VERSE 1:
YUNGUN
- I see this life like it’s finite,
- Couple of stolen moments in the limelight
- You see we climb right out of the womb
- And end up underground in a tomb
- Made out of pine, might
- Be four score years, or just four years
- So while I still walk here
- With the living, I won’t give in
- Won’t take nothing as a given
- Won’t live my life stuck within a prison
- Whether physical or mental
- It’s all about fulfilling your potential
- Bare essentials; let’s take it back to the fundamentals
- We were supposed to treat our bodies like temples
- But instead, it’s fast food in the belly
- And no food for thought, just fools on the telly
- I’ll see you at Spaghetti Junction, not the crossroads
- Wish it could be that simple
- But it’s not though
- It’s all got so confusing…
CHORUS:
- Young and the old are disillusioned
VERSE 2:
DEVISE
- Why is it that all I see is heartache?
- And I start blaming everybody for the things I can’t change
- Why do I resort to needing Class As?
- Like my heart’s way of ensuring all I see is fast-paced
- Or am I trying to bring about my last days?
- I can’t say
- My head and my heart part ways
- I can’t escape from these dark pathways
- Haven’t left my yard today
- And it’s already half past eight
- I need to break from these manacles
- And chains of analysis
- It’s like I’m trapped within a maze
- And now my brain is
- Embraced by paralysis
- Mates tell me keep my faith
- But I lose my way in the face of my challenges
- My mind’s twisted
- Like the spliffs that I’m lacing my chalice with
- Feels like I’m caged in a labyrinth
- Wondering what would happen if
- I was to stagger into a bar
- To have a drink and drop my guard
- Does it matter if rappers think I’ve lost my spark?
- Or I’ve got no heart
- And I’m not so hard
- I’ve walked a long road
- But God knows it’s got so dark
- I can’t tell where the crossroads start
- Or where the potholes are
- Would someone help me out now?
- ‘Cos I need guidance – I’m lost
- On an island I don’t think I can get off
- I washed up on the dryland
- But collided with rocks
- I’m lost on a lonely island I don’t think I can get off
CHORUS:
- Young and the old are disillusioned
- Weak hearts crumble and fold, they’re disillusioned
- The game’s no fun if you know you’re just losing
- Hard to have love in your soul in this confusion
- Young and the old are disillusioned
- Weak hearts crumble and fold, they’re disillusioned
- The game’s no fun if you know you’re just losing
- Hard to have love in your soul in this confusion
- But we don’t stop, we keep movng
