| [00:19.63] |
Yeah, listen, before music was a piece of my life |
| [00:23.84] |
I used to play basketball, that was me every night |
| [00:26.78] |
I wanted to play college to, yo I'd reach for the sky |
| [00:29.26] |
Until, at eighteen, I caught some disease in my eye, yeah |
| [00:32.46] |
I had to stop playing, what should I do? |
| [00:34.95] |
When ball was the only thing I wanted to do |
| [00:37.26] |
Listen, that forced me to focus on music |
| [00:40.19] |
Pez sat me down like "bro we can do this" |
| [00:43.12] |
After hearing that I didn't need more really |
| [00:45.76] |
Going half blind made me see more clearly |
| [00:48.49] |
Yo, I've learnt to take the good with the bad |
| [00:50.71] |
I'm half blind yeah but now have a look where I'm at |
| [00:53.94] |
When something seems to turn negative in life |
| [00:56.41] |
You can always go and turn it into anything you like |
| [00:59.24] |
So if it happens just remember every time |
| [01:01.40] |
Yo, a tragedy can always be a blessing in disguise |
| [01:05.16] |
When you're on your own |
| [01:10.57] |
No one's there for you |
| [01:15.93] |
When you're all the way home |
| [01:19.73] |
There'll be a miracle in a costume |
| [01:24.96] |
Yeah, uh |
| [01:26.52] |
When I was young I was attracted to the dark side |
| [01:29.31] |
I wanted everyone to see me as the hard guy |
| [01:31.97] |
Walking around with my mates trying to start fights |
| [01:34.58] |
Hoping they wouldn't want to cause I can't fight |
| [01:37.32] |
Thinking back now that shit could of ended crazy |
| [01:40.17] |
I'm just glad that situation never faced me |
| [01:42.89] |
Back then I was thinking you could never change me |
| [01:45.60] |
What a dickhead, that's not how my parents raised me |
| [01:48.43] |
See I wasn't facing the facts |
| [01:50.45] |
Acting crazy, wishing I could take it all back but |
| [01:53.45] |
It took one of my mates to get stabbed just to realize |
| [01:56.42] |
This shit wasn't a game, it was wack |
| [01:58.91] |
That's how I wrote "So Fake" so easily |
| [02:01.44] |
'Cause, apart of those dudes, I could see in me |
| [02:04.33] |
So, if somebody is wanting to fight |
| [02:06.15] |
Just swallow your pride and leave it be and that's real |
| [02:10.14] |
When you're on your own |
| [02:15.53] |
No one's there for you |
| [02:20.88] |
When you're all the way home |
| [02:24.65] |
There'll be a miracle in a costume |
| [02:31.04] |
Yeah, yeah, uh, I nearly died in an accident |
| [02:34.39] |
Yeah, and so I wrote this story |
| [02:36.67] |
It's funny though how the worst thing to happen |
| [02:40.05] |
Probably was the best thing for me |
| [02:41.99] |
Falling and Flying shouldn't take this long |
| [02:44.06] |
But thanks to the crash, yo I made this song |
| [02:46.69] |
So now I ain't afraid to see the day that I die |
| [02:49.32] |
Because, with this, I'll be staying alive (I'll be staying alive) |
| [02:52.35] |
Yeah, I believe in believing the sky's the limit |
| [02:55.58] |
Have a look and you'll see me up there, flying in it |
| [02:58.20] |
It's a nice view, sometimes you might lose |
| [03:00.93] |
But understand when you fall you can fly too |
| [03:03.52] |
Don't let anybody tell you what you can't do |
| [03:06.11] |
Don't let them enter in your head because they aren't you |
| [03:08.74] |
And understand you could have anything you want |
| [03:10.93] |
If you put the effort in to remember what you've got |
| [03:14.48] |
When you're on your own |
| [03:20.18] |
No one's there for you |
| [03:25.44] |
When you're all the way home |
| [03:29.31] |
There'll be a miracle in a costume |
