I wanna sing, I wanna shout,
I wanna scream till the words dry out.
So put it in all of the papers, I’m not afraid,
They can read all about it, read all about it, ohhhh.
[Verse 1 - Professor Green]
Nothing to hide
And then smothered
Suffered and cried
Jack made me tougher
To trouble I rise
Above all
Expectations forget rep
Ain’t never
When I wanted to get
Hustle
To be I am
Say I had to cash in all my dad’s debt
I wanted to
Instead I said nothing at all
After all
You were never kin to me
Family is something that you never been to me
In fact
Making it harder for me to see my father
Was the only thing that you ever did for me
I wanna sing, I wanna shout,
I wanna scream till the words dry out.
So put it in all of the papers, I’m not afraid,
They can read all about it, read all about it, ohhhh.
As a kid I looked up to you,
Only thing was I never saw enough of you.
Last thing I said to you was I hated you,
I loved you but now it’s too late to say to you.
Just didnt know what to do and how to deal with it,
Even now deep down I still live it.
I think, I used to blame me,
I wonder what I did to you to make you hate me.
I wasn’t even 5, lifes a journey and mine wasnt an easy ride,
You never even got to see me rap,
I just wish you woulda reached out,
I wish you woulda been round when I been down.
I wish that you could see me now,
Wherever you are I really hope you find peace.
I know that if I ever have kids,
Unlike you i’ll never let them be without me.
I wanna sing, I wanna shout,
I wanna scream till the words dry out.
So put it in all of the papers, I’m not afraid,
They can read all about it, read all about it, ohhhh.

(Dear Dad)
As a kid
I looked up to you
Only thing was
I never saw enough of you
The last thing I said to you was I hated you
I loved you
And now it’s too late to say to you
Just didn’t know what to do
And how to deal with it
Even now
Deep down I still live it
To think
I used to blame me
I wonder what I did to you to make you hate me
I wasn’t even 5
Life’s a journey
And mine wasn’t an easy ride
You never even got to see me rap
I just wish you woulda reached out
I wish you woulda been round
When I been down
I know that you could see me now
Wherever you are
I really hope you found peace
But know that if I ever have kids
Unlike you
I’ll never let them be without me
I wanna sing, I wanna shout,
I wanna scream till the words dry out.
So put it in all of the papers, I’m not afraid,
They can read all about it, read all about it.
