Jimmy Davis - A Look Back Lyrics
Please allow me to present my recollectionOf when my life took a major change in directionI’ve heard people talk through the years and seen intentionTo offer fabrication and relay a misconception soLet’s set the record straight, commemorateThe biggest obstacle I’ve overcome I need to separateThe fact from the fiction, the crack smack addictionEmotions that this period would generateSecondary school, where the shit beganMe and my three best pals started to hit the canSniffing aerosols, smoking draw, taking gasSparking up one after another and evading classI let wanting to be accepted get the better of meAnd that quest for popularity eventually rob meOf the chance to realise my capabilitiesBut I was too busy with thieving, lies and taking libertiesMake it, no more hurting when you cryYou’re gonna make itNo more teardrops from the skyYou’re gonna make itNo more saying your goodbyesYou’re gonna make itYou can make it if you tryYou’re gonna make itSo smoking weed was becoming a habitAnd your brain is such a terrible thing to waste doing nothing is tragicDropped one of my A LevelsNot cos of my abilities but for extra curricular activitiesThen came the raves, finding ecstasyAnd a subject that over time I’d find perplexing meYou see my so called mates were just a bunch of twatsAnd that’s another part of my life full of complexityOver time I guess the raves weren’t enoughCos certain members of the faculty had started burning stuffThat was completely inappropriateKnown as scag, H, brown, smack, tings or known as opiateAnd like a little prick Jimmy stayed and hung aroundEven though I’d already been made to look a clownIt still took some time for me to eventually succumbBut when I did it twisted my character left me feeling numbMake it, no more hurting when you cryYou’re gonna make itNo more teardrops from the skyYou’re gonna make itNo more saying your goodbyesYou’re gonna make itYou can make it if you tryYou’re gonna make itSo 6 months chasing the dragon was admittedlyThe worst time of my life I was smoking crack intermittentlyI heard some crackhead shit, prick at least I overcameD’ya say that to your mates who everyone week are sniffing cocaine?It’s all the same shiteI used this episode to make me stronger, spur me on and always keep theFlame alightSee I got through it when I was left aloneAnd not once did I see a bottle of methadoneBut this is no sob story I don’t want sympathyIt’s just setting it straight for the wankers who’ve got it in for meAnd a chance to apologise to my familyFor everything I did the enormity and the gravityOf my actions, are a burdenThat I’ll carry with me until they’re closing the curtainEven if I *****ing settle out in St TropezI’d never change my past cos its made me the man I am todayMake it, no more hurting when you cryYou’re gonna make itNo more teardrops from the skyYou’re gonna make itNo more saying your goodbyesYou’re gonna make itYou can make it if you tryYou’re gonna make it
