Not your time to go lyrics

My life could sound like a sad song

so let me take you back a little short story long

I was born in a crazy country but beautiful indeed

the middle east Miami, that special air that I breathe

a war zone yes, a hot zone yes,

Beyrouth Lebanon well known? No!

the spirit of a soldier, riches of a land

but too little to grab on for so many hands

so they fight and for a decade they fought again

I'm watching I'm a kid and god damn I can't understand

I see the heroes dying, I see the soldiers crying

I prayed for better days but god was lying so

that's my reality I guess, I'm eleven years old and no future to assess

plus the fact that I'm a property of a war zone country

I've seen it all, they made a warrior out of me

Wake up kid it's not your time to go...

Wake up kid it's now the time to show

The whole world what you came for, go it's your payback (bis)

Still so young but living like no tomorrow

like on a respirator, breathing on time you borrow,

seeking for a little piece, a glimpse of sunshine

gather the family and have some quality time,

and then January 1st 1991 war is over

daddy had enough, let's move over,

quickly we pack up, couple of dollars for back up

grabbed my little sister, kiss goodbye it's a wrap up

a new life, for me a new beginning,

I knew from there on there's no fights I won't be winning

and of course I'll be your ultimate hustler I was trained for

mentally be stronger beat the best and get paid for

the world is this kid is scared of nothing'

no matter what you showed me I've seen worse

the point is I wanna be a leader now

I was never scared to die, f**k you the world is mine

Wake up kid it's not your time to go...

Wake up kid it's now the time to show

The whole world what you came for, go it's your payback (bis)

Now I never look back I'm just happy I made it

life owed me a favour I'm just happy she paid it

came from the bottom of bottom straight to the top of the top

now I'm enjoying every moment of it like if it was my last

now I never look back I'm just happy I made it

life owed me a favour I'm just happy she paid it

came from the bottom of bottom straight to the top

of the top let me sleep if I'm dreaming so they can't take me back
