[Intro: Adrian Mitchell]
I was run over by the truth one day
ever since the accident I've walked this way

[Verse 1: Syred]
Every morning,
I wake up thinking it,
and so do you..

Every morning when I walk to work, I wonder the same thing
am I my just another fish salmon in the same stream
I don't wanna be mainstream, I wanna swim off-course
but money's the motivation, so we follow the rules

Polish off floors to try to get some respect
but who really respect the man who gets his hands wet
not me, not now not ever
you've got to be thick-skinned, yet hide leather

So never compromise yourself for another man's wealth
offer a another man help, but understand he'll
end up trying to take advantage of the fact that you're not doing it
yourself like, your just some food up on the shelf

Where he can pay the price, take a bite and use you for his health
and that's when you should ask yourself are you the tuna or the melt?
yeah, would you be the dealer or the dealt?
are you the leader or the sheep that wants to be somebody else?

Go on,
ask your self, do you wanna to be somebody else?
or just tell me how you felt,
cause I think you need some help

I said tell me how you felt,
cause if you felt like I was digging' then it's clear you need some help
you're gonna need a ladder, a jack and the belt
and buckle up as I lift you right out of your self

So be true to who you are,
or just listen closely
The Sound of truth is a deep tone, sub-note from Lowkey,
although these wise words spoke in no key

there's a similar theme of rhyme, rhythm and poetry
though these syllables beats bars and lyrics supposedly
Holding me together whether or I'm bottom or top
to tell the truth I'm only level headed whenever

I'm getting the balance right soon as it's flipped on its side
I start doubting myself, asking me if I'm right
And that's a frightening position when you're so righteous at times
let no opinion cloud your vision and don't listen to any advise, I

wonder if my arrogance will make me
take me to the top, take control and then break me
down to the ground, further than I've been before
or will it just makes me stronger like a king with a sword


[Hook: Syred]
I've been here before, but never so aware has my head been?
see an unopened mind just seeks closed answered questions
I've been here before, but never so aware has my head been?
see an unopened mind just seeks closed answered questions


[Verse 2: Syred]
Yeah,
If an unopened mind just seeks closed answered questions,

Well, I guess then I'm destined to question my existence
because my mind is a parachute that will carry you for the distance
shadow you from the friction, battle through the resistance
grapple the shackles they wrap round your ankles and a attack with my diction

See wisdom is not something which you can claim to preach
it's just, part of your brain which gets conveyed in the speech
it's like a pain relief, through your veins in leaks
on anybody who tries to bite the hand it stains the cheek

There is no, karma, fate or luck, superstition or was meant to be
just the way you are to cast reflections on your destiny
and that's not prewritten just influenced by your decisions,
the risks you take, the rules you break, choices you make

And if and when you decide to accept yourself
'cause see the way you treat others is just reflection of self
these are my thoughts and my feelings, they are not wrong, they're not right
but right now if they make sense to you then you should decide


[Bridge: Syred]
See I feel like I understand life a little better now
like every things come to this and it's clever how


[Hook]
