Raise The Flag Lyrics

[Hook]
Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play
And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn

[Verse 1]
Kells,
All these pretty lights,
Can't you see em?
Endless nights,
In my life's museum,
Where we see our heroes,
And pretend to be em,
And we seize the day,
Carpe Diem,
Previous to this dream state I had leftovers on each plate,
Left shoe all tattered up from this long journey my feet ache,
Left the life that I lived because everyday was just replays,
And I dreamed big, walked around in my PJ's,
And my street days are still here,
Never changed like I still wear,
The same pair,
Phone call? what for?
We ain't long distance, I'm still there,
Still on the blocks where gun cocks and gunshots are more familiar of a sound then what's "hot",
12 dollar showers at truck stops would give anybody motivation that you must not lose this one shot...

[HOOK]

[Verse 2]
Demon days,
Evil nights,
Happy hours,
Frequent flights,
God flow,
People's strife,
Hear it once,
Speak it twice,
Hearts never break even,
And they change color like seasons,
Backs turn like treason,
But somehow you swear you ain't leaving,
Follow me now, follow me now,
Spoon fulls of sugar and handfuls of medicine help it go down,
Help it go down,
I was just a fool in a room full of Edison's, look at me now,
Look at me now,
Feel my words,
Look at this sound,
Reminiscin on when I was lookin out on the city wishin a million muthafuckas gave me that crown, bitch I run this town.

[HOOK]

[Outro]
Kells,
All of the people out there with me right now,
Raise your muthafuckin flags,
See this is the beginning,
This is ours,
This is black flag.
