lirik lagu mind over matter - the essence
[intro: willow]
yeah
we wrote this track about four people who’ve touched us, our lives
this track’s goin’ out to you, stay up
[ad~libs: willow]
yeah, yeah
[verse 1: willow]
life was f~cked, she was too young to stop the abuse
livin’ in h~ll, not’in’ pretty happened under that roof
then flash~forward ten years, her life’s still not peaches
kicked from school after school, just for fightin’ with teachers
then she falls pregnant and daddy goes to prison
a single teenage mum, try not to carry on tradition
she’d survive for her daughter ‘til her final breath
with the heart of a lion, she’s a young lioness
[verse 2: smizzy]
yeah, he never had much luck with girls
but he was too polite to every say to you or i, “f~ck the world”
always there to help out, he would let his friends borrow a dollar
if they promised that they would pay ‘im back tomorrow
only a few months left until he’d knuckle down with hate
just see, and like most, he couldn’t wait to free a vacancy
he’d say goodbye to his friends as they hopped on that packed train
and no one saw it comin’ that he meant it in that way
[chorus: smizzy & willow]
in this hard~knock life
it’s hard not to wonder why
but grey skies pass
inspired by those around me to make my mark
i’m gonna look at the sky
and it’s hard not to wonder why
but we holdin’ the essence
you can’t change the past to take control o’ the present
[ad~libs: smizzy]
yeah, yeah, yeah
[verse 3: smizzy]
and she was tryna find her feet in the quicksand of popularity
combined with the problems in ‘er family
as she grew, she came sadder, ‘er clothes became blacker
but she always wore a smile outside of home, it ain’t add up
‘cause she’d scr~pe a razor blade across her thighs to take away the pain
daily, playin’ noughts and crosses, nearer to that major vein
and when invited to the beach, she’d say she’s stayin’ home today
friends just thought it was because she was a little overweight
[verse 4: willow]
ay, yo, this man put his heart into buildin’ the scene
a bunch o’ outcast writers with similar dreams
from hittin’ them trees and freestylin’, openin’ phat stuff
the underdog response, puttin’ clothes on your back, bruv
it’s defence verse aggression, so f~ck what you think
‘cause brissy’s champ put his city lights up under his wing
and now he’s watchin’ over earth from where the angels are free
so rest in peace to [?] mc
[chorus: smizzy & willow]
in this hard~knock life
it’s hard not to wonder why
but grey skies pass
inspired by those around me to make my mark
i’m gonna look at the sky
and it’s hard not to wonder why
but we holdin’ the essence
you can’t change the past to take control o’ the present
[outro]
“when i die”
“when i die”
“bury me”
“bury me and my new book”
