I’ve been living this daily With no peace No daydreams to save me Get high ’cause I want to survive Wish I could turn back the hands of time Living this daily With no peace No daydreams to save me Get high ’cause I want to survive Wish I could turn back the hands of time
[Verse 1 - K Koke]
Born May 1985 Ten months later, my lickle bro arrived Raised in the place where it’s do to survive Our mummy shot food to put honey in our life I can see the hunger in her eyes I could see that something wasn’t right She taught me how to wrap and shot my first ticket She told me watch my back and be smart with it And I wish that I could take you there To a place that my brain takes me every day I can smile but it still won’t take the pain away I can try but remain in this lonely place From a child I’ve been raised in the soldier way Mummy didn’t wrap, she called us the craze No joke she showed us the ways
[Chorus - Maverick Sabre]
I’ve been living this daily With no peace No daydreams to save me Get high ’cause I want to survive Wish I could turn back the hands of time Living this daily With no peace No daydreams to save me Get high ’cause I want to survive Wish I could turn back the hands of time
[Verse 2 - K Koke]
Mummy couldn’t cope so she turned to drugs My aunty Tina gave us hope, she was there for us I was raised on the roads where it’s rare to trust And my heart’s been broke, now I’m scared to love And I might seem closed until I open up Feel the weight of the struggle I been holding up Been betrayed by a cuddle and a heartless hug I drink pain from a bottle ’til my heart feels numb ‘Cause I came from the bottom of this bottle of rum Ain’t changed from a young’n, I been stuck in the slums Great days up in London, ain’t no summer for us They try’na take Adie but my brother in ‘cuffs And I just came home, this ain’t nothing to us Like the court don’t know how a sufferer does This was poor home grown but mum’s love was enough So I wanna give her more than she’s given to us
[Chorus - Maverick Sabre]
I’ve been living this daily With no peace No daydreams to save me Get high ’cause I want to survive Wish I could turn back the hands of time Living this daily With no peace No daydreams to save me Get high ’cause I want to survive Wish I could turn back the hands of time
[Verse 3 - Maverick Sabre]
I don’t want to feel this I don’t want to see this I don’t want to hurt no more I don’t want to be this I don’t want to feel this I don’t ned to fight this war ‘Cause I’m try’na be somebody There’s nothing I feel that can cloud it I’m try’na be somebody Need to get on up Need to get on up now
[Chorus - Maverick Sabre]
I’ve been living this daily With no peace No daydreams to save me Get high ’cause I want to survive Wish I could turn back the hands of time Living this daily With no peace No daydreams to save me Get high ’cause I want to survive Wish I could turn back the hands of time
