[Hook 1]
When the lights shut off
It's my turn to settle down
Main concern
Promise that you will sing about me
Promise that you will sing about me
When the lights shut off
It's my turn to settle down
My main concern
Promise that you will sing about me
Will sing about me
[Verse 1: Cameron Uzoka]
Red rivers and scarlet and green memos
Play background and scene cellos
Allow this scene settle
Police violently riddle
A murder erects
And the lessons clocked with time I would never forget
And another sundial running wild inside of delay
And I pray for the child aka me, I was forcefully raped
The devil held me for ransom, a lightie that's more than handsome
Met up with a guy called reaper, and saw him kissing a preacher
To stay cross,and now he's selling those o's
Its no longer his shoes it's the roads that's holding his soul
Babysit education, be fearful of the temptation
Cause' not every males a man and not every females a woman
Have patience and check the change does that make sense
Blow incense for the girls who would take sense
Tried calling his phone but his line was dead like a fake prince
Even forums were bored and my patience was never patient
Waiting with no reply, took all my mummys money I headed to peckham rye
A sigh on a jokers face is when happiness truly dies
I knocked on his door, was appalled about what they told me
It would have affected the old me
Oh my, my brother arrested in Newcastle for coke, now hes rotting in prison
I warned him to stop trapping but why don't he listen
I was told by his sister whose single no wonder im missing
Here's pain take it and christen
So good riddance, to all the nights, the blood and the heavyweight
No manner of calories can be burned to avoid the hate
Of police waves, screaming bullets at your face with discreet praise
Go and smoke that cheap haze
I usher in the fire and let it burn
And this is my confession to anyone that's concern
With determination graft, you're a slave to a slave
Will you wave to my wave or will you jump on it
Man I'd die to make a k**ing, die to make a k**ing
Promise that you will sing about me
Will sing about me
[Hook 2]
When the lights shut off
It's my turn to settle down
Main concern
Promise that you will sing about me
Promise that you will sing about me
When the lights shut off
[Verse 2: Cameron Uzoka]
Keep your friends nigh but all your enemies close
But what if your friends a foe, and the kindness is all for show
And you give away your love there's no guarantee they'll return it
Respect is a wage and your broke if you never earn it
So stay strong Mr Poverty oh you want a score
Our life is on retail you never know whats in store
But before, my decor was an image of pennies laying on my floor
Baby are you even sure, hear the Lord
Do you really know what it is to be poor?
So my brother and I headed to Brixton in search of a light
But is it possible to see in the midst of the blind
My brothers who were clocking girls who would wine down low
And if yo're swimming in liquor, they would shine down slow
Beautiful ladies addicted to the limelight
All mouth like a woman's hindsight
Rolled with older guys who showered in whips
And really drove any gyal that desired a whip
And the c**aine they oversaw I desired to flip
They even sent girls to shot and left clients on drips
Me and Vovo were, East Londoners, chilling with thunderous brothers, aged 25 and above who obtained sterlings and dollars
I looked above, should I hit church on a Friday Or hit a pub
Oh Lord where is the love
But to be honest I thought it was cool
Money talks but in my house silence is the rule
Only 5 pound on me when I left to rap
At the show do you blame me if I trapped
Prayed hard for a breakthrough, the devil came through, I had the drive but what do you do when the lanes used
Approve my destiny and my future to sparkle forever mores
Die on your feet or live on all fours…..
Tried to a create a rapport with the floor, you saw money then dashed
And now you see I'm back on a track you want holler back
Keep your hellos and your sorries, I never needed your money
I've slept with the blood of Jesus
I sicken all you believers
Even p has more p than you, isn't that true
Your lies gradually wither, snakes never walk they just slither
Eat the sand and drown in a river
You're not a male your a pain to deliver, I'm not feeling you at all
[Hook 1]
