slaine - do what you love lyrics

[verse 1]
a glimpse of time from a photograph faded
boyhood dreams discovered, look at i made it
along the way becoming crooked and hated, for my music was maybe part of what it took to create it
old girl, cold world may have made me jaded
drugs made me crazy, but i stayed creative
when there was no heat pumping from my radiators
that was my golden era, something like my ‘88rs
to all my shady neighbors, gangsters and the mental patients i was surrounded by, thanks for the inspiration
anxious, intensive pacing
i wrote a dozen records
and risked everything i had like it wasn’t reckless
for years i thought that i was happy doing drugs and exes
sipping whiskey ‘til dawn and drinking punch for breakfast
a new day is here, i’m through with the drugs
but i had a premonition tell me “do what you love”

[hook]
i ain’t got to tell you how to chase your dreams
if that fire’s burning deep inside you just believe
and do what you love
just do what you love

[verse 2]
i’ve seen money come and go, both success and some fame
i let failure but stress in my brain
yeah, i’ve been g-ssed up and slept on and slept on the train
it’s been years i’ve been etching my name
in this game where i kept on the same steps when enemies came
off the deep end to leave friends on memory lane
through the p-ssage of the past, i was mastering my craft
as a street kid i dreamed big and then it became
i spent my whole life chasing my art
trying to beat the same odds i had faced from the start
even though my world was crumbling and breaking my heart
i put broken pieces together just to take them apart. d-mn
what a path that i took, it’s been an ill journey
and through it all, i got a p-ssion that is still burning
it’s hard to change when they knew what you was
but anything is possible when you do what you love

[hook]
i ain’t got to tell you how to chase your dreams
if that fire’s burning deep inside you just believe
and do what you love
just do what you love

[verse 3]
what can i say? i got a new lease and life is good
got a future looking bright just like it should
‘cause i’ve been sober over a year today
and it only gets better from here they say
i dropped the guilt i was carrying and taking uphill
got a new piece of mind, they don’t make in a pill
plus i got rid of the hatred and the waking up ill
can it last? i don’t know, but i have faith that it will
and this morning i awoke with the sunrise
and found the strength and the hope in my son’s eyes
all those knots in my stomach, they got untied
i used to have none, these are some skies
and this is some life from here that we on
now i’m right back where i belong
in the booth with the mic and my truth, telling you what it was
time moves fast and i’m just trying to do what i love

[hook]
i ain’t got to tell you how to chase your dreams
if that fire’s burning deep inside you just believe
and do what you love
just do what you love
