Lay Me Bare Stormzy

[Hook]
One more time, I'll make it clear
This some shit I hate to share
Escape this life or pay the fare
Grab this gun and aim it there
Shoot my pain and slay my fear
Before I die, I say my prayer
Don't worry about the mess, just lay me there
This is all I got, so lay me bare
Look, one more time, I'll make it clear
This some shit I hate to share
Escape this life or pay the fare
Grab this gun and aim it there
Shoot my pain and slay my fear
Before I die, I say my prayer
Don't worry about the mess, just lay me there
This is all I got, so lay me bare

[Verse 1]
Lord, help me, please, I'm breaking down
Tryna call my name and take my crown
Little bit of pain, I'll paint the town
When they put me in my grave, don't make a sound
'Cause there's still some days I find it hard
Smoke my spliff and write my bars
I know they see me climb the charts
But plaques won't help me find my heart
Yo, God, what's good? I need you bad
Devil's in my ear, I need you back
Got scars in my soul, I've been attacked
Even when I'm low, I seem relaxed
But then year's been mad, I lost my way
They think I went ghost to drop my tape
Not knowing that I fell and lost my faith
Like, Satan, please no, not today
So fuck this shit, this ain't a joke
Just to get away, I take a toke
I took this pain and made a boat
Lord knows how the fuck it's staying afloat
Last year, I cried too many times
Weren't for Flipz and weren't for rhymes
Weren't for Rachel, weren't for Kelly
Man, them people saved my life
Like man'a get low sometimes, so low sometimes
Airplane mode on my phone sometimes
Sitting in my house with tears in my face
Can't answer the door to my bro sometimes
Roaming around all alone sometimes
Don't know sometimes
I was a young Ned Stark
But this shit's like Game of Thrones sometimes
