Survive It

[Verse 1: Ghostpoet] I'm 44 years old and life ain't Golden Like Jill Scott said When you got no cash Got no check book, got no credit card Life is pretty hard I'm sure you can see that and plus under-rated, plus bear knock-backs Been shown the door cause they talking 'bout cutbacks And you think "what next?" left or the right door Key in the door but the door won't open and heartbeat frozen Look to the heavens, but nobody's coming and the pie's in the oven So you stop mind wandering, and back to the present It's a dinner for one with the dimmer lights on And you're trying get atmosphere Like she was here, but she's long gone Like Rocky Balboa and Adrian Teardrops while you sip on the Evian [Hook: Fabiana Palladino] No no no no no no I ain't on a licence to kill like double-O I just wanna live life and survive it No no no no no no I ain't on a license to kill like double-O I just wanna live life and survive it [Verse 2: Ghostpoet] I gotta move man, but it's hard when you're glued in place; I so desperately wanna leave this pace In a steamy hot bath I just hide my face; The world looks different underwater I could've had a son or a daughter When I had the chance took a trip to Majorca Life is a funny thing with the twists and turns And in the bad times it just breaks and burns But as you get older you just live and learn You shrug your shoulders and be the bigger man But I remember, nights in December Fairy lights and torn up wrapping paper and happy times Now it's happy slaps and "how big's your gat?" and all that crap; I'm like allow that I know there's reason to part but I'll get through If I just remember that: [Hook: Fabiana Palladino] No no no no no no I ain't on a license to kill like double-O I just wanna live life and survive it No no no no no no I ain't on a license to kill like double-O I just wanna live life and survive it [Verse 3: Ghostpoet] I know Times are hard You're against the wall, and Your head is down, but I think You'll get there soon Just have a little faith mate It'll all turn out great Yeah It's all mapped out, like one of them Sat-Navs You need to get over there, then down to here Go down the road and left at the roundabout Head out the window, so much to shout about I'm naturally buzzing, allow pessimism To burn in the flames like a phoenix has risen, well I hope so That's the plan in the end: get a nice house, a few true friends A wife I can cry with, laugh and create with Kids so beautiful they're truly a blessing But I'm just guessing, just speculating Thinking out loud you know all that's what I do And I don't know much but I know what is right Don't want regrets, going to try my best But I'm only a man doing what I can And I'll go forth with these words in my hand, in my hand: [Hook: Fabiana Palladino and Ghostpoet] No no no no no no I ain't on a license to kill like double-O I just wanna live life and survive it No no no no no no I ain't on a license to kill like double-O I just wanna live life and survive it
