skittles in my mouth (remix) ft. James Shannon Lyrics

Kicked outta home by seventeen

All the kids around me seemed to have everything

Meanwhile, I was running round with a pair of sketchers

They were laughin' at the worth of my possessions

The cost of an iPhone couldn't measure

To what I paid in emotional endeavours

I always had high hopes for me

But what they expect? Low delivery

Prolly thought I'd be working for DPD

Now I'm making mad cash, that's a C.R.E.A.M ery

Doctor Active working towards a PhD

Proved wrong the man who told me I couldn't be

What and I wanted, he told me I could not achieve

My dreams or the passions that I see

My dreams and my goals now look at me

How you do it? It's the O2 I breathe

I been high

I been low

But I

Don't let hatred

Fill my soul

I've said goodbye

I've said farewell

But I

Know deep down

We'll meet again

I been high

I been low

But I

Don't let hatred

Fill my soul

I've said goodbye

I've said farewell

But I

Know deep down

We'll meet again

I been feeling like a bird

I been feeling like a bird in a cage

I been ready to fly

But I'm bein' pulled down by these weights

I been feeling like a bird

I been feeling like a bird in a cage

I been ready to fly

But I'm bein' pulled down by these weights

Now I was going 16 with a head full of dreams

Never the felt the same as the kids surrounding me

Rocking second hands they were joking mad cheap

Watching all 'em peak with my future looking sweet

Runners ripping at the seams running wild for better days

Heart upon my sleeve but my sweetness never payed

Never overseas but refused to stay in place

I had knowledge they don't teach and wisdom way beyond my age

What they say?

And back then we were starving

Never had a pot for piss but plenty pain to bark with

Little loud mouth, talkin wisdom hope and jargon

On deaf ears but fuck 'em on this path of gold I'm carvin

I'm staying Active with my practice

Used to hang my head but now I take this to the Max kid

The fact is, I've come up from some shit you can't imagine

So when I'm on the mic I blow my past and pain a fat kiss

Like that's it

I been high

I been low

But I

Don't let hatred

Fill my soul

I've said goodbye

I've said farewell

But I

Know deep down

We'll meet again

I been high

I been low

But I

Don't let hatred

Fill my soul

I've said goodbye

I've said farewell

But I

Know deep down

We'll meet again
