[Verse 1: JackPot] I take a trip down memory lane every now and again I reminisce on the depths that made me what I became I built a strength from the lessons that I once threw away And now I feel I'm at a peak I guess can only come with age But yet at times I really feel I had to swallow bitter pills And leave a life I probably should and could fulfill I write a memoir to myself as I stack another shelf With yet another dream I never got to build I coulda been what I wanted to be But it's never as good as it seems And in the end when it's all but passed me I clearly see I never seized the opportunity But better yet I'm moving on and upwards With a brand new outlook and without my doubters I'm moving forward with a brand new focus With other new surroundings without a fake to be found in [Chorus: Krafty] Coulda been what you wanted to be Been the change you wanted to see Shoulda made something of yourself Instead of saying nothing could be helped Life ain't waiting for you, no, no It's too late because you chose Coulda, woulda Shoulda, coulda Woulda, shoulda, coulda Coulda, woulda, shoulda [Verse 2: Krafty] Now I don't pride myself on having pipe dreams My scene has always been the same, but ay Somewhere along the line, I guess I changed Panicked and ran at another career lane Fuck anyone that encouraged me to have a plan b And took me away from my dream One man can never serve two masters So you're lucky it ain't my mission to hurt you bastards I started out alone Picked up a couple friends along the way Recorded a thousand flows Weren't gonna stop until our sound was known Been put down loads but that didn't stop the downloads We went from breaking the law to lyrically breaking them jaws Breaking records There weren't no way we were faking the force I appreciate the memories It sucks we won't make any more because you [Chorus: Krafty] Coulda been what you wanted to be Been the change you wanted to see Shoulda made something of yourself Instead of saying nothing could be helped Life ain't waiting for you, no, no It's too late because you chose Coulda, woulda Shoulda, coulda Woulda, shoulda, coulda Coulda, woulda, shoulda [Bridge] Hear the tick on the clock Uh, oh, no it don't stop Tick, tick, tick on the clock Uh, oh, no it don't stop Life ain't waiting Uh, oh, no life ain't Life ain't waiting for you, no, no Woah [Chorus: Krafty] Coulda been what you wanted to be Been the change you wanted to see Shoulda made something of yourself Instead of saying nothing could be helped Life ain't waiting for you, no, no It's too late because you chose Coulda, woulda Shoulda, coulda Woulda, shoulda, coulda Coulda, woulda, shoulda

Brainwashed 04:21

[Verse 1] Everyone I know is either looking in disbelief Or waiting on me impatiently for me to get this achieved I'm losing the spark I got love for music, but music's refusing my heart And every week that goes by is another one lost Stuck working for others to cover the government cost Life ain't fair, I should be grateful to breathe But late in the eve, there's no one as hateful as me I'm getting older, I should be making my peace But I'm working and it's hurting 'cause I ain't making the P's Doesn't bother me when local cats are taking the pee Basically means I'm still on someones radar at least I got brainwashed, force-fed a dream, a made up belief Grew up thinking I could maybe make it and reach for the stars But this star's lost Hip-Hop feels like a group that I'll never be a part of [Chorus] Brainwashed, brainwashed I've been fucking brainwashed Thinking that I'm getting there but I'm stuck in the same spot Brainwashed, brainwashed I've been fucking brainwashed My time is almost up, mark me with a day dot Brainwashed, brainwashed I've been fucking brainwashed Thinking that I'm getting there but I'm stuck in the same spot Brainwashed, brainwashed I've been fucking brainwashed My time is almost up, mark me with a day dot [Verse 2] Used to think that I was the one that would put us on the map Not noticing the facts and what I actually lacked Asking the devil, what's the cost of wealth? If there's a secret plot then tell, I don't want this gold pot to melt My time's running out, tell me how to cross the belt Impress and shock the world He looks back and says, "you are lost in Hell" "There's no one to blame, you brainwashed yourself" Fake it 'til you make it, except I ain't made it If I'm old then maybe I should break it Maybe I shoulda left it alone Kept to my own lane Accepted the tone that was set when I was born No one ever makes it round here No one ever makes it down here Maybe I'd have been better off if I never got inspired by idols Maybe I should wake up and retire my title 'cause I been [Chorus] Brainwashed, brainwashed I've been fucking brainwashed Thinking that I'm getting there but I'm stuck in the same spot Brainwashed, brainwashed I've been fucking brainwashed My time is almost up, mark me with a day dot Brainwashed, brainwashed I've been fucking brainwashed Thinking that I'm getting there but I'm stuck in the same spot Brainwashed, brainwashed I've been fucking brainwashed My time is almost up, mark me with a day dot [Verse 3] It's kinda sad 'cause this was my dream I weren't even a teen and I was so keen Every step I took was one step behind Started out before a lot of these artists that are getting their shine But I kept it in mind, the thought I'd make it some day Funny 'cause lately the thought has been fading away Dark thoughts are placed in my brain No erasing the pain Just reminders of me chasing my aim And I can't help that I feel like shit when I look at the buzz that everyone else has They went on to succeed and I fell back Used to feel proud to see my favourites getting mentioned Started out as a fan but now I resent 'em And fuck 'em, all they do is pander to the crowd Their hands out Stannin' out I don't know if I'll ever make my family proud How can I? When a false dream is all I am about [Chorus] Brainwashed, brainwashed I've been fucking brainwashed Thinking that I'm getting there but I'm stuck in the same spot Brainwashed, brainwashed I've been fucking brainwashed My time is almost up, mark me with a day dot Brainwashed, brainwashed I've been fucking brainwashed Thinking that I'm getting there but I'm stuck in the same spot Brainwashed, brainwashed I've been fucking brainwashed My time is almost up, mark me with a day dot

[Verse 1] Yo, you tell me I can't do it, I'm fucking stupid I'm nothing new it's tough useless, give up and lose it Maybe the others were lucky and that's how they made it Maybe they had money behind 'em Right place, right time, that's how they find 'em Opinions, I ain't begging for yours Instead of applaud, you'd rather share your negative thoughts So I ignore what you tryna say 'Cause I got a voice in my head and it's saying "please don't die today" [Chorus] Hey, think I'm another one on your list You pull me down, fool around Think I don't know what you're all about I ain't dead yet, I ain't listening I ain't you, I am different 'Cause I realise what you've been filling my head with [Verse 2] Came from a town where nobody's making a sound Maybe they're proud, maybe they're just breaking us down Some of us had dreams that none of us achieved Running at that speed, no wonder we need a rest Tryna be the best but we get redirected Like actors that messed up the last scene and need to get it We seem pathetic to everyone else that ain't chasing My brain's aching, looking at us in the same lane racing Maybe we do need a Plan B Start a family, tell our kids, "be all you can be" Hypocrites, you can lick a hippos dick I am fricking sick of this, caught up in the thick of it And we all know how songs do Don't look up to me, I don't wanna look down on you The ground I move and jump in to hibernate But I got a voice in my head and it's screaming "please don't die today" [Chorus] Hey, think I'm another one on your list You pull me down, fool around Think I don't know what you're all about I ain't dead yet, I ain't listening I ain't you, I am different 'Cause I realise what you've been filling my head with [Verse 3] Foes and pals that ain't down to ride with doubt in mind It's easy to judge from the outside You ain't never done shit, now you're 'bout to come with Some dumb spit about me giving up this They say it ain't a career and I should try something else No-one gave me this job, I applied myself May seem like a cry for help when I step on the scene And split the screen, you'll be beside yourself You put poisonous thoughts in my mind like the news If another man's done it, why can't I do it too? I guess I have been a bit selfish in life I'm just sick of everyone else's advice [Pre-Chorus] Cliches as old as time Will hold you tight through lonely nights What don't kill you will make you stronger So hold on longer (Yeah right) Please don't die today [Chorus] Hey, think I'm another one on your list You pull me down, fool around Think I don't know what you're all about I ain't dead yet, I ain't listening I ain't you, I am different 'Cause I realise what you've been filling my head with
