsFuck 5 fruit a day, i aint eaten 5 fruit
all year,Although i drink 3 cans of cider, so i guess im pretty near,2
shots n another beer, but i still aint closer enough,Understand i ent drunk
until im throwing upI cant walk up the stairs without being outabreath I
start my coursework with only an hour leftIve learnt nothing at uni, i’m learnt
out,Ive burnt out, ive been knocked out in the third round/////////////No
motivation, no power of will,My weeks are just a fuckload of hours to kill.get a girl
by your side man it's love by your side,Nah,
Im tryna clear my head out, not do my head inAnyway ive already got a broken heartMy
360 just got the red rings.words comes outa my mouth but they don’t really make
sense, i talk in grunts, like the cave menthe
elite team of wastemen, but im bored of the silence,im about to cause some
fucking mayhem.I’ll have my headphones loud, you might see me aboutBut
my hearts in my music, my heads in the clouds,If im letting you down, im not helping
you up,Im a lost soul now, i truly don’t give a fuck.Jepardy ima keep dreaming till im dead im not
going out with any feelings of regret im essential
to the scene, id rather graft than surrender im not hard to remember, not easy to forget like these demons in my head, a neverending fight against insanity, but im not leaving til im red they say each person has a book, love or mystery this is my attempt to write my pages in history see me on the street, it’s different me You gota face it head on or you’ll get left behind, Fight the critics, until theres none left to fight, Im not wasting time, cos i might be the next to blow and equally i might be the next to die, mindset
set, the aims to build a legacy, growing
on the bones of my enemies, more hate
increases the work rate a reversal
of everything they’ve said to me im nearing
control in my life i got a chokehold
on this bitch n ima never let her breath i got an animal inside now ima set him free 20 years of built up energy a leap
of faith does not immediately mean you’re putting your future in jeopardy///////// Ive felt
the lows of life and wished the highs of death, I’ll admit that cos the truth hurts more the longer its kept, Ive been up n down, tossed around, lost n found, You have to sacrifice your mind to be the best Too much time is an extremely dangerous thing, The clock will stop one day, but now is not the time to check, I realised i got a fuckin life
to live, I got the title in my sights
n ima Fight for it, Jump in my ring
i’ll give u sumin to sing about the power
in these fingertips is frightening ive everything to gain, and nothing to prove, ive got nothing anyway so theres nothing to lose, on the bottom or the top, rags or riches obscurity or fame, surely no thought to choose when you
know inside that you can make a change this is
about your heart, not about my name my fight,
my grace, my laugh will be the face of the present you can’t erase the past but you can save the day a life with no risk, is a risk
in itself so im doin this for me,
and nobody else i got an animal
inside now ima let him go 20 years
of built up energy a leap of faith
does not immediately mean you’re putting your future in jeopardy////////// i got an
animal inside now ima set him free 20 years
of built up energy i got an animal
inside now ima let him go hold my
head up n leave the rest to grow i’m
gonna use this chance to dance combine
a hopeful future with an angry past im gona
take this day to sing cos if
your not in a race, your not gona win//// Roundabout New day, Same shit, every night, wastedNew shoes,
same walk, fake smile, shame talksWe grow up, too quick, 1
brain, but no chance to use itNo thought, just a loud
mouth, no progress, like a roundabout1 dream, no help, another
failure, oh wellInnocent children, ruthless media, no pride
for them with the perfect picture//////////1 rich, 10 poor, new clothes, that we’ve sent forPower, poverty, incurable inequality, yeh rightSame
heart, different colours, its not a competition, we’re all brotherswhat's it all for?whats the point in tryna
win a unwinnable warhuman, physical, why do we still act like these
threats are invisible The future is a thing of the past, only a fool
would believe this present’ll last//////////Hard work, no gain, but we do our best to hide the painThese daily battles, we fight, haunt us, each nightNew
friends, that you pretend to know, you may not have a house, but you’ll always have a homeThe harder you try to find the signs of life the more you fight ure mindThe harder you try to find the signs of life the more you lose ure mindHeaven, hell, where am i going, i can’t tell/////////Ive learnt to love hate and to hate loveCos
love is overated
Doctor Doctor Lights,
fade, Faces blur a new found confidence And another world to forget
Doctor doctor, ive dropped too many shots
of vodka, Now my head is spinning like a helicopter n the funny thing, i haven’t left the house yet, i could really do with winning a thousand pound bet, Call a taxi, crawl on the floor, sprawl in the backseat, Get him to pull in a backstreet, if im getting
into this club, i need a bit of luck, cos im
drunk, oi lady luck, wake me up, i dont wana go to a pub, ah im chuffed,
i got in now the sub pumps into the blood, i keep bumping
into people, i don’t mean people i know these strobe lights are
so bright im ghost white, like most nights time to
sing along to wrong song
Down a pint, rinse a quick cig to help kick it in, This girls tryna talk to me, but i aint really listening, Bla bla bla bla bla bla, Yep cya later, stagger back to the bar when i hit
more drinks, i have shit mornings, but no sacrifice
would make life a bit boring so im going hard
like theres no tomorrow, ironic, now all my
brain cells have fucked off, im on it where are you?
Why werent you picking up your phone? Bruv im
on the dancefloor, dancing on my own see i hope youve enjoyed the show, but i might have to go to bed you know before my fucking head explodes Ended
the night with a double, walked out in a bubble, got in trouble with the police, ended up on my knees, cos they said i was
tryna murder this cheeseburger, which i was, i lost 10 quid then it all started kicking off, HEY
One Man World You
can't spend your whole life being nice one day you'll have to make a sacrafice cos it's a one man world out there Success is for the people, Who live busy and sleep peaceful Failure should be applauded, in general more supported Risks will be rewarded, Plagued when
you ignore it Like
a curse when you were born, Every step a forfit You have to die by the sword, Cos if you fight like a king, Your more likely to win, Than if you dream within your thoughts And live a life lived a million times before, A million times before I believe in fate, but you gotta make fate happen Cos the world will do its best to hide your talents So when you lose your balance, you gota stand
back up ive learnt
its a good sign if youve ever had enough Advice is advice, if you wana roll the dice, roll the dice, Ive heard em say, your either ruthless or useless, When you die theres a dilemma, ure either dead or alive, alive is better,
Learn to Forget We learn to forget We hurt to protect We murder to get life We
work just to get taxed This pain
feels hourless, I’ve got so
much power yet im powerless Its taken 20 years to learn that shit And now my dreams are burning out like a candle wick I can’t handle this, It seems however hard i work i still can’t soften the blows i keep getting hit 1 step forward, 2 steps back, ive lost control lately, now my
only mission is to get it back, Countless
set backs, if you don’t know me, then don’t get involved, just stand up and get back, Never use my cover to judge my book, im screaming on the inside,
i aint as calm as i look, Happiness
comes from within but we still think
cos we’re rich we can buy things to make ourselves feel better, but remember, smiles don’t last forever, mine don’t last an hour, barely five minutes, all this stress, so much weight on my chest, it
seems my only way to relax is to write lyrics, does being quiet make you boring, im just better at listening than talking, while you read a girl, i write a song, i mighta won todays battle, but tomorrow
the war goes on but when the
tables turn, and im not feeling weak, im twice as strong, shame thats only two times a week, when the spotlights on me, i just feel caged in, i cant remember what its like to be free 1 minute im invincible, i’ll focus my energy and rinse it all, my moods unpredictable, i’ll speak for 2 hours straight, 2
hours straight then the next hour
i won’t say a thing at all, who
woulda thought doing nothing would be so physical, ive been thrown in the deep end of the lifes swimming pool. Have i grown up, that’s debatable, I still do the same shit on a Friday night, as i did before i finished school, Its just different now, ive got real-life dreams, It might be why im so tired, get what i mean Its just different now, ive got real life problems And there aint no-one else to help solve them, Its different now, people dont understand the
real me, I wish you could jump in
my body and see what i see, they question the
music, the time ive invested i
cant begin to express how it looks from my perspective, but i'll tell you the best bit, is freeing my mind, and then it’s 4 minutes of my rhymes, describing this crazy life, somethings telling me to go for this
music cos uni’s starting to
feel like a waste of time. When
you work so hard for something Course
you’d be annoyed if it amounts to nothing But the way i see it now, atleast you tried, cos money won’t keep you warm when you die, only pride.
