l-fresh the lion - take me with you lyrics
[verse 1: l-fresh the lion]
i was asleep that night the call had came through
i heard my parents speak but i never really came to
it felt like a dream till i got up to hear the bad news
my grandma p-ssed away and i didn’t want to hear the truth
you had a stroke but you never let it change you
you smiled brighter, laughed louder and you stayed faithful
i know you felt much pain but you never let it break you
you never really showed it, you kept on singing your great tune
when death came to take you, we had to try and make do
i strived to recreate you but no one could replace you
i tried my best to be the glue to hold us close and see it through
count our blessings, speak the truth, i learnt it all from seeing you
for that i’m grateful, there’s so much you gave to me
that you’d smile through the hardest times is what stays with me
it hurts knowing that you had to leave
and there was nothing i could do to bring you back to me
[chorus: l-fresh the lion]
i’m tryna find a way up out of here today
i’m tryna find a way up out of here today
i wonder if you leave will you take me with you
i wonder if you leave will you take me with you
[verse 2: l-fresh the lion]
i see your face p-ss as i gaze at time
i wonder if we would have lasted if we gave it time
it all went by so fast when you said goodbye
and there was nothing i could say that would change your mind
my heart is home but i felt the pain moving in
and i felt so new to this, hoping to get through it quick
to find the affection i was craving instead of looking inside
to satisfy my hunger but there ain’t no food for this
feel like i’m losing it, feel like i’m losing grip
you’d never catch a mad man choosing this
that’s foolishness, i throw smoke like illusionists
then change pace to try and escape to where the music is
sometimes i find your scent when i catch the breeze
a rose beneath some trees brings back sweet memories
it hurts knowing that you had to leave
and there was nothing i could do to bring you back to me
[chorus: l-fresh the lion]
[verse 3: l-fresh the lion]
i feel it on my shoulders, the pain weighs a tonne
i try to sleep it off, i fear the morning sun
i often sit back and wonder when that day will come
where the world is made for all and not for some
coz we got troops out here dying and youth suicides
people running for their lives across seas and over skies
leaving family behind tryna make it out alive
where the only thing that matters is trying to survive
and minorities in prisons, beat down by the system
those in power rarely listen, navigating with no vision
it’s a constant transmission, got me sitting down and thinking
if my own suffering is even worth the time i give it
but i know that can’t be true coz we aren’t one in the same
my hurt cannot be weighed against another person’s pain
we have our own battles man, that’s what i believe
and it always hurts most when those closest to us leave/
but sometimes they have to leave
