lirik lagu urthboy - stories [alternate version]
[intro: urthboy]
you know when you were a kid and they said “don’t tell stories”
yo mantra
yo drapht
let’s tell some stories
[verse 1]
when i get to you, no i won’t forget
what it took and takes, by the book and breaks
by the crate and limb, by the state i’m in
by the skin of my t–th took it on the chin
i was up for it, “yep” more than “no”
i was down for the cause and you ought to know
spent all day on it at work and then brought it home
something like an addiction, never fought it though
got a debt to the stars, debt to the gutter
a debt to the bars, debt for the wisdom
that i will discard, you can bet i’ll do it
in the future as i have in the past
all of it has scarred me but i’m still here
through the imperfections that interfered
feeling like a thief, stole a whole career
wanna know? let me lend your ear
[hook]
i had to go about it, ride it out and find it myself
and there’s some stories i can tell you
i had to fail, had to fall just for what i did well
and there’s some stories i can tell you
[verse 2: mantra]
whether or not you went and got a better job, got fed up
instead forget mantra i’m better off being robbed
went along with whatever the others want
i got a lot on my chest i gotta get it off
my heart was heavier than it ever had been
barely ever slept kept seeing the bad dreams
ordered three cigarettes and caffeine
you know i’m cheap but you are no antique
there’s no need to thank me
just thank your lucky stars that we never had beef
i never wanted to k!ll you though i tried
although it wouldn’t have been you but me that would have died
i decided what seems like a long time ago
that i could put my life into the microphone
even if it meant i’d never buy a home
we’ll die happy even if we gotta die alone!
[hook]
i had to go about it, ride it out and find it myself
and there’s some stories i can tell you
i had to fail, had to fall just for what i did well
and there’s some stories i can tell you
[bridge] x2
you’ve got to go about it
you’re going to ride it out
you’re going to know about it
you’re going to let it out
[verse 3: drapht]
ya
had to strip it all back to discover me
discover you see the love in each
ugly gutter it was a part of me
had a gargoyle on every artery
guarding my heart a marksman
locked on a target in darkness
but f-ck it was hard to sleep
‘cos everything i feared became part of me
see we became a carcinogenic thought
cause and effect that would mimic war
walk through the valley of death with the dark
to grasp the importance of breath
before we would war with the rest
you and me we were chalk and cheese
always a lesson unless i had to let you be me
[outro]
i had to go about it, ride it out and find it myself
and there’s some stories i can tell you
i had to fail, had to fall just for what i did well
and there’s some stories i can tell you
i had to go about it, ride it out and find it myself
and there’s some stories i can tell you
i had to fail, had to fall just for what i did well
and there’s some stories i can tell you
you’ve got to go about it
you’re going to ride it out
you’re going to know about it
you’re going to let it out
