¡Mayday! - Shortcuts And Dead Ends Lyrics
[Bernz:]
Where do I start? I have mo' lives than I can count
Had one too many all nighters, Out here surfin' these crowds
And it's hard to remember names when erryday' you wake up in a different town
So be careful what you wishin' for, when you think noones around
Had to became more, than became worldwide, hold up
Man I went too far, gotta' go back to the start
Raps in the car, beats in the garage, and rats in the walls
Never knew another crew iller than ours, we on course
Not with a few detours, but on the way I lost faith in my idols
Found Wrek damn near suicidal, see we both seen things that'll make a thief sing like a angel in a church revival
So we did a few shows and we did a few tours, to ensure our own personal survival
This for my shortcuts and my dead ends, and my dead friends, and my demons, and my lack of feelins' this evenin'
I've been meanin' to do this, been busy makin' these hits
See we just some neighborhood kids tryin' to live our dreams out in this bitch
Spent so much time on my muuuuse, that my girls always jealous
In the end I'm probably gonna' have some regrets
But they won't outshine my attempts
When it's all said and done we ain't here that long
Better get your feet wet!
I'm treading water in the deep end
I'm tryin' to kill off all my demons
Embrace my flaws and all my defects
And my shortcuts and dead ends
I'm treading water in the deep end
I'm tryin' to kill off all my demons
Embrace my flaws and all my defects
And my shortcuts and dead ends
My shortcuts and dead ends
For my shortcuts and dead ends
Dead ends
[Wrekonize:]
Where do I start? I've shed more skins than I can count
Broke chains to run the races, got it goin' and I never tried to change the route
Started back when I was young, 93', just for fun
Even though I knew my fam would never doubt the plan for whatever it was I'd become
There I was, writin' songs, showed my sister, she sang along
And she still sings to this day, I fuckin' love you for that, we got such a bond
Ain't seen you much, you moved away, real shame that it's been awhile
But I'm thankful, you ain't even out that far, I got to come and hold your newborn child
You knew more, than anyone could, how I wished to sing my songs
You were there, at the talent shows and all my battles to cheer me on
We were broke, but we ain't care, I'll pay rent, keep your share
Buy some books, buy some candy, don't you stress, big bro here
I just heard, on 103, there's some comp on MTV (Word?)
Hey Jess watch this ima tear shit down, wait till' they get a load of me
Took it all, brought it home, signed a deal, yeah I'm on
But it ain't go down just quite as planned, I'm in the waitin' room all alone
Shelved the album, joined a band, we got signed, gained some fans
Lost some family, made some friends, earned some dollars, they got spent
In the end I'mma try to not have me regrets, cause I always made the attempt
When it's all said and done we ain't out here long
Better get your feet wet!
I'm treading water in the deep end
I'm tryin' to kill off all my demons
Embrace my flaws and all my defects
And my shortcuts and dead ends
I'm treading water in the deep end
I'm tryin' to kill off all my demons
Embrace my flaws and all my defects
And my shortcuts and dead ends
My shortcuts and dead ends
For my shortcuts and dead ends
Dead ends

Seeing them perform this love was truly a pleasure
Still 🔥
only 4 million views come on now been listening to these niggas since day 1
I feel the hurt in the lyrics. This shit really came from the heart
Does anybody know the piano cords?
This song really hit me hard
Ima buy two gold und diamond strange emblems. Ny mila
Pom sucka
I never really knew when anyone would say that a song "speaks to them" because I've never had it happen, but this song really does, I have been through a lot of hardships in my life, just till around 8 years ago, then I thought fuck this imma get mine, so I went to college for welding, graduated top of class, spent some time in the field, hopefully get into underwater welding in the spring, pass that at the top, then go and get mine.
Bill Murray put it best in Ghostbusters, " we came, we saw, we kicked it's ass."
Where do I start?
🎶 🎶 🎶
All time favorite. Weird how this song means more to me by each year.
Such a good song. Reminds me of being a freshman in high school.
¡MAYDAY! is underrated and overlooked. Lyrical gold, like many of the greats.
Bro idk how I never heard this but this 👌🔥
I always come back to this song, it keeps me going and reminds me to be even more great than what I was.
anyone still here 2019?
Still in 2019 no one got shit on this i was at gathering 2013 amazing
Songs like life
Mid 2019 and still one of my fav songs of all time.
Not worth losing yourself which is really all what we love.... it's too real.
This is The Fuxking Anthem!! Seeing you guys preforming this live at Stange Fest was a moment crossed off the bucket list! 🤘🏻 Thank You For This! It Has Helped Through The Ups and Down! Strange Music Saved My Life! ^S^
You mean the fucking
What movie did bernz get that scene from where he pretends to drown then laughs when the girlfriend helps?
Hate that this song ends. I could listen to it all day
Where do I start...
My wife is always timid.
She cries and I don't know why.
I find comfort in the night,
reminiscing of that time with my should haves.
Why wasn't I on that point? The cross fire was obvious.
Just run. You were so close but too far from us.
I'm in the deep end and as much as I swallow water,
I remember you in that street and how much you wish you had a shortcut.
And in the the end,
I won't stop till kill off all your demons.
Rest in peace.
2019 anyone??
2019 still listening🤙🏼🍻
Anybody who gave thumbs down to this song obviously don't know good music
2019!!!! This song hits different fr tho 👊😤

I saw mayday in Denver a week ago with tech and they brought out his sister during this song, it was an amazing experience to be apart of
* 2019 And thos song is STILL helping me through struggles... Thanks Mayday for being you and making good, real, and helpful music for the people.
2019, still my jam
strange from 2000 to present! mayday happens to be the best of strange in my personal preference
I'd say Rittz was above them but hes indie now so I fully agree. Mayday the best thing coming out of strange outside Tech himself.
This guy is terrible
Hearing this live was fucking dope
I wish every girl had a big bro like him.
Amazing
Out did your selves once again!!!!! Much love from Gainesville, FL i cant wait to see u guys perform again together tho met yall on the All 6's & 7's Tour never heard of yall and yall blew my mind too fuckin raw great performance
I saw y'all in concert last night 🖤
Fire💥🔥🔥🔥
Everyone talking about tech and mayday ,,like they forgot about stevie stone,rittz,KUT,kalico,CES cru
They all great bro. Rittz is my number 3 rapper of all time and Mayday actually ranks above Bad Meets Evil for me. So unique and potent in every track.
@Sanity Is Radical strange music artists are some of the nicest people I've meet,even lynch dispite his music Haha
