Life Songtext
von Devlin

I should′ve listened to my mother
She told me think before you speak
You better run for cover
When you hear the sound of the police
Now look at what I've started
Lord I beg your pardon, yeah
I need to leave this secret garden
They say home is where the heart is
Home is where the heart is, yeah

Yeah, life′s crazy now, I'm asking how

Many of my friends got babies now
Life ain't waiting around

For no man, it won′t slow down
It just speeds up, that′s when I freeze up
And I think of the future
Do I want daughters? Do I need sons?
In this messed up world do I need love?
Need drink? Do I need skunk?
To elevate me like fiends, fuck


Jim you think too deep cuz
Yeah I know it and I hate my brain
'Cause it never can go with the grain
This life′s an enigma straight
No peace 'til I rest in peace

I should′ve listened to my mother
She told me think before you speak
You better run for cover
When you hear the sound of the police
Now look at what I've started
Lord I beg your pardon, yeah
I need to leave this secret garden
They say home is where the heart is
Home is where the heart is, yeah

I′ve seen a lot of lights flash

Done well for a white trash
Kid that dwelt in a time lapse
Vibing to 90s rap in my night cap
Tryna bring time back
Why's that? I don't really know
But I worked on impulse, writing tracks
All about where my life′s at


I never knew I′d be a live act
Many years later
When you're breaking through they all rate ya
But when you make the cut they all hate ya
Now I′m isolated, I'm a stranger
Anywhere that I go I′m in danger
'Cause there′s always gonna be a hater
What's life about? Will I find out later?

I should've listened to my mother
She told me think before you speak
You better run for cover
When you hear the sound of the police
Now look at what I′ve started
Lord I beg your pardon, yeah
I need to leave this secret garden
They say home is where the heart is
Home is where the heart is, yeah

When the music dies and I′m obsolete
I'll spit my rhymes on a somber beat

Wave bye bye like Don McLean
Fly through time in a quantum leap

Witness life from a godly seat
Observing those that were lost like me
Explorers lost at sea
Where the sirens sing so sweet
It′s enchanting
'Til you don′t know where you are and your fate's advancing
Look around
You′re getting older now and still wasting chances
Raised in carnage (yeah)
Now I feel like Bane in darkness

But I'm still dancing
To an unknown beat with the speakers blasted

I should've listened to my mother
She told me think before you speak
You better run for cover
When you hear the sound of the police
Now look at what I′ve started
Lord I beg your pardon, yeah
I need to leave this secret garden
They say home is where the heart is
Home is where the heart is, yeah
