Devlin

Final Curtain

From Tales From The Crypt2006

Written by Deeperman, Devlin, Ghetts

Lyrics

Final Curtain

Yeah, it's Devilz.. Tales From The Crypt

Big up Deeperman, big up Wretch 32, big up Ghetts

OutTakers slash the Movement

Yeah, it's real life

Tales From The Crypt

[Hook - Devlin]

When the curtain comes across I wanna know that i've lived life

I don't wanna have no regrets and I hope that I've earned respect

Off my family and people around me

When the curtain comes across I wanna know that i've lived life

I don't wanna have no regrets and I hope that I've earned respect

Off my family and people around me

[Verse 1 - Devlin]

Say one day that I don't wake up and the Lord opens the gates up

Then I wanna know that I lived my life and my kids and wife

Grown up and leave the bits behind, yeah that's right I wanna move away

Smoke weed all day and let the music play

I've got bars that will leave you confused for days

And will I be here next year, who's to say?

Left school one year still I ain't got a job

Guess that makes me a bum now

I can't even look at my mum now

, Wretch 32

Produced by Ratchet

Gotta make money though somehow

Living in the streets where it's run down

Sell weed til the sun's down but I wanna give Mumsy summit to be proud of

Once you're in the hood it's pretty hard getting out of

A life of depression just leads to aggression

[Hook - Devlin]

When the curtain comes across I wanna know that i've lived life

I don't wanna have no regrets and I hope that I've earned respect

Off my family and people around me

When the curtain comes across I wanna know that i've lived life

I don't wanna have no regrets and I hope that I've earned respect

Off my family and people around me

[Verse 2 - Wretch 32]

I've got a son now so when I die I'll still be here

It's that real but I'm still prepared

I stack P's til I leave him scared but don't cry for me son, man

I'm your Earth, you're my Sun man

Kai, so together we make rain

I can't front like grief ain't pain

Huh, but be strong rep the surname

But by this time you should have had kids of your own and your kids should have grown

And you're sitting on chrome but that's if I play my part

And invest in the roads but you can't follow my footsteps

You gotta be that good Wretch, cause the road ain't easy

But when I do you'll be me but when it's time come see me

[Hook - Devlin]

When the curtain comes across I wanna know that i've lived life

I don't wanna have no regrets and I hope that I've earned respect

Off my family and people around me

When the curtain comes across I wanna know that i've lived life

I don't wanna have no regrets and I hope that I've earned respect

Off my family and people around me

[Verse 3 - Deeperman]

So when I move on, I wanna be remembered

I wanna have answered all the questions that needed answers

I wanna leave memories, for my friends and my family

So when I'm here I'll make the most of whats around me

Grimey streets and girls that won't go down on me

Back to the manor where I ain't got a pound on me

Don't make marks in the circles surrounding me

But I'm still here living alone, I'm not dead so I'm proving them wrong

I bring tears to your eyes with the bars that I use in my song

And only God knows the movement I'm on

So when I do die, don't cry for me

Roll up a big zute, take a draw and blow it to the sky for me

Reminise for a moment, let the weed circulate and then get high with me

[Hook - Devlin]

When the curtain comes across I wanna know that i've lived life

I don't wanna have no regrets and I hope that I've earned respect

Off my family and people around me

When the curtain comes across I wanna know that i've lived life

I don't wanna have no regrets and I hope that I've earned respect

Off my family and people around me

[Verse 4 - Ghetts]

25 years from now, I can't imagine what the future holds

But I refuse to be broke

Like, not enough plans too many hopes

Hopefully I'm healthy cause I usually smoke

How many more years can my body take, when I'm old will my body ache?

Only God knows

I don't wanna look back and be ashamed, wanna turn back time like that can be arranged

Some olders wanna do exactly the same so who's happy?

Lifes fast like a Ducatti but if you rally it's like getting new fanny

Hustle hard til my last breath enough even if they think I'm doolally

My brains full of good memories, bad ones too but it could of been empty

I'll take care of my kids like a true daddy

[Hook - Devlin]

When the curtain comes across I wanna know that i've lived life

I don't wanna have no regrets and I hope that I've earned respect

Off my family and people around me

When the curtain comes across I wanna know that i've lived life

I don't wanna have no regrets and I hope that I've earned respect

Off my family and people around me

From Dork

Devlin on Dork

Where Devlin’s verse on Jorja Smith’s ‘This City’ comes from

Devlin’s appearance on Jorja Smith’s ‘This City’ returns to his 2010 track ‘London City’, but it is a newly recorded contribution rather than a sample of the original performance.

Jorja Smith has released her third album and announced a huge London show

A 2027 world tour lands at The O2 in London next July.

Jorja Smith has announced her third album ‘What Are The Odds’ with Wizkid collaboration ‘Alive’

P2J produces throughout, with Devlin re-recording his 'London City' verse for 'This City'.
