Ska-P Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been chasing all my dreams away
Devils on my shoulder tryna lead the way
But what I can say I'm getting colder in a greasy way
But either way I'm fully focused on this easy pay
Life is just a game just make sure that you can play
You gotta make the right it can go left
I ain't gotta go mad I gotta make some progress
No stress while I'm sitting back and I smoke sess
My mind was a mess but my life was test
No complaining in this way of life
You can do it two ways and that's wrong and right
But when the truth plays its clear just like day and night
But have no fear because the vision it's still looking bright
I'm still tryna make it out and without a doubt ill make it through this drought
Life Is like a like a roundabout and I just keep going round
Life is to short every single second count
I gotta make the family proud
While I'm chasing down these pounds
I see potential in the beat, artistic with the words wow
Big moves I need that money in a duffle bag
Keep it 100 in life fuego every night
Yeah the fires always burning
These peasants ain't concerned with
Too much money
Rich niggas on a paper route
Hustle till I came up
Yeah I had to hit the lows
Touch di roads, drop an go
Switch a flow, yeah man so so tekky with it
Watch me flip a lyric
While I sip a spirit Pass the lighter piff it
We just chilling in the room with the birds
Close your eyes feel the vision with the words
Feel the vision with the words
Cos its a vison with the verbs




And just twiss it on the curb
We used to flick it on the curbs
