[?] strait-laced girls [?] Women got hitched to chain-smoking guys 'say what?' I got a bit of both sides [?] surprised they were Like you're look into my different coloured eyes [?] I got blue from brown [?] songs, [?] to trumpets The game from a thirty-three in the third, maybe they got me My memory is a cluster a' notes Forming a familiar melody I swear that I know [Verse 2: Sampa The Great] Stress in the mornin', stress in the evenin' Stress is what I'm feelin', it's no wonder I ain't breathin' Music is my life from before I could breath Cause my daddy sang my mommy some [?] [?] [?] was the birth of [?] [?] when I was in the womb And I promised [?] with the songs that I'm [?] I wonder if they thought that I could change the world If I could change the world well I would change myself First-borns seem to always know better The past is in the future so I get to know better Get to breath better, get to dream better You paid for my college so I get to eat better [?] daddy [?] so we could be happy [?] like my African [?] I bet you're gonna need an African Minute [?] to the ancestors Cause they answer prayers, cause they answer [Pre-Hook: Okenyo] There's just nothin' I'm runnin' from Tell you where I'm comin' from I know where I've been I've been with you, you've been with me, oh baby [Hook: Okenyo & Urthboy] The past beats inside of me You may not even know [?] somethin' you feel [?] somethin' so real It's like there's a second heartbeat A light to lead me home [?] somethin' you feel [?] somethin' so real [Verse 3: Okenyo] Subconscious is monstrous, underneath like the Loch Ness Never seen but ever present like my blackness [?] Makin' waves, I could [?] a song [?] ancestors Underneath the layers Tryna see what they are [?] Looks like I found a treasure worth displayin' I take it down from the shelf Shine it up like a diamond, see what it's worth [Bridge: Okenyo] And I know some things they are forever Know some things they hold together I won't walk this road alone I won't walk this road alone And I know some things they are forever Know some things they hold together I won't walk this road alone I won't walk this road alone [Pre-Hook: Okenyo] There's just nothin' I'm runnin' from Tell you where I'm comin' from I know where I've been I've been with you, you've been with me [Hook: Okenyo & Urthboy] The past beats inside of me You may not even know [?] somethin' you feel [?] somethin' so real It's like there's a second heartbeat A light to lead me home [?] somethin' you feel [?] somethin' so real [Post-Hook/Outro: Okenyo] There's just nothin' I'm runnin' from Tell you where I'm comin' from I know where I've been I've been with you, you've been with me There's just nothin' I'm runnin' from Tell you where I'm comin' from I know where I've been I've been with you, you've been with me
