Ceremony

Lyrics

Never given up, die trying Taken shots fallen victim to the fire fight From innocent child to prisoner of the night time Caught up in a game and addicted to the lifestyle And I could say I'd do it differently with hindsight Signed a contract, stayed in it for the right price Or roll with the punches, hit em with a side-swipe ??case or I'll middle finger to the skyline?? Live fast, we were born to die young Walking tight ropes for the applause and triumph Don't look down, I gotta force my eyes shut They all cheer, whether I fall or I jump Sitting in a bathroom stall in a night club Dream a little dream, while I'm snorting lines up We came down with distorted minds but I never lost faith I'm a staunch survivor We ride on till the end of the road Drifting through the storm but forever afloat I've seen mates turn their backs and my enemies grow But got my fam by my side, means I'm never alone The evidence, I set it in stone I burnt bridges in the past, stay ahead of the smoke We were lost in the world couldn't steady the boat It's been a long way around, but it's getting me home Take another deep breath and try and get in the zone Counting what's passed and paid penance for those When my outlook turned to a pessimist joe's A medicinal mind state soon to remedy slow So I walk the land broke, in an effort to show A changed man, take a stand, my endeavour to grow And yeah they, turn coats as the revenue rose But won't forget where I'm from wherever I roam It's like I won't let anything stop me All the forks in the road And all the friends that it lost me Heads of State, UTN, I apprenticed it properly Came a long way from dreaming on a terrace at Rosny It took a minute for that shine to kick her Stumbled, stood lost, tryna find the grip Now I'm all up in their face with that shine I get Have a geez at me now, how you like me. shit
