Turn Back (K Koke)

I’ve been living this daily With no peace No day dreams to save me Get high cause I want to survive Wish I could turn back the hands of time I’ve been living this daily With no peace No day dreams to save me Get high cause I want to survive Wish I could turn back the hands of time Born May, 1985 Ten months later my little bro arrived Raised in a place where is due to survive My Mummy shot food to put honey in our hive I could see the hunger in her eyes I could see that suttem 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 could smile but it still won’t take the pain away I could try But remain in this lonely place From a child I been raised in this soldier way Mummy didn’t ramp she called us the Kray’s No joke she showed us the ways I’ve been living this daily With no peace No day dreams to save me Get high cause I want to survive Wish I could turn back the hands of time I’ve been living this daily With no peace No day dreams to save me Get high cause I want to survive Wish I could turn back the hands of time Mummy couldn’t cope so she turned to drugs My auntie Tina gave us hope She was there for us I was raised on the roads where its rare to trust And my hearts been broke now I’m scared to love And I might seem closed till 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 till my heart feels numb Cause I came from the bottom of this bottle of rum Ain’t changed from a youngen I been stuck in the slums Grey days up in London Ain’t no summer for us They tryin to take A They want my brother in cuffs And I just came home This ain’t nothing to us Like the court don’t know how our sufferer does This poor home grown But mums love was enough So I want to give her more then she has given to us I’ve been living this daily With no peace No day dreams to save me Get high cause I want to survive Wish I could turn back the hands of time I’ve been living this daily With no peace No day dreams to save me Get high cause I want to survive Wish I could turn back the hands of time 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 want to see this Be somebody Need to get on up, need to get on up now I’ve been living this daily With no peace No day dreams to save me Get high cause I want to survive Wish I could turn back the hands of time I’ve been living this daily With no peace No day dreams to save me Get high cause I want to survive Wish I could turn back the hands of time
