Everything Once - Slaine, Rite Hook

I guess I’m anti social

Anti trolling and ass kissing

I’m too official for brash dissin'

For fast listens

My pedigrees different

That of a tactician

An assassin to mash you with fists in

Then leave your stash missing

In the tradition

Of dishing out ass whippings

I’m itching to smash — you get

The gift of a cracked vision

I got a new vendetta

My shoulders are that chipped in

When you never been better

Your flow is just back shifting

And changing

They say that you changed

Like you lost your hunger

When you made it through pain

The same people that hated you

Degraded you threw shade at your name

Full of bitter lies to criticize

The way that you came

I’m too creative to claim

I should be fading away

This life I built outta the rubble

Wasn’t made in a day

I had fight harder tougher

Even suffer for it

Fuck awards

Every inch I struggled for

Made me love it more

That struck a chord fuck its

Something To recover for

Buckle down and hustle

Even on the days I wasn’t sure

Give it everything I got

Nothing less nothing more

All’s fair in love and war love and war

As if God said it

You can only be what you earn

But I’m hard headed

And I guess that you bleed and you learn

I been waiting for the fuel needed

For me to return

As if fire ever needed

A new reason to burn

I got a lot of life to lose

And I know what it’s like to lose

Everything Once

Oh when I came back

I broke the rules

So here we go again

Back into this madness here

I guess I’m addicted

To playing with fate

It’s like the beat of a drum

Is all I have to hear

For me to be numb

From everything I hate

It’s been too many years down this

Rabbit hole here

I just cant find no other way to escape

I know the world is insane

So I keep swirling the drain

But fuck it maybe

That’s what drives me to create

I been an outsider

Outta the gate

Colliding with hate

My pride and mistakes

Smacked me in the side of the face

But I didn’t fold

Cause I wouldn’t break

I didn’t have a dollar to borrow

Or a tomorrow to waste

I know I know pride yeah

Such a horrible taste

To have to swallow mine

And find another bottom to scrape

Maybe I’m outta time

Or luck and stuck brawling with faith

But I guess this is how it feels

When you’re falling from grace

I was a king once

King Kong in his kingdom

Bells I would ring them

Hell I would bring some

I rode it till the wheels fell off

Just a shell with no engine

Take a look around and

You been done

Done

But nah I’m still alive

If I could properly describe

The way that I feel inside

Its unstoppable fire

When the black sun fell

In a world with no skies

But now I’m back from hell

I got a lot of life to lose

And I know what it’s like to lose

Everything Once

Oh when I came back

I broke the rules
