[Verse 1:]
So here we are, years on, came good, found a second voice
And made art out of personal reference points
Scary, I check my songs
And it feels like so many of my best times gone
Guess I'm scared; man, I'm so scared
Cos I don't know where this road ends, don't know what lies there
And with age comes wisdom, lose some, win some
On my lonesome for this one
But, still, my heart beats with them; bars, beats and rhythms
Take care of your memories, can't relive them
When I wonder about my own worth
I just hope I splash some bright colours on a cold world
Through a life long career away
On the chance that, for a moment, you hear me play
And I'd make this sacrifice again
For these precious few moments on stage
[Hook:]
I swear that this is worth more than soul to me
Worth more than these words to me
I need you to know that is worth more than gold to me
Worth more than MC, MC, ohhhh
[Verse 2:]
I don't expect y'all to remember me
When the dead leaves, fall from the evergreens
When our summers end, our parts cross here might never come again
It's the well warned fate of the music man
Something like an admission or mortality
That old foe times like gravity
Can't beat it, only hope to look back happily
And say "if I had mine back, I'd do it all again."
Yep, every misstep and regret that I've grown to accept
Whatever comes next, I commit you my future, give you my past
Gift you these words cos the present don't last
So, before I'm an old flame in your heart
And these words fade as quick as the next song starts
I made this for you to take, thanks for believing
Just let me keep that, before the leave
[Bridge:]
With blood and sweat, we've teared and shed
We grow, we age, we fade, we die
We die, we die, we live forever
[Hook:]
This is worth more than soul to me
Worth more than these words to me
I need you to know that is worth more than gold to me
Worth more than MC, MC, ohhhh
This is worth more than soul to me
Worth more than these words to me
I need you to know that is worth more than gold to me
Worth more than MC, MC, ohhhh
[Verse 3:]
And it's sad, but to start something new
I had to wave part of my life goodbye
So, these the first steps of Illy's ONETWO
And this the last roar of Phrase's Crooked Eye
So this one's for you, my brother
Longly at echo, years after the final scene
Could never pay you what due, my brother
So this is toast to what is, or it might have been
