| I just wanna explain cause' I know that nobody’s told him
|
| It’s alright saying you’re my father but you know family’s not chosen
|
| And we never got past our problems
|
| Like the Playstation is not loaded
|
| And how can I call this home
|
| Its more like a BNB with no rooms in
|
| Telling man close but I’m not not over the smoke
|
| I could walk into a room and choke
|
| Takes me back when there was no hope
|
| We would sit with the curtains closed
|
| So the bailiffs wouldn’t think anyone’s home
|
| Some times the electric would go
|
| Its like it was brighter out on the roads
|
| I just wanna explain because that hes never been told
|
| To be someones dad isn’t the type of job you can finish early and go home
|
| I was gonna write this down and send it to you in the post
|
| But I needed the music I want you to feel this one in your soul
|
| See when your raised by someone you gotta take on their problems
|
| Just because you call somebody your son does not mean you can rob them
|
| And I don’t even wanna go there but who the fuck beats up children
|
| Anyway that’s not helping
|
| What’s done is done we kept moving
|
| In a totally different direction
|
| You brought her up to be daddy’s girl
|
| But now daddy blames the recession
|
| And that’s why hes out shoplifting
|
| And that’s my little sister
|
| I can’t stand the fact that we are drifting
|
| We’re completely different
|
| Even though we share the same upbringing
|
| Back when the vibe was good and
|
| Whitney Houston was singing, «Your love is my love»
|
| I couldn’t picture anything changing
|
| Where did it all go wrong
|
| There’s so much more to life, I don’t rate it
|
| Could’ve been family and that’s what so frustrating
|
| Kissing the smell of a cigarette (of a cigarette, a cigarette, cigarette)
|
| I ain’t got time to rest my head (to rest my head, rest my head, rest my head)
|
| Cause' I been living on the street life (street life, street life, street life,
|
| mmm)
|
| I ain’t got time to move my energy (my energy, my energy)
|
| Its sticks to me like some synergy (synergy, my synergy, synergy)
|
| Cause been living on the street life (street life, street life, street life,
|
| street life, mmm)
|
| Yeah-ah-ah
|
| Yeah-ah-ah
|
| Ooh-ooh-ooooh
|
| Hey-hey
|
| I’ve been living on that street life (mmm)
|
| Oh yeah |
