If I die it's written in stone
Never leave the streets, the streets my home
All day long, they've been sinking my dreams
'Cos I see 'em and I know that they can see me
In my mind it's killing me slow
And every single day it tears at my soul
All day long, am I seeing the light?
I said "I didn't want to take a life"
Wanna leave no regrets when I reach my sarcophagus
Written in stone like the words of philosophers
It's a struggle from the cradle to the coffin bruv
So I got skin as thick as a rhinoceros
I ain't trying to be a prophet, yet I speak my mind
Just wanna be the best I can be, 'til its my time
So much to live for, in a second would give my life
That's all you can ask for, in the end fate decides
London living got me double looking daily
Hoping today ain't the day the grim reaper embrace me
Soul is precious man, it's everything that makes me
But the ways of the world are constructed to drive you crazy
Get away from desire, the need is too brazen
Only trust myself, the world is too craven
Still searching, trying to find my safe haven
The life we live daily ain't nothing more than a slave ship
If I die it's written in stone
Never leave the streets, the streets my home
All day long, they've been sinking my dreams
'Cos I see 'em and I know that they can see me
In my mind it's killing me slow
And every single day it tears at my soul
All day long, am I seeing the light?
I said "I didn't want to take a life"
Written in stone, etched deep like the commandments
Dropping you false ego is the hardest
Accept that you're wonderful, and utterly charmless
Unique, yet carbon copied, who are you in the darkness?
The light or the shadow, the love or the pain
Penny sweet cheap or pricey like champagne
Hold on to your dreams, all you want to attain
And be the best, and the worst of yourself everyday
Chiseled in the stone like the words of my epitaph
Sink into you and let it stay like your favourite tat
Flying without wings, in the clouds and I'm praying that
The 'chute pulls out or I'm gonna make a splat
Treat it like my last, today isn't chosen
Final Destination, looking for the omens
It's so cold, don't let yourself get frozen
Live it to the fullest, when the end comes its over
If I die it's written in stone
Never leave the streets, the streets my home
All day long, they've been sinking my dreams
'Cos I see 'em and I know that they can see me
In my mind it's killing me slow
And every single day it tears at my soul
All day long, am I seeing the light?
I said "I didn't want to take a life"
