Lyrics

[Intro] 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 [Chorus] 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 doin' things I can't say (Got me doin' things) [Verse 1: Jords] 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 stoppin' That's why I stay schemin', why I stay plottin' We don't wanna do it, but we need the profit Ah, step back 'cause I need some time Countin' 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, ah [Chorus] 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 doin' things I can't say (Got me doin' things) [Verse 2: Wretch 32] I was afraid of prayer I was prayin' 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 layin' 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 havin' 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-dealin' flat with guns, weed and raps Only thing I ever wanted back was mumzy relaxed Now I'm chillin' Home sweet home, come see the plaques Sold a million But the more I get, the more I'm givin' back Times of need, I sold work to stay shinin' I guess I am the dirt in the diamond Timin' [Bridge] I pray I could dream while wide awake (Wide awake) Can't change all the things that I can't face (I can't change) And I pray I could wash my sins away And off the Henny, I'm waved, you got me doin' things I can't say, oh [Chorus] 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 doin' things I can't say (Got me doin' things)
