King Paddy

Intro

Yeah

King Paddy

Street Empire

Life is a gift but nobody knows the deadline

Some leave through accidents

Some fight diseases

Some fall to poison

And some carry pain nobody can see

But if you're still breathing your story ain't finished

KIFO

Chorus

Death comes fast you can never know when

One last goodbye never see them again

Crash on the road now the whole world cries

Disease in the body still fighting to survive

Poison in the shadows evil wearing a disguise

Silent pain in the heart tears behind the eyes

Life is too short let the truth be known

Love your people while they're still at home

KIFO KIFO nobody knows the day

One moment we're here next we're memories away

KIFO KIFO hear the whole world cry

So we live with love while we're still alive

Verse 1

Blue lights flashing midnight on the road

Someone's little brother never made it home

Mother at the window waiting for a call

Now she's asking heaven why it had to fall

One careless second one terrible night

A future full of dreams disappears from sight

A father had plans had a family to feed

Now the whole house trembles with a pain nobody needs

No warning on the calendar no message in advance

Life can change forever in the smallest circumstance

So slow down on the highway don't gamble with a life

Someone's waiting for you someone's calling you their light

Don't text while you're driving don't turn speed into pride

The strongest man is one who gets his loved ones home alive

We chase another dollar put tomorrow on the line

But the greatest kind of wealth is getting home every time

Chorus

Death comes fast you can never know when

One last goodbye never see them again

Crash on the road now the whole world cries

Disease in the body still fighting to survive

Poison in the shadows evil wearing a disguise

Silent pain in the heart tears behind the eyes

Life is too short let the truth be known

Love your people while they're still at home

KIFO KIFO nobody knows the day

One moment we're here next we're memories away

KIFO KIFO hear the whole world cry

So we live with love while we're still alive

Verse 2

Hospital corridor footsteps in the night

A family holding hands praying for a light

Machines keep talking but the room feels still

A brave soul fighting with a body losing will

Cancer takes its toll infections bring their pain

Some people fight for years just to see the sun again

Don't judge a sick person by the face that they show

Some battles happen deep where nobody can go

Then there's poison in the bottle poison in the mind

Betrayal from a trusted hand can leave a wound behind

Some harm comes from hatred some from careless hands

And families break apart trying to understand

If you're carrying a sickness you are more than what you face

You deserve support and kindness you deserve a safe place

And if somebody's suffering don't leave them all alone

A little care can help a hurting heart feel known

No crown can buy forever no money stops the clock

So stand beside the people when their world begins to rock

Verse 3

Some people laugh in public then cry when they're alone

They carry heavy burdens they have never fully shown

A thousand people round them still they feel they have no one

They wake up every morning just to fight another sun

Don't call their pain weakness don't tell them just be strong

Sometimes a simple question helps them make it through the storm

Are you okay my brother can I sit with you tonight

Can become a little doorway when they're losing sight of light

If you've thought about leaving please don't face it on your own

Tell someone what you're feeling let your pain be known

A friend a family member a counsellor who cares

You don't have to hide the battle or pretend that nothing's there

We have lost too many people let us learn before goodbye

Reach the ones who go silent ask the questions hear their cries

King Paddy with a message let it travel every street

Your life is worth protecting even when the road gets steep

No shame in asking help no weakness in a tear

You deserve another morning you deserve to still be here

Bridge

If I leave before the sunrise

Tell my mother that I tried

Tell my brothers keep on living

Tell my friends to stand with pride

But if you're hearing this song now

There's still time to make things right

Call the ones you haven't spoken to

Be somebody's reason to fight

We can't control each ending

We can't see beyond today

But we can choose to show each other

Love before we fade away

Final Chorus

Death comes fast you can never know when

One last goodbye never see them again

Roads can take a life disease can bring pain

Betrayal can destroy trust
