This track was actually originally written for my band "Heavy Get Go." We were able to record it this summer and it will be available soon. I thought that I should take a stab at it though before the other guys colour it up with their style. Enjoy!
lyrics
I used to be the man who had it all
Bringing justice to the beat
Lockin' up the trash and pushed the law
This is how i cleaned the streets
Listen carefully and mark this down
I never fight it this is me
I'm a wealthy man I own this town
The baddest one you'll ever meet
Waiting for a better 'morrow
Ain't gonna rise it up for you
Let it be and say a prayer for grace
Try not to wallow
As you drown in your sorrow
Grab my hand I'll help you stand
Let it go and I will show you
Why won't you just let it go
They say you kicked the can you've had your time
Get a grip and catch the flow
They know you they've seen you walk these streets
With a bottle of whisky and a coat
Listen carefully and ease your mind
I only speak of what I know
If this is what you think of where you've been
Be on your way and hit the road
