Miracle in a Costume (Explicit)

Yeah listen before music was a piece of my life

I used to play basketball that was me every night

I wanted to play college to yo I'd reach for the sky

Until 18 I caught some disease in my eye yeah

I had to stop playing what should I do?

When ball was the only thing I wanted to do

Listen that forced me to focus on music

Pez sat me down like "bro we can do this"

After hearing that I didn't need more really

Going half blind made me see more clearly

Yo I've learnt to take the good with the bad

I'm half blind yeah but now have a look where I'm at

When something seems to turn negative in life

You can always go and turn it into anything you like

So if it happens just remember every time

Yo a tragedy can always be a blessing in disguise

When you're on your own no one's there for you

When you're all the way home

There'll be a miracle in a costume

Yeah uh

When I was young I was attracted to the darkside

I wanted everyone to see me as the hard guy

Walking around with my mates trying to start fights

Hoping they wouldn't want to cause I can't fight

Thinking back now that sh*t could of ended crazy

I'm just glad that situation never faced me

Back then I was thinking you could never change me

What a dickhead that's not how my parents raised me

See I wasn't facing the facts

Acting crazy wishing I could take it all back but

It took one of my mates to get stabbed just to realize

This sh*t wasn't a game it was wack

That's how I wrote so fate so easily

Cause apart of those dudes I could see in me

So if somebody is wanting to fight

Just swallow your pride and leave it be

And that's real

When you're on your own no one's there for you

When you're all the way home

There'll be a miracle in a costume

Yeah yeah uhh

I nearly died in an accident yeah and so I wrote this story

It's funny though how the worst thing to happen

Probably was the best thing for me

Falling and flying shouldn't take this long

But thanks to the crash yo I made this song

So now I ain't afraid to see the day that I die

Because with this I'll be staying alive (I'll be staying alive)

Yeah I believe in believing the sky's the limit

Have a look and you'll see me up there flying in it

It's a nice view sometimes you might lose

But understand when you fall you can fly too

Don't let anybody tell you what you can't do

Don't let them enter in your head because there aren't you

And understand you could have anything you want

If you put the effort in to remember what you've got

When you're on your own no one's there for you

When you're all the way home

There'll be a miracle in a costume
