Now put your hands up
Yea we made it to the end
Congratulations you all
But you know what time it is
As soon as we finish with this one
We going to do it all again
Can't stop won't stop that's the mantra
Born loser probably never gonna win gotta alotta friends
Cuz there's more of us then there are of them
Never came in second or even third but I got alot of blessings
That I don't really deserve (Thats my word)
I pour a lil liquor out on the curb cuz I'm too faded
And I'm afraid that I'll swerve
On my way to the place I call home
Remember sleeping in the park when
Sprinklers turned on (On one)
Geeking not even speaking to my mom
I've been gone for so long
Like the lost tribes (Shabbat shalom)
Greetings from the other side of
The war in my head I want peace
But my hearts on a level four
Once I get out we going on tour
Once I get out we going on tour
Once I get out we going on tour
So many wasted days and so many wasted nights
Keep on hustling everything's gonna be alright
So many wasted days and so many wasted nights
Keep on hustling everything's gonna be alright
So many wasted days and so many wasted nights
Keep on hustling everything's gonna be alright
In Terry A. Davis's song "Born," the lyrics convey a sense of triumph and resilience despite past struggles and setbacks. The opening lines celebrate reaching the end but promptly emphasize the mentality of not stopping and continuously pushing forward. The phrase "Can't stop won't stop" serves as a mantra, reflecting the determination to persevere.

Acknowledging that they may not have achieved conventional success in terms of winning competitions or coming in second or third place, the singer recognizes the abundance of blessings they have received, even if they feel undeserving of them. The line about pouring out liquor on the curb and being faded reflects a sense of vulnerability and possibly escaping the realities of life. There is a mention of a difficult past, sleeping in the park when the sprinklers turned on, potentially indicating homelessness or challenging living conditions. The reference to not speaking with their mom suggests a strained relationship.
The line "Greetings from the other side of the war in my head" captures the internal struggles and turmoil the singer has faced. They yearn for peace but acknowledge that their heart is still on a level four, indicating that they have not reached complete tranquility yet. However, they express hope for a brighter future by affirming their plans for going on tour once they are out, suggesting a break from their current situation.
Overall, "Born" by Terry A. Davis expresses the themes of perseverance, resilience, and the ability to overcome past hardships despite feeling like an outsider and facing internal battles.

As a computer science uni student I'm proud to say that I admire Terry A. Davis. I'm sorry that society failed him. A misunderstood genius, but a bright soul. I wish I was with him, drinking hot coffee on a rainy afternoon, talking about life and coding with our computers.

rainy afternoon, coffee, nothing but a CRT monitor and CIA n*****s illuminating the room.

Even though I never knew him personally, I still find myself thinking about Terry regularly even a year later. I don't think I'll ever forget him.
RIP King Terry, I hope you're having a great time working with Heaven's dev team.
