Too Far Gone - Devlin

I practised, took a risk like Rooney

And rode ‘round Dagga with a dog

There ain’t no glamour in the manor

When the manor gettin' shot

Shit gets deep and because

Someone got stabbed and wrapped for a box

I feel the tension, pass me a Benson

Gimme five like MI I’m lost

I don’t wanna try and be something that I’m not

Knew that I’d fit in if I played the game

Fitting in is lame and it’s not what I want

All I ever wanted was the OT crew

To be that damn huge, that we’d all be gods

Dreams of a youngster

Inflated and punctured

Now its just me in the spot

Lonely soul I walk this road alone

Still marching deep in the fog

I gave, and they took

I played, by the book

I fell, and I’ve stood

And now I’m too far gone to come back

I gave, and they took

I played, by the book

I fell, and I’ve stood

And now I’m too far gone to come back

Think it was easy?

Trying to do something positive here

When everyone’s greedy

Backhanded, sleazy

I gave what I could but the calls still bleed me

So what if there’s nothin' left

No Jim, no James, no fuckin' Devz

Just a machine programmed to be the MC

That you know from the Dagenham ends

It’s autopilot, when I make assaults on pirates

I ain’t got thoughts in my head

Think too much, then I might lose touch

With the brain cell left and fall to a depth

So low, the Sun don’t glow

The sky don’t snow in a spider’s web

All I know is when I’m here alone

I’m in a zone that’s free from an actual tense

I gave, and they took

I played, by the book

I fell, and I’ve stood

And now I’m too far gone to come back

I gave, and they took

I played, by the book

I fell, and I’ve stood

And now I’m too far gone to come back

It’s game on now, when I reign on now

There ain’t no way no how

That a boy that made the manor proud

Could fade or drown, I ain’t ever fallin' down

Been there didn’t think I’d ever get back

Now its on top, tell her mummy its a wrap

Focus, tryna put money in the bank

Make another artist curry in their pants

It’s all bants, what more do you want from me?

A constant stream of meaningful messages

Idles and effigies, die and they bleed (Die and they bleed)

What more do you want from me?

A constant stream of meaningful messages

Idles and effigies, die and they bleed (Die and they bleed)

I gave, and they took

I played, by the book

I fell, and I’ve stood

And now I’m too far gone to come back

I gave, and they took

I played, by the book

I fell, and I’ve stood

And now I’m too far gone to come back
