Forsaken Man lyrics

[Intro]

Take it there, I take you there

Elevate you 'til you taste the atmosphere

It's like heaven, innit? Better savour it

'Cause you won't experience this peace

[Verse 1]

'Til I put pen to page again, 'cause Satan is

On the stage, in the chambers, on your pages

And in all the papers and it's for the sake of man

Forsaken man, just to make a quick buck

Or to make amends, or it never ends

That's why I know it's the same as it's always been

I'm just better in tune with the infinite

Peace to Jay Elec and we need to take a step

For we moved past the days of bayonets

Lands down from ancestors, you no pay respect

Instead it's just boozing, amusing, torturing kids in Nauru

What's it say about us?

[Pre-Chorus]

Take it in, take it in

We all want cash, wanna rake it in

Make it rain, make 'em hell, make 'em kiss your ring

Oh, but if you lose you soul then what did you gain?

[Chorus]

It's just common sense, but they take you there

Demons take you there, but we'll take you from there

Keep you safe from there, yeah, we take you there

Yeah, we take you there, let me get real, say

[Verse 2]

Tell me I don't love this shit? Lost my lady, sanity and job this year

Had coins thrown at me

This what happens when you try to make change

I was nearly Fetty Wap this year

Can't stop, won't stop (Uh-uh, uh-uh)

That's why I touch more runways than Kate Moss this year

Trying to use the momentum we got this year

To expand from Berlin to Gloucestershire

But somewhere on the road, I got lost this year (Really?)

Found a bottle of scotch to sip (Woo!)

Put my head in the dirt like an ostrich

To block the hate and lack of self-confidence

Wow, wow, I gotta Dwight Howard block this shit

Got responsibility, got to lift my space cadets up like rocket ships

Taste the sweet life like stacks of chocolate chips

Look, can't be sad when you've got people to gamble

And you're hoping you can overcome stigma attached to black

And stand up for your dream patterns

If we all work hard, then we all get it happening

Whether you're rapping or you're in the faculty

Or you're in the factory, or you're in the TattsLotto office

Looking for freedom under a Scratchie

We're all Mick Fanning trying to catch these waves

No matter how big or small

No matter how you get yours, let's get yours

That's what I believe when I'm sober anyway

So it's gotta be true

[Chorus]

That's why I take you there, and you could take it there

And I could take you there, and we could take you there

Believe we'll take you there, and you could take it there

And I could take it there, yo, we could take it there

Believe we'll take it there

Yes, say take it there, take it there

I could take you there, you could take it there

We could take it there, believe we'll take it there

Yes, say take it there, yes, say take it there

[Outro]

Take it there, yes, say take it there, yes, say take it there

Take it there, yes, say take it there, yes, say take it there

Take it there, yes, say take it there, yes, say take it there

Take it there, yes, say take it there, yes, say take it there

Take it there, yes, say take it there, yes, say take it there
