Distant Man

Lyrics: Joseph Wesley Ripolles-Williams/Harvey Grant/Anup Paul/Ntuthuko Nhlumayo/Oliver Heffernan Music: Joseph Wesley Ripolles-Williams/Harvey Grant/Anup Paul/Ntuthuko Nhlumayo/Oliver Heffernan From way back then, and still near you Used tell me don’t let nobody speak for you So the least I can do is sing for you We used to dream about the little things back then Uh Tell a dream about the the little things back then Uh Tell a dream about the little things back then Uh Least I can do is sing for you Hm Just dream about the little things back then
I'm down on my knees but I don't want that Uh huh I'm down on my knees but I don't want that Ah Theres blood on the leaves, but I don't want that Uh huh I don’t wanna leave and never come back Ah uh Is it harder to breathe? I'm not too sure Mmm These days just pass me by Mmm Maybe I was living too fast, too fast I couldn't believe I never looked back Looked back I'm down on my knees
So what's been on your mind lately? Feelings out of spite Turned my life into a melody So much for the summer Tryna come up, ain't no telling me Still up when the sun up when my mind get too ahead of me So much on the line, ain't no c'est la vie or meant to be A hundred ways to die, I'll do that shit before they bury me Who can say they turned a dream into a memory? Three-sixty-five, how you feel I'm on the way Bad energy aside, tryna celebrate my day Had shadows on my ceiling, I could see no god Uh Back then I couldn’t really see no star Uh That doesn’t mean I’ll never beat those odds Uh So when I bleed you never see no scars And back home by brothers never had a voice, so
The least I could do is sing for you The least I could do is sing for you The least I could do is sing for you The least I could do is sing for you
I'm down on my knees but I don't want that Uh huh I'm down on my knees but I don't want that Ah Theres blood on the leaves, but I don't want that Uh huh I don’t wanna leave and never come back Ah uh Is it harder to breathe? I'm not too sure Mmm These days just pass me by Maybe I was living too fast, too fast I couldn't believe I never looked back Looked back I'm down on my knees
So what's been on your mind lately? I'm talking to the sky, but when I call, there's no reception I got fears that I'm projecting, I got joy that I'm protecting They gon’ feel me on my new shit Feel me in my essence I just miss when it was simple, I forgot to count my blessings Now I'm feeling colder from the seasonal confessions Got me holding onto grudges, like the taste of my own venom They gon’ see me on my new shit See me being reckless Heavy weight still on my shoulder, least it's also on my necklace Same time I got some fam without a pension Tried to show affection No answer for their questions Bled to get the bag 'cause paper cuts just cut the tension Head was in the clouds, the ground was burning like a Benson Hedging, bets against my own intentions Still I see the same **** in reflection Took some words back I said, even if I meant some I guess I still ain’t learned my lesson
It took me a long, long time, I know I felt you drift It took me a long, long time to like the rain clouds I think there’s a war outside, I know how much I’d give How much I'd give The least I could do is sing for you
