Lost my way Fell down a hole No-ones gonna come And save my soul Lost my way No going back I'm stuck right here, and that is that Lost my way Fell down a hole No-ones gonna come And save my soul Lost my way No going back I'm stuck right here, and that is that Look around this manor and all you will see Its ill manor people with there manors in there ill It's the manor person you've ever met in your manor Or whatever your likely to meet in any manor 'cause this manors deep You judge them on the life that they lead But then its not all as black and white as it seems There all some way enslaved in their circumstances Shape the way the behave on there battle on the street That's why these kids ain't got no hope, Walking round their estates thinking this is it They ain't ever getting out and it's no joke Probably is the best their lives is ever gonna get They don't believe they can succeed Or the opportunities you say are back there really exist 'Cause they've been told from every day from the minute They were born by there fucked up parents that they ain't shit Mum and dad never made nothin' of them selves Na, so why the hell are they gonna? Schools a waste of time, they're only gonna fail Their older brother went to jail, why ain't they gonna? I mean the hang with thugs, they sell drugs Ain't afraid to put a couple slugs in you if you say something They ain't all that way but you don't care either way To you they're all just the same a bunch of fucking- Used to the rap everyday Looking for the devils pain The young souls that went astray Listen and you'll hear them say Lost my way (lost my way) Fell down a hole (fell down a hole) No-ones gonna come (no-ones gonna come) And save my soul (and save my soul) Lost my way (lost my way) No going back (no going back) I'm stuck right here (I'm stuck right here) And that is that (and that is that) God said let there be light created Adam and Eve Then he gave them eyes and told them both to both believe Something they'd actually physically see And then the devil came along and planted a seed And down started growing from the ground like trees Right up to the sky so profoundly seen To be the only thing in this life that wasn't a dream Made from stone, steel and iron beams The council blocks, they defined the man And bullied the sky so everybody could see Some birds were caged and will never be free And gradually people began to change there beliefs Until god was nothing more than just a fictional being The worship and money merged all colors and creed Into one true religion that was driven by greed Corporate machines trying to sell you shit you don't need On television and the ad breaks in between Until people only cared about material things Not lives with other fellow human beings And I'm guilty of it to or so it seems Lost my way (lost my way) Fell down a hole (fell down a hole) No-ones gonna come (no-ones gonna come) And save my soul (and save my soul) Lost my way (lost my way) No going back (no going back) I'm stuck right here (I'm stuck right here) And that is that (and that is that) Lost my way (lost my way) Fell down a hole (fell down a hole) No-ones gonna come (no-ones gonna come) And save my soul (and save my soul) Lost my way (lost my way) No going back (no going back) I'm stuck right here (I'm stuck right here) And that is that (and that is that) If you don't believe in something, then you'll fall for anything And if that happens then you've lost your way If you don't believe in something, then you'll fall for anything And if that happens then you've lost your way If you don't believe in something, then you'll fall for anything And if that happens then you've lost your way If you don't believe in something, then you'll fall for anything And if that happens then you've lost your way If you don't believe in something, then you'll fall for anything Don't believe in something, then you'll fall for anything Don't believe in something, then you'll fall for anything Fall for anything, fall for anything Don't believe in something, then you'll fall for anything Don't believe in something, then you'll fall for anything Don't believe in something, then you'll fall for anything Fall for anything, fall for anything
