National Rap Winner for the ScribeWithMe competition for Choice Not Chance

lyrics

[Verse 1]

I find myself stuck at a crossroads

Feel I could implode under this heavy load

Feel that I'm being followed by a black cloud

My life was upside down

Now I'm turning my life around

Didn't matter where I was

Coz, I just wanted to feel that buzz

I wanted to feel that thrill

Didn't care about the cost, didn't care about the bill

I found that the pokies took all of my time

I was in a bind

Didn't realize I was leaving my dreams behind

Would have lost everything, then I opened my eyes

I saw I couldn't resist the itch

Addiction is a witch

And it was hell stitched up in its spell.



[Hook]

Your life's your own to deal

Don't rely on the cards or the spin of a wheel

We need to have a voice, take a stance

Ending harmful gambling is a choice and not chance.



[Verse 2]

It feels as if gambling has got you in a trap

You spend all your time gambling, you have no life outside that

Now you wanna have control, you want your life back

You feel like you’ve lost your way

Find you’re losing your loved ones, losing ya pay

It can seem as if your troubles weigh, a tonne

If you’ve ever felt like this, you’re not the only one

It’s a battle that needs to be fought

Don't have to fight alone, get some support

So even if you’re fed up

Don’t ya ever let up

Just keep going, keep on stepping up

Gotta keep moving forward, gotta advance

It's all up to choice and not chance

These are the words we need to sing

Let's choose to end harmful gambling.



[Hook]

Your life's your own to deal

Don't rely on the cards or the spin of a wheel

We need to have a voice, take a stance

Ending harmful gambling is a choice and not chance.
