[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)
