[Verse 1]

Follow me as I descend into madness

With gladness, for years I've been surrounded by this badness

No time to waste, it's high time I escaped

Out the Forester's Gate, I'm sorry mate but these ends are in a sorry state

You can't relate? Yeah, well you can fuck off can't you mate

Your heart is faint, can't appreciate how this artist paints

My art is great, it's my mind that's in the darkest place

I can't erase the memories I have of a darker days

Darker days that left a bitter after-taste

I'm past the stage of trying hard to mask this rage

I'm letting go, calling out to God to let him know

I'm falling on my own accord, please don't attempt to save my soul


[Hook x4]

You get up off the ground

Take a look around

You dust yourself off

That's when they knock you back down


[Verse 2]

No backpack, just a tramp making tracks

I'm cool like Keith, making friends with the rats

Observing how they act, they ain't begging for my scraps

They ain't cats, they'd rather wait until I turned my back

No turning back, maybe now's the time to turn to crack

I've learned the facts, way before I learnt to rap

This place is a mess, the people here, they don't praise success

They hate it, yes, they don't want to see you make progress

That's why they test, try to knock you to the ground

You pick yourself up, that's when they knock you back down

The university of life, blud, that's where I got my schooling

I know that they can't knock me down as long as I keep falling
