Record Books

You don't know me

You'll never know where I've been before

But that doesn't mean you ignore me

I'm not about what I've done in the past

Disregard the fact that I was top of the class

Cause all you can see is me on top of that ass

And I'm sorry

My condolences for what I did

But you tell me don't worry

What you've done in the past won't hold you back

Whilst you sharpening your knife for the sneak attack

Oh I worry, just trying to get my life on track

Instead of worrying about who's next

That's as bad as it gets

I was bleeding

And I've apologized for what I did

But to you I have never really bled enough

So you dump me in the red sea

and take my stuff

Oh yaint forgive me

This ain't about business

You can do this shit silently

But I see through the lies

The faulty disguise

I can see that you're mad

And if it ain't to much to ask

I've been thinking bout the past

Can we put it behind us

And not let it define us

Because were too young to die

Yet we're too old to cry

Second chances this the land of opportunity

Where we resemble the power of unity

So if we all stick together we'll come through this shit better

I promise this is the life of a working man

Your girl played the working girl

I never meant to come to this

And now its come between us

And though this feeling will never rust

Forgive me and we can live free

Or if not I'll be on the next bus

 

I'll be out of your hair

But it's not my fault that your girl never cared

 

Hold up

Come back

You don't understand

Shit gets outta hand and things happen man

Kick my ass on the street

And that shits hit the fan

I got a family man

It was 10 years ago

I was just 19 years old

And as youngin's we made the stupid choices

Embarked up the wrong trees

Got caught up in the wrong breeze

But it never got through to me

Until it finally struck me

10 years later

Sitting on the pavement

No money, no house

Whilst you sit there miserable

Thinking who really lost out

For me as I sit there

I pull out a pen

And on the last page of my diary

I label it one for the record books

But to you

It's another who's life you took
