[Stormzy] See, I love my hood, but the hood shit bugs me Cuh´ man ah put the chrome to my mum Then they see me and spud me And plus I got childhood friends that are schemin´ to rush me
So if I just pack my bags and I leave this fuckery Look, nobody judge me Now I´m just picturing charms all dressed in white On the steps with Christ Tryna tell my young Gs to relax and invest in life They invest in knives Man, I was in my history class when my bredren died So vexed that I cried But I come from a place where the mandem can´t let shit slide So we rest in pride And it kills us slow, but, bro, I don´t need all that ´Cuh the place where I live is the place I will die
But I already preed all that Can´t chat about pain, just look at my veins Look brudda, I bleed all that Damn, I just want all my people back, yo
[Raleigh Ritchie] In case you think I´ve changed and I´m different I´m not keeping you at a distance So have a thought for me, yeah Hold down this floor for me, yeah Remember the time before things changed? Back in the day Everything can stay the same Remember I came? Remember my name? Remember my face? I don´t wanna fade away
[Raleigh Ritchie] Don´t cry for me, don´t cry for me, oh no, no, no
Don´t cry for me, don´t cry for me Don´t cry for me
[Stormzy] Yo, heart on my sleeve, let me open up TBTs on the block all posted up Me and them boy don´t mix but I´ll post it up And it ain´t no family pic but it´s close enough And look man, I still reminisce when I´m holdin´ up I think about the past sometimes and I sober up ´Cause if that boy looks back, it´ll hold him up Man are out here beefin´ like we ain´t broke enough Swear these bruddas ain´t woken up Like what have I done to deserve this life? I got brothers in the pen that I´ll never see again
Got my brothers dem servin´ life And I know that you think that it serves ´em right But I come from a place where you burn or die Or we turn and ride So don´t blame us when we turn to the dirt, we tried I just pray we fly, yo
[Raleigh Ritchie] In case you think I´ve changed and I´m different I´m not keeping you at a distance So have a thought for me, yeah Hold down this floor for me, yeah Remember the time before things changed? Back in the day Everything can stay the same Remember I came? Remember my name?
Remember my face? I don´t wanna fade away
[ Raleigh Ritchie] Don´t cry for me Just take a shot for me Don´t cry for me, yeah, yeah, yeah Don´t cry, oh no Don´t cry for me, no
