Stormzy – I Got My Smile Back Lyrics

 

I Got My Smile Back Lyrics by Stormzy

 

Woah, oh
Woah, oh
Woah, oh
Woah, oh
Woah

They tried to tell us that we can’t adjust
Everybody’s talking culture, but it starts with us
And to be fair, I could have parked the bus
N***** tearing down my wings, like it ain’t hard enough
Was it beginner’s 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
Tighter than the stitching on my leather seats
Heavy is the head, I haven’t slept for weeks
I check the time on my Patek Phillipe
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***** homage and we kept receipts
N***** walk through the door and didn’t leave the key
I treat Dave the way these n***** shoulda treated me
Every Hendo 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***** 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**** 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 coming 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
The sun behind my rain
The colour in my pain
I may fall down
Feet, don’t fail me now
‘Cause through this 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**** doesn’t fool me since I quit the weed
I shout my n**** purpose, that’s my realest G
I’ve 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 shit
You was my old friend, but now we on some new shit”
Me and suicidal thoughts, we haven’t spoke for years
You know all my deepest secrets, you know all my fears
Pray that I don’t ever see your face again
Like me and peace of mind became the best of friends

Finally, my eyes can see (My n****, hm)
The sun behind my rain
The colour in my pain
I may fall down
Feet, don’t fail me now
‘Cause through this storm
I found my smile

Finally, my eyes can see
The sun behind my rain
The colour in my pain
I may fall down but
Feet, don’t fail me now
‘Cause through this storm
I found my smile
