Hmm let me go,
|
To see my family.
|
Please Father let me go,
|
As my mother sleeps.
|
|
I don't know about days gone,
|
But round here nobody lives twice.
|
When your gone, your gone, without no bye,
|
Because 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,
|
It seems like I had too much wine.
|
Which that I I didn't get one,
|
Anyway, I was going to the ? booked for a 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.
|
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.
|
I was in so much pain,
|
Crawled out of a Megan 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,
|
Trying to get up but fainted again.
|
|
I just want you to take a second, hear me out.
|
Don't think I'm happy cuz I smile when you see me out.
|
I've had serious madnesses where I've nearly disappeared,
|
Oh I'm begging Lord to save me 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, as my mother sleeps.
|
|
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.
|
|
But when it stopped humming,
|
My brain turned on, stared running.
|
Still in pain, but it started numbing,
|
the stone cold comeback I made was stunning.
|
I still tried to do a few shows cuz 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,
|
6 weeks later, jogging and running.
|
I used the first air 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 learnt and done a bit of plumbing.
|
They say tomorrow never dies,
|
But he 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.
|
|
I just want you to take a second, hear me out.
|
Don't think I'm happy cuz I smile when you see me out.
|
I've had serious madnesses where I've nearly disappeared.
|
Oh I'm begging Lord to save me and let me go,
|
To see my family.
|
And keep it inside,
|
Dry eyes, while my brother weeps.
|
Save my soul.
