Please allow me to present my recollection
Of when my life took a major change in direction
Iâve heard people talk through the years and seen intention
To offer fabrication and relay a misconception so
Letâs set the record straight, commemorate
The biggest obstacle Iâve 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
Youâre gonna make it
No more teardrops from the sky
Youâre gonna make it
No more saying your goodbyes
Youâre gonna make it
You can make it if you try
Youâre 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 Iâd find perplexing me
You see my so called mates were just a bunch of twats
And thatâs another part of my life full of complexity
Over time I guess the raves werenât 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 Iâd 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
Youâre gonna make it
No more teardrops from the sky
Youâre gonna make it
No more saying your goodbyes
Youâre gonna make it
You can make it if you try
Youâre 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
Dâya say that to your mates who everyone week are sniffing cocaine?
Itâs 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 donât want sympathy
Itâs just setting it straight for the wankers whoâve 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 Iâll carry with me until theyâre closing the curtain
Even if I fucking settle out in St Tropez
Iâd never change my past cos its made me the man I am today
Make it, no more hurting when you cry
Youâre gonna make it
No more teardrops from the sky
Youâre gonna make it
No more saying your goodbyes
Youâre gonna make it
You can make it if you try
Youâre gonna make it
