Back when I was 15, the year was 95 I use to dream one day I be the
|
Best rapper alive, I never went to
|
School without my walkman by my
|
Side and my tape-biggy smalls ready
|
To die.
|
|
I attended lewidhigh that's where I got into some mischief my dad found out he sent me to Auckland city to
|
Live with a reverend that was strict and very religious, I tried to resist it but there was nothing I could say, next thing I know my
|
Bags were packed and I was on my
|
Way begged my mum to stay I
|
Promised I would behave she told
|
Me, no you got to go and not be
|
Afraid she told me I would be ok
|
And I had to be brave knew my
|
Life from that moment would never
|
Be the same, I forced a smile in
|
Effort to mask up that pain. I said goodbye, took my seat on the back
|
Of a plane, I shed a tear and swore I wouldn't look back again.
|
|
I won't look back I keep on and keep
|
Strong cause yesterday is long
|
Gone, don't look back there is a
|
Time keep in mind the human race
|
Don't get left behind.
|
|
And don't look back keep on and keep
|
Strong cause yesterday is now long
|
Gone, don't look back there is a
|
Time keep in mind the human race
|
Don't get left behind.
|
|
Meanwhile in 99 had a pad I'm
|
Writing rhymes, my girlfriend's
|
Pregnant she's about to drop at
|
Any time, I know I'm crazy young 19 with a baby-son on top of that I'm
|
Trying to contempt with my lady's
|
Mum, calls me a loser and a good
|
For nothing lazy bum, she says give up the music, that my day would
|
Never come, but I can't turn back
|
Now I got no option to fail cause
|
Mum and dad just lost a house in
|
Mortgage sale.
|
|
I say a solid prayer and yeah I
|
Know my god had heard me cause the
|
Next day p-money asked if I would
|
Sign it dirty next thing I know is
|
That I'm leaving to go record my CD I tell my son things will be
|
Different next time you see me,
|
Quickly change his nappy- he looks
|
Playful and happy, I got going
|
Catch my plane after the back of a
|
Taxi, as I drove away slowly I
|
Started to cry, because that moment deep inside a part of me died.
|
|
I won't look back I keep on and keep
|
Strong cause yesterday is long
|
Gone, don't look back there is a
|
Time keep in mind the human race
|
Don't get left behind.
|
|
And don't look back keep on and keep
|
Strong cause yesterday is now long
|
Gone, don't look back there is a
|
Time keep in mind the human race
|
Don't get left behind.
|
|
Now it's been four years since
|
Crusader made it's way to the top,
|
Went around the world represent NZ
|
For hip-hop now I'm touring
|
Nominations in the M2 seven home a
|
Five time platinum plaque with
|
Silver scroll, Australia went gold
|
That's 35, 000 sold at 25 years old I just exceeded my goal, tell me
|
Where to from here tell me where
|
Else can I go, what can I possibly
|
Do, what don't I already know.
|
|
Got everything I need but still I
|
Feel something lacking in my heart
|
Don't feel content I can't get no
|
Satisfaction, my heart is full of
|
Love, hate, pain and frustrations I
|
Know my fans they got a lot of
|
Expectations, they think that I can
|
Make it, they think that I can take it, my true destiny I can not
|
Escape it but it will all be ok
|
Cause I wasn't put here to stay,
|
But there's something things that I know before I go that I got to say
|
And it's
|
|
Don't look back I keep on and keep
|
Strong cause yesterday is long
|
Gone, don't look back there is a
|
Time keep in mind the human race
|
Don't get left behind.
|
|
And don't look back keep on and keep
|
Strong cause yesterday is long
|
Gone, don't look back there is a
|
Time keep in mind the human race
|
Don't get left behind.
