Devlin - The Journey lyrics

Verse 1: Faced with the choice I had I was lucky with the boys I had So I stuck to my guns Like I had a handful of no more nails And I picked up a strap And it paid off, can't sail off yet though I've got a lot of work left Gotta rep for those who rep me From when I wasn't anyone and nobody had heard Dev's But now it's all changed round I've got so lucky I'm James Brown So pa** me a tin, I'm Montana I hope you like red because I'm painting the town It feels like a million years That I've waited and been frustrated But now its orchestrated and now I'm ordering a riot Look who s back to torture the sound You couldn't keep me away too long I became more strong as the race went on I've been writing rhymes for 9 years In the blink of an eye that's 9 years gone Maybe I should have been a doctor And help anybody who was weak get strong Who knows, but all I know now Is that the life I've got, trying to grind for my spot Look back to my youtube footage And you'll see my rise to the top I'm the guy who inspired these blocks Ever since 05, I've thrived in the fire and it's hot Me and Ghetts made changes To what MC's wrote on the pages And gave young guys a guide To proceed with writing rhymes that are dangerous A license to be lyrical Inside of the life of a ridicule I cut through my own umbilical cord With a flick knife and I turned up in the physical As man in the flesh I need answers like I need breath Finding yourself is hard at its best But on the large scale, part of the test So we solider on Trying to do what's right on the road to wrong All the highs and lows and the times in the cold Just made me equipped for the time that I've got Left on the planet, I've got to run till my legs can't hack it Thought I was gone then you're wrong Devlin's here and it's Jim not Janet Bridge: Follow me on my Journey Follow me on my Journey Follow me Verse 2 Way back in my early days They wouldn't f** me like a bird with aids Now it's all love when I walk on the stage But those that I wanted to love me, escaped So now I'm creating a canvas Take to a camera, capture a still And in your own personal ways Develop the negatives in your own brain And take what you want, what you will This journey is ill but I'm firm in it still Fixated on striking it right The goals in sight now that I'm a little further up field I'm stronger than ever, Incredible Hulk with his own vendetta Can't drop bombs on devs in a set up Step back merely wander at will I smile at the grimace inside of this ill pill grimmage Out of my mind and my mind is my limit Then I think you'll find that I can do what I like till the whole films finished And you know that I will make the most of my deal Over the next twelve months I've got to get close to a mill Drinks in the air I'm lifting the spirits Just like weights on the bar, tell the pretty lady to wait at the bar Buy her more bailees and wait for the car I ain't a k**er but I sure do k** it Now I seen the best of days on this escapade On walking on bricks pre-laid Cos the quest was paved Now I bet you wish you could live it
