Oh Girl(Redux) ft. Slap Up Mill Lyrics

Oh girl, I'd be in trouble if you left me now

Cause I don't know where to look for love, I just don't know how

Oh girl, I'd be in trouble if you left me now

Cause I don't know where to look for love, I just don't know how

The names have been changed to protect those who left a mark on my heart

The other side of me take a look at my past

When I heard this beat I had to take a trip down memory lane

Back when the sun used to shine before the rain came

When I was a youth, used to think I was a big man

Player in these streets with my boys holding a beer can

Rowdy as fuck, giving out abuse for no reason

Summer on the swings yo, that was our season

Gate crashing parties, clubbing underage

There wasn't a day we didn't smack someone else in the face

Started noticing this girl, every place that we came through

Brown hair, slim figure, beautiful, 5'2 we hooked up

But I fell kinda deep but I could see that she didn't like the other side of me

Cause whenever we was out, beef would come my way

If not, stupidness would see me fighting anyway

Like this one time my man got, fighting with another guy

I was standing with my girl then the bottle smashed between my eyes

Drunk and angry, ran and punched into the ruckus

Cause I could taste blood in my mouth, I wanted to kill some motherfuckers

Got broken up by the bouncers, got banned from that joint

My girl was mad as hell but I could see her point

We never had peace, no one time we was out

She left me for good, I had to learn to calm down

Oh girl, I'd be in trouble if you left now

Cause I don't know where to look for love, I just don't know how

Oh girl, I'd be in trouble if you left now

Cause I don't know where to look for love, I just don't know how

I met a girl I really liked, a lot of time got spent

Started losing contact with my old school friends

I couldn't leave the flat, cause of warrants and beefs

People were like Saabs, moved away from these streets

Drinking every day, an anti-social drunken wreck

She pulled me to my feet and for that I show respect

I put life in her belly, a miracle so natural time

To make a happy home out of these sad four walls

I got a kid on the way but the sky's still grey

Had to do a few jobs to get life moving again

Time flew, we was having fun, she gave me a beautiful son

There's not another woman I would choose to have as his mum

As a year went past, we drifted apart

Every day I hit the studio, gave hip hop my heart

Threw myself into the deep end I don't care if I drown

I'm gonna rise to the top, I ain't no one hit clown

I'll get behind the mic and picture life's hardship

And I spit from the soul, the only way you're gonna feel it

Memories of me getting beat by my dad as a youth

This album represents me, nothing but the truth

And if you ain't feeling this, fuck how you feel

Cause there's a lot of truth in the saying, real no real

And this ain't about money, it's all about ambition

I gotta come hard every time cause life's a stage, fuck auditions

Oh girl, I'd be in trouble if you left me now

Cause I don't know where to look for love, I just don't know how

Oh girl, I'd be in trouble if you left me now

Cause I don't know where to look for love, I just don't know how

Got with the next girl when I least expect

She was everything I wanted, couldn't get her out my head

We got involved in some shit with some dodgy cheques

But then shit backfired and our thing got wrecked

Now I got the police all on my case

Every time I go to sleep all I see is her face

Mike says get your fucking priorities straight

Girls come and go but prison's a big time waste

How we gonna drop the next LP with you in a cell

Vision clouded at a critical time with a girl

Yeah what's it to do with him, but he's right I guess

But the emotion that's causing this is hard to suppress

Situation's a mess, something better just left

Got to sort the shit I'm in and take a hard earned rest

Life's what you make, experience molds your frame

Thank you for being a guest on my trip down memory lane

Oh girl, I'd be in trouble if you left me now

Cause I don't know where to look for love, I just don't know how

Oh girl, I'd be in trouble if you left me now

Cause I don't know where to look for love, I just don't know how

Oh girl, tell me what am I gonna do

I know I got a guilty face, girl I feel so out of place

Oh girl, tell me what am I gonna do

I know I got a guilty face, girl I feel so out of place

Oh girl, I guess I better go

I can save myself a lot of useless tears, girl I gotta get away from here

Thanks for watching
