lyrics

Bm F#m
CH: Can’t see my bay ‘cos I’m locked down
Bm F#m
Sitting in my 6x 4 cell
Bm F#m
I’m sitting here waiting for that old key sound
Em A7
Without you I’m living in Hell

V1: If only we could turn back time
If only all those words had rhymed
I think that I might just lose my mind
Sometimes I dream that I could fly

CH:
V2: Every night I see you in my dreams
But they were only dreams it seems
So now I’m lying here I my greens
Babe you’re always my queen supreme

CH:
Katrina rap:
They’re trying to keep us apart / I don’t know where to start
Don’t know if my heart / can take this anymore
Just to kiss you on the cheek / To see you smile again
It’s like you’re standing outside my door
Even though I’m wide awake/ It’s a nightmare I can’t escape
I know there’s so much more at stake
I feel my heart’s about to break

CH: x2

Vivica Rap:
Yo. Change yr thinking and it’ll change yr life
‘cos I’m comin’ home to ya baby
It’s Visa, Katrina and Queen Bee Norma
Mary Wade they’ll be catching shade
I pray for the day I get out of these gates
I hold so much pain I’m caught up in fate
I m wishing these days to be back with my Fam
I’m missing my man and the times that we had
I wanna be free/just to be me/ I’m up in the scene
And all of these years that I’ve been
Here in this place / me and my mates
Been sitting here waiting to open these gates
Free from the chains/free from the locks
Free from my need to run from the cops
