BACKTRACK Lyrics by SOCIAL STATE

2016

[Chorus]

I’m riding round the city with my homies
Everything disastrous, like it’s Chernobyl
Cash flow low and everybody owes me
Stuck in my mind and it’s ever so lonely
What happened to the times that we would have
Now I work late and get the bus back
I can barely afford a bus pass
Now I sit at home, thinking how to backtrack

[Verse 1]

I’m backtracking, rapping with Rat Boy backing
Music doesn’t pay much, but it’s just a passion
I think back to when times were easier
I don’t believe the bullshit that’s in the media
Now I need to clear my mind now
I think I need to take some time out
Now what is my life about
I think I’m struggling to find out

[Chorus]

I’m riding round the city with my homies
Everything disastrous, like it’s Chernobyl
Cash flow low and everybody owes me
Stuck in my mind and it’s ever so lonely
What happened to the times that we would have
Now I work late and get the bus back
I can barely afford a bus pass
Now I sit at home, thinking how to backtrack

[Verse 2]

Now I’m on my way to the party
Money low, empty wallet
Clear my mind of its conscience
Glass of coke, double vodka
Uh, it tastes like shit
What kind of life is this
I might text this chick
Because I find her quiet fit (fit)

[Chorus x2]

I’m riding round the city with my homies
Everything disastrous, like it’s Chernobyl
Cash flow low and everybody owes me
Stuck in my mind and it’s ever so lonely
What happened to the times that we would have
Now I work late and get the bus back
I can barely afford a bus pass
Now I sit at home, thinking how to backtrack

[Outro]

Lyrics too often difficult to make out
But often carry a sinister message
