21 Grams - Thundamentals, Queensland Symphony Orchestra

Did you ever believe, yeah

This life owes you more than you have?

Try take it from me, no-oh

Got nothing to lose but 21 grams, uh-huh

Just let it all go (Oh-ho), don’t fuck with your man (Ah-ha)

When the weight of a soul (Yeah-hair) just 21 grams (Ah-hoo)

Just let it all go (Oh-ho), send love to your fam (Ah-ha)

When the weight of a soul (Yeah-hair) just 21 grams

It ain’t but 21 grams, ain’t but 21 grams

Just 21 grams

Cheah

One life here to foster, no time here to squander

Grew wiser and stronger, yet still tryna conjure a little ray of sunshine in a

Quagmire

For the prize on offer, we divide and we conquer

If I fight any longer I’ma start looking like all my rivals and in time will

give rise to a monster

Gotta be more to life than sort of like every morning rise and shine

I wanna see all the lights on tour life then immortalised in time

What’s the weight of a human soul?

Does it change if bruised or old?

Famine or fame, man, it’s all the same, that’s what you stand to gain vs.

lose it all

All that glitters ain’t gold, what’s royal is loyalty shown to your fam

What’s the weight of your soul?

They say it nuttin' but 21 grams

Slow dance with the devil, he asked for my signature written in blood

I won’t bow to that level, know I can do better in death, hope my spirits

arisen above

But, yo, will I be judged on the good and the bad that I’ve done in my life?

When I’m writing these songs, I’m righting my wrongs, that’s how it feels with

each word I recite

Like I’m earning the right to be making amends, apologies given to all of my

friends

If ever I dissed you know that I didn’t mean to offend

Did you ever believe, yeah

This life owes you more than you have?

Try take it from me, no-oh

Got nothing to lose but 21 grams, uh-huh

Just let it all go (Oh-ho), don’t fuck with your man (Ah-ha)

When the weight of a soul (Yeah-hair) just 21 grams (Ah-hoo)

Just let it all go (Oh-ho), send love to your fam (Ah-ha)

When the weight of a soul (Yeah-hair) just 21 grams

It ain’t but 21 grams, ain’t but 21 grams

Just 21 grams

And I

Can’t help but feel a little blessed like yes, I’ma do it better than the best

I can

I’ma get it in with whatever I have like damn by chance

Do you wanna take my hand?

Do you wanna dance in the middle of the street like

me?

Side step it to the left of the centre ‘cause I’ve never been a fan of that

right wing bullshit and negativity

Check it, I don’t mean to preach, this is not an anthem, Tuka’s on a rant let

me pen a bit of peace, fuck a hand gun

If your head’s buried in the sand then understand I’m just tryna get a bit of

free in me

Get a bit of free in me, dive deep, sightseeing the earth on cloud nine

Dreaming free as a bird, try to focus when the scenery blurs

Bringing life into this world’s like bringing a grain of sand to the beach, but

Thing is that this little girl’s like ten point five grams of you and me, love

Everythin' from our past is passed on, it survived, it’s alive in our daughter

You ever think there’s a link when we pass on?

She might have passed on five

and a quarter

Immortalised, I thought that I had everything I wanted

It all was lies, there’s more to life, couldn’t put my finger on it

My daughter’s eyes, I see my parents, see your parents too

Apparent when you stare into her eyes and she got a pair like you

Did you ever believe, yeah

This life owes you more than you have?

Try take it from me, no-oh

Got nothing to lose but 21 grams, uh-huh

Just let it all go (Oh-ho), don’t fuck with your man (Ah-ha)

When the weight of a soul (Yeah-hair) just 21 grams (Ah-hoo)

Just let it all go (Oh-ho), send love to your fam (Ah-ha)

When the weight of a soul (Yeah-hair) just 21 grams

It ain’t but 21 grams, ain’t but 21 grams

Just 21 grams

Just 21 grams

Did you ever believe, yeah

This life owes you more than you have?

Try take it from me, no-oh

Got nothing to lose but 21 grams
