Kwam - Believe lyrics

[Verse 1] Tomorrow ain't promised Why wait for a next day to be on it? Jump on your grind in whatever it may be You don't wanna waste any time saying maybe Tomorrow ain't given Why wait for a next day to be driven? You know you're too good to be hidden So stop k**ing hours, you aren't in a prison Tomorrow ain't granted So don't look past it You can use today to work out what the task is It'll help when you're grafting You're gonna meet doubting Toms on the way Smile when they're laughing It's all part of the path that you're crafting Hear what a next man said when they asked him, he told them [Chorus] I ain't gonna be another hard luck story You can't ignore me And I could ask for a chance but I'd rather take it I won't rep myself poorly I ain't gonna be another should have been someone It's about more than a lump sum I wanna play a part in the present and future And not get lost in the humdrum [Verse 2] And I didn't think of that chorus first There's others who are far better versed They'll tell you without work you'll be cursed With a mediocrity you'll take to your hearse Carried off without a mark on the earth I'm not sure what could be worse, like Ain't we all got a worth? Living a life just to die when you're dead seems kinda perverse I ain't gonna be a man who didn't quite get there That's why you won't see me rest here And yeah it's true that I've slowed to a walk Truth is, that's only so we can talk If my counterparts are the reds in the pack Then I must be the brown in the baulk Since I was young I've had that same thought Lemme just say what I'm saying in short [Chorus] I ain't gonna be another hard luck story You can't ignore me And I could ask for a chance but I'd rather take it I won't rep myself poorly I ain't gonna be another should have been someone It's about more than a lump sum I wanna play a part in the present and future And not get lost in the humdrum [Verse 3] If you're gonna be another hard luck story You can go ahead and ignore me After all, what do I know surely? This could all be one big porkie I could be trying to mislead you I could well be doing a misdeed On the other hand I could be giving out Good solid advice, so take it, it's free Come again, what's that? You're gonna be a didn't quite get there? No sweat, grab a deckchair I'll walk on in the rain and the cold And come out of the other side shaking my wet hair Now I've got no doubt I can rep here I was in darkness, never saw d**h there I got my best years coming up, how do I know that? To the same statement I go back [Chorus] I ain't gonna be another hard luck story You can't ignore me And I could ask for a chance but I'd rather take it I won't rep myself poorly I ain't gonna be another should have been someone It's about more than a lump sum I wanna play a part in the present and future And not get lost in the humdrum [Verse 4] Hail the creators of hard luck stories f** the Tories In the same breath, let me say f** Labour The lies they sold a nation were brazen In sixth form they came and sold us a wheeze At that time they'd already cheapened degrees Now they wanna bill the cost to kids who are teens? It's all obscene I hear what they're saying, they must cut deep But a scratch to the well off would make poor bleed Man are making calls on things they've not seen I may as well give hair tips to the Queen Is that not dumb? These times brown nose George ain't been to the slums Yet he's allowed to call the residents scum? f** that, I'm a start bursting my lungs yelling out [Chorus] I ain't gonna be another hard luck story You can't ignore me And I could ask for a chance but I'd rather take it I won't rep myself poorly I ain't gonna be another should have been someone It's about more than a lump sum I wanna play a part in the present and future And not get lost in the humdrum
