Redlight King - When The Dust Settles Down Lyrics






Been up and down these streets
I've seen both sides of town
I've been through the hardship
The long way around
The point of no return
That's just where I begin
I spent a lot of time with all seven deadly sins
Hated who I was
Who I became
Lost my faith in God
Put my faith in cocaine
Cheated on my girlfriends
Lied to myself
Put my whole family through hell

When the dust settles down
You've seen where you've been
You're runnin' on empty
Broken within
When the dust settles down
There ain't nothin' left
Turn it around
Start over again

And when you have nothin' left
Find out what you're worth
I came through the storm
Stopped diggin' in the dirt
I rewound the tape
Saw through the evil and hate
Started believin' that I had what it takes
I went back to the start
Workin' full shifts through the worst shit
Kickin' carpet and bouncin' punks at the bar
I got a new life now
Now that I'm legit
You can call the cops man
It don't mean shit

When the dust settles down
You've seen where you've been
You're runnin' on empty
Broken within
When the dust settles down
There ain't nothin' left
Turn it around
Start over again
[x2]

Start over again
Start over again
Start over again
Start over again

When the dust settles down
You've seen where you've been
You're runnin' on empty
Broken within
When the dust settles down
There ain't nothin' left
Turn it around
Start over again

    Been up and down these streets, seen both sides of town. I've been through the hardship, the long way around.
    They pointing on my *Something*, spend a lot of time with all 7 deadly sins.
    Hated who I was, who I became. Lost my faith in guy, put my faith in cocaine.
    Cheated on my girlfriend, lied to myself,
    put my whole family through a hell.
    When the dust settles down, you've seen where you've been, running on empty, broken within.
    When the dust settles down, there ain't nothing left, turn it around, start over again.
    When you have nothing left, you find out what you're worth, I came through the storm, stop digging in the dirt.
    I rewound the tape, and saw through the evil and hate, started believing that I had what it takes.
    I went back to the start, working full shifts, through the worst shitgfdskj,fdnbsjhfhdagkj,sndfgkusj,mfsgkj

    Okay, I know, I gave up... My hands hurt. If someone could correct me on mistakes and the word I didn't catch... In a kind way, that would be awesome! Thanks.

    When The Dust Settles Down" by Redlight King ~ aWesome

  19. S.... W....

    Life Is "Crazee" and so am I..."I defineately try to Never judge Anyone unless I am able to Walk Beside Them Without Any Shoes"...NEVER say "Never" because It Will be. "That Monkey On Your Back!"...

  20. J.... H....

    I am no fan of rap music~I detest the profanity and the vulgarity~but my oldest grandson convinced me to listen to this song. I like this song because it's done by an artist who can actually sing, while also telling an actual story. It sounds like it was written by someone who lived it~give it a listen if you're interested.

    J.... H....

    Thanks for giving this a listen.
