I've been here for a period of time

I've been here for a period of time
So long that my brain has gone delirious inside
I think back on all the years that i've survived
Holding back the tears that keep appearing in my eyes

But now i'm yesterday's news
And i'm tomorrows promise
But i've got my mince pies 
Open wide trying to visualise
Devils in disguise

Devz i'm like Picasso coz i've been through every shade of blue
I'm walking under rainy skies but the flame never died
It stayed alight
Coz i was made to ignight
Like dynamite 
I'm from the cold with heavy might
I'm ridin' tight notice flows slip and slide
Like a tyre in the snow coz there ain't no grip on ice

I'm cold int the Moscow and it's minus 29
So welcome to my life
I've cleverly designed minds
Lost souls just trying to live the higher life

I've been here so long
Through the sadness and the blues
But it's funny how i'm still here
With the government and yesterday news

I've been here so long
Through the sadness and the blues
But it's funny how i'm still here
With the government and yesterday news

Devlin, i'm dangerous i'm dead guys
And every week forgotten like yesterday's headlines
I've been through the blues
Just like elvis' best time
But i ain't wearing swade shoes
I've just got hte best rhymes

I refuse to die, 
You could attempt to kill me twenty times
But i'll still rise like i'm the day walker Wesley Snipes
So let me stick my teeth into the game
And bleed it dry when i witness bloof seeking through his vains

This has become apparent
Ive got a talent that these other rappers have'nt
So what would be the point of bloody keeping it in chrains
I'm not sure what you think about my rhymes
But when i'm talking about

So cut the conversation
Coz i've been lower rating taking anything i'm pleasing
Taking off the aviation
To a better place in time
Better for leaving this place behind

I've been here so long
Through the sadness and the blues
But it's funny how i'm still here
With the government and yesterday news

I've been here so long
Through the sadness and the blues
But it's funny how i'm still here
With the government and yesterday news

I can't see no reason why i can't retain success
I just need a real good time away from all this stress
I can't see no reason why i can't retain success
I just need a real good time away from all this stress

I've been here so long
Through the sadness and the blues
But it's funny how i'm still here
With the government and yesterday news

I've been here so long
Through the sadness and the blues
But it's funny how i'm still here
With the government and yesterday news
