[Verse 1: Natty]
Come & listen to my story, make yourself feel right at home
Cause every time i step up to the microphone
I'm always giving it my all & telling you about my life at home
& just in-case you're wondering why it is i write so cold
Well it's all because i've been down in the dumps
Never had enough money, pounds or above
So I'm smoking all this ganja, I'm drowning my lungs
& I never thought that i would be, found to become
Struggling to live-life, the money isn't in-sight
& my dad is working three jobs just so that we can live-right
But it doesn't seem to work out, I hate the way things turned out
& when i try to write about it, i can't get the words out
That is why i wait a bit & write from the heart
Right from the start i never lied in my bars
So i fight with my past to try & hide all these scars
But when i fell apart i couldn't find another path
So i was left alone to wonder down this cold street
I'm glad to see I'm gradually departing from the old me
"Keep your head up high" is what a friend once told me
& no one knows the real me cause what i show is phoney
But during the space off three years, i've done my best to move on
Venting over these beats, made me write a new song
For two years i had a weak mind, but now i've grown strong
I feel depression slipping away, i can no longer hold on
(Hold on)
I've been awake for four days, i've been getting no sleep
I've been receiving more pain, on d** I'm gonna O.D
You're nothing but a fake friend, me & you ain't homies
You made it more than blatant but it's something that you don't see
All you ever did was turn my life up-side-down
You tell me i need to loosen up cause I'm up-tight-now
Bruv you need to pipe-down, I'm flipping my life right-round
Music is the spark inside my heart that will never die-down
Real Talk. These are my, real thoughts
Still tryna get paid cause my parents are, still poor
I'm screaming out to god until my voice doesn't feel horse
& until the day I'm happy, frozen ice will still course
Through my veins. Yeah, I didn't choose this lane
But now I'm on the road to happiness, I'm nearly through with pain
But then all the hatred inside, grew again
I know i've made a few mistakes, but I couldn't pick a truer mate
You've always had my back strong, you helped me take the weight away
& on the day's i was feeling so low, & wanted to fade away
You was there to help me out straight away
I'm grateful for the fact that you've given me a place to stay
When i really needed it, & i really needed it
Depression is a b**h, I'm just happy that I'm free of it
All of that is old news, so forget what i have told you
Cause this is the going to be the last time i'll ever speak of it
(Speak of it)
