Lyrics
[Verse]
As I get older, I realise the gravity of choices and decisions,
A certain step down different roads can differ those who living,
From those who isn’t, to those still rotting down in prison,
That still have kept their life but ain't no spirit,
I’ve seen children turn to drugs to make up for a lack of love,
I’ve seen warriors and thugs be tucking blades and loading slugs,
I been plotting on my future settled down from dawn to dusk,
Only to see those just like me change their path and now they fucked,
I had a bro that could flow with an aspiration to spit,
He kept creating in his basement, kept on praying they’d hit,
Some sorta wave in the main but lack of patience,
Meant he’d drop all dedication, to distribute medication to jits,
He started playing with clips, a hood sensation,
Feeling like drug fuelled attention from addicts was admiration,
But what he didn’t know was he was just a new location for lifts,
To orphaned youtes from broken homes stuck in rotation adrift,
But even if he did, he wouldn’t care,
As long as money coming in, he’d do it well aware,
Of repercussions from police or from the reaper coming,
When the sticks hit like beat percussions,
He’d puff on his reefer and feel like nothing,
Just a vessel floating on a rock,
Far adrift from that potential with the pencil when he’d jot,
Line after line, now he cuts line after line,
For a rush that would buzz as long as videos on vine,
One day, he was chilling at his yard at ten to nine,
Heard a siren, then another, he could recognise the sign,
House raided, lost his gear, and caught a sentence half his life,
Now he’s wishing that he could go back in time,
One life
[Outro]
You only get one life in this
You only get one life in this
You only get one..
You only get one life in this world, watch it twirl, watch it twirl,
Around, here it goes, here it goes,
Anyway the wind blows, one life on this world, watch it twirl, watch it..
Uh...
