Take Me Away - Devlin

Yeah, it’s Tales From The Crypt

Somebody needs to come and take me away I swear

I’m waiting, I’ve got my passport and everything

Big up Ratchet, it’s Devz

Something inside ain’t right, I can’t describe what it’s like

I hold my knife tight as at night, looking over my shoulder

Is this me for the rest of my life?

Cause every time I open the paper or watch the news

Somebody’s been stabbed and killed

Yeah it’s time that we have to chill

Britains like NY was in the eighties and that’s for real

Cause everybody wants to slash your grill

Kick doors off, run up in your house and brandish steel

Cause they think that it makes them real

But at the end of the day whats real?

Nobody’s born a thug so is the transformation forced on us?

No one wants to be took for a prick

These man have got sticks that they’re forced to pop

Somebody take me away because something doesn’t feel right

It feels like music was meant to be but these roads weren’t meant for me

So i’m screaming take me

Somebody take me away because something doesn’t feel right

It feels like music was meant to be but these roads weren’t meant for me

So i’m screaming take me

Some days me and Unique just roll out the bits

And each of us roll up a spliff and drive to the sticks in a whip

Where one day I hope to live and where the kids ain’t holding shivs

All I wanna do is stack high, I don’t wanna be a bad guy

I just wanna slide to the franchise so I can slip from the bits before me and

my mans die

And that day that my Nan died, God took a part of me, ripped out the heart of me

I feel the shivers so that’s how I know she’s looking after me

And me and Fakes man felt it, church (???)

Cold shivers and tears in our eyes so we know that she loves you from the other

side

My friend for life so don’t cry

Somebody take me away because something doesn’t feel right

It feels like music was meant to be but these roads weren’t meant for me

So i’m screaming take me

Somebody take me away because something doesn’t feel right

It feels like music was meant to be but these roads weren’t meant for me

So i’m screaming take me

Let me talk about life, bad enough at the best of times

I need somewhere peaceful to go life the rest of mine

I’m stuck behind enemy lines, there’s no saviour

You can pray but the lord won’t save ya

The ultimate maker, he placed us here

And now the whole worlds doomed cause of human behaviour

People destroy nature

So if I go through it’ll only be on my own two

I’ll take the position of hero, blow up and give a better life to my whole crew

And then I’ll come and laugh in your ear hole

Cause all I see is shanks and ballies

Little kids getting stabbed in allies

Them scumbags robbed my Nanny

It brings a tear to my eye, people don’t care in these times

Somebody take me away because something doesn’t feel right

It feels like music was meant to be but these roads weren’t meant for me

So i’m screaming take me

Somebody take me away because something doesn’t feel right

It feels like music was meant to be but these roads weren’t meant for me

So i’m screaming take me

Take me away from these Nam streets

A one way ticket to paradise

Girls on a calm beach, cocktails and the palm trees

I’ll be way out of harms reach

With a Lexus sign on the car keys, wake up keep wishing

I feel encaged and imprisoned

Even though I kill opposition, in any division they don’t listen

So where’s the credit i’m due?

I’m wasting away, I’ll be a skeleton soon

Important that I start selling these tunes

If not then It’s back to the road selling food

And I don’t want that, I just wanna blow

But there’s one thing I gotta know

Will I ever get over these roads, I don’t know

But I’d duck it for my Mother to go with no questions

Somebody take me away because something doesn’t feel right

It feels like music was meant to be but these roads weren’t meant for me

So i’m screaming take me

Somebody take me away because something doesn’t feel right

It feels like music was meant to be but these roads weren’t meant for me

So i’m screaming take me away
