Lets put it like this
It's a shame, the love for power money and fame
Hungry for the lime light
Well, I'd rather starve and keep my sight
Keep my eyes, and see in the dark
Too many in this world are lost from the start
No way to go
A one way road, a dead end meets you
Look into the black and there
The faces of death greet you
A murky wilderness
Trapped where devils and cats feed you
Gloomy and grey, and still everybody sees you
You're in the lime light
Burned, scorched and blinded
Rough and rugged, deaf and dumb
Searching for nothing to find
And no turning back
At last you can't unwind it, rewind it
Design it once more
I'm telling you, it's done
Death's coming for you, no knocking at heaven's door
The cries of the poor have
Entered into the ears of their maker
You partaker of evil and wicked people
All for a meager, unbelievable, feeble, weasel of a pay
It'll catch up with ya one day
Catch ya, catch ya
It'll catch up with ya one day
Catch ya, catch ya
It'll catch up with ya one day
It'll catch up with ya one day
Catch ya, catch ya
It'll catch up with ya one day
Catch ya, catch ya
It'll catch up with ya one day
Catch ya, catch ya
It'll catch up with ya one day
Catch ya, catch ya
It'll catch up with ya one day
Life is cruel sometimes
I exploit the youth and pollute their minds
I do what I want to do
I like this life, like the cars, like the pace
Like the clothes, like the power, money and fame
Cash my checks, count my cash
Pile stacks and keep my change
What am I doing? what do I see?
Where am I going? where will I be?
30 years from now, walking down
This empty street, lonely, slowly
Dying on the inside, a candle with no flame
Melting with the power, money and fame
But burning for the same
I did it once, I'll do it twice, I'd do it again
With the words we write, the things we say
The things we do, we see society change
The world moves up and down
Side to side, round and round it goes
My mind is twisted
I can't fix it, but I wish I could
I know I can't, I'm stuck on doing
Bad instead of doing good
If I could I wouldn't turn back
I'll keep treading this path that I walk now
And still laugh and those that ain't got jack
How can I do it?
How can I feel when I'm heartless
I live in mansions
Others sleep on dirty carpets, I can careless
Let them scavenge food out my garbage
Let them cry, all needy and helpless
And they say it's gonna catch up with me
Wait, someone's here and
He's standing at my doorstep
Who are you?
One that shall not be named
But be it known to you that I'm the one that's loved you
Stuck by you to give you your name
The money, the glory, to give you the fame
The time has come, there's no tomorrow for you
What will you do now
Stand proud, young man
You've done a great work for the master
Now quickly come, this is no laughing matter
You see, son, you've had one shot, one life
Lost with maps and road signs, thrown to the wind
With one hand and two dice you took a chance
Thinking life is a gamble
Now your life is in shambles
Won't ramble on, won't call you friend, won't call you enemy
But one thing is clear, two things are easy to see
You've received your reward and sealed your destiny
And they would say
That it would always catch up with ya one day
It'll catch up with ya one day
Catch ya, catch ya
It'll catch up with ya one day
Catch ya, catch ya
It'll catch up with ya one day
It'll catch up with ya one day
Catch ya, catch ya
It'll catch up with ya one day
Catch ya, catch ya
It'll catch up with ya one day
Catch ya, catch ya
It'll catch up with ya one day
Catch ya, catch ya
It'll catch up with ya one day
