Lyrics
Um, let me go See my family Please, Father, let me go As my mother sleeps Whoo-oo-ooh, oo-ooh (Life) I don't know about James Bond But 'round here nobody lives twice When you're gone, you're gone without no bye 'Cause only a judge can give you life (yeah) This is my advice Trust me, I nearly lost my life Three weeks after I got this ride Pissed like I had too much wine (wine) Wished I didn't get one Anyway, I was gettin' to the Macbeth booked for a set Even though I didn't have a set one Skream hit the decks, I was like check one Put on a show, but it weren't my best one Left it, dropped off blacks at his destination Then I was off to the next one 20 minutes later, I was on the M1 (Tired) But I kept on goin' Fell asleep without even knowin' No emotion in my face No movement in my legs, but the car still kept goin' Woke up Lorry (flash) Panic (break) Skid (crash) Skidded (more) Bang (smash) Out (cold) Ribs (cracked) Ouch! I was in so much pain Crawled out of a Mégane That now looked like a Mini When I was still on the first lane Baffled, didn't even know my name Fainted, too much shock in my brain Surrounded by paramedics and feds Tryna get up but fainted again See, I just want you to take a sec and hear me out Don't think I'm happy 'cause I smile when you see me out I've had serious madnesses where I've nearly disappeared Oh, I'm beggin' Lord to save me And let me go To see my family And keep it inside With dry eyes while my brother weeps Save my soul Please, Father, let me go And keep me safe As my mother sleeps Eyes closed, they just wouldn't open I can hear voices and my phone ringin' Fighting for life, can't tell if I'm winnin' One of the worst situations I've been in I can hear all of the angels singin' (Whoo-oo-ooh, oo-ooh) But when it stopped hummin' My brain turned on, stared runnin' Still in pain, but it started numbin' The stone cold comeback I made was stunnin' I still tried to do a few shows 'Cause I didn't wanna tell them that I weren't comin' But I was left with a permanent problem Nobody knows about the pain that I'm in (sly) Ever so cunnin' Six weeks later, joggin' and runnin' I used the first aid kit like a drum set Picked up the tools and I gave it a drummin' Trust me, when it comes to mistakes You can't afford to let one in Never done dream for a while The pipeline was blocked so I learnt and done a bit of plumbin' (days) Say tomorrow never dies But he forgot to tell you, "You can" You can have a sicker clan than Wu-Tang But when your time's up, that's it, it's you fam You can try beg for another Sometimes, I'll be on my way to a show Thinkin', "I just wanna see my brother" Then do a U-turn, I'm gone, one up See, I just want you to take a second, hear me out Don't think I'm happy cause I smile when you see me out I've had serious madnesses where I've nearly disappeared Oh, I'm beggin' Lord to save me And let me go To see my family And keep it inside With dry eyes while my brother weeps Save my soul Please, Father, let me go And keep me safe (Let's my mother sleep) Let me go To see my family And keep it inside With dry eyes While my brother weeps Save my soul Please, Father, let me go And keep me safe
