Turn Back - Maverick Sabre, 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.

Born May 1985

10 months later my little bro arrived

Raised in a place where its do to survive

My mommy shot 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 b 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 Ive 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 turn back the hands of time.

Mommy couldn’t cope so she turned to drugs

But auntie Tina give us hope she was there for us

I was raised on the roads wheres its rare to trust

Now my hearts been broke now im scared to love

An I might seem closed until I open up

Feel the weight of the struggle Ive 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 young un Ive been stuck in the slums

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

There trying to take aid they want my brother in cuffs

And I just came home this ay nothing to ask

Like the court don’t know how a suffer does

Dis is poor home grown but moms love was enough

So I want to give her more than shes 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 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 seek 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 im 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 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
