lyrics

(Chorus x2)
(Addverse)
It's ok, there’s no way to change/
What's made has been made/
The way the game’s played, I say/
It's alright, we all want what's right/
But that’s what's called life/
So relax your brain//


(Addverse)
I spend night after night thinking my life through/
I worry ‘bout the things I wish I'd done, and things I should do/
I know it’s time spent wasted, and I get frustrated, I hate it/
Trying to figure life from a wage slip/
Which way my pay splits, I lose the will/
It's no fun if you’ve no funds for food and bills/
And I'm polluted, choked by the fumes and still/
I live in fear of those with nothing but a view to kill/
Cos I don’t want to die before I get the vibe I’ve lived/
Before I get a chance of living with a wife and kids/
A nice house by the lake with a swing outside/
We stay up late in the summer, and snuggle up in winter time/
A couple in divine loving of a simple kind/
In my mind, there’d be no other woman I could find/
But time's passing me by, and I’m not seeing clear/
And every day's a day I’m getting closer to not being here/
See it’s a fickle sphere, and life seems cheap/
I see the shadow of the sickle as I breathe deep/
So now I’m worried thinking this could be the end of course/
Somebody catch me, I'm falling, but then I thought//

(Chorus x2)
(Addverse)
It's ok, there’s no way to change/
What's made has been made/
The way the game’s played, I say/
It's alright, we all want what's right/
But that’s what's called life/
So relax your brain//

(ExP)
We're all related but I never got on with extended family/
Pretend, but actually I'm a side step from insanity/
Pessimism in my genetics, serves as a guard/
Cos if I expect the worst then I'm certain and calm/
Anything positive occurring’s a surplus and charm/
But I'm a reserved person, always swerving from harm/
If I can avoid the battles then I'll turn and disarm/
People tell me how to live converse their words to my palm/
But expecting the bad things has led to some actions/
Went and relaxed instead of reversing my qualms/
Regretting the past has no benefit I think/
But when I think back then I feel like a has-bin.../
That wasn't ever/
But what I was was young and I'd got my head up/
Cringe at the things that I made, but not the effort/
Cos every day I was awake hip-hop was present/
If no-one heard a track I made, it wasn't pressure/
Nowadays I'm suckered into the likes, views and shares/
I'd like you to care about why, who and where/
When I write tunes and bear my life's wounds and tears/
Fights, bruises, scares/
But it can't be expected of you, and partly I'm to blame/
Offloading my need to be accepted onto a page/
And at the same time rejecting everything I've come to hate/
...Avoiding everyone's opinion of me just in case// But it’s…

(Chorus x2)
(Addverse)
It's ok, there’s no way to change/
What's made has been made/
The way the game’s played, I say/
It's alright, we all want what's right/
But that’s what's called life/
So relax your brain//

(JND)
I don't mind where I'm going cos I'm here for the ride/
And the photo at the end, every moment defined/
By your actions...or the equal and opposite/
You either keep cool, peaceful or wanna flip/
But is it worth that energy spent/
Holding onto any negative when it takes a few words/
I guess, like me, you left them unsaid/
Rather hold your tongue than vent it, again because the truth hurts/
It's hard to not remember it though/
Cause you feel you've put in effort but you've still drawn the short straw/
And to carry round that memory shows/
Summat feeling unresolved weighing down any forethought/
To rectify what's happened or may do/
I know it's never easy to change route, especially when you're seeking a breakthrough/
But when you're tired of seeing the same moves/
I think it's best to leave it...//
