Forsaken Man by REMI Lyrics
[Intro]
Take it there, I take you there
Elevate you 'til you taste the atmosphere
It's like heaven, innit? Better savour it
'Cause you won't experience this peace
[Verse 1]
'Til I put pen to page again, 'cause Satan is
On the stage, in the chambers, on your pages
And in all the papers and it's for the sake of man
Forsaken man, just to make a quick buck
Or to make amends, or it never ends
That's why I know it's the same as it's always been
I'm just better in tune with the infinite
Peace to Jay Elec and we need to take a step
For we moved past the days of bayonets
Land theft from ancestors, you no pay respect
Instead it's just boozing, amusing, torturing kids in Nauru
What's it say about us?
[Pre-Chorus]
Take it in, take it in
We all want cash, wanna rake it in
Make it rain, make 'em hell, make 'em kiss your ring
Oh, but if you lose you soul then what did you gain?
[Chorus]
It's just common sense, but they take you there
Demons take you there, but we'll take you from there
Keep you safe from there, yeah, we take you there
Yeah, we take you there, let me get real, say
[Verse 2]
Tell me I don't love this shit?
Lost my lady, sanity and job this year
Had coins thrown at me
This what happens when you try to make change
I was nearly Fetty Wap this year
Can't stop, won't stop (Uh-uh, uh-uh)
That's why I touch more runways than Kate Moss this year
Trying to use the momentum we got this year
To expand from Berlin to Gloucestershire
But somewhere on the road, I got lost this year (Really?)
Found a bottle of scotch to sip (Woo!)
Put my head in the dirt like an ostrich
To block the hate and lack of self-confidence
Wow, wow, I gotta Dwight Howard block this shit
Got responsibility, got to lift my space cadets up like rocket ships
Taste the sweet life like stacks of chocolate chips
Look, can't be sad when you've got people to gamble
And you're hoping you can overcome stigma attached to black
And stand up for your dream patterns
If we all work hard, then we all get it happening
Whether you're rapping or you're in the faculty
Or you're in the factory, or you're in the TattsLotto office
Looking for freedom under a Scratchie
We're all Mick Fanning trying to catch these waves
No matter how big or small
No matter how you get yours, let's get yours
That's what I believe when I'm sober anyway
So it's gotta be true
[Chorus]
That's why I take you there, and you could take it there
And I could take you there, and we could take you there
Believe we'll take you there, and you could take it there
And I could take it there, yo, we could take it there
Believe we'll take it there
Yes, say take it there, take it there
I could take you there, you could take it there
We could take it there, believe we'll take it there
Yes, say take it there, yes, say take it there
[Outro]
Take it there, yes, say take it there, yes, say take it there
Take it there, yes, say take it there, yes, say take it there
Take it there, yes, say take it there, yes, say take it there
Take it there, yes, say take it there, yes, say take it there
Take it there, yes, say take it there, yes, say take it there
Take it there, I take you there
Elevate you 'til you taste the atmosphere
It's like heaven, innit? Better savour it
'Cause you won't experience this peace
[Verse 1]
'Til I put pen to page again, 'cause Satan is
On the stage, in the chambers, on your pages
And in all the papers and it's for the sake of man
