Ant - Follow the Art Lyrics

Cheers, to the days I was lost in my ways
Sitting in the cold, a frosty gaze
The mental maze, using praise to break the mold
I'm confident and bold
The one that she loves to hold
A fire on the nights, when she is cold

I've been the man, teaching the clan
Cause I never ran
Hot like a pan, with the flow of a fan
Words of the wind, I guess I sinned
Don't pretend to be my friend
I'll ride to the end
Like the lines I've penned
Writings on the wall
She's seen em all
Standing tall, I survived the fall

I'm an ace in every place
Like I need some space
Move with grace, set the pace
Won the race, I'm the first 48
That's a cold case, like a box in the freezer
I am not a people please, this is just a teaser
Scenes flashing fast, may cause a seizure
Forgive and forget, like I have amnesia
Chopped like a Caesar
Pull the knife from my back
But, I'll never stab em back

Like, what is payback, I don't play that
This is not a rat trap, you can have that
All about my hot cakes, like a flapjack
All I do is count stacks
Playing the game if you know what I mean

Life is dream, I'm just standing in the steam
Carrying the team with a stream of intelligence
I'm one with the elements
With a beam on developments
You cannot compare mice to elephants

I learned the greatest lessons, feeling low
The pain lessens
As I come to understand what I know
Rough waters taught me,
When to rest and when to row
When to come and when to go
How to lead and how to follow
I used to wallow in my sorrow
That's a hard pill to swallow
Making peace with the past
The pain couldn't last
Faced my demons, walking fast

Follow the art
Writing the scenes, and playing the part, huh
I will never fall apart
When the pages turn, they burn
Setting fire to the strings that tie us to things
