(Chorus: Jamie)
I know that you would rather die than hide
Don't save me from the fight
Don’t bury me alive
I know you waited half a life to try
So who am I to find a way across the line
(Verse 1: Kerr)
They tell me that I'm nothing; I'm walked over and passed on
15 minutes later, these imitators don’t last long
I don't catch a wave, or deal with the skulduggery
I am the result of dealing my own currency
Caution, when fake love is often
Bury me with nothing but pride inside my coffin
Feel it coming, I swore it when I was young
Like a shot from a loaded gun, I be the one – like
Anybody, who anybody can see the passion
I went running wild, and doubled down on the action
My people in the city, I can raise them like the roof
All that trouble in my youth, made me fire in the booth
Now that hunger in my stomach, got them baited when I roar
They wouldn't let me in the gate, so I tunnel through the floor
Now they carry me with harmony and caution on the side
Caution on the side
(Chorus: Jamie)
I know that you would rather die than hide
Don't save me from the fight
Don't bury me alive
I know you waited half a life to try
So who am I to find a way across the line
(Verse 2: Kerr)
Give me that symphony songbird, go sing me that
Mirror that, all of my dark days, get rid of that
Show me light, show me the motion when I be moving right
Black or white, f*ck is the difference when you switch out the light?
Know I'm right, closed off vivarium
Black mirror watch, like tank life aquarium
The border closed, I don't know what we achieved
We've been killing overseas, now its time to f*ckin’ leave?
Like hold back, give us a minute I don’t condone that
All around the map, I don't think we really own that
If you want a tight circle you can move in a huddle
But in the city where I’m from, that will get you in trouble
With some bigotry, hickory di*kory dock symmetry
Say the wrong thing with the wrong colours so flippantly
Literally, there's division in the west, there's division in the east
We just need some f*ckin' peace like – hold up
(Verse 3: Kerr)
I don’t wanna f*ckin' preach, but I'm coming from the streets
I've been raised up off that tonic, that's the belly of the beast
Steady living in the Shire, like it got me on a hook
I got trouble on my mind, probably younger than I look
Look, pray I bring that fire or at least a little heat
I promise that when I fail I'll get back up on my feet
I got shelter from the rain, when I'm running with the troops
I would rather die now than be cut off from my roots
(Chorus: Jamie)
I know that you would rather die than hide
Don't save me from the fight
Don't bury me alive
I know you waited half a life to try
So who am I to find a way across the line
