You Raised Me

Yeah

Hold on

(Boom productions) Adding it up

I might be confusing

You worked hard when we needed to get fruit

To make sure we have meals, and to get juice

To buy us all the new clothes, and the best shoes

That you could afford it at all, it would stress you

(Shit)

You took a load at my cheek, then

Beat me all over the weekend

I didn't know, couldn't see then

You teachin' me and my bros how to be men (Men)

Even if you got paid in the worst way

You made sure I got cake on my birthday

(Yeah) (Yeah) It wasn't even for your sake

I bet you never got to sleep at your work rate (Yes)

Dropped me to my first rave

And told me it weren't safe, with a hurt face (Shit)

So, I came in early, it was Thursday

You know my mum's always thinkin' the worst case

I tried my best to help out, mum, you raised me (Yeah)

I know you're feelin' stressed out, and I blame me

I could be good, but it ain't me

I think the hood kinda changed me (Ah)

I tried my best to help out, mum, you raised me

I know you're feelin' stressed out, and I blame me

I could be good, but it ain't me

I think the hood kinda changed me

You got pissed at me running weed (Weed)

Then I started gettin' nicked every other week (Week)

I got kicked out, sent to live with my dad, but the prick never wanted me

Started rollin' with shit you didn't wanna see (See)

Tried to show me the way, I didn't wanna see (Shit)

I made your life hectic, and for all the dumb shit that I did

I wanna give an apology (Sorry)

I just thought, "Ah, shit, doesn't bother me" (Shit)

But I forgot about you, and that's wrong of me (Wrong of me)

Went down a bad path, but you followed me (Yeah)

What's why stick my hand out if you can't cope (Cope)

That's why I give you grands now if you're half broke (Yes)

Forgive me, I've been an asshole

I wanna give you everything that you asked for

I tried my best to help out, mum, you raised me

I know you're feelin' stressed out, and I blame me

I could be good, but it ain't me

I think the hood kinda changed me

I tried my best to help out, mum, you raised me

I know you're feelin' stressed out, and I blame me

I could be good, but it ain't me

I think the hood kinda changed me
