Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Out in the dark he found a road
To quietly walk alone
Harder the days he learned to know
The calm comes after the storm
[Verse 2]
Sit back and watch the rain
Breathe out before tomorrow
Slow down before you break
And you're cast aside
[Verse 3]
Meet me at the back of the bus
Beep beep with my hat and my gloves
See me, I'm erratic on drugs
Do stuff I regret, feel embarrassed tomorrow
Wagwan what ya under?
Far side of the yonder
Far cry from a younger
Hard times made me stronger
And these drinks makes me drunker, drugs made me fonder
Selling drugs gets you richer, that's a royal flush on the river
Go HMP for a winter
I grew up 'round toxic
And people can't sea 'cause live in a pond with some dumb fish
I was with sharks outside the park
When it's dark, lighters spark, nobody wanna try it with us
Pop out like a jack-in-the-box
Saying "This what you wanted?"
[Verse 4]
Same ones that will praise you up
Be the same ones to say you're done
It's all love
Non-stop, you get cropped like bud
'Cause no one wanna see you blossom on top
From the bottom, yeah, I climbed a lot
And people tryna break my thumbs
What's good?
Be the barber, gotta line it up
When push comes to shove
You gotta push
[Verse 5]
System lagging, think we need a reboot
Feeling stranded, got me feeling feeble
You're never there when I really need you
Always land on my feet like a cat out a tree
Watch it crumble to sand while I'm gritting my teeth
Shit flies with the magpies
He drowned, got baptised
Oh well, I guess that's life
So now I gotta pass time
So quiet, hear a penny drop
Riot in my head and it's loud as fuck
Fuck the people tried doubting us
I fall on my knees with my hands to God
Bite the hand that feeds you
If I said I loved you I would never leave you
If I said I loved you it's because I need you
Call you pancake like I need my treacle
[Verse 6]
Same ones that will praise you up
Be the same ones to say you're done
It's all love
Non-stop, you get cropped like bud
'Cause no one wanna see you blossom on top
From the bottom, yeah, I climbed a lot
And people tryna break my thumbs
What's good?
Be the barber, gotta line it up
When push comes to shove
You gotta push
[Verse 7]
Sit back and watch the rain
Breathe out before tomorrow
Slow down before you break
And you're cast aside
