A Look Back Lyrics - Singles - Jimmy Davis

Please allow me to present my recollection 

Of when my life took a major change in direction 

I've heard people talk through the years and seen intention 

To offer fabrication and relay a misconception so 

Let's set the record straight, commemorate 

The biggest obstacle I've overcome I need to separate 

The fact from the fiction, the crack smack addiction 

Emotions that this period would generate 

Secondary school, where the shit began 

Me and my three best pals started to hit the can 

Sniffing aerosols, smoking draw, taking gas 

Sparking up one after another and evading class 

I let wanting to be accepted get the better of me 

And that quest for popularity eventually rob me 

Of the chance to realise my capabilities 

But I was too busy with thieving, lies and taking liberties 

Make it, no more hurting when you cry 

You're gonna make it 

No more teardrops from the sky 

You're gonna make it 

No more saying your goodbyes 

You're gonna make it 

You can make it if you try 

You're gonna make it 

So smoking weed was becoming a habit 

And your brain is such a terrible thing to waste doing nothing is tragic 

Dropped one of my A Levels 

Not cos of my abilities but for extra curricular activities 

Then came the raves, finding ecstasy 

And a subject that over time I'd find perplexing me 

You see my so called mates were just a bunch of twats 

And that's another part of my life full of complexity 

Over time I guess the raves weren't enough 

Cos certain members of the faculty had started burning stuff 

That was completely inappropriate 

Known as scag, H, brown, smack, tings or known as opiate 

And like a little prick Jimmy stayed and hung around 

Even though I'd already been made to look a clown 

It still took some time for me to eventually succumb 

But when I did it twisted my character left me feeling numb 

Make it, no more hurting when you cry 

You're gonna make it 

No more teardrops from the sky 

You're gonna make it 

No more saying your goodbyes 

You're gonna make it 

You can make it if you try 

You're gonna make it 

So 6 months chasing the dragon was admittedly 

The worst time of my life I was smoking crack intermittently 

I heard some crackhead shit, prick at least I overcame 

D'ya say that to your mates who everyone week are sniffing cocaine? 

It's all the same shite 

I used this episode to make me stronger, spur me on and always keep the flame alight 

See I got through it when I was left alone 

And not once did I see a bottle of methadone 

But this is no sob story I don't want sympathy 

It's just setting it straight for the wankers who've got it in for me 

And a chance to apologise to my family 

For everything I did the enormity and the gravity 

Of my actions, are a burden 

That I'll carry with me until they're closing the curtain 

Even if I fucking settle out in St Tropez 

I'd never change my past cos its made me the man I am today 

Make it, no more hurting when you cry 

You're gonna make it 

No more teardrops from the sky 

You're gonna make it 

No more saying your goodbyes 

You're gonna make it 

You can make it if you try 

You're gonna make it
