Lucky
They call you lucky
You've lived up to your name to the maximum
Since you crashed your whip and walked away from the accident
Witnesses would say that your driving was reckless, there were none
Your mum and sister died in the wreckage
Quite a knack you've got for cheating death it seems, not only that
But even justice seems to trap you then set you free
Seems a higher power wants to let you be
Just maybe eventually you might stop tempting whatever is left you're breathing
But who am i kidding, you believing is the last thing that could take place
A feeling of complacence replaced faith
Live for the moment save regrets for a later date
To you it's far to late to change your superman inflates the cape
The time you nearly did, the 3 to 8 for GBH
You wouldn't have beaten the case, if someone hadn't lost your DNA
Next week you raved that being alives a game and GTA you rearrange the geezers face
with an empty bottle of V&J
How long can you survive without desire
You're living life with no care to starting fires
I believe now you've started, you'll never stop
You'll sell your soul if it means you'll reach the top
Still you weren't charged 'cause the nigger weren't grassin'
You didn't get revenge, 'cause some different guys were after him
He didn't stand a chance when they picked him out and blasted him, the bastards
He had his two kiddies in the park with him
When you heard you laughed at him
Up until this day if someone utters his name you twist you face into a nasty grin
The ice of life you're figure skating on isn't becoming thin
The game you play has favoured you so far you've got the luck to win
Lucky, luckier than your dad was
But what he lacked in luck he made up for in bravery
He was a black cop killed in cold blood on the beat, when you weren't old enough
to speak
But as you roll another weezle, he's pushed to the back cog of your mind
Behind the relevence line coz memories are fine when your present isn't like a gift
And you birthdays permanent mate, but you old man turns in his grave
How long can you survive without desire
You're living life with no care to starting fires
I believe now you've started, you'll never stop
You'll sell your soul if it means you'll reach the top
You're used to laughing in the face of death
So what could trigger the alarm that makes you take a breath
And take the greatest step back and look at what the fuck it's becoming
Why bother, they don't call you lucky for nothing
What goes around has to come around
So how come when you're just about to face the music no one plays a bloody sound
Whenever it seems your times is running out
Something comes and plucks you out and swaps you for somebody else who's lucks run
out
You're an evil dude you've got her pregnant beanie
But you sleep with who you bleedin choose, she knows that she ain't leaving you
She figures she can save you if she gave you a kid
She still believes it 'cause amazingly the lady's having twins
It's all logical, you're thinking if she gives birth in hospital
Now that im responsible for these girls, I'll stop it all
Reluctantly you say that but your saved in this case
'Cause both are you are black, but the babies are mixed race
You've lived up to your name to the maximum
Since you crashed your whip and walked away from the accident
Witnesses would say that your driving was reckless, there were none
Your mum and sister died in the wreckage
Quite a knack you've got for cheating death it seems, not only that
