[Verse 1: K21]

Early bird, eagle eyes, rose from the aviary

One day you’ll see me make them bleed, for now it’s city state vs me

Hate to see the same old scenery, take me today, let’s leave

Though it’s a pasty dream, I’ma go out and make the team

I’ma make the murder proud, lift my wings away, I’m free

Like Marley mixed with Gandhi but more narky from the way I speak

Torturous pain I’ve seen swarming the same old street

Stuck looking for answers, or maybe a soul who came to reap

Play for keeps, chasing shadows while the basement creaks

The spirit of an angel weeps, withering away this creep

The price that I’d kill, for a minute of the day to keep

Without blinded to pray on knees, saying baby geez

An athi-yeast with no chaser, take amazing leaps

Spit it with no space to breathe, still manage to say the least

Blame the beats for the ill madness and rage I leak

Painting streams of letters together until I’ve came and been

You never know when you gotta go, and too late it seems

Then it’s roses arranged in wreathes thrown in the place you sleep

Appreciate them what I get, mostly it’s made for me

'Cause if I don’t there’s no way I’ll be—hope is a saneless thing

[Pre-Chorus: Joy Sparkes & K21]

I don’t need to know about tomorrow

Of your dreams I don’t need to follow

Looking up, it’s plain to see

The shining lights are guiding me

Lift my wings away, I’m free

I walk towards my caged reality

Each step I take away from choice

I take a chance to find my own voice

[Chorus: Joy Sparkes & K21]

Never, never, never

Never, never, never

Never, never, never

She never said never, never left me alone

Never ever say never

Nowadays I just rest on my own, set it in stone

Never, never, never

Never, never, never

Never, never, never

She never said never, never letting me go

Never ever say never

This house is something I share on my own, let it be known

[Scratches/Collision: PT]

"Never—never say never

Never—never say never

Never—never say never

Never—never say never

Never—never say never

Never—never say never

Never—never say never

Never—never say never"

[Verse 2: K21]

Finding beauty while I peddle my hideous art

Obsidian-hearted, swum through a river of sharks

The city of Christ, never feeling alive

Somewhere between dying from the truth and living a lie

Unleashing the kid inside, let him sprint till he’s tired

Green the house, blew the mind-state and Crimson the eyes

I’ma ride this sinking ship till I die, cradle the burial

Mentality like 'dead ‘em all', mood swinging my wrecking ball

Spent a couple cents to talk, but then I made no sense at all

But putting sentiment in these sentences never sent to fall

Climb, climb, getting tall, let the shoulders hold the weight

Do it till my oldest day, never, never fold I stay

Playing with the cards I got, win it all or bold escape

Waiting for that aftershock, windy is the path I’m on

Windy was the weather, my body discovered past the rocks

Call it game over when the heart has stopped

[Pre-Chorus: Joy Sparkes & K21]

I don’t need to know about tomorrow

Of your dreams I don’t need to follow

Looking up, it’s plain to see

The shining lights are guiding me

Lift my wings away, I’m free

I walk towards my caged reality

Each step I take away from choice

I take a chance to find my own voice

[Chorus: Joy Sparkes & K21]

Never, never, never

Never, never, never

Never, never, never

She never said never, never left me alone

Never ever say never

Nowadays I just rest on my own, set it in stone

Never, never, never

Never, never, never

Never, never, never

She never said never, never letting me go

Never ever say never

This house is something I share on my own, let it be known
