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]
