Am I going right? Am I going wrong? Im singing the songs, but this shit is long Shouldve made it by now, the money is tight, the debts overflow, To be me and what I do costs more than you ever will know, I thought I paid up in full when I was a child, But I guess that was just the interest on the capital pile Could boast achievements Ive gained all by myself But front covers on shelves dont create me much wealth If Im good and Im great or so they say about me But if so how come Im two cheques away from the street I put to this beat my struggle to keep Being the artist you need and the person I always wanted to be [CHORUS] Take a step back this is all about perspective Its not what life throws at you but how you deflect it You already know success Understand how youve been blessed Keep keepin on, just keep on keepin on [VERSE TWO] In my younger days, my parents blazed In a drinking haze and at a cheating pace Its amazing I learnt any good at all During this phase Then came the hassle at school for not being cool, And not being straight or great at football And all the time I thought itll be fine, Ill just be patient And all that Im facing will fall into place and Ill win the race But then life wiped the smile from my face and had me fighting, Found myself in the middle of a Quarter Life Crisis, My mother was ill; I cant pay the bills, My profile was up, yet Im down on my luck But not enough to give up, Ive got so far and I refuse to be a failure, but sometimes it feels like life is just playing ya I refuse to be a failure, but sometimes it feels like God is just playing ya [CHORUS x 2] [MIDDLE EIGHT x 2] It goes round and round and up and down The rollercoaster ride of lows and highs That we call life [VERSE THREE] Ive made mistakes in life, Ive stepped from the light, Ive veered from the right, But Im here right now, trying to be good, thoughtful and kind, considerate and brightly My aura shines in the dark from the tips of my kicks to my hood Drugs & rent Ive tried, sometimes Ive lied, but this I find, my soul needs only the truth, I pray for the youth, to see our mistakes, So they can be great, and their future fate improves with each generation so its all good Dont be easily swayed to fall victim or prey or play up to those who try to manipulate Whether its porn, sex, drink or drugs, remember its love that you really want, that you really need, So if you ignore the consequences - please dont test it, If you dont wanna learn a lesson - dont question, Trust in your soul, be brave and be bold, Let the wonder of your true self begin to unfold ...and behold [CHORUS X 2] [MIDDLE EIGHT] © QBoyMusic 2010
