Comeback Story

(album: Anti-Hero - 2017)

[Slaine:]
I saw the writing on the wall and the message said
I been counted out, slept on and left for dead
My name smeared through the mud
God knows that I tried through the years
All the tears and the blood
The sweat that I put into this game, it was work
It was pain, it was love, it was hate, it was rain
How you were gone what I became and maintain
I see so many die in the same vain
When you young you keep the prize in your eyes
But looking back you can see the rise in demise
The mistakes and misteps the rebirth and regrets
The truth hurts and what ifs the beserks so we just
Keep the fire burning and the tires turning
Move forward with the lesson reaching higher learning
Dreams come through but not for sleepers
I gotta stay focused, work harder, dig deeper
There's still time

[Slaine (Busta Rhymes):]
Everybody loves a comeback story
Everybody loves a comeback
Everybody loves a comeback story
(As I come back)
Everybody loves a comeback story
Everybody loves a comeback
Everybody loves a comeback story
(As I comeback)

[Termanology:]
They cancel me out but I would never die
I'm Vinny Paz in the red car with a head scar
Coming back to be the champion of the world
I mean I'm just a man and respect 'cause I'm really thorough
'Cause good guys finish last and I'm in the back
But since I'm good at math I been getting cash
Full tank of gas, racing on the speedway
5 o'clock on Sports Center, I'm on the replay
Lifting weights tryna get in shape
Even though I did it late, I'm back
Had to make sure the kids was straight
Tryna articulate lyrics or digits
You need a spiritual witness
And you can feel it [?]
My spirit is risen outta this fog
Clear as a vision, here is the mission
And now it ain't no fairer let's get it
Now watch the famous rapper standing over there with the riches
But they barely could spit it so I'll be there in a minute

[Slaine (Busta Rhymes):]
'Cause everybody loves a comeback story
Everybody loves a comeback
Everybody loves a comeback story
(As I come back)
Everybody loves a comeback story
Everybody loves a comeback
Everybody loves a comeback story
(As I comeback)

[Slaine & Termanology:]
You know the night is darkest before dawn
Everyday another battle and the war's on
Yeah I know the fight's long and I'm told that the odds against me
But the naysayers, they have not convinced me yet
I got a new group of haters that I'm pissing off
It's in my jeans, maybe I'm cut from a different cloth
You cross your heart, maybe wish to die
I'm more towards the future with bigger fish to fry
I'm Tom Brady in the fourth quarter
Even through all the crooked lawyers and the court orders
I'm in the Source's, Father's Day with my little daughter
No I ain't getting caught up, I'm selling lot of water
I'm Ali in the Rumble in the Jungle
They counting me out, I'm slept on because I am humble
And yeah I was stumbling but now my fist pumping and I'm back bubbling
That's a rub-a-dib-a-dum just having fun with this

[Slaine (Busta Rhymes):]
'Cause everybody loves a comeback story
Everybody loves a comeback
Everybody loves a comeback story
(As I come back)
Everybody loves a comeback story
Everybody loves a comeback
Everybody loves a comeback story
(As I comeback)
