Diggle - As Life Goes By lyrics

Intro: Clarinet Solo Verse 1: Sometimes I feel like I'm slipping away From reality I face in the midst of today While my pals are out getting pissed and laid I'm up in my crib working on a big mixtape So before my demise, before I pa** away Cos we're living in darkish days Finding it hard to cope like getting through Father's Day Seeing tears from my Marge's face and it Gets me down to know that she can't pay her mortgage with only half a wage Income support dropped and the rest have parted ways So I feel like my life's a shambles Unless I've got my horn and gra** to blaze But when it comes to rap and sax, know I go hard this way So know that I'm gonna carve a way to the money, cars and the fame Chorus: As Life goes by, in the blink of an eye I stay focused on writing my rhymes These streets are inviting to crime If I didn't write rhymes, then I'd probably gone mad in my mind Cos it's only music that keeps me sane Plus bud and beers to forget the pain Just reflecting on days runaway Verse 2: It's like we can't speak for ourselves no more They want to lock us up, silence out mouths up From preaching the truth from our own eyes, society's damn f**ed Cos a bredda wanna slash another bredda for his cash Due to ignorance by Cameron We have our doe taxed to sh** No one cares in these times, but we still carry on I'm still hellbound in this madness And nah I won't amount to the sadness That I face in a world that's forsaken Everybody's debating, the government degrading But all I wanna do is live honestly Sick income, get my Marge out of poverty So it's either get signed or win the lottery Nowadays, no one can trust the economy Chorus: As Life goes by, in the blink of an eye I stay focused on writing my rhymes These streets are inviting to crime If I didn't write rhymes, then I'd probably gone mad in my mind Cos it's only music that keeps me sane Plus bud and beers to forget the pain Just reflecting on days runaway Verse 2: I feel like it's gradually getting more hopeless As time goes by and I'm not getting noticed I don't want to throw this away for a silly little deal that won't get me nowhere So I gotta stay focused, cos' money's the motive And girls are a bonus, but if one comes along Without notice for one thing and one thing only Know she'll get pressed in a moment But I know that one thing's for certain That I'll carry on writing my verses And even when my cranium's hurting Then I'll just roll up a big zoot with the fat green herbs in Cos there's only so much you can do with the limited funds Getting pissed with these chicks that are pretty and dumb That's right I'm far from a disciplined mug, I used to be a pillaging c*nt Nowadays I spend all my time and that's getting my lyricist up I wanna be the privileged one who's living it up Want to say to my Marge, thank you so much for bringing me up You've been a brilliant Mum, even though I never see you enough You've been there since the day I was born And when you lost your husband then I felt that your heart was torn to shreads But then I was full of doubt, evil thoughts in my head And as a child you both taught me so much but now life taught me the rest How to look after myself not get board in the chest But as an artist I'll be sure to reach unreachable heights in my music So in ten years time who knows what scores I'll have set Chorus: As Life goes by, in the blink of an eye I stay focused on writing my rhymes These streets are inviting to crime If I didn't write rhymes, then I'd probably gone mad in my mind Cos it's only music that keeps me sane Plus bud and beers to forget the pain Just reflecting on days runaway Outro: Clarinet Solo
