(I was a very good student; I was good at literature)

(Yeah)

(I had a good way of expressing myself in whatever)

(You can tell)

(Ah, not really)

I pray I could dream while wide awake

I cannot face all the things that I can't say

I pray I could wash my sins away

Off the Henny, I'm waved, got me doing things I can't say

Summer breeze, do you see the blossom?

I meditate, then go and do the evil option

I know the problem and I see the problem

But if there ain't a problem, then I'll be the problem

I see paradise, I don't see it often

I see war in the streets, I don't see it stopping

That's why I stay scheming, why I stay plotting

We don't wanna do it, but we need the profit

Ah, step back 'cause I need some time

Counting all this money don't bring peace of mind

When I'm in my feelings, then I spend it more

When I'm on my business, then I get it more

I head to the mountains, then I realign

But now I lay awake and think about the things that I hide

Now I lay awake and hope all of my brothers survive

Now I awake tryna drop my ego and pride

I daydream every night

I pray I could dream while wide awake

I cannot face all the things that I can't say

I pray I could wash my sins away

Off the Henny, I'm waved, got me doing things I can't say

I was afraid of prayer

I was praying for my granny, but she didn't wake up

Used to pray that my mum and dad would kiss and make up

Then I prayed for my brother in the incubator

And when we bought him home, I knew that God was on the throne

It's funny how in our time of need we pray the most

Especially when we're laying low

If our burden is determined by the weight we've got in gold

Then we'll never ever really have enough to make 'em go

You feel bad having no shoes, till you see a man with no feet

The sun don't only shine in the Maldives

I grew up in a drug-dealing flat with guns, weed and raps

Only thing I ever wanted back was mumzy relaxed

Now I'm chilling

Home sweet home, come see the plaques

Sold a million

But the more I get, the more I'm giving back

Times of need, I sold work to stay shining

I guess I am the dirt in the diamond

Timing

I pray I could dream while wide awake

Can't change all the things I cannot face

And I pray I could wash my sins away

And off the Henny, I'm waved

You've got me doing things I can't say

Ah, ah, ah

I pray I could dream while wide awake

I cannot face all the things that I can't say

I pray I could wash my sins away

Off the Henny, I'm waved, got me doing things I can't say
