As Time Goes By Lyrics

As Time Goes By by Devlin

As Time Goes By Lyrics

Year of Release: 2008
Devlin
    • I'm fed up with life at the minute
    • So I get it off my chest when I'm writing my lyrics
    • Having to give my Nan hospital visits
    • I just pray to God she don't turn to a spirit
    • Cause she's the only Nan I've got left
    • And it hurts in my head when I contemplate her death
    • Knowing that one day soon she'll be gone
    • That thought leaves me short of breath
    • Yeah that's just one of the things
    • That makes me feel like I'm running in rings
    • No process made that's a regular thing
    • But if I stop spitting that would be the death of a king
    • I've got to learn to focus my mind at the lowest of times
    • Then lo and behold the scene could be mine
    • Draw you a picture with words I describe with a caption beside
Hook
    • As life goes by, in the blink of an eye
    • I stay focused on writing my rhymes
    • These streets are inviting to crime
    • If I didn't write music I'd probably go mad in my mind
    • Because it's only music that keeps me sane
    • Plus bud and beers to forget the pain
    • Just reflecting my days go away
Smasher
    • Let me tell another story, tell about a 23 year old man that don't wanna' fail
    • Every move he makes his heart's in it, from the start to the finish
    • Because losing ain't never ever been an option
    • Constantly cooking up plans and concoctions
    • Raised in a place called Hoxton
    • By his Nan and granddad, gets to see his mum on a weekend
    • That was a treat then she was spoilt rotten and then its back to the east then
    • Years later man will be sick with a big pen
    • Living in a place where the youths strap big lens
    • Pure drama a star performer leave the boost so hot u could call it a sauna
    • 10 out of 10 I'm back at it again whatever the outcome its music to the end
Hook
    • As life goes by, in the blink of an eye
    • I stay focused on writing my rhymes
    • These streets are inviting to crime
    • If I didn't write music I'd probably go mad in my mind
    • Because it's only music that keeps me sane
    • Plus bud and beers to forget the pain
    • Just reflecting my days go away
Devlin
    • Just another day in the life this music ain't paying me right
    • Like a worker at MacDonald's receiving minimum wage
    • I get pennies for the shit that I've write on the pages
    • Like I'm feeling so what in slaved due to power and urban decay
    • There ain't no prospects in the UK today
    • So my mates keep playing up the 'caine
    • I don't know what I stand in the struggling and strain
    • I'm trapped in the thunder and rain
    • But I don't give a fuck for the fame so if I full pray to my sins then lust is to blame
    • I'm in your ear like blood in your veins
    • And yeah I'm on the road like buskers and trains
    • I'm just like everyone I love to be paid
    • I'm messed up it must be the bud that I blaze
    • There ain't nothing for us
    • The way I'm feeling there ain't no word in the thesaurus
    • Born on the 7th of may I'm a Taurus
    • Can't keep my job cause I can't take orders
    • I feel like I'm outside of the borders
    • Looking inside of the rich and the borders then I take a look around my headquarters
    • And I'm ripping my hair out soon my heads gonna' look like Gail Porter's
    • They hit us with extortion and treat illegal immigrants much more important than me and you
    • Cause I've lived there all my life and live got nothing to show for it
    • And you can't get rich from work so spitting I've gotta' have a really good go at it
    • I've put my boat in the stream and now I keep rowing it it's my dream I won't let go of it
Hook
  • As life goes by, in the blink of an eye
  • I stay focused on writing my rhymes
  • These streets are inviting to crime
  • If I didn't write music I'd probably go mad in my mind
  • Because it's only music that keeps me sane
  • Plus bud and beers to forget the pain
  • Just reflecting my days go away
