No Prizes Kae Tempest, Lianne La Havas

[00:13.19] No prizes [00:14.55] Take your shot for the love of the game [00:16.15] I used to make plans, now I make decisions [00:18.81] I'd always admired his nerve [00:20.84] As sure as the crown on his shirt [00:22.86] One hand in his waistband, he tells me to serve [00:25.85] Credit ratings, savings, loans, down payments towards his investments [00:30.25] "What can I tell you?", he says [00:32.91] When you have kids, it kind of shifts your perspectives [00:35.67] If I could do it all again, no question [00:38.90] I could list ten things right now that I should've done different [00:41.30] But where does that get me? He blows out his smoke [00:44.97] The game's not done yet, he zips up his coat [00:46.98] We stand at the lights before crossing the road [00:50.87] He says, "As long as there's life, there's still so far to go" [00:53.93] Mm-mmm, I just wanna keep climbing [00:57.23] And I don't know why [00:59.28] I don't mind, don't mind [01:05.26] Ooh-ooh, I just wanna keep climbing, climbing [01:09.25] And I don't know why [01:11.26] I don't mind, I don't mind [01:17.32] She's got her hat pulled down, full camo suit [01:20.67] Sitting on the bass amp, strapping a zoot [01:23.48] I'm telling you, it's mad [01:24.97] I read one interview with this soldier in Iran [01:27.75] It's a government cover-up [01:29.73] She's looking for the lighter, but the lighter's in her hand [01:32.35] I'm just really tryna make a couple grand [01:35.30] She plays with the chain 'round her neck, nods deeply [01:38.69] Not even in this music thing, it's beneath me [01:41.35] I start my own company, run my own business [01:44.40] Print my own money, I serve my own interests [01:47.03] I'm telling you, knowledge is key [01:49.09] All my life, people took my ideas, made their names off of me [01:53.02] But trust this, the more I look, the more I see [01:55.77] There's so much more I'm going to be [01:58.06] Mm-mmm, I just wanna keep climbing [02:02.07] And I don't know why [02:04.32] I don't mind, don't mind [02:10.46] Ooh-ooh, I just wanna keep climbing, climbing [02:14.43] And I don't know why [02:16.33] I don't mind, I don't mind [02:22.84] They've seen nothing but dead ends [02:24.00] And blockages and stopped clocks [02:25.81] Misread prophecies and misheard promises [02:28.41] They've got to keep three jobs ticking, they can't get a minute [02:32.03] But they won't be defeated, they've got to live [02:34.83] What are your dreams when they become ghosts in your ears [02:38.20] Telling you things you just don't want to hear? [02:40.49] Like, "You're too late, you missed your chance" [02:43.47] The last thing they want is to be bitter [02:45.45] Like they knew a few to be when they were younger [02:47.40] And they swore, "Never me, never that" [02:50.13] But the time that's behind them, they can't get it back [02:52.84] I used to be joyful, they tell me [02:55.16] A real free spirit, I thought music would protect me [02:58.19] I used to sing in all these bars and I used to busk [03:01.18] But never caught a break, my lucky day never showed up [03:03.81] I never made it to the lights [03:06.50] And now it's like my best days have gone by [03:09.27] And I am scared that it's all too late, is it all too late? [03:13.54] They walk fast and I can't keep pace [03:15.90] They turn back, I watch the past cross their face and they say [03:18.90] "If there's still time on the clock, there's still choices to make" [03:22.53] Mm-mmm, I just wanna keep climbing [03:25.51] And I don't know why [03:27.26] I don't mind, don't mind [03:33.30] Ooh-ooh, I just wanna keep climbing, climbing [03:37.57] And I don't know why [03:38.89] I don't mind, don't mind [03:41.84] Mm-mmm, I just wanna keep climbing, climbing [03:48.90] And I don't know why [03:51.21] Oh, I don't mind, yeah, yeah [03:59.60]
