Damien Dempsey - Brave lyrics

[Intro] See on the come up, you're met with disbelief and disdain Become critically acclaimed and you're conceited and vain The Doors said it best, people are strange.. They treat you like a stranger and take offense then when they're treated the same They say a picture paints a thousand words My palette paints the words that paint a thousand pictures Once a beat is arranged I put my soul on these lines but some secrets remain Like the reason why I need a f**ing scenery change And have to recharge, my batteries depleted and drained See a different world from 40,000 feet on a plane Some of my uncles last words now are deeply ingrained Like the scars I obtained in that heated exchange He said 'your power is your talent, your weapon is your pen The hate is motivation, let success be your revenge' So what's the meaning of my name? Ain't no need to explain When you approve another emcee, its my name you're speaking in vain, i'm Lethal.. [Hook: Damien Dempsey] Oh brave uncle, I know.. That we will meet again, don't know where or when Oh brave uncle, go.. Can't stand to see your pain, we will meet again [Verse 2] A wise man once said seek and you'll find I been searching for the answers now or even a sign See I was tryna find the words to be easing your mind But it was like the blind leading the blind And though you'd never admit it, you were scared what you were leaving behind Because there's people that depend on you to keep them in line And all the years we didn't speak we wish that we could rewind But when you're busy living, ain't nobody keeping the time Cause life is too short, I watched you pa** and seen how fast it ends This second now could be the last we spend And by the time we comprehend that second's already pa**ed And we may never see the future and we'll never see the past again For no rhyme or reason, that's the reason I rhyme Why I work hard rain, hail, freezing or shine You said 'It ain't about the dreaming Paulie, dreaming is fine But getting to them's the achievement' So i'm reaching for mine in your memory [Hook] [Intelude: Uncle Joe] [Verse 3] Remember the Morris Minor that you blatantly stole The judge said that you were breaking parole You said you'd no other place to go and then started playing a role I wasn't stealing it, just tryna get away from the cold.. See it wasn't just your stories it was the way they were told Every punchline was sold and every statement was bold I'm gonna make them know your name Joe i've made it my goal Cause you were worth your weight in gold and thats straight from the soul And when they told you things were looking bleak And said you'd be becoming weak over these coming weeks You said 'i'm keeping all these tumors to myself and won't be sharing the wealth' And that was you, even in the face of d**h still tongue in cheek.. I was tryna find the words to say to console You were still fighting on, though it was taking its toll We were cut from the same cloth, we were shaped from the same mould See you again one day when i'm old..and not too young least I hope.. [Hook] [Outro: Damien Dempsey/John Reynolds]
