[ Featuring Saint Jude ]
What's it gonna take
Just to cheer me up?
Put a smile on my face
It happens every month
I thought bout giving up - now wait now wait
Think bout your Mum
Big money bag about to come
I know that the kids count on us
Coloniser tryna do rounds on us
Power of the brown , don't frown don't front
Think I'm a little bit tired of London
This real life no clowns no stunts
I'm proud as f*ck
Just down on luck for the time being
And my demons keep knocking on my door
But what for?
Really put yourself out there now
People really wanna count shares now
Blonde natural brown hair now
Industry is like a town fair
Whole lotta business
People setting up shop tryna see a quick quid
Whole lotta witness
Can he overcome it?
Can he climb the ladder quick
Or is he gonna plummet?
Who knows
Roll the dice
This could be the decision of your life
Play your cards right
The bible said don't gamble
But survival is a battle
Shit is such a shambles
Like I don't know no better
Like I don't know no better (I don't know)
(wayo wayo wayo wayo)
What's it gonna take?
Just to cheer me up
Put a smile on my face
It happens every month
I thought bout giving up
But I'm not giving up
What's it gonna take
Ride the wrong way
Through the red lights
Through the acid rain
Every nights the same
There's no more time to change
Every fight's a chain
You can't untie again yeah
In the heat of my city it's repressed
It's the law that you don't speak when you're stressed
It courses in
The streets of the Thames
Underwater in the heat of the press
Which one of the streets in my city is the next?
Which one of my people is a victim of the mess
Yeah You can feel it in your chest
Read the text, roll the dice and take the test
Roll the dice
This could be the decision of your life
Play your cards right
The bible said don't gamble
But survival is a battle
Shit is such a shambles
Like I don't know no better
Like I don't know no better (I don't know)
(wayo wayo wayo wayo)
What's it gonna take?
Just to cheer me up
Put a smile on my face
It happens every month
I thought bout giving up
But I'm not giving up
Really though that we was on the same pAge
(What's it gonna take , what's it gonna take)
Really though tha
T we was on the same pAge
(What's it gonna take , what's it gonna take)
What's it gonna take
Just to cheer me up
Put a smile on my face
It happens every month
I thought bout giving up
But I'm not giving up
I thought bout giving up
I thought bout giving up
