[Wretch 32 - Verse 1]
Yea, I got a good heart
I was born on beat that's a good start
I had a feeling I pushed past
And now I feel like I'm the reason I should last
And I move like my shit don't sink
But I'm all in a trance no hit no assist
This is all from the heart intro no script
I'm just about writing it down
So now I don't sleep man I miss those nights
I take planes like trains I don't miss no flights
I'm the type of guy that will have no life
Just so I can shine like this gold life
And that sounds sad but I'm happy
And the only plans to stay scatty
Yea unorthodox, I made the bar so I call the shots
[Chorus - Example]
We don't follow no crowd, they follow us
Don't follow no sound it follows us
Go sit in hell, look down that wishing well
Unorthodox, we call our own shots
[Wretch 32 - Verse 2]
Yea I got a good vibe
I ain't trynna be bait with my hook lines
I had a feeling I could fly
Before I hopped on a plane or a new sky
Yea I'm a good guy
And if you heard otherwise it's a true lie
I'm hype I don't do shy
I bark up every tree and I do bite
Syke I'm only playing
We all got freedom of speech I'm only saying
I ain't got time for beef I'm on the way in
So the 8th day of the weeks my own lay in
And that's sounds said but I'm happy
But the only plans to stay scatty
Yea unorthodox, I made the bar so I take the shots
[Chorus]
We don't follow no crowd, they follow us
Don't follow no sound it follows us
Go sit in hell look down that wishing well
Unorthodox we call our own shots
No one can hold us down again
No one will touch our crown again
No one can hold us down again
No one will touch our crown again
[Chorus x2]
We don't follow no crowd, they follow us
Don't follow no sound it follows us
Go sit in hell, look down that wishing well
The mirror can't look me in the eyes, no way
I Float like a ribbon in the sky, no play
Eh yo, smooth or rugged Imma usain run it cuz I does it in my own lane
Then imma flash for the picture
She'll come back, no, hasta la vista
Computer love I, Mac with my finger
Baby I'm a man, not ya mister I missed ya
My lifestyles terribly wild
But you never catch me on the Jeremy Kyle show
Explosive, terrorist style
Don’t think Imma blow i'll get you therapy now
Chorus:
I missed school and I haven't got a job yet
My girls pissed and my daughters on the away
I went clubbin till my world was revolving
Pretty women and alcohol ehhh
I ride this motherfucking beat like a tractor
I ride this motherfucking beat like a train
Choo choo blow horn go faster, stack p's everyday
I ride this motherfucking beat like a tractor
I ride this motherfucking beat like a plane
Zoom zoom now their out the room
More women more alcohol eh
I'm living my life cause that's what I do best
These girls in my bank want to show me interest
Eh look, pounds or pennies I don't scrounge off any
I am fly, I am not an insect
And I'm the life of the party
Came with Ken but I left with his Barbie
Baby's with me,
She can ride in the car seat
If she's an angel, I'm Charlie, aw please
My lifestyles terribly wild
But you'll never catch me on Jeremy Kyle show
Explosive, terrorist style
Don't think imma blow and get therapy now
[Chorus:]
I miss you and I haven't got a job yet
My girls pissed and my daughters on the way

Choo choo blow horn go faster, stack p's everyday
I ride this motherfucking beat like a tractor

More women more alcohol eh
Don't say my name when I'm at the bar,
Cause I'm in the zone
And I'm trying my hardest not to fall,
And I'm so gone
I'm so gone
Just leave me alone, alone.
My lifestyles terribly wild
But you never catch me on the Jeremy Kyle Show
Explosive, terrorist style
Don’t think Imma blow i'll get you therapy now
[Chorus:]
I missed school and I haven't got a job yet
My girls pissed and my daughters on the way
I went clubbin till my world was revolving
Pretty women and alcohol eh

Choo choo blow horn go faster, stack p's everyday

I'll be your super
I'll be your super
I'll be your superhero
I'll be your super
I'll be your super
I'll be your superhero
I'll be your superhero
I'll fly right by
I come to scoop you spend some dineros
Cause I'm that guy
Oh, babe,
Look, I'll be your superhero but just for the night
Confused my ego but just for the night
If you choose to leave home it's just for the night
Just for the hype... Why?
Cause if you live for today, I'll whisk you away
Superman style bring you to space
Choose a man like me think we're the same
Under links in a chain, babe
Cause I'm cooler than ice, I ain't cruisin' I glide
You should move with the times, cah they ain't smoother than I
Whoever told you I'm not that guy
Whoever told you that I'm not that fly
Pinocchio nose, that's one bad lie
I'll be your superhero
I'll fly right by
I come to scoop you spend some dineros
Cause I'm that guy
I'll be your superhero
I'll fly right by
(Superman style bring you to space)
I come to scoop you spend some dineros
Cause I'm that guy
(Choose a man like me, think we're the same)
Look babe I can make it thunder
Might save the day if I save your number
Might hate to wave babe but Wayne can wonder
And I ain't like him!
No, cah I'm nothin' like your ex-man, I'm something like an X-man
So assume I'm a mutant, I'm immune to the nuisance
My lines are slim!
And I ain't one to wait on you
And I ain't got my game on true
I ain't got a cape on
Ain't got an "S" on the chest that my chain's on - boo
Whoever told you I'm not that guy
Whoever told you that I'm not that fly
Pinocchio nose that's one bad lie
I'll be your superhero
I'll fly right by
(Superman style bring you to space)
I come to scoop you spend some dineros
Cause I'm that guy
(Choose a man like me, think we're the same)
I'll be your superhero
I'll fly right by
I come to scoop you spend some dineros
Cause I'm that guy
(I'll be your super
I'll be your super
I'll be your superhero)
I'll be your hero
I'll be your hero
I'll be your hero
I'll be your hero
Listen,
Babe, I'm cooler than ice, I ain't cruisin' I glide
You should move with the times, cah they ain't smoother than I
Whoever told you I'm not that guy
Whoever told you that I'm not that fly
Nevermind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you
Flickin' through the pictures
I can see you chilling with my sisters
And I can see me in the background,
Talking on the phone, probably to another mistress
I guess I prove everybody right
But this ain't everybody's life
I bet nobody's hurtin' like I
Cause the heartache meant to break,
And we wasn't meant to divide
So I'm never supposed to be lying
We're fighting for this love
And we're never suppose to be dying
The topic of discussion
I'm never home and you're crying
You're crying me a river
I'm bit and so I just dive in
Lyrical arguments
Feels like we're in the house of parliament
But I ain't trying to play the prime minister
Turn the whole country against me, I can't pretend
That I don't need nobody
(You don't need nobody)
But I don't need no worries
(You don't need no worries)
So I left when you told me you're pregnant
(Told you I was pregnant)
Heartless, not even your screams could stop me
Free
Nevermind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you two,
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead
Oh yeah, I
Phone you last week
You answered your phone and didn't speak
And I could hear your boyfriend in the background saying
Who's that? I wish he would've ask me
I see your true colors shining through
You've moved on, I guess I'm nothin' like you
Or am I stupid to assume that there's a cupid
And I'm hoping if he shoots, he finds me someone like you
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it,
I'd hoped you'd see my face,
And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over,
Nevermind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you, too,
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead,
Sometimes it lasts in love,

After I slept with talent I divorced my nerves and my mixtape it recorded my birth
Of course I'm preferred check my verbs
The heat starts when my speech marks (Yeah)
When they cut the cord then I knew I must perform
My worst bars way above the norm
And that's no estimation exclamation (!)
New paragraph each time I write
Screw managers they just want a piece of the pie
You'd think they knew I move food
By the way they wanna eat of my lines
Comma look I can see through my eyes

I don't wann get locked cause I'm fearing the years
Comma I'm already behind bars

You and me failed to see nothing lasts forever
1st off look I still love you but that don't mean we have to stay together cause there ain't nuttin that remains forever, a fact of life you can't change the weather, bring back the nights when I gave you pleasure, and light the fire when it's pissing rain our seperation hit me harder than my father when I misbehaved, I'm still scarred but I don't miss the pain, I feel daft but hear I miss you babe, look after all my kids the same, jermaine, I nearly cried when my baby first smiled that just made it worth while so I told him, dissapear then I came back from a closed end I was even risking being back but shes moany, that's her problem? I don't really have a problem, hand my key n giv me the ammo for dem, infact if we werent debatin it's like were communicating my back she knew she'd be facin but I did prefer that option, it would be worser off iff we stayed and tried to sort it out, cah I know we woulda fought it out, she fort I'm superman just because she knows I can haw and drout so ud never get the water out, and my eyes can I cry, an my pride is my weakness I say I'm cool but I seem stressed there's no dirt still I see mess, I go church but I been blessed it won't hurt if I sleep more but I sleep less.
You and me just failed to see nothing lasts forever
No it won't be easy, you will agree they can't stay forever
Look my eyes must be no good, how can we keep having beef when you don't cook, her reason being her decietful with cold looks, I'm tryna sleep and you creep through my phonebook deleting on no raunchin, eager to moan shush, I ain't here to fight, that's the reason I ain't there tonight, it ain't fair ITS LIFE, it's like you like it when I'm raring hype, but I ain't hyping you should find your baring fine I'm dissapearing it ain't like I'm caring it's just advice I'm sharing, with you, I didn't really think I should be wary wid u, did you think we'd live happy ever after all the nappys and the drama, I ain't a fan of carma but I believe we'll get our justice earths, cause when it's done it hurts believe when it's love it burns, I didn't wanna see a scene to our son in turns but in life you got alot to learn I wanna wake up to hear him speaking so atleast I hear him mutter words, you know I'm fly so I love the birds so I don't see why your suprised when I'm cluckin girl, ha chicken means nuffin girl, look I'm only joking but same way I ain't coping but the case is closed I think it's best we leave a open gate, but if you get in need and get inpatient maybe we can re evaluate the situation
You and me failed to see (I never saw it coming) nothing lasts forever (we're all living in some honeymoon period)
[Intro:]
That coulda never been me
Cah I forever been me
Hittin' on another team
That coulda never been me
Cah I forever been me
Not livin' out my dreams
That coulda never been me
Cah I forever been me
Hittin' on another team
That coulda never been me
C'mon and get to know me
[Verse 1:]
Look, at the age of fourteen, I felt the pressure on me
That's why I never did sleep, that I never had dreams
I was forever on the street, I had a pair o' off-keys
An' a top of Dolce, an' had a pair of cold sneaks
That help me run from police
Cah my mother's so deep, she woulda sent me O.T.
Because she never got pees she was ever so pleased
When I got my own keys, at sixteen so sweet
Even tried to sell weed, but couldn't get a whole key
I had to let it go peek, didn't get to know pees
Until I got to eighteen, but still I never OD'd
Cah my foot was in the scene, I had to make it concrete
And now I feed my whole team
[Chorus:]
They can't believe the one they doubted
Is taking the house tonight
When I didn't even try
Ain't that what
You screamed and shouted
Cause I've made you change your mind
And I didn't even try
You love it
How he does it
[Repeated with adlibs]
[Verse 2:]
An' I ain't never been tight, I'm like drinks on me
An' I can do that all night, cah I got my shit right
I never blink or sleep, cah my dream's my life
So the limit's my sky, until into the ground I dive
But a legend don't die so why the hell should I
I've got heaven on side, my little boy soon stride
When he gets his own stripes, I get him sponsored by Nike
It's real talk no hype, cah his daddy's been fly
I been cool no ice, I don't stunt I style
It ain't all about price, unless you get it on swipe
I pay cash no dice, so everything nice
Becah a rider got drive, I get head no lice
[Chorus:]
They can't believe the one they doubted
Is taking the house tonight
When I didn't even try
Ain't that what
You screamed and shouted
Cause I've made you change your mind
And I didn't even try
You love it
How he does it
[Repeated with adlibs]
[Outro:]
That coulda never been me
Cah I forever been me
Hittin' on another team
That coulda never been me
Cah I forever been me
Not livin' out my dreams
That coulda never been me
Cah I forever been me
Hittin' on another team
That coulda never been me
Where straps are seen more than dads
Cause they clap at these boring actors
Cause everyone's big with hard weight
Now everyone thinks they're Scarface
It gets fizzy when their plans evolve
And they end up in the can for coke
I hope you're 7-Up (I-I-Ina Di Ghetto)
Where we wish for better luck (huh)
But we still see black cats
We get cheese cause we're lab rats (woah)
So then we reproduce
And we grind just to feed our yutes
Gettin' by's like squeezin' through
That's the cycle of me and you
We're designed to lose (I-I-Ina Di Ghetto)
Where the yutes get high off an 8th
Ride for their name
And love to die for their chain
Just cause he swore on his cross
That if he gets popped then the war's kickin' off
And we'll take it to them
Now that's what I call the chain of events
You break out the chain they're takin' your breath (I-I-Ina Di Ghetto)
Where there's no congestion charge
But to roll through my hood there's a section pass
I.e to travel these ends
There must be family, friends
Or you're an outlaw
My hoodz a tight space it's hard to get out of
Get lost or found gone
Cause the kids wid da metal are (I-I-Ina Di Ghetto)
(Huh) and I've come dis far
I'm in da ghetto like Justinz yard
Matter of fact Justinz heart
[Chorus: Badness]
Life is more than rough, see you,
You have to be bold and tough, yoooo
You have to can hold it up? woaaa
Ina di ghetto, ina di ghetto
(I-I-Ina Di Ghetto)
[Ghetto:]
Uh, I be up from the crack of dawn
I ain't aalyiah but I'm back & forth
It's cold but my jacket's warm
And even with the heat on my side
Some how I still manage to catch cold,
My hats low
So my eyes ain't seen
Bandana on da neck
Cause I might bang a hammer on a threat
My nine ain't clean (I-I-Ina Di Ghetto)
My name speaks for itself
If I come to a fight
I'm a leave with a belt or chain
But I guarantee u won't leave with your health or name
Everyday I see more pain
I be tryna get doe four ways
In stacks so I could'ntbe broke for four days (I-I-Ina Di Ghetto)
And I scream greengate all day
Cause I'm a greengate gunhappy goon
And before 2007 ask anyone I never had one happy tune
Cause there ain't nothing nice round ere
Nuttin but rats n mice round ere
G-H I'm in an unhappy mood (I-I-Ina Di Ghetto)
Niggaz are wylin out
Cause there ain't nutin 2 smile about
Enemies be tellin me watch when they find me house
I be like mind your mouth
From now everyting on my mind is foul
Fuck a nine to five I'm like gimme a nine
A crack a 9 of brown n lemme provide the sound (I-I-Ina Di Ghetto)
[Wretch 32:]
(Huh) and I've come dis far
I'm in da ghetto like Justinz yard
Matter of fact Justinz heart
[Chorus x2: Badness]
Life is more than rough, see you,
You have to be bold and tough, yoooo
You have to can hold it up? woaaa
I said hush little baby
Don't you cry
I said hush little baby
Don't you cry
I said hush little baby
Don't you cry
I'm saying hush little baby
Don't you cry
Daddy ain't sure he can raise you right
I ain't even good with saving my money
Why should I think I could save your life
The whole family's gonna think I'm a devil
Cah I don't want to see my angels eyes
I say this with one hand on my heart
Guilt ain't gonna make me change my mind
My thoughts were my worst thoughts
Running through my head in circles
The world's gonna hate me for saying this
But patience is a virtue
So we don't have to rush
For our first yute
We could take time do rehearsals
And I ain't acting, this is personal
And I ain't doing this just to hurt you
[Chorus]
I should say goodbye before I say hello
So darling hold me closely tonight
Cos' if you open your eyes I'll never let you go
Moving slowly we'll both sleep tonight
And I'll be dreaming till you wake me up
When I'm telling her about raving
She's telling me about cravings
I just want her to get the message
I don't want to have to be so blatant
So I told her my life ain't balanced yeah
So the time ain't right
She said God's clocks the only one that matters
And it's about time I tried
And if I listen to my family
Then I'll be a new addition to my family
I can't help feeling peer pressured
Everyone's looking down but
They don't understand me
And everyone's so suggestive
I'm getting mixed messages
But nobody's rang me huh
I ain't saying this is a game
But when I say the wrong thing
Everybody wants to hang me
[Chorus]
I should say goodbye before I say hello
So darling hold me closely tonight
Cos' if you open your eyes I'll never let you go
Moving slowly we'll both sleep tonight
And I'll be dreaming till you wake me up
I said hush little baby
Don't you cry
I said hush little baby
Don't you cry
I said hush little baby
Don't you cry
[Chorus]
I should say goodbye before I say hello
So darling hold me closely tonight
Cos' if you open your eyes I'll never let you go
Moving slowly we'll both sleep tonight
(Ft. Josh Kumra)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah
I don't know where you come from
But you're everywhere I go
I don't know why you chose me, why me
But as long as you're here I don't need to know
So don't' go
when I got introduced to you I knew I'd be true to you
Everyone wanted a place you whisper to me that sweet guys like me you love
And I feel it in my soul
It's like you're always with me on the road
Phone in my hand while I listen to you moan
And everybody in the car want to try and get involved
Yeah, then you make a silly tone puppy love now like give a dog a bone
Shut me up how I can breathe when I'm a frown
Our loves concrete we should lead a setting stone
Yeah and whenever I'm in doubt you forever calm me down
And sometimes I'm a dummie and I know would of crashed if you never was around
Chorus:
So don't go
Don't leave
Please stay
With me
You are the only thing I need to get by, get by
Yeah I spend a little change on you
But you always give it back
'Cause I know you ain't here for the money
You just wanna see me be the man
So I earnt my respect like a true gentleman
All the rumors were capital irrelevant
We should get those two emblems
And I give my life to you that's a street settlement
Yeah I feeling ever so emotional
'Cause I never had nothing when approaching you
Sitting with a straight face on a poker man
That's why a song like this has been over due
Due over time, time over
Love drunk you and I would die sober
I'm in this for forever and a day
That's why where ever I go, they've got to put you on a plane
Chorus:
So don't go
Don't leave
Please stay
With me
You are the only thing I need to get by,
To get by, to get by, to get by.
Uhh... I swear I ain't ever seen a sky so clear
Together we're gon' make history
Why would you wanna be elsewhere?
See I swear, I ain't ever seen a sky so clear
Together we're gon' make history
Why would you wanna be elsewhere?
Don't go leave me now
Don't go leave me
Stay right here till my dark days in to light years I'ma shine yeah
Don't go leave me now
Don't go leave me
Loosing you is one of my fears
But I ain't selfish I share if I have to
So don't go
Don't leave
Please stay
With me
You are the only thing I need to get by,
To get by, to get by, to get by.
So don't go
Don't leave
Please stay
With me
You are the only thing I need to get by,
[Hook: Delilah]
As the darkness turns to day, only you stand in the way,
No stops when you're on a run, understand who you've become.
You're the fire in the rain, only greatness will remain,
Push up, yes raise the bar, don't be afraid of who you are,
You are, you are, who you are,
You are, you are, don't be afraid of who you are
[Verse 1: Wretch 32]
Growing up I liked G-banks,
But everyone was saying he was too cocky,
I noticed when you're the new champ,
There ain't nothing you can do properly,
That's why I'd rather run my race,
Before I think about how they judge my face,
I came to be the best so my training was immense,
24 hours and I don't even break a sweat,
I don't even take a rest cause to sleep when your dead's enough,
Main side of mileage on my price is still wearing off,
Had to put smiling to the side and get serious,
Wanna join me and "32" that's the Wretch in ya,
I bet it feels like I'm directing ya,
Mr Tom-Tom going in and out your area,
It's a long run, you feel hate till you're scared of love,
I'm just trying to paint the picture, is it clear enough?
[Hook: Delilah]
As the darkness turns to day, only you stand in the way,
No stops when you're on a run, understand who you've become.
You're the fire in the rain, only greatness will remain,
Push up, yes raise the bar, don't be afraid of who you are,
[Wretch 32:]
Tell me if you're with me,
I said I'm traveling at wind speed, ye-e-eah,
Tell me if you're with me, yea
Because I'm traveling at wind speed, ye-eah.
[Verse 2: Wretch 32]
Wake up on a high, and then I cross my heart and hope to fly,
With one question on my mind,
If you gotta stay grounded how the hell do ya touch the sky?
Assume we were born to die,
But it's what you do between that deters if you're alive,
You only kill your dream when you open up your eyes,
And impossible's just a word we recite,
It's a word that we've relied on for way too many years,
When they've put a man on the moon, planes in the air,
Probably said Houdini was a fool before he disappeared,
Zuckerburg never had a penny to a millionaire,
Are you listening with your vision ears, ride to the willful,
Off in different years, I've engaged in a busy year,
I died trying to make my paradise, but I'm living it.
[Hook: Delilah]
As the darkness turns to day, only you stand in the way,
No stops when you're on a run, understand who you've become.
You're the fire in the rain, only greatness will remain,
Push up, yes raise the bar, don't be afraid of who you are,
[Wretch 32:]
Tell me if you're with me,
I said I'm traveling at wind speed, ye-e-eah,
Tell me if you're with me, yea
Yeah all the girls around me
Some pissed and some just drowsy
Let me tell you about London, eh?
It's a bit of a shit hole, but lets just party till the day.
Hey babe, come bounce wiv me, it's not a suggestion, its an order.
Move that sexy booty, never stop movin' keep going, dj don't stop playin'

Hey babe, come bounce wiv me, it's not a suggestion, it's an order.
Move that sexy booty, never stop movin' keep going, dj don't stop playin'

1 oclock 2 3 4 oclock, all hours partyin' never take a break unless it's
for another shot. Keep pumpin' keep shakin' keep kissin' keep
Fasten your seatbelt
I'm about to take you on a journey
On par with your dream world
A master at retail
Cah I'll be entering the charts with
A half of my pre-sales
A bastard that means well
Cause' everything I touch breaks
I should sign me a sweet girl
Fly me an email
And give your life to the game that's
The minor of details
Give your life to the game the most
The minor of details
Give your life to the game
So why would I be vex
I made it out of the hex
While nuff man got murked I came out
In a benz
And yet I'm still on the ends
With not one new friend
My whole circles in shape
We came first to the race
I came second on my second attempt
It was well worth the wait like
Every verse every day like
Every word every tape
Every person that ate I
Still got the same hunger
So I work every day why?
The closer I get now the further
My break time
Being safe ain't safe
But the combinations still the same
You do you and everybody commentates
On your game
That's just the way it plays
But I remember being eight
Thinking how do I get a chain?
Now I gave mine away
Because the goals got to change
Or you get caught offside in the crossfire
Everyone claims that they told
You to wait
Cah they just wanted you replaced
The dark side of my life
Where my heart weren't alive
The light side of my life
Where my dreams came to life
The dark side of my life
Where my heart weren't alive
The light side of my life
Where my dreams came to life
The reason I never had a heart
Is because I never had a chance
Playing monopoly thinking will I
Ever get a yard?
Now mayfair ain't far
But if I go, then did I really play my role
I walk around to show hope
I don't need to showboat
We all know I've got dough
Now I want to see my people
Evolve sho
I t ain't a sprint, it's a marathon
So I can't piggy back any tag alongs
If you weren't there when we were
Four in a travelodge
Then you'll only make me laugh
Carry on
You know you're your own man
When you're giving advice to your
Old man
You keep the roof over mums head
Cah you can't put a price on a
Home fam
Nevertheless everyone will forever
Suggest
That they can invest
That's intelligent stressi came to rap I
Don't penny you're cheques
I just wanna be heard
I wanna be first
I don't know it all like them wannabe
Nerds
But I am not the man of the hour
I'm the man with the power
Cah I just put my sun on the earth
Word
The dark side of my life
Where my heart weren't alive
The light side of my life
Where my dreams came to life
The dark side of my life
Where my heart weren't alive
The light side of my life
Where my dreams came to life
Where my heart weren't alive
The light side of my life where
My dreams came to life
The dark side of my life
Where my heart weren't alive
The light side of my life
[Verse 1: Wretch 32]
It's funny how we shares those laughs, and a year goes fast,
I can't wait till another year goes past,
Grindin', tryin' make your ear lobes glass,
Diamonds, I put you in a pharaoh's arms,
Let's raise those glasses, nobody claimed that we lost it,
We just overcame all the crosses,
Everyone staring at your frame when you're passing,
Used to get me jealous,
I ain't changed I'm a bastard,
Only thing changed now I'm car sick,
Why? Cah you're driving me crazy,
We just went half's on a baby,
When I have half's on a scalies,
One day we will have a bunch like Brady's,
Right now we just gotta wait no creating,
I'm tryin' to stay on my feet like I'm lazy,
Now you can never leave or replace love,
Cause if we make one it will break us.
[Pre-Chorus: Wretch 32]
We should make a toast, cah we just went from one year to another,
And I never thought that we'd be this close,
We gotta fight when I ride you like a brother,
But you're my lover, so let's make a toast,
Cah we just went from one year to another,
And I never thought that we'd be this close,
We gotta fight when I ride you like a brother,
But you're my lover.
[Chorus: Alex Mills]
Baby take my hand, you're my everything,
When we made it through the storm again,
You're my hottie, you're my little thing,
Said every word would last but,
Every little passage,
We fall in love we fall in love we fall in love again.
[Verse 2: Wretch 32]
Look, sometimes I feel like you mirror me,
Cah you remind me of myself when we disagree,
Arguments, always seemed verbal, literally,
Then we'd get hotter than an inferno physically,
Yeh and I did never acted spiritually,
Until I saw mini me looking like a different me,
And, this is weird, cah this isn't me,
And this is over-hill softly killing me,
Stung like I was hit with a wasp and a killer bee
For the first time like I lost my virginity,
My egg gone no guillotine, I still get my game on, don't finish me,
Yeh and let me spring through the winter time,
The greatest season on earth gotta let it shine,
They never thought that we'd make it to the finish line,
Now we're on our victory lap upon the window vine,
[Pre-Chorus: Wretch 32]
We should make a toast, cah we just went from one year to another,
And I never thought that we'd be this close,
We gotta fight when I ride you like a brother,
But you're my lover, so let's make a toast,
Cah we just went from one year to another,
And I never thought that we'd be this close,
We gotta fight when I ride you like a brother,
But you're my lover.
[Chorus: Alex Mills]
Baby take my hand, you're my everything,
When we made it through the storm again,
You're my hottie, you're my little thing,
Said every word would last but,
Every little passage,
We fall in love we fall in love we fall in love again.
[Outro: Wretch 32]
And we share those laughs cah a year goes fast,
I can't wait till another year goes past,
And we share those laughs cah a year goes fast,
I can't wait till another year goes past,
And we share those laughs cah a year goes fast,
I can't wait till another year goes past,
We share those laughs cah a year goes fast,
[Intro: Talking]
It's crazy, cah I remember when I never felt like this.
It was only the other day I was 'Lying Next to You'.
I remember I done ish, you forgave me.
Even though I 'Can't Say' (heh).
But we both know 'Nothing Lasts Forever'.
(Psssh) Listen
[Verse 1:]
Cah I am not with you no more
Your no good for me, your just bringing me down
My son shines in the rain while your giving me clouds
I once cried and complained now I'm kicking out
Cah I refuse to live in doubt, I don't trust you
It's weird 'cause I love you, but fear cannot love
Who it chooses to scare
Now I'm stress out losing my hair
What's next I ain't losing the year
Your supposed to be me crutch
As of lately you provoked me enough
Especially when I'm closed to being up
I'm finishing my album, your tryna kick when I'm down and
Focusing on other tings, a real women's supposed to be mothering
Not like holding a grudge and ting, when I'm in the studio late
And when I don't come home for a few of the days
Out the week, that just means that I'm doing it babe
Allowed to speak, of course you are
But don't force it cah
I never liked that you crossed the line
You said something that shouldn't even cross your mind
And that's a criminal sentence so do the time
Without me. I'm just doing I
Allow me I am through that wire
I'm now free I am moving higher
I'm proud to see that your cruising Aiya
(Huh) But I am not beside ya
[Chorus:]
All That I Need
Is my own space, I've been chilling on my own for days, I say
All That I Need
Is my own space, I've been chilling on my own for days, I say
All That I Need
Is my own space, I've been chilling on my own for days, I say
All That I Need
Is my own space, I've been chilling on my own for days
[Verse 2:]
We got one another one's on the way
And right now we don't know if that one's gonna stay
Plus I can't look my son in the face, cah I remember the day
That I told his mum chuck him away
But she never listened
She gave birth I was there to vision
It's a boy was the words I whispered
(Huh) And I remember that look on your face
When the nurse said push it again
Your like I can't mommy, I was like your pushing it babe
Your like it's hard bubby, the tears would fall on your face
I'm like gwan honey
Then I gave you a kiss on your lips
(Huh) It's weird that I'm picturing this
Cah fastforward as I listen to this (All that I need)
Piss'd
(Huh) Listen we learnt a lesson that we'll never dismiss
Cah I never thought we'll end up like this
(Huh) Cah perfect films always end with a kiss
And I swear we're at the end of the script
Cah everytime I try read you, I just remember the bitch
I try leave you, and then I end up in bits
I don't think this could ever be fixed
[Chorus:]
All That I Need
Is my own space, cah I've been chilling on my own for days, I say
All That I Need
Is my own space, I've been chilling on my own for days, I say
All That I Need
Is my own space, cah I've been chilling on my own for days, I say
All That I Need
Is my own space, cah I've been chilling on my own for days
All That I Need
All That I Need
All That I Need
All That I Need
All That I Need
All That I Need
I'll be your super
I'll be your super
I'll be your superhero
I'll be your super
I'll be your super
I'll be your superhero
I'll be your superhero
I'll fly right by
I come to scoop you spend some dineros
Cause I'm that guy
Oh, babe,
Look, I'll be your superhero but just for the night
Confused my ego but just for the night
If you choose to leave home it's just for the night
Just for the hype... Why?
Cause if you live for today, I'll whisk you away
Superman style bring you to space
Choose a man like me think we're the same
Under links in a chain, babe
Cause I'm cooler than ice, I ain't cruisin' I glide
You should move with the times, cah they ain't smoother than I
Whoever told you I'm not that guy
Whoever told you that I'm not that fly
Pinocchio nose, that's one bad lie
I'll be your superhero
I'll fly right by
I come to scoop you spend some dineros
Cause I'm that guy
I'll be your superhero
I'll fly right by
(Superman style bring you to space)
I come to scoop you spend some dineros
Cause I'm that guy
(Choose a man like me, think we're the same)
Look babe I can make it thunder
Might save the day if I save your number
Might hate to wave babe but Wayne can wonder
And I ain't like him!
No, cah I'm nothin' like your ex-man, I'm something like an X-man
So assume I'm a mutant, I'm immune to the nuisance
My lines are slim!
And I ain't one to wait on you
And I ain't got my game on true
I ain't got a cape on
Ain't got an "S" on the chest that my chain's on - boo
Whoever told you I'm not that guy
Whoever told you that I'm not that fly
Pinocchio nose that's one bad lie
I'll be your superhero
I'll fly right by
(Superman style bring you to space)
I come to scoop you spend some dineros
Cause I'm that guy
(Choose a man like me, think we're the same)
I'll be your superhero
I'll fly right by
I come to scoop you spend some dineros
Cause I'm that guy
(I'll be your super
I'll be your super
I'll be your superhero)
I'll be your hero
I'll be your hero
I'll be your hero
I'll be your hero
Listen,
Babe, I'm cooler than ice, I ain't cruisin' I glide
You should move with the times, cah they ain't smoother than I
Whoever told you I'm not that guy
Whoever told you that I'm not that fly
Fasten your seatbelt

Rolling through London, I've been cruising a while
I see a man in a feud with his girl
Yeah about losing his child
She was crying him a river I guess she's in denial
And the car ain't tinted, and this aint none of our business
So we aint trying to stare too long
Me and the driver look like there aint one of us listening
And not one of us listening,
Probably both had a row with our sisterin,
While the whole street witnessed
Just gotta turn a blind eye, no winking
We still rolling, we shoulda took the other way
I'm still moaning
I shoulda kept that to myself, still told him
So now he's going all the way, real sulkish
Clubs are closed, I'm gettin mad
Like would you take a look at these lads
Trying to stop a cab like they can't see man
Alcohol got em feeling like they can't be slapped
And one of them's vomitting kebab
And the other one's hoppin on his back
And his girl tryin to pick him up
That's the one time that she's gotta be the man
[Chorus - Daley]
Taking the long way home again
Watching the world drag, in the rain
There's motion but there's no change
It's the same old, same old
Race till it's over yeah
[Wretch 32]
Rolling through London, where we slipped on a junction
I don't wanna see any more drunkards
And I'm talking to myself cause
I wanna conversation with a little more substance
And it's alright, it's in the brain
And what a surprise it's gonna rain
And we still speed past the homeless
And still act like we ain't got enough change
I guess summat's gotta change,
traffic light he stuntin in a range
Imagine I'm sat lusting at the paint
While the prostitute screamed that she never got paid
Cuz she thinks that she never got raped
She's still got the mind of a child
That only happens when you never get raised
Trapped in a cycle that you can never escape
(woahh)
And this shit used to burn me
(burn me yeah)
And that's why it's part of my verse B
Sitting in a back of a cab, guess this is part of my journey
(part of life)
Cuz this shit used to burn me
(oh yeah)
And that's why it's part of my verse B
(Ba ba ba la la)
Sitting in the back if a cab, guess this is part of my journey yeah
(Oh oh oh woah)
[Chorus - Daley]
Taking the long way home again
Watching the world drag, in the rain
There's motion but there's no change
It's the same old, same old race till it's over yeah
[Wretch 32]
And these things used to burn me, but now they just part of my journey
And these things used to burn me, but now they just part of my journey
And these things used to burn me, but now they just part of my journey
And these things used to burn me, but now they just part of my journey
(Oh oh oh woah)
[Chorus - Daley]
Taking the long way home again
Watching the world drag, in the rain
There's motion but there's no change
It's the same old, same old race till it's over yeah
Taking the long way home again
Because there's no way home from here
Show me a side,
I'll start making my own way back when it's over, over, over
This is the champion sound
A sound feared by many
Reaching into your veins
And into the very core of your heart
While many have tried many have failed
But now one man, one man did succeed
oh, ah yeah
Ishi 2 Stripes and Wretch'o boy
I guess it's our year
Flying around the globe
I'ma do it so big
It aint that hard to tell that my spirit roll dis
Flyer than anything that I paid for
Burnin' through paper
Funny what I do with no spliff
But there's nothing I cant do with no drink
Thats why the Disaronno got me feeling so Cris
Yeah see I am already sorted
You can tweet bout me like you done with poor Giggs
And now I'm drinking away my fears
I guess everything became so clear
I'm saying its a new beginning and I'm hooked on loose women
So you just name the place I'm there
If you aint playing it safe no more
Let me here you say sane's the, sane's the new mad
Let me here you say sane's the, sane's the new mad
Let me see your hands up
If you've never been arrested got my hands down
Cos they got me on the next ting
cos i have stolen so many hearts
and i just wanna hold em and tear em apart
Yeah woke up this morning with a chick I dont know
Saying she ain't a fan but she saying don't go
I used the X Factor line again, let's play Simon says
Now all you gotta do is go home
And now I'm riding so low
You only end up in the frame when you take a photo
I say my stunners got me feeling stone cold
Now I feel to hop the bar like I gotta povo
Now I'm drinking away my fears
I guess everything became so clear
I'm saying its a new beginning and I'm hooked on loose women
So you just name the place I'm there
If you aint playing it safe no more
Let me here you say sane's the, sane's the new mad
Let me here you say sane's the, sane's the new mad
Let me see your hands up

And I just wanna hold em and tear em apart
Yeah cos the thought of paying tax

Welcome to my world (x4)
Welcome to my wretchrospective
I'm like welcome to my world
Where no one's ahead of the rich
And every DJ said I'm the best
I'm still underground I'ma shine
I'm gonna get my legs in the steps
But the journey to success be a hell of a leap
It seems worth it but all when I ask for help
I keep working ask myself
Rap for the great shit I rap for the days in now somehow
I still got a fight for the playlist
I'm creating my writing's amazing
And everyone's waiting on a hit I get naked
I make classics my music's tragic
To live what you write that's the truest talent
Then they telling me I shouldn't do rap
When I grew with that reggae abashment
I ain't the same as there anything clash men
I do music for the love not trying to get a reload
Squeezing in clubs
I do this for UK unplugged Coco Jazz, caps old too stuff
Run down and try to leave the whole room touched
This with a few of my songs
That's my dream if what I'm pursuing is wrong I'ma leave, I'ma leave
Welcome to my world (x4)
Look I'm like welcome to my world
In the street ain't a problem but tryin' to get sleep ain't an option
Then come my son keeps crying but I must keep writing
Every day I'm getting up before the sun be rising
Tryin' to see fun so my sun keeps shining
Parts to the drums and my mom keeps smiling
Though she ain't been the same since my grand mom died
And I've been away like I ain't had no time
World's on my shoulders, sun's in my face
Who would try to put a universe on tape
The words I'm great I'll soon be a star
I could never rally with Venus or Mars
I'm high on this road I won't stop till it's free
Under vising our self
I'm so on my grain I don't have time for a wife
I don't have time for a life
Only when I die and I smell it for a glee
'Cause religions never die I'll be sitting off in heaven
I'ma fly aye
we will not quit this is my dream
Me and Z we spent too much bees
Our music always takes money
But I tell you this for free it don't always make money
I've come this far and I've lost it I've lost
Put my chances I'm gonna pass every artist
Welcome to my world (x4)
I'm like welcome to my world when you want more from my mixtape
I'm still singing songs like an album
Why they doubt it I'ma offer that script writes
Over a B I described
The roll in the street getting inside
It felt tight ooze when I spit rhymes
It's more like a fume in a disk aye
Expose how I feel from a chris mic
Her a chose meet to the movie
I'm the road emotion's an uligy
How it goes down it's the truth I speak
They can't pay me like I do
Despite these clothes I'm missing the right tune
Jay Z's clothes but it's missing the end scene
Hug them both I deliver a friendsie
I'm rich free
I been a wretch from about 3 or 2
cruisin on the tele it was on channel 2
my dad was in the riots so they came to seize you
growing up I was a kid that everybody knew
more me, its like I'm never in the mood
a true pisces my emotions in my tunes
its an understatement to say its over with me and you
I took a few shots but I'm soldiering it through
and now I'm looking at my boys turned men
thinkin lord god we coulda been like them
cuz we aint the type to fear our opponents
the road door closed when my career pass opened
its like I'm drinking more than I'm thinking
celebrating as I'm crossing off my wish list
I'm sleeping with both eyes open
I'm living my dream man, I dont wanna miss this
I'm not the man you thought I should be
that's just the way we drop them jeans where I stay
I'm not the man you thought I should be
just take a second get to know me
It takes a second just to look me in my eyes
it takes an hour just to listen to my life
it took me years just to push me to this hype
but it take a lifetime to try and duplicate my vibe I'm me
smooth with my scratches and scars I'm free
2 minute stamp on the charts
and I'm sending a letter, I hope you receive it
hand on my heart Imma flow while its beating
to put it in words, it coulda been worse
from the undergrounds I coulda been dirt
I took a right turn at a wrong place
cuz sometimes shortcuts are the long way
gotta have strong faith
now I'm pleading with my baby mamma
she tryin to tell me that I turned into a lady lover
huh, I got my eye on the prize and I'm bringing home the bread
lets make a toast, you can save the butter
I'm not the man you thought I should be
that's just the way we drop them jeans where I stay
I'm not the man you thought I should be
just take a second get to know me
I'm not the man you thought I should be
that's just the way we drop them jeans where I stay
I'm not the man you thought I should be
just take a second get to know me
Hey yo wretch
let me get this from here, yeah
last month a 14 year old in my hood got stabbed and died
I used to cruise on my bike down that same side road that he lost his life
I fill a cup with tears and kick it back like a shot just to swallow my pride
niggas would eat from your bowl and you keep down like a pin coulda hold a strike
you dont know what its like
getting cheese amongst a rats fam
from a town where robin could rob batman
taxman underneath the taxman giving me that tax man
I'd rather die from death man
and everything aint what it seems on these shelves
you parting red seas and A&R; in ourselves
and you can still get a deal and get shelved
getting signed wont necessarily help
all this fire in my tank
I've come too far to get shanked
I'm walking on water that others sank
and I'm laughing all the way to the bank
power of the grime, lord on my side
test me, I can make a preacher man grimes
from a council estate but yeah we made it
best things can come from the worse places
I'm not the man you thought I should be
that's just the way we drop them jeans where I stay
I'm not the man you thought I should be
just take a second get to know me
I'm not the man you thought I should be
that's just the way we drop them jeans where I stay
I'm not the man you thought I should be
Holding on, tryna be somebody
Well it won't be long before you need somebody
Holding on, tryna be somebody
Well it won't be long before you need somebody
Excuse me my friend, I forgot you was standing there
Excuse me my friend, I don't remember who I am
All I know is I was reaching for the stars
Let go of everyone I had from the start, the start
Forgiveness, asking for forgiveness
Forgiveness, asking for forgiveness
Feel like I'm slackin' with my children
Focusing on rap tryna back and shake the building
In a race with my own race, just to raise the roof
And I ain't talking 'bout the ceiling
Here's something to believe in:
No sleep, cause you're livin' what you're dreamin'
And it's the lesson in itself
I've my son to call me dad when I miss the parents evenings
Amazed I'm still breathin';
Every other shot I feel my insides bleedin'.
Grandad, turnin' in his grave,
Cah I promised that I'll be there for my gran when she's grievin'
I used to be a man of my word;
Now, time seems to have got the best of my sentence
In that case I'll have to adjourn,
Cause the thought of an excuse is just as bad as the intention
Excuse me, my friend
I think I might've hit my head
Excuse me, my friend
I don't remember who I am
Cause I'm holdin' on tryna be somebody
But it won't be long before I need somebody
Forgiveness, asking for forgiveness (hey, hey, hey, hey)
Forgiveness, asking for forgiveness (hey, hey, hey, hey)
Went to church to pray for a top ten
Then I went number 5, I ain't been back again
But when my jewellery friend phones
Like they got new rings I'll most likely attend
Hoppin' out a new benz, start the car from outside
When is this gonna end?
My mum's still livin' in the endz,
Spent jibs on tha wrist before I put her with celebs
I'm still livin' like a wretch
All I hear is fuck, fuck
All the girls have got tourettes
And no I don't wanna bet
Even the odd bird wanna take me to the nest
I swear I only came for the music, but the more I touch notes,
It's like the more I get stupid
It's a gift and a curse, but before I blame myself,
I'm a say it's what the tune did
Excuse me, my friend
I think I might've hit my head
Excuse me, my friend
I don't remember who I am
Cause I'm holdin' on tryna be somebody
But it won't be long before I need somebody
Forgiveness, asking for forgiveness (hey, hey, hey, hey)
Forgiveness, asking for forgiveness (hey, hey, hey, hey)
Forgiveness, asking for forgiveness (hey, hey, hey, hey)
Forgiveness (hey, hey, hey, hey)
Forgiveness (hey, hey, hey, hey)
My shows home, go go this is my entrance
I raise the bar, pole volt it's rapathletics
A famous star on his own counting blessings
Listen, hey look, I didn't want to separate, but with bad gravity, how we going to elevate? Sometimes you get closer from a step away, and I would never say (please don't let me go) But I just wanted her to hold me, it's funny I was trying to better her with the old me. If you don't wake up to love, why go to sleep, in the cold sheets? (please don't let me go) So none of us will fall down, and we can wear camouflage in the war house. I am not trying to run your life or walk out, so let your thoughts out. (please don't let me go) We can go our different ways, but that don't mean I want to see my son on different days. I say that with a passion, like the lyrics on my page, and we will not live again so,
(Please don't let me go, I just want you to hold me, I don't want to be lonely, I'm flying close to the ground, please don't let me go. I'm flying close to the ground, please don't let me go)
Now this is probably the first sign of madness, but as a boy I was going through mad stress, I took man of the house when my dad left, but I never had rent (please don't let me go). At sixteen on a bad flex, mum told me he was rolling for my bags then?, look I was just going through a phase, never have since, I was just acting. (please don't let me go) Because I was close to a dead end, because your stood on your own with your friends then. I said I was cool, I was spending, I was just pretending (please don't let me go). But I thank God for all of that, because you taught me how to walk without crawling back, and now I am running forward, no falling back, this is what you call a rap.
(please don't let me go, I just want you to hold me, I don't want to be lonely, I'm flying close to the ground, please don't let me go. I'm flying close to the ground, please don't let me go)
This is coming from my heart and soul saying please don't let me go (repeated in background)
(This is the sound of the harmony, you make me sing.
You bring out the best of me, in every special way, hey ohhhhh. It's the sound of my heart saying, 'Don't let go, don't let go, please don't let me go.'
I used to see him every day,
I used to rate this guy,
Didn't know that they made change that size,
Had my whole house on a neighbor's vibe - lookin' out the window he's on a flagrant hype,
First guy i saw with the butterfly baura, cut-a-guy aura, had my mum sayin' you touching my daughter,
Way too bad breed, half the youths on road, claimed they were family,
They got out the beef if you said he's name, first guy rollin' when Fiesta's came,
Offkey diss, (?), Champagne sipping with expensive taste!
Wait, i'm talking back in the days when, you'll have a tiny little party and you fade when,
It weren't BB Pins it was paging, he had Sticks and Stones like the cavemen.
Yeah,
Man i swear he was a Braveheart, he weren't really playin' games in the SEGA Park, no, couple'o names tryin'a save their arse,
'Cause it put their mind at, ease when they made him laugh,
Yeah,
He had the world on his back, and had the ends in his palms,
Yeah,
He was the last man standing,
Yeah,
Because his friends didn't last,
Man i swear he had a legacy, Yeah, street name straight legendary Yeah, and now he's sitting in jail telling this same story like, i wonder if they remember me...
How could he be that person,
My life's cold, (cold!)
When everybody saw you as a king, (king!)
And then you get dethroned, (dethroned!)
'Cause i don't wanna be that person,
Like man she was cold!
'Cause everyone saw her as a queen, (queen!) Yeah,
And then she gets dethroned...
I used to see her everyday, young youth begging for a hug, with that cute smile i could never get enough,
You'll only get a word if you're relevent enough, the type of angel causing hell up on the bus,
Couldn't let her pass you had to chit-chat with her, probably try and share your lickle Kit-Kat with her,
Yeah,
Spending hours on the home phone god knows you nearly got kicked out fi' her!
Yeah,
I'm like, isn't it a shame, the only girl popping off the (?) in the wave, the primary school queen, secondary's dream, legendary team, the picture's in the frame,
'Cause you went to the dance just to draw her, and if you locked off the dance it was for her,
Might of heard 'couple man fall out, and two two's it was for her,
So the looks started getting to her head, every man's talking trying to get into her bed,
And then she laid down with one too many and the mad ting is not one of them's an ex!
And when she was looking for a someone, Yeah, It was preferably a someone,
She found him, they were living their dream and this one guy turned (?) her friends and her loved ones,
When i saw her she didn't look right, but who am i to tell her that she didn't look nice,
Now picture she with her man on a Prison V, he's asking her "Do the roads still remember me?"
How could he be that person,
My life's cold, (cold!)
When everybody saw you as a king, (king!)
And then you get dethroned, (dethroned!)
'Cause i don't wanna be that person,
Like man she was cold!
'Cause everyone saw her as a queen, (queen!) Yeah,
And then she gets dethroned...
I'm like man, how you let yourself go?
Yeah,
Life's cold,
Whoa,
Yeah,
I'm like man how you let yourself go...
Yeah,
Life's Cold,
Whoa,
Yeah,
[Jacob Banks]
I was a lonely man, you can find me downtown
Playing blues songs for anybody that comes round
Now they hear me sing, they want to come round round
I been waiting long for the sun to shine down
I'm doing ok
I'm doing ok
I'm doing ok
I'm doing ok
Mmmhmm
[Wretch 32]
Imagine that
Never gave a sh*t, now I'm giving back
When the lights hurt my brain
Sometimes I pray for a blackout
When the candles are placed
Nothing more I crave than a blackout
Let there be no light
Let there be no light, 'til the sunrise
Let there be no light
Only then will I open my eyes
Let there be no light
Is there a light of mine
It's like my peace of mind
Even when I'm in the dark
Still gotta let me shine
Let me fly, my mind's got wings on it
Gotta play that ground, got pink on it
My little bro's got a sixth on it
I splash cash and I drink solid
I don't wanna act bad, don't wanna see a pap' flash
I just wanna black out without backlash
Don't wanna hear snap snap snap, that sh*t gets annoying
Wanna be alive, not just employed
There, following my heart
Even the light's got faith in the dark, amen
When the lights hurt my brain
Sometimes I pray for a blackout
When the candles are placed
Nothing more I crave than a blackout
Let there be no light
Let there be no light, 'til the sunrise
Let there be no light
Only then will I open my eyes
Let there be no light
Is it that way you move your hips, or that piercing on your lips
Or that there Serrano flowing, like it's serving through a drip
I am no longer a person, I'm a star up in the b*tch
So I talk with body language, my vocabulary is sh*t
Got a feeling that you're feeling how I'm feeling
Would waking up with me tomorrow morning make your evening
If so, let's find a corner in the place that I can breathe in
My ego's claustrophobic, you should know we've had a threesome
Leave it
When the lights hurt my brain
Sometimes I pray for a blackout
When the candles are placed
Nothing more I crave than a blackout
Let there be no light
Let there be no light, 'til the sunrise
Let there be no light
Only then will I open my eyes
Let there be no light
Take away my light
Take away my shine
Take away my eyesight
Give me a beat and let me rhyme
When the lights hurt my brain
Sometimes I pray for a blackout
When the candles are placed
Nothing more I crave than a blackout
