Lyrics 21 Grams - Thundamentals, Queensland Symphony Orchestra

21 Grams

Did you ever believe, yeah
This life owes you more than you have?
Try take it from me, no-oh
Got nothing to lose but 21 grams, uh-huh
Just let it all go (Oh-ho), don’t fuck with your man (Ah-ha)
When the weight of a soul (Yeah-hair) just 21 grams (Ah-hoo)
Just let it all go (Oh-ho), send love to your fam (Ah-ha)
When the weight of a soul (Yeah-hair) just 21 grams
It ain’t but 21 grams, ain’t but 21 grams
Just 21 grams
Cheah
One life here to foster, no time here to squander
Grew wiser and stronger, yet still tryna conjure a little ray of sunshine in a
Quagmire
For the prize on offer, we divide and we conquer
If I fight any longer I’ma start looking like all my rivals and in time will
give rise to a monster
Gotta be more to life than sort of like every morning rise and shine
I wanna see all the lights on tour life then immortalised in time
What’s the weight of a human soul?
Does it change if bruised or old?
Famine or fame, man, it’s all the same, that’s what you stand to gain vs.
lose it all
All that glitters ain’t gold, what’s royal is loyalty shown to your fam
What’s the weight of your soul?
They say it nuttin' but 21 grams
Slow dance with the devil, he asked for my signature written in blood
I won’t bow to that level, know I can do better in death, hope my spirits
arisen above
But, yo, will I be judged on the good and the bad that I’ve done in my life?
When I’m writing these songs, I’m righting my wrongs, that’s how it feels with
each word I recite
Like I’m earning the right to be making amends, apologies given to all of my
friends
If ever I dissed you know that I didn’t mean to offend
Did you ever believe, yeah
This life owes you more than you have?
Try take it from me, no-oh
Got nothing to lose but 21 grams, uh-huh
Just let it all go (Oh-ho), don’t fuck with your man (Ah-ha)
When the weight of a soul (Yeah-hair) just 21 grams (Ah-hoo)
Just let it all go (Oh-ho), send love to your fam (Ah-ha)
When the weight of a soul (Yeah-hair) just 21 grams
It ain’t but 21 grams, ain’t but 21 grams
Just 21 grams
And I
Can’t help but feel a little blessed like yes, I’ma do it better than the best
I can
I’ma get it in with whatever I have like damn by chance
Do you wanna take my hand?
Do you wanna dance in the middle of the street like
me?
Side step it to the left of the centre ‘cause I’ve never been a fan of that
right wing bullshit and negativity
Check it, I don’t mean to preach, this is not an anthem, Tuka’s on a rant let
me pen a bit of peace, fuck a hand gun
If your head’s buried in the sand then understand I’m just tryna get a bit of
free in me
Get a bit of free in me, dive deep, sightseeing the earth on cloud nine
Dreaming free as a bird, try to focus when the scenery blurs
Bringing life into this world’s like bringing a grain of sand to the beach, but
Thing is that this little girl’s like ten point five grams of you and me, love
Everythin' from our past is passed on, it survived, it’s alive in our daughter
You ever think there’s a link when we pass on?
She might have passed on five
and a quarter
Immortalised, I thought that I had everything I wanted
It all was lies, there’s more to life, couldn’t put my finger on it
My daughter’s eyes, I see my parents, see your parents too
Apparent when you stare into her eyes and she got a pair like you
Did you ever believe, yeah
This life owes you more than you have?
Try take it from me, no-oh
Got nothing to lose but 21 grams, uh-huh
Just let it all go (Oh-ho), don’t fuck with your man (Ah-ha)
When the weight of a soul (Yeah-hair) just 21 grams (Ah-hoo)
Just let it all go (Oh-ho), send love to your fam (Ah-ha)
When the weight of a soul (Yeah-hair) just 21 grams
It ain’t but 21 grams, ain’t but 21 grams
Just 21 grams
Just 21 grams
Did you ever believe, yeah
This life owes you more than you have?
Try take it from me, no-oh
Got nothing to lose but 21 grams
