Lyrics

[Chorus] Said, I don't ever pray Let the chips fall where they may I'm fallin' down And I don't ever beg Never shed a tear for myself You must stay proud [Verse 1] Uh, uh, drivin' down Parramatta Road Smoke leakin' out the window, thinkin' bout The life that I chose, pride won't let me Fall down, but I can't stand up, some days I just don't know, a good Samaritan Battlin' with his demons, or a lost sinner Makin' deals with the Deakin, you will get the chills When he's speakin' the truth, it spills out his mouth Like the rum's forty proof, uh Young blood, what it do? Give the world a reason To take a chance on you, never let 'em tell ya the story Tell 'em it's through, 'cause this an urban legend But no-one's lyin' to you, the pen's in ya hand Son, we write our legacy in time I scribble peace for my grandsons But never wish upon a star, hold on to your pride And you're gonna go far [Chorus] Said, I don't ever pray Let the chips fall where they may I'm fallin' down And I don't ever beg Never shed a tear for myself You must stay proud [Verse 2] Uh, we all survivors Of the darkest instincts inside us, the type that my homeboy Is tryna drown with ciders, the ambitions of a writer When the Centrelink stops And your pops gets cancer, life'll sideswipe ya Ain't no fair, 'cept on the Train and the bus, guess I'm gonna walk home Make my own luck, swallow my pride Spit it straight from the gut, perception is reality Reflections in the mirror, do you see a god? Or a queen? Or a quitter? Or a king livin' dream? You can choose, you can be all the things you envision If you dare to believe That's why I MC, 'cause words spread a knowledge That'll set you free, and I gotta get these damn shackles Off of me, too much pride in the heart Of the prophecy [Chorus] Said, I don't ever pray Let the chips fall where they may I'm fallin' down And I don't ever beg Never shed a tear for myself You must stay proud
