You keep telling me that things have gotta be different You keep telling me that, something ain't right but I've been walking down this road so many times and I ain't got not time or no patience Baby don't cry but I'm gonna say later Chorus We should Never given it away so easily We should never given it up so easily (repeat) Why every little moment gotta be a crazy time? Maybe We should just stop and simmer down I aways wonder why your causing dramas around the time till I realise you just trying to make sure you be the one to wear the crown so get on baby, you know we never got on baby helll elll elll- cash your cheque and go my circuit overload Chorus Take me back to when I knew my self take me back to when I knew myself, take me back

It's been a couple months since we both left home I been running here for miles, you won't answer your phone Know that I never want to leave you on your own but the bobbies they came close, so you know I had to go Feels like I been running this time, since time began I must' ave lost track of the time and it over ran I tried to play the show, but they just told me no And then they never stopped coming, now I'm falling off... The edge I'm sitting, Cos this city life you know its getting me down It never stops you see it always spins round such a rush every where, I'm close to melt down I only show my face in the night 'cos I'm the Smooth Runner Tell mumma that I love her I'm the Smooth Runner no time to play the lover I'm the smooth runner I don't wish it on no other Should have spent my life out different Send the word out to my brother Should Never started that fight We were living it right We were working through it Life was at our fingertips but the bottle always got in the way Now we're never gonna finish this When the Five-oh come my way My life you know they're binnin' it And when they get me I'll be out of luck So send my love to my babies 'cos you know I ain't walking Might be some time So make sure it's the truth they know That I've always tried to be there and one day I'll show them so Tell them that I'm sorry if its a long time coming And baby know it no joke No I won't be forgotten I'll be there with you every time that I'm down, Don't make no sound, 'Cos you know that they'll be sad when I'm no longer around Cos I'm the Smooth Runner Tell mumma that I love her I'm the Smooth Runner no time to play the lover I'm the smooth runner I don't wish it on no other Should have spent my life out different Send the word out to my brother You're a mum and I'm a dad we can't keep going on This way, this way It's bad enough the babies don't know if they gonna see us Each day, each day I know I'm no help the way I am and there's nothing else that I can say But if we keep on going this way they'r gonna take em both away 'Cos I'm the Smooth Runner You're my last chance girl You and them are all ive got What little I had I've lost Every time that I'm out It don't take long till I drop I am the Smooth Runner 'Cos I got no where to turn Just got some cash made up to burn Though I'm feeling the cost I'm' a keep on going this way 'Cos I feel my life is lost

Don’t be keeping that love inside and feel the need to be acting shifty Take advice swallow your pride Don’t want to lose no more of the young and gifted Take a look when you’re old and wise you’ll see when the table’s shifted Tell you age old beef and ego never gonna get this damn curse lifted Lookin’ for that Chorus A Sisterhood and Brotherhood From here to another hood Cos who’s around when it hits the fan and won’t smile till its all good Lookin’ for that Sisterhood and Brotherhood From here to another hood Only they understand when it don’t go to plan and won’t smile till its all good I got cuts all around this bleedin’ heart Though power in numbers this people torn apart Just need to make something, Fuse it all in the dark ‘Cos right now I ain’t got nothing lookin’ for that starter spark I’ve looked in the corners on benches in the park Up and down for signs on every trees bark People closing ranks Emptiness getting stark They disappear quick before they even make their mark Lookin’ for that Sisterhood and Brotherhood From here to another hood Cos who’s around when it hits the fan and won’t smile till its all good Lookin’ for that Sisterhood and Brotherhood From here to another hood Only they understand when it don’t go to plan and won’t smile till its all good Chorus B Sisters and Brothers there to pick you up Sisters and brothers there to show you love When you’re elders aint there to help you make the jump Sisters and brothers there to make sure that you don’t mess up Sometimes I wish that I could rewind the time Got brothers out here that are willing to shine Band’s got my back and it aint easy to find So sometimes I just go into a deep frame of mind I’m just thinking and thinking of different plans Getting shifted and shifted by moving sands More than one way Just to make a grand When you’re here to fix the ends- then hold out your hand Lookin’ for that Sisterhood and Brotherhood From here to another hood Cos who’s around when it hits the fan and won’t smile till its all good Lookin’ for that Sisterhood and Brotherhood From here to another hood Only they understand when it don’t go to plan and won’t smile till its all good Sisters and Brothers there to pick you up Sisters and brothers there to show you love When you’re elders aint there to help you make the jump Sisters and brothers there to make sure that you don’t mess up

Oh I sense a mutiny Oh would you be true to me Or stab me in the back Forget all the things you promised me Neighbours blame neighbours It lead to chaos in the end While secret enemies plot and ready To take the ends They’re breaking us up Turning prisoners into serfs Should a been queen’s of the future Picking up the dirt Seems to me geography determines what you’re worth In a system that makes poverty and tells us that it works CHORUS The Storm is coming The Storm is coming in So lock your windows and start praying see your eyes are jealous as you see me on the rise Standing in the darkness as I see through your disguise Your traps’ll never catch me cos they come as no surprise Our plans’ll never fall down ‘cos we never deal with lies It’s too rough, the cloud’s have gone to dark People forgotten just how to feel with their heart I wonder which event hit me most, tore me apart Death of loved one’s Babie’s taken off in carts It’s time we got some discipline its time the hood start listening Yeah the jewels are glistening but most of us aint fitting in Lots of sons are dying here, don’t mean to be prying here But wise ones are steppin’ up cos nuff man just be lying here. Chorus Its just another kid in the skies, which one’s next and for what Can’t sit and leave the fate to the rest Some are blessed and leave with the P’s and good dress But the ends stay the same just one less success… Story, it’s boring, seeing the same old poor feeling sore little more status and power than their sex its not easy seeing broken faces up on a regs see we all got talent but we feel like dregs same feel of paranoia, when we see the fed already done wrong just by getting out of bed no wonder youth feel lost and they see the red If kids initiate themselves then they burn down the fence Its not easy this life, but don’t need to be so trife Bad enough before Myron lost his sweet life When you fools realise road struggles ain’t right Put your arms and your pens to the real damn fight Outro It’s still a comin’ even if you close your eyes You might want forgiveness But its too late to realise Kiss all your loved ones Might be your last goodbye Bless the sunrise And praise the blue skies

Sleepless Nights No More Sleepless Nights No more pointless fights ‘cos baby everything I do, You know I do it for you Pain come to light, Somebody come right, in the nick of time In a way that enlighten And bring a smile Wait nothing more than a green light A meeting that make warmth in the coldest night Not a shed of doubt when I Behold the sight Don’t need no outside view to know its right To make sweet love and peace In a world that wants to fight No more sleepless nights, no more pointless fights ‘cos baby everything I do, You know I do it for you ‘Cos life is a wild ride, so baby let’s do it right cos baby everything I do, you know I do it for you. You look me in the Eye and say that you like it When I can't bare the sight of me, Now I'm over excited I'm over myself now, let's make tracks now its all decided I've always known where I'm coming from But always had trouble knowing where I'm heading too I'm heading too No more sleepless nights, no more pointless fights ‘cos baby everything I do, You know I do it for you ‘Cos life is a wild ride, so baby let’s do it right cos baby everything I do, you know I do it for you.

Till We Get Through In a time, when the real face of evil is nameless Where the fools of this age, talk aloud, proud and shameless We fight for a future, through a fault that seems ageless I gues no one ever said this struggle would be easy or painless ‘Til we get through We come to bring the hype We come to set it right We come to earn the right We come to shine the light on Why do people have to suffer Before they get any goddamn respect Like we got to step into the water Though we don’t want to feel the wet Open your arms to the other, ‘cos nobody want to feel regret time to step into this world until the heart is what reflects ‘Til we get through ‘Til we get through ‘Til we get through ‘Til we get through
