Shystie - Arms Wide Open lyrics

Every day's the same, Can't get out of bed, Crazy thoughts are rushin' in my head. Said I'd never take my life But, I had them nights Where I'm like, f** it, Let me sniff away my life with lines. So I sniff and cry Dealing with my problems, Which are on the rise like the gun crime in Tottenham Then I sit and zone And I feel a bit alone On my Jack Jones, Trynna find a way out of this hole. No one knows how I feel deep down inside, Many nights I've cried Nobody around me to confide in And no one can identify with what I'm really fightin', It's bigger than the drug related problem that I'm hidin'. So I looked inside, Somethin' then replied 'You're not a kid no more, Kiss your Kidulthood goodnight.' So I did and cried And when I opened up my eyes, Adulthood was waitin' for me arms open wide. CHORUS Now you wait for days Thinkin' what could be? Adulthood creeps up so quickly. This city takes you in with Open arms and grows you. So I'm sittin' on this chair Battlin' myself, Phone to my ear But, it goes to voicemail. Lips start to quiver, My face says 'help' As my eyes turn red And then begin to swell. I leave a little message Kinda spillin' out my guts But, I word it well, I come across like I don't give a f** And it's such a bait life But, I do it on the sly Where I end it like 'Call me if you want, K? Bye.' Back to sittin' on my Jack Jones, Lightin' up a cigarette And tears start to flow. Coke on the table, like no. Kick it over, What, so is this how my life's supposed to go? So I looked inside, Somethin' then replied 'You're not a kid no more, Kiss your Kidulthood goodnight.' So I did and cried And when I opened up my eyes, Adulthood was waitin' for me arms open wide. CHORUS So what's it gonna take for me to turn my life around? Take my finger out my arse and finally sort it out. I just need someone to help me up when I fall down And help me when I'm on my knees and lift me off the ground. (Ground, ground) I'm just lookin' for a way out To the point I'm never lookin' back and I stay out, No longer wishin' I could trade places for a day out In another man's shoes 'cos I hate my life, day out. So it's now or never, Give up or be a go-getter, That's suttin' to better me Instead of bein' like, 'whatever'. I hate to admit it but, I can't be like this forever Man, I really wanna change It's time to get my life together. So I looked inside, And somethin' then replied 'You're not a kid no more, Kiss your Kidulthood goodnight.' So I did and I Waved it goodbye And greeted Adulthood with my arms open wide. CHORUS
