Life Lyrics - Devlin

I should have listened to my mother 

She told me think before you speak 

You better run for cover 

When you hear the sound of the police 

Now look at what I started 

Lord I beg your pardon 

I need to leave this secret garden 

They say home is where the heart is 

Home is where the heart is 

Life's crazy now! I'm asking how many of my friends got babies now 

Life ain't waiting around for no man it won't slow down it just speeds up that's when I freeze up 

And I think of the future do I want daughters do I need sons 

In this messed up world do I need love 

Need drink, do I need skunk 

To elevate me like fiends, fuck! 

Jim you think too deep cuz 

Yeah I know it and I hate my brain 'cause it never can go with the grain 

This life's an enigma straight 

No peace 'til I rest in peace 

I should have listened to my mother 

She told me think before you speak 

You better run for cover 

When you hear the sound of the police 

Now look at what I started 

Lord I beg your pardon 

I need to leave this secret garden 

They say home is where the heart is 

Home is where the heart is 

I've seen a lot of lights flash 

Done well for a white trash kid that dwelled in the timelapse 

Vibing to 90s rap in my night cap tryna bring time back 

Whys that? I don't really know but I worked on impulse 

Writing tracks all about where my life's at 

I never knew I'd be a live act many years later 

When you're breaking through they all rate you 

But when you make the cut they all hate you 

Now I'm isolated I'm a stranger 

Anywhere I go I'm in danger 'cause there's always gonna be a hater 

What's life about? Will I find out later 

I should have listened to my mother 

She told me think before you speak 

You better run for cover 

When you hear the sound of the police 

Now look at what I started 

Lord I beg your pardon 

I need to leave this secret garden 

They say home is where the heart is 

Home is where the heart is 

When the music dies and I'm obsolete I'll spit my rhymes on a somber beat 

Wave bye-bye like Dom McClean fly through time in a quantum leap 

Witness life from a godly seat observing those that were lost like me 

Explorers lost at sea when the siren seems so sweet 

It's enchanting 'til you don't know who you are and your fate's advancing 

Look around you're getting older now and still wasting chances 

Raised in carnage now I feel like Bane in darkness 

But I'm still dancing to an unknown beat with the speakers blasting 

I should have listened to my mother 

She told me think before you speak 

You better run for cover 

When you hear the sound of the police 

Now look at what I started 

Lord I beg your pardon 

I need to leave this secret garden 

They say home is where the heart is 

Home is where the heart is
