Babe

[Verse 1]

Sitting at home, watching TV weren't paying the bills

Played the lottery every Saturday and Wednesday hoping that I win some mills

All I had was a black phone, pool table and a few musical skills

Tryna make money in a place where everybody's looking for deals

I was a little man with a mouth full of stones watching the olders play Jenga

I only had Dubs and everybody else had Scream and Benga

Responsibility of the oldest child tryna feed each family member

So sitting at home making love to my princess weren't on my agenda

It weren't January but I told her that I'm out there tryna find some sales

I stoped showing her love so she got on the first train to London and went off the rails

Started to party all the time in the West End with idiot girls

It was only a matter of time before she had sex with somebody else

I got money in the bank now but when I came back it weren't the same

Telling me stories I don't wanna hear 'bout crazy nights and cocaine

You would've thought that she was getting money for every time she said her ex-boyfriend's name

But I guess that's the price I paid for a little piece and a big chain

[Hook]

Babe, I'm here again

I tell you I'm here again

Where have you been?

Babe, I'm back again

I tell you I'm back again

Where have you been?

[Verse 2]

I picked myself up now I've got "self made" tattooed on my skin

I'm the kind of man that won't play the game if I ain't gonna win

Sometimes I feel like I threw the perfect relationship in the bin

But I'm a big man with facial hair and a beard so I take it on the chin

If I could turn back time and make it all right, God knows I would

'Cause no matter how much I do now, I feel like I'm not doing as much as I should

It's like the meaning of life for a woman is to make a bad boy turn good

That's why there's so many old school G's under the thumb and single mums in the hood

I've seen karma part 1 & 2 now I'm just waiting on the sequel

Crazy nightmares are one of my old cats trying to stab me with a needle

My dad phoned me last night and told me that "money's the root of all evil"

I told him "in this day and age money's the only thing that's motivating people"

It's funny how I woke up early in the morning tryna chase the queen

But slept on the perfect girl chasing a dream

I don't know why I keep lying to myself this slate will never be clean

I wanna talk to her about it but for now I just settle with a answer machine

[Hook]

Babe, I'm here again

I tell you I'm here again

Where have you been?

Babe, I'm back again

I tell you I'm back again

Where have you been?
