[00:00.000]	作词 : ¡Mayday!
[00:00.015]	作曲 : ¡Mayday!
[00:00.30][Verse 1: Bernz]
[00:00.30]	Where do I start? I have mo' lives than I can count
[00:04.23]	Had one too many all nighters, Out here surfin' these crowds
[00:07.81]	And it's hard to remember names when erryday' you wake up in a different town
[00:11.85]	So be careful what you wishin' for, when you think noones around
[00:15.50]	Got a first contract, on that contact ha, still blows my mind
[00:20.69]	Had to became more, than became worldwide, hold up
[00:24.09]	Man I went too far, gotta' go back to the start
[00:26.83]	Raps in the car, beats in the garage, and rats in the walls
[00:29.71]	Never knew another crew iller than ours, we on course
[00:33.20]	Not with a few detours, but on the way I lost faith in my idols
[00:37.65]	Found Wrek damn near suicidal, see we both seen things that'll make a thief sing like a angel in a church revival
[00:43.32]	So we did a few shows and we did a few tours, to ensure our own personal survival
[00:48.18]	This for my shortcuts and my dead ends, and my dead friends, and my demons, and my lack of feelins' this evenin'
[00:54.81]	I've been meanin' to do this, been busy makin' these hits
[00:58.44]	See we just some neighborhood kids tryin' to live our dreams out in this bitch
[01:02.07]	And I probably won't stop till' I'm rich, and I know that sounds selfish
[01:06.12]	Spent so much time on my muuuuse, that my girls always jealous
[01:10.02]	In the end I'm probably gonna' have some regrets
[01:12.43]	But they won't outshine my attempts
[01:14.42]	When it's all said and done we ain't here that long
[01:16.44]	Better get your feet wet!
[01:18.59]
[01:18.83][Hook]
[01:32.01]	I'm treading water in the deep end
[01:35.85]	I'm tryin' to kill off all my demons
[01:39.57]	Embrace my flaws and all my defects
[01:42.55]	And my shortcuts and dead ends
[01:47.45]	I'm treading water in the deep end
[01:51.27]	I'm tryin' to kill off all my demons
[01:55.08]	Embrace my flaws and all my defects
[01:57.59]	And my shortcuts and dead ends
[02:06.43]	My shortcuts and dead ends
[02:13.69]	For my shortcuts and dead ends
[02:17.75]	Dead ends
[02:18.81]
[02:19.05][Verse 2: Wrekonize]
[02:19.66]	Where do I start? I've shed more skins than I can count
[02:23.70]	Broke chains to run the races, got it goin' and I never tried to change the route
[02:27.27]	Started back when I was young, 93', just for fun
[02:31.22]	Even though I knew my fam would never doubt the plan for whatever it was I'd become
[02:35.08]	There I was, writin' songs, showed my sister, she sang along
[02:39.28]	And she still sings to this day, I ****in' love you for that, we got such a bond
[02:43.06]	Ain't seen you much, you moved away, real shame that it's been awhile
[02:46.93]	But I'm thankful, you ain't even out that far, I got to come and hold your newborn child
[02:50.55]	You knew more, than anyone could, how I wished to sing my songs
[02:54.44]	You were there, at the talent shows and all my battles to cheer me on
[02:58.28]	We were broke, but we ain't care, Ill pay rent, keep your share
[03:02.22]	Buy some books, buy some candy, don't you stress, big bro here
[03:06.17]	I just heard, on 103, theres some comp on MTV (Word?)
[03:10.37]	Hey Jess watch this ima tear shit down, wait till' they get a load of me
[03:13.81]	Took it all, brought it home, signed a deal, yeah I'm on
[03:17.99]	But it ain't go down just quite as planned, I'm in the waitin' room all alone
[03:21.59]	Shelved the album, joined a band, we got signed, gained some fans
[03:25.44]	Lost some family, made some friends, earned some dollars, they got spent
[03:29.71]	In the end I'mma try to not have me regrets, cause I always made the attempt
[03:34.08]	When it's all said and done we ain't out here long
[03:36.10]	Better get your feet wet!
[03:37.24]
[03:37.48][Hook]
[03:51.67]	I'm treading water in the deep end
[03:55.45]	I'm tryin' to kill off all my demons
[03:59.12]	Embrace my flaws and all my defects
[04:02.16]	And my shortcuts and dead ends
[04:07.07]	I'm treading water in the deep end
[04:10.93]	I'm tryin' to kill off all my demons
[04:14.72]	Embrace my flaws and all my defects
[04:17.50]	And my shortcuts and dead ends
[04:25.78]	My shortcuts and dead ends
[04:33.39]	For my shortcuts and dead ends
[04:37.36]	Dead ends
