Finally
Ghetts Dogzilla & Devlin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How different is my life to another mans,
I'm just trying to earn a living in this cold, cold place.
Then escape to the summer sands,
Until my time has expired I'll be trying and
I finally found something I'll never give up,
Finally found something I can be proud of
(I finally found something I can be proud of)
Hustling, money coming in,
There ain't nothing worse than watching mummy struggling.
Suffering, and I can't tell you how easy it is
But I can tell you how tough it's been.
I know you're wondering, well first off,
I would need a warehouse to store my troubles in.
Nobodies aware of what I'm covering up
But one thing I'll erupt my bloods bubbling.
I'm stressed out, frustrated and hungry
That's enough to send a man over the edge humpty.
And if it ain't me against the world
Then I feel like I'm going against this whole country.
Nobodies on my side they wanna take my soul,
Body and my mind but I still got a problem with authority
So what should I decide?

How different is my life to another mans,
I'm just trying to earn a living in this cold, cold place.
Then escape to the summer sands,
Until my time has expired I'll be trying and
I finally found something I'll never give up,
Finally found something I can be proud of
(I finally found something I can be proud of)

First off, for too many years I've been worse off now
Every single verse is bloody worth dosh,
It's hard to always stay on track sometimes I swerve off,
Life's a lesson, in one second you could learn a lot.
Give me the chance to accelerate and I'm burning off.
Because I've been left too long to rot in the eternal fog
And I was always told to aim for the stars
Now I'm cruising through space like Scotty and the captains log.
Deep space mind, don't hate me just make yours how I make mine?
Take time to stay tight,
And when times get messy like a cage fight,
We will soon see which individual suffers stage fright.
I'll be ready on the double,
My flows flexible and supple leave you buried like a dead man in the ruble.
Fully proud how my teams emerging from the tunnel full of never ending trouble!

How different is my life to another mans,
I'm just trying to earn a living in this cold, cold place.
Then escape to the summer sands,
Until my time has expired I'll be trying and
I finally found something I'll never give up,
Finally found something I can be proud of
(I finally found something I can be proud of)

I was on the road all day or I was getting locked up.
Had find some other way to change my life up,
I was on the path but sometimes I fucked it right up.
I was either thinking I should leave or I should quit,
But something always telling me I don't know what it is,
I got something I am proud of, I'm enjoying this,
I know, I know, I know.
I would always try my best but nothing ever worked,
So someone please just tell me straight
'cause now I'm feeling worse.
Now my pockets on fire all my credits burnt.
I always paid the price and I never learned.
I was just a crazy kid, broke and I was lost,
Cause anytime I would flip and they would call the dogs,
Always scrapping, always fighting,
Show my teeth music changed my life now I'm never lost.

How different is my life to another mans,
I'm just trying to earn a living in this cold, cold place.
Then escape to the summer sands,
Until my time has expired I'll be trying and
I finally found something I'll never give up,




Finally found something I can be proud of
(I finally found something I can be proud of)

All my credit is used up, and money is running out quickly.


I always paid the price and I never learned.
I've consistently taken on challenges and faced consequences, but never seem to learn from them.


I was just a crazy kid, broke and I was lost,
I was young and restless, with barely any money, and didn't have any sense of direction.


Cause anytime I would flip and they would call the dogs,
Whenever I got into trouble and flipped out, the authorities would come after me.


Always scrapping, always fighting,
Consistently getting in fights and causing trouble.


Show my teeth music changed my life now I'm never lost.
I use music to express myself, changed my life, and helped me find my way, and I'm now on the right track.
