Elysium

[Chorus] You don’t know me, living my life My life is all a dream Riding in my boat I’m just tryna stay afloat ‘cos you know It ain’t all it seems There must be something else Tryna find, tryna survive I ride as well Can never hide Feel inside that I found myself: the greatest wealth Oh well, guess it doesn’t matter any way [Verse] Settle down, gather round Let me tell a tall tale to the crowd, everybody up front best hear me now From the city of, broken bottles and broken hopes Our generation is faced with no control, how that go? Where the kids roam, dolo Play by their own rules Got grown dudes roll through, next goal is alcohol Settle down the pub neckin’ down a bottle of ‘bub Hittin’ the club, getting rub from some new found love ASBO’s are gone, don’t get it wrong; we stay troublesome Running with the street thugs, we only got love for them Never followed politics I figured it’s all a fix Like, what the fucks the president caring ‘bout all of this? I’m struggling; my mother’s sick; sis got two kids Which I gotta babysit following this night shift Feeling worthless; inert and more-or-less nervous Nothing’s perfect but gotta work with it, and shit Lottery’s a mockery knowing I deserve it But these ticks ain’t bringing me nothing when scratching it Figured if I let go I’ll feel like I’m in control ‘cos I know that my soul don’t belong to me no ’mo, so Before you judging making me feel ugly I hope you see life never really been easy on me Playing fields ain’t levelled evenly Evil is decency So I gotta let’em know ‘fo I’m six-feet, deep [Chorus] You don’t know me, living my life My life is all a dream Riding in my boat I’m just tryna stay afloat ‘cos you know It ain’t all it seems There must be something else Tryna find, tryna survive I ride as well Can never hide Feel inside that I found myself: the greatest wealth Oh well, guess it doesn’t matter any way
