Give You Strength by Rates Lyrics
[Verse 1:]
Here's a place in the same page should I drift away with?
I scribble down this invitation to some inspiration
Shit is changin', the key to the lock don't fit properly
The industry can lock me out, you thinking this shocks me?
Cut from a different cloth my lyrics be the gift I got
I scribble on the page and give it all until you're drifting off
I changed a lot but I'm still the same it's the same old song
Your kiddin' walk this path I'm steppin on them claymore bombs
Reminds me when I smoked laced weed back at Claymore shops
The same friends I'd like to visit now but they've all gone
Shit's fucked if you were me, you'd blame the place I'm from
But really I can only blame myself yeah Rates went wrong
Spit with conviction and heart rip it apart
Livin' with bits of my past what you think you can laugh?
Kid I admit it you blink and you miss it
It flickers so fast time goes fast
Like ounces of hydro, fuck
Now we all high though
I know, watching our minds go
Yo
[Hook:]
I know, exactly how you're feelin'
I give you strength
You ain't hangin' from that ceilin', no
The drugs will fuck you up
Believe me gotta suck it up
You function better and you're tougher
You don't touch that stuff
I know, exactly how you're feelin'
I give you strength
You ain't hangin' from that ceilin', no
The drugs will fuck you up
Believe me gotta suck it up
You function better and you're tougher
You don't touch that stuff
[Verse 2:]
You're mistaken wait there where you thought I'd stop
I'm only startin' this expression this is all I've got
I've poured it all in my songs
Went nuts when drawin' the plot
Am I imaginin' this? And we all thought I was gone
So don't stand in my way I'm never scared or afraid
Just stand back I might attack you, I don't care what you say
I write music with a meanin' from my heart I explain
A darkness and demons that are feedin' on a half of my brain
I used to laugh it away was never far from a flame
I'd get high and keep goin' and crash down with a bang
I'm lookin', now I'm ashamed I'll etch my name in a crown
And sing along and pass the mic to a blank face in the crowd
Cos we're all the really the same, I spit you're feelin' my pain
I read these temperamental topics that can mention your faces
Man these demons are faceless they make you fiend it and chase it
I run the dragon cos he's breathin' the vapours, so dangerous
[Hook:]
I know, exactly how you're feelin'
I give you strength
You ain't hangin' from that ceilin', no
The drugs will fuck you up
Believe me gotta suck it up
You function better and you're tougher
You don't touch that stuff
I know, exactly how you're feelin'
I give you strength
You ain't hangin' from that ceilin', no
The drugs will fuck you up
Believe me gotta suck it up
You function better and you're tougher
You don't touch that stuff
