Brave Lyrics by Lethal Dialect

1988

2014

[Intro]

See on the come up, you're met with disbelief and disdain
Become critically acclaimed and you're conceited and vain
The Doors said it best, people are strange..
They treat you like a stranger and take offense then when they're treated the same
They say a picture paints a thousand words
My palette paints the words that paint a thousand pictures
Once a beat is arranged
I put my soul on these lines but some secrets remain
Like the reason why I need a fucking scenery change
And have to recharge, my batteries depleted and drained
See a different world from 40,000 feet on a plane
Some of my uncles last words now are deeply ingrained
Like the scars I obtained in that heated exchange
He said 'your power is your talent, your weapon is your pen
The hate is motivation, let success be your revenge'
So what's the meaning of my name? Ain't no need to explain
When you approve another emcee, its my name you're speaking in vain, i'm Lethal..

[Hook: Damien Dempsey]
Oh brave uncle, I know..
That we will meet again, don't know where or when
Oh brave uncle, go..
Can't stand to see your pain, we will meet again

[Verse 2]
A wise man once said seek and you'll find
I been searching for the answers now or even a sign
See I was tryna find the words to be easing your mind
But it was like the blind leading the blind
And though you'd never admit it, you were scared what you were leaving behind
Because there's people that depend on you to keep them in line
And all the years we didn't speak we wish that we could rewind
But when you're busy living, ain't nobody keeping the time
Cause life is too short, I watched you pass and seen how fast it ends
This second now could be the last we spend
And by the time we comprehend that second's already passed
And we may never see the future and we'll never see the past again
For no rhyme or reason, that's the reason I rhyme
Why I work hard rain, hail, freezing or shine
You said 'It ain't about the dreaming Paulie, dreaming is fine
But getting to them's the achievement'
So i'm reaching for mine in your memory

[Hook]

[Intelude: Uncle Joe]

[Verse 3]
Remember the Morris Minor that you blatantly stole
The judge said that you were breaking parole
You said you'd no other place to go and then started playing a role
I wasn't stealing it, just tryna get away from the cold..
See it wasn't just your stories it was the way they were told
Every punchline was sold and every statement was bold
I'm gonna make them know your name Joe i've made it my goal
Cause you were worth your weight in gold and thats straight from the soul
And when they told you things were looking bleak
And said you'd be becoming weak over these coming weeks
You said 'i'm keeping all these tumors to myself and won't be sharing the wealth'
And that was you, even in the face of death still tongue in cheek..
I was tryna find the words to say to console
You were still fighting on, though it was taking its toll
We were cut from the same cloth, we were shaped from the same mould
See you again one day when i'm old..and not too young least I hope..

[Hook]

[Outro: Damien Dempsey/John Reynolds]
