Candle Mourned

Intro

(Yeah, yeah)

Still in motion, can't stop now

(On road)

Verse 1

Started from the ends where the dream felt distant

Now I'm countin' up the paper, every digit consistent

Used to wait for the bus in the rain, persistent

Now the whip pull up and the engine vicious

Mum was stressin' 'bout the bills, I could see it on her

Told her hold on tight, gonna put a crown upon her

Same mandem from before, loyalty, I honour

Lost a couple to the system, light a candle, mourn 'em

I don't move how I moved when I had no options

Used to count my last few quid in my coat pocket

Now the motion never stop, no, I can't lock it

Keep my circle small 'cause the snakes wanna copy

Pre-Chorus

Keep it movin', movin', never slow down

(Never slow)

Eyes on the prize from a cold town

(Cold town)

Chorus

I stay in motion, can't hold me, no

Came from the bottom of the ocean, watch me grow

They wanna see me drown but I'm floatin', no

Too much commotion, keep it lowkey though

I stay in motion, motion, motion

Heart full of scars but it's golden, golden

(Can't stop, won't stop)

Verse 2

Bare man fold under pressure, I don't crease

Came up out the trenches, found a piece of peace

Designer on me now but I remember cheese

Toast for the breakfast and the worn-out Adidas

They ain't wanna know me when the pot was empty

Now they double-tappin' photos, suddenly friendly

I keep my receipts, every memory dented

But I'm grateful for the climb, won't resent it

Skip the small talk, let the numbers do the speakin'

Sunday mornin' counting blessings that I been seekin'

Still I keep one eye on the road when I'm creepin'

'Cause the higher that you rise, more they tryna leech in

Pre-Chorus

Keep it movin', movin', never slow down

(Never slow)

Eyes on the prize from a cold town

(Cold town)

Chorus

I stay in motion, can't hold me, no

Came from the bottom of the ocean, watch me grow

They wanna see me drown but I'm floatin', no

Too much commotion, keep it lowkey though

I stay in motion, motion, motion

Heart full of scars but it's golden, golden

(Can't stop, won't stop)

Bridge

(Slow it down)

From the cold block to the warm life

Every loss was just a lesson in the long fight

Look how far I came, yeah, I earned my stripes

Still I'm in motion when I turn off the lights

Outro

(Yeah)

Still in motion, can't stop now

(On road)

Watch me grow... watch me grow
