Cards by Tebe Aus Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Like iOS I got more features
Coz you the students and we the teachers
So why you tryna teach us?
Is it coz we are some alienated creatures?
You don’t know the procedures
We may rap about shit that makes us look weaker
Is it coz we’re here for something deeper?
And maybe we see the entire picture
Some people they need structure
Some people they need scriptures
Some people need the liquor
Some people just want to get richer and richer
We aren’t all destined for greatness
Getting rough for people on a day to day basis
Some kids who are brainless
They may not feel pain but they aren’t painless
But I’m just tryna keep it simple
Kids poppin’ pills like I still pop pimples
And they’re earning none, while others are triple
Not always they’re fault, it’s down to the people
Individuals covered in carrots
So, they may as well be a garden
There are people covered in ice
So, they may as well be a rink
And I didn’t know what to think
Seeing people out on the street
I wanted to shrink
And run away in a blink
Grab my pen and my paper
And write this in ink
Guess it’s only up from here
I say as I begin to tear
It’s not fair on these people
They can’t disappear
[Chorus 1]
I guess life is like a game of cards
There will always be the lows
And it gets pretty hard
So, you best better stay on guard
Like a goalkeeper
Against Steven Gerrard
I guess too there will be the highs
So, look up to the heavens
And aim for the sky’s
It’s okay to cry
Coz at the end of the day
We’re all gonna die
[Verse 2]
So, you better stay away
Coz with the shit I say
The shit I spray
You’ll think it’s the fourth of May
But I’m not like Luke
And I’m not like Rei
So, I’m not gonna force it
But when I think of my shit
I’m gonna commit
And maybe that line has a double meaning
Coz what if jumped off the top of a ceiling
I thought of external bleeding
This was all so real
I could tell I wasn’t dreaming
Holding my whole world on my shoulders
And I can’t hold it much longer
Most of this has to do with my mum
And what I never told her
And maybe I was fighting a lost battle
Coz I ain’t no solider
At times, I sit and wonder
About how life coulda been
Coz I was only ten
And now I’m sixteen
What the fuck a kinda do
To have is mother ripped away
Never am I not thinkin’ bout her
I think ‘bout her everyday
Some people won’t know my struggle
And some people have been through worse
And shits not always fair
Life can almost be a curse
Life can almost be a burden
Coz we suffer and feel pain
There’ll be times when I lay down at night
And think I’m going insane
[Chorus 2]
I guess life is like a game of cards
There will always be the lows
And it gets pretty hard
So, you best better stay on guard
Like a goalkeeper
Against Steven Gerrard
I guess too there will be the highs
So, look up to the heavens
And aim for the sky’s
It’s okay to cry
Coz at the end of the day
We’re all gonna die
[Chorus 3]
I guess life is like a game of cards
There will always be the lows
And it gets pretty hard
So, you best better stay on guard
Like a goalkeeper
Against Steven Gerrard
I guess too there will be the highs
So, look up to the heavens
And aim for the sky’s
It’s okay to cry
Coz at the end of the day
We’re all gonna die
[Chorus 4]
Guess life is like a game of cards
There will always be the lows
And it gets pretty hard
So, you best better stay on guard
Like a goalkeeper
Against Steven Gerrard
I guess too there will be the high
So, look up to the heavens
And aim for the sky’s
It’s okay to cry
Just remember to
Play your cards right
