Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mmm, let me go
To see my family
Please, Father, let me go
As my mother sleeps
[Verse 2]
I don't know about days gone
But round here, nobody lives twice
When you're gone, you're gone, without no bye
'Cause only a judge can give you life
This is my advice
Trust me, I nearly lost my life
3 weeks after I got this rhyme
Pissed like I had way too much wine
[Verse 3]
Wish that I didn't get one, anyway
I was going to the Macbeth, booked for the 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)
[Verse 4]
But I kept on going, fell asleep without even knowing
No motion in my face, no movement in my legs
But the car still kept going
Woke up Lorry
Flash, panic break, skid, crash
Skidded more, bang, smash
Out cold, ribs cracked, ouch
[Verse 5]
I was in so much pain
Crawled out of a Megane 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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
To see my family
And keep it inside
Dry eyes, while my brother weeps
Save my soul
Please, Father, let me go
Keep me safe, as my mother sleeps
[Verse 8]
Eyes closed, they just wouldn't open
I can hear voices, and my phone ringing
Fighting for life, can't tell if I'm winning
One of the worst situations I've been in
I can hear all of the angels singing
[Verse 9]
But when it stopped humming
My brain turned on, started running
Still in pain, but it started numbing
The stone cold comeback I made was stunning
[Verse 10]
I still tried to do a few shows
'Cause I didn't wanna tell them that I weren't coming
But I was left with a permanent problem
Nobody knows about the pain that I'm in (Inside)
Ever so cunning
[Verse 11]
6 weeks later, jogging and running
I used the first aid kit like a drum set
Picked up the tools and I gave it a drumming
Trust me, when it comes to mistakes
You can't afford to let one in
Never done dream for a while
The black plan was blocked
So I learned and done a bit of planning
[Verse 12]
They say tomorrow never dies
But they 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
Thinking, "I just wanna see my brother"
Then do a U-Turn, I'm gone, runner
[Verse 13]
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
[Verse 14]
To see my family
And keep it inside
Dry eyes, while my brother weeps
Save my soul
Please, Father, let me go
Keep me safe, as my mother sleeps
And let me go to see my family
And keep it inside
Dry eyes, while my brother weeps
Save my soul
Please, Father, let me go
Keep me safe
