lyrics

No intro I heard attention spans are short now
So Pastor hits record and I just talk now
No pen I don’t need to write my thoughts down
Just let it all out the beat catches me when I fall down
And I’ve been down for weeks I can’t shake it
I’m in a dark place I can’t really see what I’m facing
The man in the mirror’s staring back like mate you gotta make it
You had plans to really get inside your bag and fam this ain’t it
Yeah I know it but I can’t feel it
And it’s hard to plan a future when you can’t see it
They can’t see it cos you’re so used to masking it
I never get help that’s why I never ask for it
Dealing with pain I can’t explain beyond these four walls
Then back to promoting my album like it’s all cool
Probably need to talk but still ignore calls
Snapping at my wife that wasn’t called for
She said it feels like I’m losing you
I said I feel like I’m losing myself I don’t know who is who
It’s mad when you can’t see the beauty in the beautiful
And I don’t need much just a patty and a supermalt
I just want a hug from my mum a kiss from my nan
Not winning but I’m doing the best that I can
Felt like I had it all and let it slip through my hands
But you know me I’m never one to sit on my hands
Jordan Stephens DM’s me when he saw some tweets that I wrote down
It hit me how somebody related and I just broke down
Sometimes we just need to be heard and validated
It’s not just enough to get old we gotta grow now
Three times in a row now I missed Wordsmiff’s call
I been going through it bruv it’s nothing personal
I ain’t really been answering calls from anyone
Got some personal issues that I’ve been working though
Terry just WhatsApp’d and messed up my recording
Oi Pastor leave it in and remind me I gotta call him
I know my communication’s appalling
That’s why my rapping’s so much better than my talking
That’s why you hear so much feeling in the bars
I’m nice with it still but it’s deeper than just bars
This is real life pain, real life scars
We’re the ones we’re the real life stars
Heart broke they didn’t find that kid missing
Only nineteen rest in peace Richard
I just feel for his parents and his family
That’s a hurt I don’t know how they’re supposed to live with
They say DMX won’t make it man you hear this
That’s a man who gives us so much through his lyrics
Nah dog you gotta pull through
Cos you’re the one who told me to get up when I was slipping
And I know this won’t stream like my last song
But that’s cool for the money we do the dance songs
This ain’t for the radio or no playlist
This is just something to put my heart on
If you relate to it hit repeat and blaze to it
Meditate and pray for better days to it
I made this for you to get you through the day to it
I do my part then let Shapes do his
