God Bless Mary |
| All I could think about in my maths class was |
| Rhyming and figuring out my timing |
| Couldn’t get me to shut up if you didn’t hear me, I’m miming |
| Teachers didn’t understand the unique world that I’m in |
| While you was finding the answers, it’s instrumentals I’m finding |
| I know, I should’ve paid attention more |
| Still got to where I am, I wouldn’t change my life for yours |
| Soon as I got my first paycheck man I wanted some more |
| And then I got my second fuck it, it’s music galore |
| I invested in equipment, fuck it, I’m takin' it all |
| Do this shit myself, but now there’s Mary next door |
| I know for a fact this just might be a problem |
| Cause when I turn those speakers up there ain’t no one to stop me |
| So in love with the sound, it probably messed with my hearing |
| When I recorded this like I needed Mary to hear it |
| Come to think of it, she’s heard everything before the world has |
| Heard the EPs way before the world has |
| Heard me singing live way before the world has |
| Heard my mistakes and frustration way before the world has |
| I know I should turn it down, couldn’t resist |
| Saw her smoking fags out the window, I knew she was pissed |
| Shit, I didn’t consider that she prolly couldn’t sleep |
| I know that it’s selfish, at the time I couldn’t see |
| Nothing’s really changed though, man, I’ve been real |
| But I never said sorry and this is my apology |
| God bless Mary (sorry) |
| I know it don’t do shit for you if I go global |
| But through these walls, I know you hear my vocal |
| And I know you don’t need nothing from me |
| No you don’t need nothing from me |
| No you don’t need nothing from me, from me |
| You could’ve called the council on me so many times |
| Could’ve called the police so many times |
| Know you was pissed, man, I saw so many signs |
| Wanted to speak to you but thought 'never mind' |
| You smiling at me like it’s alright |
| But I should’ve known that it’s not alright |
| I’ma turn it down to consider your night |
| But let me turn it up for me one more time |
| One more time, please can you bear with me |
| I’m just tryna make music to change my life |
| No, you don’t owe me anything cos I |
| Know you put up with everything onsite |
| Prolly hear this playing from your bedroom on repeat |
| Wrote a song about my neighbour as you will conceive |
| Though nothing’s really changed, though man I’ll be real |
| But I never said sorry and this is my apology |
| So god bless Mary! |
| Yo, now this shit started from my bedroom many moons ago |
| God how am I gonna make this work? |
| I bet you will know |
| Need your love and guidance to take me to where I wanna go |
| Wish upon a star, same star that followed me home |
| Learning to be more patient than ever, know my time will come |
| Will have more time on my hands when the record’s done |
| Put in so much work, I hardly got to see my mum |
| Hardly got to see my nephew and live and be 21 |
| Still I know I’ll make it, some day |
| Know that I’m not perfect but I swear that it’ll be worth it |
| Mary know that I’ma make it, one day |
| You just gotta trust me but know I’m not in a hurry |
| Promise I will make it big, some day |
| I’ll make it big, some day |
| I don’t know your full story or what you’ve been through |
| I just wanna say thank you and god bless you |
| God bless Mary |
