Текст песни A Piece of String - Cam Thomas

Throughout the years yeah it may seem like I've changed the most
But I'm the same kid at heart
I barely know where to start man
But getting started is all that matters
And that I ain't ever had a problem with
I'm tryna show my future kids that this was worth it
In retrospect I learnt a lot from my endeavors for real
One on ones with Spenc no telling what my record was still
That boy a go-getter
So now I'm never backing down cause I don't know better
That's how you know the message was real
See all them older at practise but difference is we eye to eye now
On some hi and bye shit
You ain't my idol nor my rival
Guess that's the way life goes when you chase more than survival
Respectfully, even back then they respected me that shits mutual
Time passes playing fields level competition strengthens
That's when Jamie went and dropped my name a mention
And you know that we went in, made the cut
Hooping was my hustle weren't no question really

Life's a piece of string
No telling how long that's gon be, trust me
I'm tryna see my people eat, pray with me
May we never lose a brother to the street
If I gave you hope, would you believe
If you hear it sing it
Life's a piece of string
No telling how long that's gon be
Why are we here if we ain't gon dream
Go and leave your mark on the world and that's for the family
Don't let nobody question what you can be cause our days are numbered

Now it's me, Kian, Mo and SB
Trips to practise that's twice weekly
The most responsibility that we was faced with
Was which tracks we should add to the playlist when it was our turn
You won't be surprised who spun that MJ and Prince
Man got dropped and hit the buttons been going dumb ever since
Sometimes the worst things happen at what seem like the worst of times
Little do we know what clock God works on
And who are we to question him
Different time zone and see the jet lag yeah it hurts sometimes
Marvel Kingz round the time I started writing nursery rhymes
Me Babs, T and L Weezy
Knew one of us was destined for TV
See me I lost that race but not last place I'm still working
Home videos to home studios
Still got all of those demos on the hotmail
Had no logic but had the audacity to get it done regardless
Hearts up on the sweater now but
Back then we was moving heartless

Life's a piece of string
No telling how long that's gon be, trust me
I'm tryna see my people eat, pray with me
May we never lose a brother to the street
If I gave you hope, would you believe
If you hear it sing it
Life's a piece of string
No telling how long that's gon be
Why are we here if we ain't gon dream
Go and leave your mark on the world and that's for the family
Don't let nobody question what you can be cause our days are numbered

First time I stepped in a booth man that shit was surreal
Mum or dad waiting outside for the hour because
That's all I could afford with my allowance
But still scraped together enough to go put a mixtape together
I'm talking like 2010 or '11 who knows
They say you should water grass where it's most green and it grows
And if I knew that back then the situation might be different
But trust me I done lived a lot of lives so I'm indifferent
That's just history, little did you know the first engineer
I recorded with is still doing his thing in the city
For artists chances are your spinning on a daily basis
Some real familiar faces
If I don't take that shit full circle well I'll be damned
I just hope my efforts ain't a fools errand
Even if that takes a cool second
Cause at the end of the day man all we got is time
And time ain't infinite so relish in the moment cause it flies
Sing it with me I said

Life's a piece of string
No telling how long that's gon be, trust me
I'm tryna see my people eat, pray with me
May we never lose a brother to the street
If I gave you hope, would you believe
If you hear it sing it
Life's a piece of string
No telling how long that's gon be
Why are we here if we ain't gon dream
Go and leave your mark on the world and that's for the family
Don't let nobody question what you can be cause our days are numbered

Life's a piece of string no telling how long that's gon be
Yeah, make the most of that shit man
