Too Far Gone

(Album: The Outcast - 2019)

I'll practised
Took a risk like Rooney and rolled round dagger with a dog
There ain't no glamour in the manor where the man are getting shot
And shit gets deeper because, someone got wrapped and stabbed for a box
I feel the tension pass me a benson
Give me five like MI I'm lost, and I don't wanna try and be something that I'm not
Knew that I'd fit in if I played the game
But fitting in's lame and that's not what I want
All I ever wanted was the O.T crew to be that damn huge that we'd all be gods
Dreams of a youngster
Deflated and punctured now it's just me in this spot
Lonely soul
I walk this road alone
Still marching deep in the fog

I gave and I took
I played by the book
I've fell and I've stood
And now I'm too far gone to come back

Think it was easy
Trying to do something positive here when everyone's sleazy
Back handed greedy
I gave what I could for the cause so bleed me
Some more there's nothing left
No Jim no James no fucking Devs,
Just a machine programmed to be the mc that you know from the Dagenham ends
It's auto pilot, when I make assaults on pirates I ain't got thoughts in my head
Think too much then I might lose touch with the brain cell left then fall to a depth
So low, the sun don't glow, the sky don't snow on a spiders web
All I know is when I'm here alone I'm in a zone that's free from an actual tense

I gave and I took
I played by the book
I've fell and I've stood
And now I'm too far gone to come back

It's game on now
When I reign on now
There ain't no way no how
That the boy that made the manor proud could fade or drown
I ain't ever falling down
Been there didn't think I'd ever get back
Now it's on top tell a mummy it's a wrap
Focused trying to put money in the bank
Making other artists curry in their pants
It's all bants, what more do you want from me
A constant stream of meaningful messages
Idols and effigies die and they bleed,
It's all bants, what more do you want from me a constant stream of meaningful messages
Idols and effigies die and they bleed

I gave and I took
I played by the book
I've fell and I've stood
And now I'm too far gone to come back
