Jacknife

[Verse 1]

You said to me, no I wasn't good enough

Couldn't make it all the way high

How could it be now

I could of had what it takes to do my own style

Call me a dreamer

But dreams can come true

And I knew, knew not to believe you

And I flew, away from the flock

Now you can't stop me, no one can stop me

Try as hard as you like might give me something solid to bite

You keep me motivated

Now when I think of you my fists get ready to fight

And I'm on tonight

Grab a hold of my soul

Yes I take it everywhere I go

And oh na na, when you're hating

You can slow up cos you're just motivating

[Chorus]

No, you can never be the one to take all

If the day come I know God will come call

Strike you down proper now, once and for all

It's the call of the people then the people come call

Risk to your hiding place come from afar

Thought you were smart but we are smarter

Never, thought it'd catch up then I did jack knifed you up

[Verse 2]

I had a dream, a dream to attain certain things

To live my life free, be at peace with everything

My higher ground brings you down face the floor so you can taste it

Hard to admit nothing you do could stop the pace and

Even if i was, to never breathe again

You'd be on someone else's d**k as soon as you can

Understand let me make myself perfectly clear

I used to love her but she doesn't know i'm here say

What you want, who you are, it's your thing

Sit back relax wait for truth to call in

And then again let's get back to the basics

What was it you did that gave me so much inspiration?

Lets not pretend that were ever real friends

What we ever had then was with all this tension

And yet how do you know you'll be the winner in the innings

I'd be the one to tell you but you better think again cause

[Chorus]

No, you can never be the one to take all

If the day come I know God will come call

Strike you down proper now, once and for all

It's the call of the people then the people come call

Risk to your hiding place come from afar

Thought you were smart but we are smarter

Never, thought it'd catch up then I did jack knifed you up

You don't believe in me, the beginning ever got me

Look who tried to knock me

Couldn't knock me down my heart is solid just like Rocky

Stood my ground, I do it all the time

Living out of bags just to leave you all behind

I tried and you tried to light the damn fire

But I couldn't see no burning desire

And even back then, were you pretending?

Not sure if I can call you a friend but

Feel free to lay your burden

I got near you just for listening

I can give it up but let's be real clear

You could have had it all but your heart was ruled with fear

So

What can i tell ya, no

I can not hold ya, no

Just like i told ya

You can come around but you can't get any closer

[Chorus]

No, you can never be the one to take all

If the day come I know God will come call

Strike you down proper now, once and for all

It's the call of the people then the people come call

Risk to your hiding place come from afar

Thought you were smart but we are smarter

Never, thought it'd catch up then I did jack knifed you up

Yes I will be polite

And smile to you face

But we can never get closer, closer, closer, no

And I will smile to your face

But we can never get closer, closer

You'll never get closer
