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
