Skepta - Babe lyrics

[Verse 1] Sitting at home, watching tv weren't paying the bills Played a lot of ...? every Saturday and Wednesday hoping that I win some mills All I had was a black phone, pool table and a few musical sk**s Trynna make money in a place where everybody's looking for deals I was a little man with a mouth full of stones watching the olders play Jenga I only had Dubs and everybody else had Scream and Benger Responsibility of the oldest child trynna feed each family member So sitting at home making love to my princess weren't on my agenda ...? but I told her I'm out there trynna find some cells I stoped showing her love so she got on the first train to London and went off the rails Started to party all the time in the West End eediot girls It was only a matter of time before she had s** with somebody else I got money in the bank now but when I came back it weren't the same Telling me stories I don't wanna hear bout crazy nights and c**aine You would've thought that she was getting money for everytime she said a ex-boyfriend's name But I guess that's the price I payed for a little piece and a big chain [Hook] Babe, I'm here again I tell you I'm here again Where have you been? Babe, I'm back again I tell you I'm back again Where have you been? [Verse 2] I picked myself up now I got self made tatoo on my skin I'm the kind of man that won't play the game if I ain't gonna win Sometimes I feel like I threw the perfect relationship in the bin But I'm a big man with facial hair and a beard so I take it on the chin If I could turn back time and make it all right, God knows I would Cause no matter how much I do now, I feel like I'm not doing as much as I should It's like the meaning of life for a women is to make a badboy turn good That's why there's so many old school G's under the thumb and single mums in the hood I've seen karma part 1 & 2 now I'm just waiting for the sequel Crazy nightmares are one of my old cats trying to stab me with a needle My dad phoned me last night and told me that money's the root of all evil I told him in this day and age money's the only thing that's motivating people It's funny how I woke up early in the morning trynna chase the queen But slept on the perfect girl chasing a dream I don't know why I keep lying to myself this slay will never be clean I wanna talk to her about it but for now I just settle with a answer machine [Hook]
