Turned Away

[Verse 1] Not too long ago in a land called London I was feeling low and my life came undone I didn't even have a penny to my name My minutes and the hours were just floatin' down the drain So I started to think with the drink and the puff That I could be pursuing other stuff 'Cause I told you take the rough with the smooth Now listen to the groove Time gets past it, the feeling lasted Music blasted but nothing cast in stone Gonna get my own, now we're in the zone Everything's a mist to me, and everything's a mystery The things in life you wish to be We're leaving it to history Better catch this life 'cause it's floatin' past We're in the game and we're in to last 'Cause no one knows when fate gets cast If I'm gonna go, I'm goin' out with a blast [Pre-Chorus] (One, two, one, two) (One, two, one, two, check, check, check, check) [Chorus] Tryna sort it out but you just, just turned away You just turned away, girl, you just turned away Tryna sort my problems out from day to day From day to day, girl, from day to day [Verse 2] I remember when the days went nowhere at all But then I started sprayin' on the trains and the walls Got a girl and my life got better Left a few men feelin' bit bitter So pretty and her eyes were green Felt proud to bring her out on the scene About a year I was with her for And when we broke it left me quite sore So I kicked my heels and kept walking Seen another that I like, now we're talking (Hi) (Busy?) (I tried talking to you) Well if there's a boat to the sun, I tell you everyone wants on If life for you has just begun, there's summer at the end of the run So when the summer days blaze on Sip a beer and look to the sun and keep it 98 percent fun You'll be glad when your lifetime's done, one [Pre-Chorus] (Oh, feeling different now) (My world has changed) [Chorus] Tryna sort it out but you just, just turned away You just turned away, girl, you just turned away Tryna sort my problems out from day to day From day to day, girl, from day to day [Verse 3] Wake up early and my eyes are glazed Reminiscing of those old school days When I spent every day in a haze Looking out for your loved ones' pays New Era, new serial number When I wake from slumber, hear the thunder rumble Don't tumble, Franks in the jungle Grey cells automatically tell tales from Ireland to Wales Wind in my sails, sun on my face And when I'm gone there won't be no trace Captivate, demonstrate, it's about time to castrate The truth from the fiction, feel the friction burns As we learn to take turns, now listen to my terms 'Cause every single one in the world got a turn We're leaving you third degree burns, as the wheel of fortune turns [Chorus] Tryna sort it out but you just, just turned away You just turned away, girl, you just turned away Tryna sort my problems out from day to day From day to day, girl, from day to day [Outro] If shit gets bad you're gonna pull out of it Think twice if you've got any doubts with it 'Cause it's not about pain in this life we live in Let the chapter begin Keep on graspin' keep on lastin' Make the future better than the past's been Live everyday 'cause it could be your last one Now you're tied to the mast, son 22 years in the land called London Been dark, been bright, been fun, son This is for my peers in the land called London Got your back when your world comes undone Seen a few deaths and tragedies I know their souls are afloat on the breeze So for you, I'm burning some trees Can't ever forget the deceased Every single day in the land called London Somebody's tryna look out for a someone Lace up my shoes so they don't come undone These are my words and this is my last one
