Journeyman

(album: Soon I'll Be In Cali - 2012)

All I know is nothing good in this life
Comes without a fight
I'm a journeyman
I'm a journeyman baby I'm a journeyman baby
All I know is nothing good in this life
Comes without a fight
I'm a journeyman, baby the journeyman
I'm a journeyman baby I'm a journeyman baby

And my mum is a boss so it's all for her
And we never really had a lot dosh to spare
She was going it alone pair at solitaire
And my dad did his best but he wasn't there
So I told I would make and I promised her
That when I get a little money you don't got to work
But until I got a throne you can watch the chair
And I probably be gone until my posh is spent
What the heck though, I feel rich in my rags
With a spliff to forget what I wish that I had
Got a roof overhead and a chick in the sack
And the car is still bruised when it isn't a Jag
Got a minute for sadness, they only break it down
All I been doing is dancing when I make it out of here alive
I'm not a face in the crowd anymore
I'm trying to be your favourite now

All I know is nothing good in this life
Comes without a fight
I'm a journeyman
I'm a journeyman baby I'm a journeyman baby
All I know is nothing good in this life
Comes without a fight
I'm a journeyman
I'm a journeyman baby I'm a journeyman baby

And my dad is the rock so it's all for him
And every hit the he got he took it on the chin
And he turned it right around can not box him in
And if I could be half the man that he's always been
And he taught me everything that I know
So surely everything I get it I owe him
How much do I love that I tears me open
How red is the desert how wet is the ocean
And we're tying to get better in every moment
Trying to get going but it's already in motion
Can't fool me, school me, I'm already ruling
This, kingdom is mine find a line I'm falling
I'm shining I'm ready to define my fortress
And make my own luck coz I'm tired of wanting
Things, but I never can quite afford them
When the shows us the pie but don't provide a portion

All I know is nothing good in this life
Comes without a fight
I'm a journeyman
I'm a journeyman baby I'm a journeyman baby
All I know is nothing good in this life
Comes without a fight
I'm a journeyman
I'm a journeyman baby I'm a journeyman baby
