HEADSTRONG
Capdown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But it made no difference to the life that I led
The route that I took may mean that I learnt hard
But you only get one chance to make things play the way you're dreamin' of
I didn't know then but then what the fuck is life for
I still regret it, but now I strong than before
And this strength will open up new doors
See things I never saw before
I have faith in myself and belief in this message
No I never claim I'm the blessed
I have belief in my strengths and respect for my weakness
Cause he who can learn to respect and seek to understand
Can overcome or learn to play another hand
Yes he who can learn to respect and seek to understand
Can look back and say
Now I'm stronger than before
My strength will open up new doors
See things I never saw before
I stand now focused again
It takes time to reach a peace within
I stand now focused again
It takes time to reach your peace within
You see to try but you never ask the question why
Too concerned with your need for an alibi
It's only try 'cause you never find your reason why
Too concerned with your alibi
