SCRIBE DON'T LOOK BACK LYRICS

 
Back when I was 15
the year was 95
I used to dream one day
I'd be the best rapper alive
I never went to school
without my walkman by my side
and my tape of Biggy Smalls-
Ready To Die

Attended Lenwid High
that's where I get into some mischief
my dad found out
he sent me to Auckland city to live with
a reverend that he said
was strict and very religious
I tried to resist it
but there was nothing I could say
next thing I knew
my bags are packed
and I was on my way
I begged my mom to stay
I promised dad I would behave
she told me now you got to go
but not be afraid
she told me I would be ok
that I had to be brave
I knew my life from that moment
would never be the same,
I forced a smile
in effort to mask up the pain
I said goodbye, took my seat
at the back of the plane
I shed a tear and swore
that I wouldn't look back again.

[Chorus:]
I won't look back
I keep on and keep strong
cause yesterday is now long gone
don't look back
there is a time keep in mind
the human race don't get left behind
now don't look back
I keep on and keep strong
cause yesterday is now long gone
don't look back
there is a time keep in mind
the human race don't get left behind.

Rewind in 99
pen and pad i'm writing rhymes
my girlfriend's pregnant
she's about to drop at any time
I know I'm crazy young
19 with a baby son
on top of that i'm trying to contempt
with my lady's mom
calls me a loser
and a good-for-nothing lazy bum
she said give up the music
that my day would never come
but I can't turn back now
and I got no option to fail
cause mom and dad
just lost a house and
the mortgage you sell.

I say a silent prayer
and yeah I know my god had heard me
cause the next day P-Money asked
if I would sign a thirty
next thing I know
i'm leaving and goin to record my CD
I tell my son things will be
different the next time you see me
I quickly change his nappy
he looks so playful and happy
I gotta go and catch my plane
and the back of the taxi
as it drove away slowly
I just started to cry
because that moment deep inside
a part of me died.

[Chorus:]
I don't look back
I keep on and keep strong
cause yesterday is now long gone
don't look back
there is a time keep in mind
the human race don't get left behind
now don't look back
I keep on and keep strong
cause yesterday is now long gone
don't look back
there is a time keep in mind
the human race don't get left behind.

Now it's been 4 years since Crusader drop
been all the way to the top
went around the world represent
for NZ hip-hop
now I'm touring nominations
in the M2 seven home
a five time platinum plaque
and a silver scroll
Australia went gold
that's 35,000 sold
at 25 years old
I just exceeded my goals
tell me where to from here
tell me where else can I go
what can I possibly do
what don't I already know

Got everything I need
but still I feel there's something lackin'
in my heart don't feel content
I can't get no satisfaction
my heart is full of love
hate, pain, and frustrations
I know my fans, I know
they got a lot of expectations
they think that I could make it
they think that I could take it
my true destiny I can not escape it
but it will all be ok
cause I wasn't put here to stay,
but there's some things I know
before I go that I gotta say
And it's

[Chorus:]
don't look back
just keep on and keep strong
cause yesterday is now long gone
don't look back
there is a time keep in mind
the human race don't get left behind
now don't look back
I keep on and keep strong
cause yesterday is now long gone
don't look back
there is a time keep in mind
the human race don't get left behind, now.
