Turn Back (Tribute to K Koke & Maverick Sabre)

Turn Back - Tribute to K Koke and Maverick Sabre - Heart Music

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 draw back the hands of time

Living this daily

With no peace no day dreams to save me

Get high cause I want to survive

Wish I could draw back the hands of time

Born me 1985

10 months later my little bro arrived

Raised in a place where it's do to survive

My mommy shopped food to put honey in our hive

I can see the hunger in her eyes

I can see that something wasn't right

She taught me how to rapish up 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 everyday

I can smile but it still won't take the pain away

I could try but remain in this lonely place

From a child I've been raised in a soldier way

Mommy didn't ramp she called us the krays

No jokes 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 draw back the hands of time

Living this daily

With no peace no day dreams to save me

Get high cause I want to survive

Wish I could draw back the hands of time

Mommy couldn't cope so she turned to ***

Auntie 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've 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 youngun' I've been stuck in the slums

Grey days up in London ain't no summer for us

They're trying to take aid they want my brother in cuffs

And I just came home this ain't nothing to ask

Like the court don't know how a sufferer does

This is poor home grown but mom's love was enough

So I want to give her more than she's giving 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 draw back the hands of time

Living this daily

With no peace no day dreams to save me

Get high cause I want to survive

Wish I could draw 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 feed this

I don't need to fight this war

Cause I'm trying to be somebody

There's nothing I fear that can cloud it

I'm trying to 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 draw back the hands of time

Living this daily

With no peace no day dreams to save me

Get high cause I want to survive

Wish I could draw back the hands of time
