[Intro: Collard, Shola Ama] I hope you don't see, the day they clipped my wings I hope you don't see, the day they clipped my wings I hope you don't see, the day they clipped my wings I hope you don't see, the day they clipped my wings I hope you don't
[Verse 1: Kojey Radical] A King in my past life, I stand in my own body Born again, bar God, I prove myself to nobody Cold coffins, teardrops, spilt milk Cashmere My attire, no wrinkles found in my silk I feel suspect (I feel suspect) Wonder what my people might do to photo demons If I spoke a word of my story would they believe it? Paragraphs at them with these poems, hope they conceive it Rather they admire my tone and flawless features (Eh, wait) Born 'n raised in Hackney Never seen the ocean Never learned the language Never saw my talent till they showed me (what else?) Didn't know my worth until they owned me Walked the same streets as the ones who claimed I was different Wore the same shoes, the uniform was kickers Heard the same taunts as the cow that called us niggers Heard the same excuses when feathers squeezing them triggers But even for it all they still look at me like the winner
[Bridge: Kojey Radical] I Save the penny for the preacher I Taught my lessons to my teacher I know, you're tired I been tired too (Ah)
[Chorus: Collard, Shola Ama] I hope you don't see, the day they clipped my wings I hope you don't see, the day they clipped my wings Its been on and on, and tiresome And I can't feel my limbs I hope you don't see, the day they clipped my wings
[Verse 2: Collard, Kojey Radical] (Oooh) I seen a woman (I seen it), fall in the limelight (fall in) I've seen a kingdom (I saw it), drown in the dry ice (drown in) I hope you don't see, demons make me bleed (Demons make me bleed) Pray all my beliefs, fester in my dreams
[Brigde: Kojey Radical, Collard] Devil can't win and they all know it (The devil can't win and they all know it) The devil can't win and they all know it (The devil can't win and they all know it) There's a reason for your fear The devil can't win and they all know it I know that you been dying The devil can't win and they all know it I'm sleeping with your fears (I hope you don't)
[Verse 3: Shola Ama, Kojey Radical] I hope you don't see Everything you said was written in brow Every promise that you made had cinnamon smell Caramel scented, sweet like taboo Shola Ama on a Sunday play Beanie mental Had the living room spotless Had the kitchen on comfort Your Mumma taught you well, your Daddy didn't deserve her They both made you perfect You made me question if God could be a woman
[Verse 4: Shola Ama] I'll take you in if you fall from the sky Take off your shoes, help you walk through the fire If love is lust, don't you know we can find it within? But if your run expired Icarus, cigarettes my life Look at this, imitate my crimes I'm not innocent, but innocence i tried Not innocent, but innocence i tried
[Chorus: Collard, Shola Ama] I hope you don't see, the day they clipped my wings I hope you don't see, the day they clipped my wings Its been on and on, and tiresome And I can't feel my limbs I hope you don't see, the day they clipped my wingsTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
