Life - Devlin, Harry James

I should have listened to my mother

She told me think before you speak

You better run for cover

When your head is hiding from the police

Now look at what I started

Lord I beg your pardon

I need to leave this secret garden

They say home is where the heart is

Home is where the heart is

Life’s crazy now!

I’m asking how many of my friends got babies now

Life ain’t waiting around for no man it won’t slow down it just speeds up

that’s when I freeze up

And I think of the future do I want daughters do I need sons

In this messed up world do I need love

Need drink, do I need skunk

To elevate me like fiends, fuck!

Jim you think too deep cuz

Yeah I know it and I hate my brain cos it never can go with the grain

This life’s an enigma straight

No peace 'til I rest in peace

I should have listened to my mother

She told me think before you speak

You better run for cover

When your head is hiding from the police

Now look at what I started

Lord I beg your pardon

I need to leave this secret garden

They say home is where the heart is

I’ve seen a lot of lights flash

Done well for a white trash kid that dwelled in the timelapse

Vibing to 90s rap in my night cap tryna bring time back

Whys that?

I don’t really know but I worked on impulse

Writing tracks all about where my life’s at

I never knew I’d be a live act many years later

When you’re breaking through they all rate you

But when you make the cut they all hate you

Now I’m isolated I’m a stranger

Anywhere I go I’m in danger cos there’s always gonna be a hater

What’s life about?

Will I find out later

I should have listened to my mother

She told me think before you speak

You better run for cover

When your head is hiding from the police

Now look at what I started

Lord I beg your pardon

I need to leave this secret garden

They say home is where the heart is

Home is where the heart is

When the music dies and I’m obsolete I’ll spit my rhymes on a somber beat

Wave bye-bye like Dom McClean fly through time in a quantum leap

Witness life from a godly seat observing those that were lost like me

Explorers lost at sea when the siren seems so sweet

It’s enchanting 'til you don’t know who you are and your fate’s advancing

Look around you’re getting older now and still wasting chances

Raised in carnage now I feel like Bane in darkness

But I’m still dancing to an unknown beat with the speakers blasting

I should have listened to my mother

She told me think before you speak

You better run for cover

When your head is hiding from the police

Now look at what I started

Lord I beg your pardon

I need to leave this secret garden

They say home is where the heart is

Home is where the heart is
