Sun Goes Down - Intellectual

[Verse 1: Devlin]

I had to fight for my life, and nearly everything in it

This ain't just lyrics I’m bringing, I’m giving you insight into a world that I live in

Where if you don’t stand up, man up, you might as well be dead in the city that you sit in

I switched my life from an awkward position

I wanted more than working and still being poor

I don’t need criminologists proving that young men have acted like animals daily

Ain't that what you made this for, nothing inside but hatred and war

All I ever learn from policemen, was how to kick through a door

But I retain composure, now I can’t stop 'til the Sun burns out

Life as you know it is over, I used to run around town

Thinking of scams and plans

Now you see my face on a poster, you must have thought that I was a no-hoper

Or a joker

I can't let your vision be

The only part that’s made for me

Cause when the Sun goes down I gotta be

Content when I lay my head, I lay my head

Until the Sun goes down, on every broken town that I'm rolling around

I'll have my heart on my palm and I show you my hand

Cause no matter what happened you won’t ever see me a broken man

My faculty throws them rations then we make dough when we share it around

I can feel a change in power, now life don’t seem so sour

I used to sign on then ride on when I told myself

That I weren't gonna work 'til I'm old for means to an end one more bloody hour

So, say hello to my ex boss he's still getting up at half five for a shower

Times are crazy, in my wildest dreams as a baby

I never did think that I would have been the best MC in the whole UK scene

'Til the Sun goes down I'mma run this town like Rihanna and Jay-Z

There's no stopping me now, I’m a warrior now, I’m telling you, take heed

Until the Sun no longer rises

The fall of mankind, the change of climates

You'll find me grinding, this life that I’m in

It’s full of surprises, but you'll still find them fighting

Until the Sun no longer rises

The fall of mankind, the change of climates

You'll find me grinding, this life that I’m in

It’s full of surprises, but you'll still find them fighting
