Elli Ingram - Let Me Be lyrics

(Hook) If it means that I've got to start the fire I will Burn my bridges to ash Let it light up my path If it means that I can forget the pain I feel I'll let go of my past now theres no turning back I will Verse 1 (Benny Banks) Looking back a few years when I was on my face I had to move back to my mothers cos I lost my place And I wanted by the jakes but her address was bait So I started sofa surfing at my cousin blakes My baby mother stressing, she try to cause me trouble She left my mind puzzled, so I hit the bottle Never been the type of man to tell someone I need a cuddle Trapped up in this shell I just want someone to burst my bubble Trying to feed my kid but I hardly eat myself I couldn't be myself man I always feeling dwell I don't are if they don't feel me I don't feel myself Back then, I wished I was dead and I mean for real I left this feeling in my stomach had me feeling ill, cos my reflection in this mirror was of somebody else Something that very second I had to change myself Lost faith but found pride not to degrade myself (Hook) Let me be Let me be Let me be Let me be Let me be I will (x2) Verse 2 (Benny Banks) Look a new beginning with a feeling that there's something missing My bruddas up in prison we communicate through letters I just tell him that I got him and to keep his head up They can't stop us so they had to get us Expect the worse but always aim for better Paper planes just to ease the pressure You hear the pain up in my acapela My raps are natural I ain't acting clever Made a law forgive me for the life I've lived, I still ain't been confession to relieve my sins, wondering if love exists Hates the only thing they give, my life's harder than a father tryna feed his kid Now its peak cos I'm a father tryna feed my kid and I don't want my kid to ever have to live this life I've lived Absorbing all my cries within I think its time to think Half way through my twenties just about to see my life begin (Hook) Let me be Let me be Let me be Let me be Let me be I will (x2) Now I'm getting caught up with my alto-ego Found out what I seek now I seek now I'm a start a sequel I hardly socialize with any people Cos most the people I came across became deceitful Tryna make my 15 minutes last a half an hour Paranoid I'm tryna turn my money turn to power And let that power turn my half an hour to an hour All this money now my mummy say she finally proud of (Hook)
