maverick sabre - a change is gonna come

I was born by the river
In a little tent
Oh And just like the river
I been a running ever since
It's been a long
A long time coming but
I know a change gon' come
Oh Yes it will

It's been too hard living
but I'm afraid to die
Cause I don't know what's
up there beyond the sky
It's been a long
A long time coming but
I know a change gon' come
Oh, yes it will

And I go to the movie and
I go downtown
Somebody keeps telling me,
"Don't hang around"
It's been a long
A long time coming but
I know a change gon' come
Oh Yes it will

Then I go to my brother and I say,
I say "Brother help me please"
But he winds up knocking me back
down, back down on my knees

There've been times that I thought
I couldn't last for long
Now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long
A long time coming but
I know a change gon' come
Oh, yes it will
But I know a change gon' come

maverick sabre - slow down

[Maverick Sabre]
Had a feeling that you'd call me to say you're sorry
Instead you just said it's my mistake
Are you waging up a war for the sake of something to say?
When am I not to blame?
And what you got to say about me?
I don't know you very well if you're acting like someone else
And what you got to say about us
Don't you see this all leads to games, you should start trusting me

[Maverick Sabre & Jorja Smith]
Slow down, won't you come around?
Slow down, won't you come around to my ways?
(I've been tryin' not to let you go)
Slow down, won't you come around?
(Tryin' not to let you go)
Slow down, won't you come around to my place?

[Jorja Smith]
Well, I wish I could say sorry but I don't have much to say
You won't believe me anyway (anyway)
I got a thing for causin' arguments
But in my defense, I'm scared you'll walk away
And what I'm tryna say about me
I don't know me very well if I'm actin' like someone else
And what you got to say about us
Don't you see that I'm here to stay, you should start trustin' me (trustin' me)

[Maverick Sabre & Jorja Smith]
Slow down, won't you come around?
Slow down, won't you come around to my ways?
(I've been tryin' not to let you go)
Slow down, won't you come around?
(I've been tryin' not to let you go)
Slow down, won't you come around to my place?
(I've been tryin' not to let you go)

[Maverick Sabre]
Slow down, won't you come around?
Slow down, won't you come around to my ways?

[Jorja Smith]
You don't know me, like I wish you would
You don't know me, like I know you could
I don't want to be misunderstood, oh
'Cause I don't think you know

[Maverick Sabre & Jorja Smith]
(I've been tryin' not to let you go)
Slow down, won't you come around?
(I've been tryin' not to let you go)
Slow down, won't you come around to my ways?
(I've been tryin' not to let you go)
Slow down, won't you come around?
(I've been tryin' not to let you go)
Slow down, won't you come around to my place?
(I've been tryin' not to let you go)
Slow down, won't you come around?
Slow down, won't you come around to my ways?
(I've been tryin' not to let you go)
Slow down, won't you come around?
Slow down, won't you come around to my place?

I've been tryin' not to let you go (slow down)
But I'm fighting on my own (slow down)
Ain't no one else like you, I know
That's like this
I've been tryin' not to let you go (won't you come around?)
But I'm fighting on my own (slow down, slow down)
Ain't no one else like you, I know
That's like this
Slow don't, won't you come around to my ways?

maverick sabre - cold game

Seems like everybodys carrying
Now money is the motivation
Stone cold no reflection
What am I supposed to be but this
On the bus oh dark facing
Never smile always hide emotion

Cause even my bestfriends could be
the next men that change
Darlin'
Darlin' its a cold game
And it whats were living in
Darlin' its a cold game
Got away so I could change
Darlin' its a cold game
I don't want to live this way
But sometimes its like theres no other way

My knuckles bleeding once again
But I had to hold my place
No respect no intention
I didn't mean to cause you pain
It all happened to suddenly
A paranoia saved my back again
Told you id be alright though here to stand another day

Darlin'
Darlin' its a cold game
And it whats were living in
Darlin' its a cold game
Got away so I could change
Darlin' its a cold game
I don't want to live this way
But sometimes its like theres no other way

Face in the stars baby
They all seem so bright tonight
Please don't be angry, but it went to far this time
I thought he was punching lightly,
but the blood told different thing
Cause everythings going numb my head,
my lungs not sure if I'm dying but I'm fighting it trying as
I'm flying through the clouds up in the night
the sirens in the distance the cash and
Marley singing songs reminiscing visions of my past
living see faces I remember taking my hand saying
I'm forgivin siping Guinness chillin watch the world spinning
thought I would be alright baby if you hate me it's alright sorry
I'm an angel I'm your angel now I love you sorry

maverick sabre - i can never be

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah,
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

And you know I can never be,
What you want me to be,
And you know that you'll never make me change
And you know that the manual isn't inside of me
So, I might as well just walk out into the rain.

I tried so many times to be where you wanted,
So much better than before,
And I tried to say them things that you wanted to hear,
But it never, never ever worked...no.

And you know I can never be,
What you want me to be,
And you know that you'll never make me change
And you know that the manual isn't inside of me
So, I might as well just walk out into the rain.

I can picture you lying beside me,
Still remember kissing your face and watching you smile,
I can never be something I'm not and you know it
But I wish I could hold your hand and tell you it's alright.

But it's all so hard not to speak to you,
Cause I want to hear your voice again.
And it's all so hard not to speak to you,
Cause i want to hear your voice again.

And you know I can never be,
What you want me to be,
And you know that you'll never make me change
And you know that the manual isn't inside of me
So, I might as well just walk out into the rain.

And you know I can never be,
What you want me to be,
And you know that I'll never be changed
Cause the manual isn't inside of me
So I might as well just walk out into the rain.

Eh, eh, eh...
No no no no

I can never...never...be what you want me to be,
Cause the manual isn't inside of me...

maverick sabre - i don t see the sun

And I don't ever feel too much round here
And I never did
And I don't ever see the sun round here
And I never did

[Verse 1]
I've been walking for days
Just, just trying to find a song
That could heal my woes
But so many faces never could

I've been standing alone
In a full room trying to feel
Like I was someone too
But I never could

And I don't ever feel too much round here
And I never did
And I don't ever see the sun round here
And I never did

[Verse 2]
Been sinking deeper and deeper
Drowning the frowns away
And beneath this tough skin
I'm screaming for someone else

What I say is falling on deaf ears
When I cry no-one sees
My skinny legs drag me across
These cracked pavements and stench streets

And I don't ever feel too much round here
And I never did
And I don't ever see the sun round here
And I never did

And I never did
No I never did

And I don't ever feel too much round here
And I never did
And I don't ever see the sun round here
And I never did

And I never did
And I never did
Nah, round here
No, no, no
Never feel too much round here
And I never did

maverick sabre - i need

I need sunshine, I need angels, I need
Something good, yeah I need
Blue skies, I need them old times, I need
Something good, yeah something good
Something good, yeah something good
Oh oh oh oh

All these days seem so far away
And I went too far enough to wait
I've come
Way back then when I hadn't seen
Half them things I'd never thought I'd see
Become someone I'd never thought I'd be, oh

Cause there's something good,
Yeah, I need sunshine, I need angels, I need
Something good, yeah I need
Blue skies, I need them old times, I need
Something good, yeah something good
Something good, yeah something good
Oh oh oh oh

All these days seem to fade away as I lost faith in myself
Questioned everything I stood for
No no ain't more left to look for in life
I began to lose all, found it harder to cope
With everything around me
And them people that would doubt me
Oh I, I was in a place that I didn't wanna be
Seeing face after face I didn't wanna see, I I I
I didn't go out of my mind, only god knows
And all them girls that I used to see running 'round
Was like the rain that I used to see pouring down, ey ey ey
They did nothing for me

Cause I need sunshine, I need angels, I need
Something good, yeah I need
Blue skies, I need them old times, I need
Something good, yeah something good
Something good, yeah something good
Oh oh oh oh no no

I need sunshine, I need angels, I need
Something good, yeah I need
Blue skies, I need them old times, I need
Something good, something good
Something good, yeah
Oh oh oh oh no no

I need, I need, I need
I need, I need, I need

maverick sabre - i used to have it all

I remember how I used to feel
Things just seemed so sweet
Now they don't
And it's so hard to see
I remember how I used to be
Now it's all just changed
And I'm cold in the grave
It's like I won't ever be the same, no
Now I'm alone

But I used to have it all
But now, I'm slipping and I'm falling down
Them days seem so close
But somehow they've gone so far away

See something just ain't right
See your government kill others
For a wage that's how we waste life
I bleed, you bleed, we bleed together
Getting lost up in the system
That teaches us to be separate
Easier and ignorant when we're locked up in sections
As one, we're strong, hold on, never let up
I'm fed up living in this world
Where they tell us we're nothing
Without money to show and to represent us
But damn my skin color
Cause we're still brothers and sisters
Don't let them tell you any different.
I'm still trapped in this system
I'm locked in this prison
We're still trapped in this system
I'm locked in this prison

But I used to have it all
But now, I'm slipping and I'm falling down
Them days seem so close
But somehow they've gone so far away [3x]

maverick sabre - let me go

Oh, let me go, you let me down
When I'm with you, I'm broken now
You made me fail, you understand
With you I won't be

I can still taste you on my lips, your tenderness
You always gave me something
The way you made me feel before you left
See you're changing me, dazing me
That this wasn't real, that's not what I want to hear
Oh Lord, still you always keep me wanting

Only this time it seems, they've always been
The safest place for hiding
People love to say, I'm blind to see
I can't face it, I'm wasted
And you never speak
And that's all I ever need
Oh Lord, still you always keep me wanting

Oh, let me go, you let me down
When I'm with you, I'm broken now
You made me feel, you understand
With you I won't be, a better man
(You give me the demon to love you)
Got too many reasons why I can't
(You give me the demon to meet)

Oh Lord, you picked me up so many times
But now you just break my soul
No more, I tried to stop loving you
But I don't really have control
Oh Lord, no matter how hard I try
I always end up on this road
Oh, still you always keep me wanting

Oh, let me go, you let me down
When I'm with you, I'm broken now
You made me feel, you understand
With you I won't be, a better man
(You give me the demon to love you)
Got too many reasons why I can't
(You give me the demon to meet)
(You give me the demon to love you)
Every single reasons why I'm back
(You give me the demon to meet)

maverick sabre - let me show you

Cause I will spend a whole night long so you know it,

Feel your body close, only you and me,
Kiss you from your nose right down to your feet,

what they wanna change, they hate their skin,
everything so they look away,
too small, or too big, not as pretty as the girl in the magazine.

young girls getting made up
wanna grow up fast cause thats the way we live now
but we're missing out on everything
summer days in the rays playing games with your friends a bit
look, what we take away from them,
look, what we take away from them,
look, what we take away from them,
look what we take away.

done to you done you

maverick sabre - no one

I changed myself for you
I opened up all them doors I closed
To let you in and now I feel a fool

You played so many games
I was sitting in just blind to it
From the start I should have seen everything you did

Every time you smile I wonder why
Every time you say you love me, lie
Every time we touch I break inside

Cause no one else could dry these tears
You left me broken with nothing more to give
When I kiss you on your cheaty lips
All I ever picture is you with him
Cause no one else could dry these tears
You left me broken with nothing more to give
When I kiss you on your cheaty lips
All I ever picture is you with him

Does he feel the same as me
As you lay right there just holdin' in underneath the sheets
And do I need nothing,
Cause I gave you everything I could and you never gave a thing

Every time you smile I wonder why
Every time you say you love me, lie
Cause every time we touch I break inside

Cause no one else could dry these tears
You left me broken with nothing more to give
When I kiss you on your cheaty lips
All I ever picture is you with him
Cause no one else could dry these tears
You left me broken with nothing more to give
When I kiss you on your cheaty lips
All I ever picture is you with him

So many nights I'm waiting for you
So many times I tried to do
Everything but to call you
But never call

Cause no one else could dry these tears
You left me broken with nothing more to give
When I kiss you on your cheaty lips
All I ever picture is you with him
Cause no one else could dry these tears
You left me broken with nothing more to give
When I kiss you on your cheaty lips
All I ever picture is you with him
When I kiss you on your cheaty lips
All I ever picture is you with him.

maverick sabre - open my eyes

I opened my eyes and finally realised
All this time I've been blind
Walking this road it seems we all follow
But its so hard to change [x3] seems theres no way

I see so many die for it
Cause we all run around these jungles living life correct
Theres no change anymore but the way that it makes us
Locks us up everything becomes to hard to fight against
Were all born in the belly of the beast
Cause they teach you to reach for that
But I didn't dream never speaking
They say your words wont ever mean shit
And people without a voice are just to easy

I opened my eyes and finally realised
All this time I've been blind
Walking this road it seems we all follow
But its so hard to change [x3] seems theres no way

See its like now your salary
Is much more important than your sanity
Or much more important than your mentality
She wont fall in love with your mind or your soul
But she fall in love with that Ralph Tee
They say it makes the Earth spin but all I see
Is everything is hurting and I don't think its worth it
I never say I'm perfect cause I'm far from
I just absorbed every word and we don't deserve this
I takes our empowerment and makes us worthless
Cause now were not searching for love
But were searching everywhere just for a wage to give us purpose
And if I die then I wont take a dollar with me
In the ground see no pounds in my pocket sitting
Cause id love a big house on the hill
But what really matters in the end is the music
And my wifey annette life livin it

I opened my eyes and finally realised
All this time I've been blind
Walking this road it seems we all follow
But its so hard to change [x3] seems theres no way

So long there's no way outta this
And it feels so wrong standing looking
But when all this has gone moneys never holding
When all this moneys never holding me no

I opened my eyes and finally realised
All this time I've been blind
Walking this road it seems we all follow
But its so hard to change [x3] seems theres no way

maverick sabre - running away

Ahh, ahhh
VERSE
Lost in a grave
Concrete tower blocks
This rain don't seem to stop
I'm trapped in these chains
Stalking queues for drugs
I know that I aint far now
I pray for a change
But a change don't seem to come
Man, my faith don't feel enough, no
Cause this aint what i want to hear

BRIDGE
And i never thought
This life would be like this, no
CHORUS
Running away
I need to escape, far
Got to get away, from here
Got to get away
Running away
I need to escape,far
Got to get away, from here
Got to get away, from here

VERSE
None of my friends, speak
Say words don't mean a thing
They told us not to dream
See behind that fear
Just wont stop teaching us
That were not good enough
We pray for a change
But a change dont seem to come
Man, my faith don't feel enough, no
Cause this aint
What i want to hear
BRIDGE
And i never though, this life would be like this
No

CHORUS
Running away
I need to escape, far
Got to get away from here
Got to get away
Running away
I need to escape, far
Got to get away, from here
Got to get away, from here
VERSE
You dont feel this pain, in the clouds
Cause you're so far away
Yeahhh!

CHORUS
Running away, now
I need to escape, far
Got to get away from here
Got to get away, from here
Running away
I need to escape, far
Got to get away, from here
Got to get away, from here
Got to get away, from here
Got to get away, from here

maverick sabre - shooting the stars

Mmm, mmm, Yeah, yeah,
try to lock you down, yeah, yeah
Shooting the stars, lock you away for nothing
Blood on the streets,
Seems like they do what they feel

I've seen a silent man thrown in a riot van,
hands behind his back strapped tight keeps him quiet but he wasn't ever violent,
officers scratching off their numbers so they can't be identified or ever get in trouble.
Please understand the struggle it's like no where there's the love,
how's a kid supposed to feel when he's always getting stopped 'cause the area he's from might gun you down if you run.

Shooting the stars, lock you away for nothing
Blood on the streets
Seems like they do what they feel
Shooting the stars, lock you away for nothing
Blood on the streets
Seems like they kill when they feel

And they can.
Try and lock away an individual, but they can never lock and chain your spiritual.
Your body may be trapped but your minds never stopped and
I wing all that block, for them years all them months.
It don't make sense when I see rapists getting sentenced less then men who rob,
to send their kids to school with food in their belly and a roof over their head and sheets to keep them warm in their bed.
They shot an innocent man they, on the tube last year,
so tell us how we're not supposed to fear if I get stopped and searched for the way that I look and then charged with a crime that was never ever due.
I've seen my mum crying tears when they mention the year behind bars for what the said that I did but they could never convict.
Yeah, they can kill you and get away with it.
Or take Oscar ran off a chain and while two officers hold him down,
shoot him in the back of the head like no body ever hears a sound, yeah like no body ever hears a sound.
And two officers hold him down and shoot him in the back of the head, like no body's ever gonna hear a sound.

No, no, shooting the stars, lock you away for nothing
Blood on the streets
Seems like they do what they feel
Shooting the stars, lock you away for nothing
Blood on the streets
Seems like kill when they feel

Ooh ooh Ohh, yeah yeah yeah, down
Seems like they kill when they feel.

maverick sabre - sometimes

Yeah, I was born in Stoke Newington, Stokey from old city
Where concrete is over trees and all dreams get cut and bleed
Walking free, when I was young I used to duck and weave
Playing up in Clissold Park and laughing in that London breeze
?93, I was a three year old with many schemes
Junior playing football skills of Arsenal just like they call me
Sticker books remember wrestling the young?n takin? I was phased
Used to idolize when he gave you a break-up
I was in a nursery making story cakes, feeling love
For the first time I remember days
When I was bullied, beat up, then kicked and slapped away
Clutching on the monkey bars and hoping they?d all go away
Loved them city sounds and sirens in the dark at night
Helicopters fly above my head, I?d never get afraid
I loved them early days, living in that constant noise
Bustle in my ear was like music to this little boy

Sometimes we go and forget where we came from
And we don?t know
Sometimes we go and forget where we came from
And we don?t know
Sometimes we go and forget where we came from
And we don?t know
Yeah, we don?t know

July ?94, we packed up and closed the door
Every note was now just some image I?m returning to
What we left behind, my friends, my cousins, relatives
My birthplace, my first taste of how to live and how to give
Hackney down?s playin? (?) of memories
Sittin? on the boat, crying that was all that?s meant to be
I was scared of startin? school again; will some be all rude again?
Beat me up and treat me like a fool again.
(?)
Growin? up a (?) outside and never settle quick
(?) when you?re treated like a lump of sh*t
Saying you were black and time to account for what you f*cking did
But I never did nothing, told ?em that so many times
(?) screamed out loud sayin? sh*t like they were right
I hate that history, I hate that Union Jack
I?ll never speak for any man or any flag

Sometimes we go and forget where we came from
And we don?t know
Sometimes we go and forget where we came from
And we don?t know
Sometimes we go and forget where we came from
And we don?t know
Yeah, we don?t know

Sittin? back, staring through the haze of that road on that beaten track
Sittin? back, staring through the haze of that road on that beaten track
It was like I?m in a beast of a lion and me peacefully dying
But I had no friends I could ever rely on
I was sittin? back, watchin? through the haze of that road on that beaten track
But keeping that evil intact
I put the beat to track
Found freedom, found out
I could be myself, and find my world through my roots back
I never wanted to adapt or in fact take an action or an act
That for years they told me "F*ck facts"

Sometimes we go and forget where we came from
And we don?t know
Sometimes we go and forget where we came from
And we don?t know
Sometimes we go and forget where we came from
And we don?t know
Yeah, we don?t know
[repeat]
