[Verse 1]
I couldn't just go and hug her
Keeping at a distance can I really show I love her
Staying with my brothers and my family clique
And it's always on my conscious if my family sick
And I was always working cause my salary is
The only way to get the food, imagine it is
And when I try to chill I'm never grabbing a spliff
Cause if my momma knew then she be having a fit
Even my friends are staying distant
They're in a prison and had bars for days
Feeling like I'm grounded and I'm half my age
Sharing all my thoughts it's like I part with change
Earn I try to keep because I've been turning in my sleep
And everyone I know is tryna burn another week
If another days a burden then I'm knowing that its peak
Therе's nothing really certain for us peeps
[Hook: Mistry]
All I want is some pеace of mind, yeah
When it's over come reach my side, yeah
The summer's colder but feeling right
Will all be over just need some time
Rolling over till I'm awake
I feel the day just fade away
Feeling down when the skys were grey
Now I realise we'll be ok, yeah
We'll be ok
We'll be ok, yeah
We'll be ok, yeah
[verse 2]
When I'm on the phone I just know that I'm speaking sense
More than money on my mind when I was speaking with a friend
Gone are the evenings where I meet him at his ends
But I was busy working so I'm keeping on my tens
Keeping on my toes when all my people wanna ghost
Cause there's more to life than paper when the secrets start to fold
Keeping on my own because I didn't wanna spread
Anything else, that would be getting to my head
And when I'm getting to my bed I just know that I'm well rested
I'm in a climate where I'm feeling well tested
Only gonna drive when I was going to my work
Clean soul because I wouldn't do the dirt
The world it does its worst but I was staying calm
I was staying happy if my family do no harm
But I was staying silent when a lot was in my mind
Knowing I had time but its feeling like its flying
[Hook: Mistry]
All I want is some peace of mind, yeah
When it's over come reach my side, yeah
The summer's colder but feeling right
Will all be over just need some time
Rolling over till I'm awake
I feel the day just fade away
Feeling down when the skys were grey
Now I realise we'll be ok, yeah
We'll be ok
We'll be ok, yeah
We'll be ok, yeah
