Never Lived Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I am speaking from the privilege to waste

I have eaten not for hunger but for taste

My predicament has changed

Counting pennies to accounts amounting plenty

Spend it like it's never ending, never saved

I learned how to misbehave

Long before I learned my lesson

Slow forgetting, quick repeating, answer seekin'

Like Punjabis in the house

Burnt decisions came from instances of doubt

I mean, what this all about?

Friend to foe, foe to friend

And so it go

Evil or I got my hand out to extend

As for handouts I don't lend

I been there for lots of people

When they need you, they around

When time they equal, they depart

I take that straight to my heart

Contemplated thinking everyone's the same

But, in the end it only changes who you are

As for I, I will remain

I'm the summon of my past and my present

What's the combo

Make me run, I take my pleasure with my pain

Take some hurt to make a mark

Only difference from a stain is how you see it

I just work to turn my blemishes to art[Chorus]

If you never had a dream you thought would happen start collapsin'

And your passion keep you building, why you crackin'

Well my friend, you'd never live

Well my friend, you'd never live

If you never loved somebody and with time you start to hate them

Then with time you realise you can't replace them

Well my friend, you'd never live

Well my friend, you'd never live

[Verse 2]

I remember when I first felt that feeling of rejection

I was waiting on an answer, she was out of the question

Then I bagged another batter that's ain't out of my league

She came out of that retirement to bat

Best believe, people social

I was hopeful based on nothing but my vocals, what's a crutch

Break a leg, wish me luck, yes indeed

I took knocks to confidence to build this monument to dreams

Now I laugh at the path I thought I never would achieve

'Cause now all I do is travel when I never thought I'd leave

It's a trip, left my past, bag is checked, and extra bags

Manifested we'll fly and we collab

Everyday I count my blessings

Stressed, I don't forget to add

Though, I tried, I learned

I can't just take the good without the bad

Simple math and next fall I won't ignore and skip a class

And attendance with remembrance, I might end this as a grad

At the top I won't forget all of the drop kids took to pass

Life ain't perfect, but it's worth it

I don't have to check the tag

Fill my bag[Chorus]

If you never had a dream you thought would happen start collapsin'

And your passion keep you building, why you crackin'

Well my friend, you'd never live

Well my friend, you'd never live

If you never loved somebody and with time you start to hate them

Then with time you realise you can't replace them

Well my friend, you'd never live

Well my friend, you'd never live

[Verse 3]

I tend to walk with angels

Stroll through that park with demons

Hand in my pocket in case they clocking they won't stop my angle

They try to throw that shade though

That's okay I go with raincoats

Over my head no halo

But over ahead that rainbow

I can't complain though

I got Drāno for my pipe dreams

Strike that, water under bridge with lightning

It won't fright me

I just lay low

Come back with something fatal

Kill mo' I just alter angles

Life try to spite me and despite I still invite that fighting

Stay in the rain for the good bout

Team on deck that's a lookout

Share my meal that's a cookout

Any man try to block way got took out

Got clearway from the hearsay

I don't hear talk 'til a year late

And by then don't matter, what's chatter in the wind forecast on a clear day

I just want to keep my focus

Sleep knowing that I won't blow this

Yeah I got doubts but I know this'll always pull through when defeat get closest

I just want to roll with the punches

Want to pose and poke holes in my lungs and

If you can't accept it and forgive

Well my friend you'd never live
