  • Lost my way
    Fell down a hole
    No-ones gonna come
    And save my soul
    Lost my way
    No going back
    I'm stuck right here, and that is that

    Lost my way
    Fell down a hole
    No-ones gonna come
    And save my soul
    Lost my way
    No going back
    I'm stuck right here, and that is that

    Look around this manor and all you will see
    Its ill manor people with there manors in there ill
    It's the manor person you've ever met in your manor
    Or whatever your likely to meet in any manor 'cause this manors deep
    You judge them on the life that they lead
    But then its not all as black and white as it seems
    There all some way enslaved in their circumstances
    Shape the way the behave on there battle on the street

    That's why these kids ain't got no hope,
    Walking round their estates thinking this is it
    They ain't ever getting out and it's no joke
    Probably is the best their lives is ever gonna get
    They don't believe they can succeed
    Or the opportunities you say are back there really exist
    'Cause they've been told from every day from the minute
    They were born by there fucked up parents that they ain't shit
    Mum and dad never made nothin' of them selves
    Na, so why the hell are they gonna?

    Schools a waste of time, they're only gonna fail
    Their older brother went to jail, why ain't they gonna?
    I mean the hang with thugs, they sell drugs
    Ain't afraid to put a couple slugs in you if you say something
    They ain't all that way but you don't care either way
    To you they're all just the same a bunch of fucking-
    Used to the rap everyday
    Looking for the devils pain
    The young souls that went astray
    Listen and you'll hear them say

    Lost my way (lost my way)
    Fell down a hole (fell down a hole)
    No-ones gonna come (no-ones gonna come)
    And save my soul (and save my soul)
    Lost my way (lost my way)
    No going back (no going back)
    I'm stuck right here (I'm stuck right here)
    And that is that (and that is that)

    God said let there be light created Adam and Eve
    Then he gave them eyes and told them both to both believe
    Something they'd actually physically see
    And then the devil came along and planted a seed
    And down started growing from the ground like trees
    Right up to the sky so profoundly seen
    To be the only thing in this life that wasn't a dream
    Made from stone, steel and iron beams
    The council blocks, they defined the man
    And bullied the sky so everybody could see
    Some birds were caged and will never be free
    And gradually people began to change there beliefs
    Until god was nothing more than just a fictional being
    The worship and money merged all colors and creed
    Into one true religion that was driven by greed
    Corporate machines trying to sell you shit you don't need
    On television and the ad breaks in between
    Until people only cared about material things
    Not lives with other fellow human beings
    And I'm guilty of it to or so it seems

    Lost my way (lost my way)
    Fell down a hole (fell down a hole)
    No-ones gonna come (no-ones gonna come)
    And save my soul (and save my soul)
    Lost my way (lost my way)
    No going back (no going back)
    I'm stuck right here (I'm stuck right here)
    And that is that (and that is that)

    Lost my way (lost my way)
    Fell down a hole (fell down a hole)
    No-ones gonna come (no-ones gonna come)
    And save my soul (and save my soul)
    Lost my way (lost my way)
    No going back (no going back)
    I'm stuck right here (I'm stuck right here)
    And that is that (and that is that)

    If you don't believe in something, then you'll fall for anything
    And if that happens then you've lost your way
    If you don't believe in something, then you'll fall for anything
    And if that happens then you've lost your way
    If you don't believe in something, then you'll fall for anything
    And if that happens then you've lost your way
    If you don't believe in something, then you'll fall for anything
    And if that happens then you've lost your way

    If you don't believe in something, then you'll fall for anything
    Don't believe in something, then you'll fall for anything
    Don't believe in something, then you'll fall for anything
    Fall for anything, fall for anything
    Don't believe in something, then you'll fall for anything
    Don't believe in something, then you'll fall for anything
    Don't believe in something, then you'll fall for anything
    Fall for anything, fall for anything Writer/s: Alexander Shuckburgh, Benjamin Ballance-Drew
