ichiban - twenty two lyrics

[intro: voice samples]
suddenly (suddenly)
yes-yesterday (be coming back)
su-suddenly (suddenly)
yes-yesterday (be coming back)

twenty-two years ago to keep it on track

[verse 1: ichiban]
on that grind from moonlight to sunshine
combining a little chemistry to unwind
we’re all tied to our own vices
sh-t, i’m twenty-two and at a midlife crisis
stabbin’ internal demons with an ice pick
that it [?] tryin’ to post my soul on a price list
always at limit left lifeless
far from right just wanna live righteous
but might just succ-mb to my temptations
losin’ virtues runnin’ out of patience
swan divin’ head first into destruction
could spontaneously burst in combustion
on the verge of blowin’ up i can sense it
frustrations are vented through the pen’s tip
let it all spill out on the table top
tired of sittin’ in the same old spots
need to make moves to better my positionin’
need some luck out of this well i been wishin’ in
i got nuttin’ to lose and everything to gain
so i seize the day to try and ease the pain
free my brain from a state of turmoil
‘fore it’s ashes to ashes back to the earth’s soil
no matter what it’s like it is what it will be
full speed ahead live life ’till it k!lls me
yesterdays keep coming back over the years
gallons of blood, buckets of sweat, an ocean of tears
shed skin, fixated with escapism
‘cuz city limits can seem like a state prison

[turntablism: dj tense]

[chorus: ichiban & voice sample]
suddenly yesterdays keep coming back
now i’m runnin’ runnin’ but i’m trapped
on a journey that began…
twenty-two years ago to keep it on track
suddenly yesterdays keep coming back
now i’m runnin’ runnin’ but i’m trapped
on a journey that began…
twenty-two years ago to keep it on track

[verse 2: ichiban]
average dream takes pedal to the floor mat
i gotta push some pressure off of the thorax
live it up although the lifestyle’s hazardous
don’t wanna have to -ssess the damages
dwell among savages that are ravenous
need lettuce for leverage but lack the cabbages
collaborating with have-not advocates
it’s where my p-ssion is and why i write these p-ssages
shed a little light on the shadow
it’s me myself versus i in this battle
don’t wanna be another lost soul in a fox hole
become a pile of forgotten fossiles
years disappearing into thin air
now i’m lookin’ at my lil’ bro like i been there
done that for what seems like it’s been a lifetime
mind’s like a finger tracin’ back the timeline
how many are just like me on the same tip
grateful that it’s been one long strange trip
so far so good time i up the status
take the madness all over the atlas
see just how much i can push the limits
going all out, i’m in it ‘till the finish
no other way than to take life as it comes
a heavy load to bear, this rifle weighs a ton
one false move and it might pop off
got down, got up, got found, got lost
but everything led me to where i’m at now
suddenly yesterdays keep comin’ back ‘round

[turntablism: dj tense]
