AND STILL LYRICS
Before the ink's even dry the history books are being rewritten
Those pens are reserved for the gifted and driven
But there's a winner in all of us
A plan bigger than all of us
Yet that council estate of mind will forever be stalling us
Could have been a stereotype
Till I decided I would pave my own path through this life
Because footsteps are not to be followed unless overtaken
Corners shan't be cut on the road to greatness
The game is,
Lessons learnt and dropped jewels
Sacrifices and falls
You can't checkmate life without losing pawns
They told us we would never make it
They told us not to reach for the sky 'coz they didn't
I told them when the stars align it's just our time
From "the new" to the "and still!"
Seize the moment; I will

A rematch with Klitschko could be on the cards, but the British public appears desperate for a clash of the titans with Tyson Fury.
But that won't happen until 2018 - as long as the Gypsy King can get himself back to full fitness.
Fury outboxed and outfoxed Klitschko two years ago in a truly brilliant performance in Germany but was stripped of his titles after failing to fulfil a mandatory defence.
Since then Fury has struggled with depression and addiction - but has spent recent weeks on a gruelling training camp in Marbella, Spain.
Promoter Eddie Hearn is desperate for the bout.
He said: "There is nothing I or AJ would want more than to see Tyson back in the ring.
"But it won’t be next. Tyson just won’t be ready.
"Physically he is not at the races and he has a lot to resolve in terms of his doping hearing and getting his licence back.
"As it stands, I think the best chance of a Fury fight is April 2018, at Wembley. That depends on a successful defence in October or November.
"Rest assured, if we can make it happen, we will make it happen.
"I believe Wladimir is keen [to do the rematch]. If he is then it is a sequel people would definitely want to see.
"I’m sure Wlad believes he nearly had AJ out of there and I know that AJ wants to iron out some mistakes and do a better job next time."
