Yob One - Goldbars & Gunsmoke
Lyrics:
[Intro]
I’ve been around for some time
learned lessons the hard way
You remind me of when I was a kid
and I wanna save you some mistakes
I can tell that you’re naive
you have that same spark of kindness
an innocence in your eyes
that the world will aim to take away
[Vese I]
Travel from city to city
learn the customs before you greet
break the rules when necessary
not just because you can
Boredom is a funny thing
leads to crimes and killings
you think you’d be satisfied
but it’s never a good feeling
They all looking for freedom
a commodity rarer than gold
just a bit of greed and trouble finds ya
kid, don’t sell your soul
Make peace with death
don’t keep your heart in your boots
the slightest fear slows you down
when you have to shoot
when you have to shoot
[Chorus]
I have travelled
far and wide
I have tried
and tried
many times, many times
while trying to find what is right
I have done many wrongs
left them behind
but they linger on
don’t make the same mistakes
the same mistakes
[Verse II]
It’s not about the cards you’re dealt
or your ability to gamble & bluff
The aim of the game is to stay alive not to win
guns start talking when a player goes bust
When your head has got a price
you trigger respect and fear
more people are tryna kill ya
These hunters don’t know who you are
so increase the bounty, will ya?
The past is always chasing you
it shows up in different faces
so cherish the moments of laughter
cause you never know what comes after
[Chorus]
I have travelled
far and wide
I have tried
and failed
many times, many times
don’t make the same mistakes
the same mistakes
[Verse III]
while we’re here talking,
I wanna to hear you say:
“I swear to try & keep my kindness
and a bullet won’t be my death”
to understand all I’ve told you
you’ll need a whole lifetime
here come a bunch of gringos, boy
they started the game, let’s play
[Chorus]
I have travelled
far and wide
I have tried
and tried
many times, many times
while trying to find what is right
I have done many wrongs
left them all behind
but they linger on
don’t make the same mistakes
the same mistakes
