Closest Thing To Heaven |
| Dear margy, I hope that we never have to part ways |
| Three kids and I’m giving you the most heartache |
| So when I talk to my little bro |
| I say to him «chill», how much more can mum’s heart take? |
| I recall Thorpe Park, |
| Trips we took |
| Now I wish I never skipped the books |
| I wanted a fast wage |
| Even so, my last car chase |
| But there ain’t nothing like a mother’s love |
| I even swore, I was done with drugs |
| And then you found out, I was still shotting class A |
| Bunking school and telling it was half day |
| I know I deserved every beating I got |
| Same mistakes, I was repeating a lot |
| At night, I could even hear when you was speaking to God |
| I come home to smell weed on my top |
| How can a son of a teacher be an underachiever |
| But changes in a process? |
| You are, you are the closest thing to heaven (Mum, I love you) |
| You are, you are (I swear down from the bottom of my heart) |
| You are, you are the closest thing to heaven |
| (You're the reason I’m still on road) |
| You are, you are (I'm still here) |
| I did time and you never missed a visit |
| You came to see me, even in the blizzard |
| Even when I was up north, I told you not to bother (It's too far) |
| But it’s like say, you could read a son’s thoughts |
| Because deep down I missed you |
| But I was flexing like it weren’t an issue |
| And when I rung home |
| You could hear the pain my voice |
| I’m in the block, mum |
| I can’t wait till I come home |
| But time seems like it stopped, mum |
| I don’t even wanna think about release dates |
| Because every time I see the gates |
| I’m thinking of a sweet escape |
| Even though I’ve done the crime |
| Knowing the risk, I still wish I beat the case |
| It was supposed to be a piece of cake |
| Pissed I can’t see your face |
| I’m back home |
| But how long can I keep it straight? |
| I’m trying to keep clean |
| Because I know you wanna keep me safe |
| You are, you are the closest thing to heaven |
| You are, you are |
| (I swear down from the bottom of my heart, mum) |
| You are, you are the closest thing to heaven (Look) |
| You are, you are (Whole family, gonna make you proud) |
| I’m your eldest son |
| So I gotta my example now |
| I used to play the man when my father’s out |
| Making booby traps to guard the house |
| Now I’m older, I’m trying to build a large account |
| Could you worked enough? |
| Strong black woman wouldn’t tremble if the Earth erupts |
| Get back and turn the furnace up |
| You deserve a break |
| I’ma tell my little sister, serve a plate |
| She can cook, she won’t burn it up |
| Look, I just wanna make you proud |
| How does entertainment sound? |
| I can tell nanny, felt happy when I changed around |
| You’re a queen, I won’t let anybody take your crown |
| Some could only wish on my mother like mine |
| One in a million, there ain’t another like mine |
| I can only say I’m sorry for the pain I’ve inflicted |
| When I set pace, am I meant to resist it? |
| Now, you can check base on my face, you can witness |
| You are, you are the closest thing to heaven |
| You are, you are |
| (I swear down from the bottom of my heart) |
| (I know my singing’s not enough) |
| You are, you are the closest thing to heaven |
| (The spotlight’s on me now, mum) |
| You are, you are (I'mma make the whole family proud) |
| (Yeah) |
| You’re the closest thing to heaven in my world |
| Never take this heaven from my arms |
| Don’t take your love from me or you’ll take everything |
| You’re the closest thing to heaven that I’ve ever seen |
| (I'm just dancing now, man) |
| (I feel like I’m gonna cry) |
| You are, you are the closest thing to heaven |
| (22 years and counting) |
| You are, you are (Aye, Merlin, magic) |
