| I used to play basketball, that was me every night
|
| I wanted to play college to, yo I’d reach for the sky
|
| Until 18 I caught some disease in my eye, yeah
|
| I had to stop playing, what should I do?
|
| When ball was the only thing I wanted to do
|
| Listen, that forced me to focus on music
|
| Pez sat me down like «bro we can do this»
|
| After hearing that I didn’t need more really
|
| Going half blind made me see more clearly
|
| Yo I’ve learnt to take the good with the bad
|
| I’m half blind yeah but now have a look where I’m at
|
| When something seems to turn negative in life
|
| You can always go and turn it into anything you like
|
| So if it happens just remember every time
|
| Yo a tragedy can always be a blessing in disguise
|
| When you’re on your own, no one’s there for you
|
| When you’re all the way home, there’ll be a miracle in a costume
|
| Yeah uh
|
| When I was young I was attracted to the darkside
|
| I wanted everyone to see me as the hard guy
|
| Walking around with my mates trying to start fights
|
| Hoping they wouldn’t want to cause I can’t fight
|
| Thinking back now that shit could of ended crazy
|
| I’m just glad that situation never faced me
|
| Back then I was thinking you could never change me
|
| What a dickhead, that’s not how my parents raised me
|
| See I wasn’t facing the facts,
|
| Acting crazy, wishing I could take it all back but
|
| It took one of my mates to get stabbed just to realize
|
| This shit wasn’t a game, it was wack
|
| That’s how I wrote so fake so easily
|
| Cause apart of those dudes I could see in me
|
| So if somebody is wanting to fight just swallow your pride and leave it be
|
| And that’s real
|
| When you’re on your own, no one’s there for you
|
| When you’re all the way home, there’ll be a miracle in a costume
|
| Yeah, yeah, uhh
|
| I nearly died in an accident, yeah, and so I wrote this story
|
| It’s funny though how the worst thing to happen,
|
| Probably was the best thing for me
|
| Falling and flying shouldn’t take this long
|
| But thanks to the crash yo I made this song
|
| So now I ain’t afraid to see the day that I die
|
| Because with this I’ll be staying alive (I'll be staying alive)
|
| Yeah, I believe in believing the sky’s the limit
|
| Have a look and you’ll see me up there flying in it
|
| It’s a nice view, sometimes you might lose,
|
| But understand when you fall you can fly too
|
| Don’t let anybody tell you what you can’t do
|
| Don’t let them enter in your head because there aren’t you
|
| And understand you could have anything you want,
|
| If you put the effort in to remember what you’ve got
|
| When you’re on your own, no one’s there for you
|
| When you’re all the way home, there’ll be a miracle in a costume |
