I Got My Smile Back - Stormzy

Woah, ooh
Woah, ooh
Woah, ooh
Woah, ooh
Woah, ooh
Woah, ooh
Woah, ooh
Woah, ooh

They tried to tell us that we can't adjust
Everybody's talkin' culture, but it starts with us
And to be fair, I could've parked the bus
N_ggas tearin' down my winds, like it ain't hard enough
Was it beginners luck or was it blood of Christ?
They said that it's a fluke, so then, I done it twice
Me and Toby due to up the price
Thank God we never listened to your dumb advice
I gotta listen when my shepherd speaks
Bible studies at the crib, oh, they gon' let me preach
Tired of the stitchin' on my leather seats
Heavy is the head, I haven't slept for weeks
I check the time on my Patek Fillipe
There's no time to kill, they wanna see me rest in peace
Couple man are cool, but the rest are neeks
We paid you n_ggas homage and we kept receipts
N_ggas walked through the door and didn't leave the key
I treat Dave the way these n_ggas should've treated me
Every handle needs a Stevie G
I done it back to back to back, I'm on my DBE
I put my phone on DND, super necessary, n_ggas never keep it brief
Generation, all they do is pray and tweet
Reparations, we gon' feed the streets
I still believe Jehovah's gonna free me from the shackles of my troubled past
And way before I juggled bars, a n_gga had to hustle hard
All I ever wanted was some kettles and a couple cars
I was at my lowest when I bought myself the double-R
The things we do to cover scars, thirties comin', but we young at heart
Tell the EDL we didn't come to march, the documentary's gotta come in parts, yeah

Finally, my eyes can see
There's sun behind my rain, there's color in my pain
I may fall down, feet don't fail me now
'Cause through the storm, I found my smile

Yo, I think I got my smile back
The last time I linked depression was a while back
Me and loneliness kick it from time to time
She knows the deal, that I ain't hers and she ain't mine
Me and Joy got tighter, that was overdue
Paranoia doesn't shout me, but I know the truth
That n_gga doesn't feel me since I quit the weed
I shout my n_gga Purpose, that's my realest G
I told Love we should build a home
I told Self-Doubt, you better watch your tone
Stop shoutin' down my line, like you gon' do sh_t
You was my old friend, but now we on some new sh_t
Me and suicidal thoughts, we haven't spoke for years
You know all my deepest secrets, you know all my fears
I pray that I don't ever see your face again
Like me and peace of mind became the best of friends, my n_gga, ha

Finally, my eyes can see
There's sun behind my rain, there's color in my pain
I may fall down, feet don't fail me now
'Cause through the storm, I found my smile
Finally, my eyes can see
There's sun behind my rain, the color in my pain
I may fall down, but feet don't fail me now
'Cause through the storm, I found my smile
