A Backward Tale Lyrics by Timel the Samurai

Way of the Samurai II

2023

[Intro]
Yeah
Samurai Baby!
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
Listen, let me tell you a little story
With a little twist you’ve never heard
I’ll be telling it from the back like the mangas that I’ve read
The story how we lost a life to drugs, replaying every action
From the moment he had dropped, teni’s words to the medic
Replaying from the back, saying help need I hello
His phone returned to lock, the foams and blood
Returning to Lukе’ mouth, he rose from the floor
And thеn he landed on the couch, he put the pills back
Relaxing on his back, then Teni did the same, picked the soda that he dropped and brought it to his mouth, spitting back the sip he took
His actions in reverse, then James be getting sober
He’s returning from his high, tossing back the drugs he took
They all getting up, walking backwards to the door
Down the stairs, to the car, reversing up the street
To the video games store, they heading back inside
Waving backwards to the clerk, now teni’s facing Luke
And James went out the door, he’s getting in his car
Retracing all his tracks, the clock in the shop
It’s dials returned a while, from 5 to 1
Teni heading out the shop, he’s moving back first
He’s pulling out his phone, a text be coming in
From James that says, high get all let’s
Be playing from the past, beginning our tale, let’s go
[Part II]
[Verse 2]
You drowning all that pain through the mollies and the percs
You always drinking liquor like you want to end it all
Mentality degrading faster than a message drops
Mortality is single, you only living once
No matter what the troubles, only Heaven has it all
Consuming every darkness will never seem enough
You say you gat a friend but he handed you a blunt
You say you gat a brother but he wants to see you fall
When you think about yourself, it’s just failure in human form
The strength you have within is stronger than that drug
The life you live is borrowed, prolly heard it more than once
I know that you can make it, may the angels stop your fall
