Jeez (feel like you've been), yeah, yeah, this one -
This one sounds good
This one sounds old-school
This one sounds like misfits, like -
This one sounds like -
This one feels like story time
This one feels like -, yo
Woke up on the wrong side of the bed again
Banging me head on the wall
Said I weren’t getting leathered again yesterday
Only to wake up again tomorrow's fool
Like when I bunk school with me mates back in the day
And bloody got nicked on the truant
Saw myself on the CCTV, didn't I?
And still said that I didn’t do it, screw it
Wish I could askew the old me
Scold him with the hottest of water
But then where'd all the naughtiness come from?
And how would I write down what I'm oughtta?
And I've been seeing this bird here for months now
And it's only in happiness that I have brought her
But still a slave to my last name, ain't I?
Just see me daddy get married for a fourth time
Wanna get rid of me slave name, but then I wouldn't be me
What a conundrum to be in, in 2023
Tired of running away
Looking for sunshine in me today
(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
Wanna get rid of me slave name, but then I wouldn't be me
What a conundrum to be in, in 2023
Tired of running away
Looking for sunshine in me today
(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
Still finding the old slave trade
Telephones for eyes on the daily (daily)
Looking for likes on the time line (time line)
To disturb all the hurt I mask daily (daily)
And it’s still a hundred percent fuck you pay me
Been wobbling on the cobbles for years
Still out here stepping on graft now
No wonder there’s terrible gear, cor!
How a dozen beers whoop me arse now? (Whoops me)
Out on the razz with me peers (peers)
Me mate Charlie called me up for the bender (Charlie bender)
Too busy in the car crying tears
Man, I got the belt, all the ribbons, all the titles (all)
Delinquency records unsmeared
She asked me what my name is, I said, "The Rival"
Dictator of all the things I revere, yeah
Wanna get rid of me slave name, but then I wouldn't be me
What a conundrum to be in, in 2023
Tired of running away
Looking for sunshine in me today
(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)

(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
I don't get old, I just get older
Can't you tell by all my actions?
Top heavy like an improper fraction
Bevy after bevy on me old tax return (cleanse)
But even the stone favors change
Jagged rocks wash smooth pebble
Searching for sun rays in England
Might need some help from the old cold devil
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah
Wanna get rid of me slave name, but (yeah-yeah)
Then I wouldn't be me (yeah-yeah)
What a conundrum to be in, in 2023
Tired of running away

Tired of running away
Looking for sunshine in me today
I like to be free
Um, I don't know
I like to be free
Um, I don't know
