Everything Once

[Verse 1: Slaine]
I guess I'm anti-social, anti-trolling and ass-kissing
I'm too official for brash dissing for fast listens
My pedigree's different, that of a tactician
An assassin to mash you with fists, leave your stash missing
In the tradition of dishing out ass-whippings
I'm itching to smash, you get the gift of a - vision
I got a new vendetta, my shoulders are that chipped
And when you've never been better, your flow is just back-shifting and changing
They say that you've changed, like you lost your hunger when you made it through pain
The same people that hated you, degraded you, threw shade at your name
Full of bitter lies, to criticize the way that you came
I'm too creative to claim, I should be fading away
This life I built out of the rubble wasn't made in a day
I had to fight harder, tougher, even suffered for it, fuck awards
Every inch I struggled for made me love it more
This struck a chord, fuck it, something to recover for
Buckle down and hustle, even on the days I wasn't sure
Give it everything I got, nothing less, nothing more, all's fair in love and war
As if God said it, you can only be what you earn
But I'm hard-headed, I guess you gotta bleed and you learn
I been waiting for the fuel needed for me to return
As if fire ever needed a new reason to burn

[Hook: Rite Hook]
I got a lotta life to lose
And I know what it's like to lose
Everything once, oh
When I came back, I broke the rules

[Verse 2: Slaine]
So here we go again, back into this madness here
I guess I'm addicted to playing with this fate
It's like the beat of a drum is all I have to hear
For me to be numb from everything I hate
It's been too many years down this rabbit hole here
I just can't find no other way to escape
I know the world is insane, so I keep swirling the drain
But fuck it, maybe that's what drives me to create
I been an outsider out of the gate, colliding with hate
My pride and mistakes smacked me in the side of my face
But I didn't fall 'cause I wouldn't break
I didn't have a dollar to borrow or a tomorrow to waste
I know, I know pride, yeah, it's such a horrible taste
To have to swallow mine and find another bottom to scrape
Maybe I'm out of time and luck, and stuck brawling with faith
I guess this is how it feels when you're falling from grace
To be a king once, King Kong is his kingdom
Bells, I would ring them, hell, I would bring some
I rode it 'til the wheels fell off, a shell with no engine
Take a look around and you been done
Nah, but I'm still alive
If I could properly describe the way that I feel inside
In unstoppable fire when the black sun fell
In a world with no skies, now I'm back from Hell

[Hook: Rite Hook] (x2)
I got a lotta life to lose
And I know what it's like to lose
Everything once, oh
When I came back, I broke the rules
