My Life

I was born 84 In a small town located west of the border of W.A. on Christmas Day at six in the morning Mum said best present she'd ever get was me and she is now That easy to impress and I settled, named after James the apostle The second of two kids, we got told we were special and my cousins Ty Kimberly and Levi are like my brothers Always keep them close in the mind And plus the girls Tamika, Rekia Tarni and Marlee and Kirra, Heather, Nara, Evra Name so many I can't mention their names I got the family so close no matter what the case To relocate to the top end, a taste for the tropics A place to call home for the next decade For a change, moved to the city of Adelaide Couldn't picture a time things would never be the same Got me thinking, what's it like being in The city for a country kid everyone so busy But in Prospect I grew up with my Best friend Robert, Geoff Seb and Jess We're five brothers took our Separate pasts to fulfill whatever promised Good old days gone but not forgotten had A muso for a father and an artist for a mum They encouraged me to dream to do whatever I loved Then growing up my old man he got me on the drums at the age of eight My sister playing the keys if music was The life that I wanted for me, I found my niche All I had to do was believe to put my head down, focus wheels in the motion Receive an accolade now it's time for an Album everything was nice as good as can be And that's about the time I met the girl of my dreams Girl of my dreams didn't turn out to be In a mist of a break-up now feeling A bitter-sweet incomplete or at peace I'm waiting on an outcome a year down the track And I'm asking where's the album? My life's hard enough as it is to find the time Or to get inspired has got me walking a line A foundation expectations are hard to fulfill Every need, the only hunger inside So at the present trying to make good First impression can't believe we made it this far For my parents know I love 'em pushing up and placing them above you My sister, thanks for helping out your little brother The friends and the fam that I lost along the way It's never been the same since the day you left the future In the night you playing your cards right? Stop and think, take a look at someone else's life like this
