Rax - A Poet's Ballad lyrics
[Intro] This ones a poets ballad From the darkest depths of a decrepit alleyway Aka, A hood near you [Verse 1] Good morning I'm welcoming you In a day of my life, let me walk you in my shoes Well my hood is Kind of like the average institution Of misconstrued students dropping out without a fight Nothing similar to archangels dropping out the sky But I'm secluded feeling like that I'm a an angel in disguise Coz I was different Somehow I pa**ed the test without revision Saw flying colours, made the sky northern light like some type of wizard Speaking metaphorically but they don't get it They're thinking bout the moment, Yoloing I tell them peace I'm thinking bout the bigger picture how my family eats They ponder upon beats while I search for a release of stress Mind is a mess Meanwhile they're getting deets Celebrating little p's Buying Gucci for the rave Popping champagne, yet regurgitate on toilet seats So they're living for that moment but that moments never cheap So if you fit the characteristics of the person I speak of, don't be shy speak up The plots about to get deep Now read on Walk with me One crowded night with some Chinese and my co-d Well I thought he was Then the beef kicked off I never realised it had kicked off Next thing I know I was getting beat on And my ex co-d had fled leaving me against 3 But I'm not angry it was a lesson bout friends and the street I learnt it [Hook] Stories everybody has em I'm just bring you mine through a poet's ballad Stories everybody has em I'm just bring you mine through a poet's ballad Stories everybody has em I'm just bring you mine through a poet's ballad I hope your listening; really hope you're listening I hope your listening; really hope you're listening [Verse 2] Let me introduce to my friend Timmy Timmy was a good guy he use to make pinkie's Lots of them, doing bad things for a living Quick money thick women yeah the hustle was addictive Had a pure heart but his brain was conflicting, decisions Making him in two minds of existence Love over money or money over everything I guess he chose the second and now he lost everything That's a shame coz he had everything nice Money, friends, respect the wife And then oh no Seems like his heart just turned so cold But we never lost him his numb heart had a slow pulse Revive him, everybody's trying The electrocardiography gave us all false hope Must be the d** is he smoking what he sold I don't know I was never there nor was I involved Now lets roll As a fly on the wall where he was enclosed With a close friends woman but when I say close I mean inverted commas I quote Let the story be told His ambitions was detaching her clothes But little did he know that his close friend woke and walked in the room and Watched it unfold and In that moment everything had changed And everybody knew it could never be the same nahhhh… [Hook]
