[Intro: Tulisa]
Dappy, turn my mic up
Mmm

[Verse 1: Tulisa]
Today is the day that I'm gonna tell just a little 'bout myself (Myself)
All of these haters, they don't understand me
They can't touch the pain I've felt (Ooh)
I wish I could show them all of my secrets and they might see through me
But if I tell my secrets or expose my weakness, then I can let 'em tear through me
Ooh, mummy had problems, daddy couldn't solve them
Won't stop, they just add to her pain
Daddy, it's okay, yeah, I still love you
Because you show me love in every way
Mummy, I'm sorry for not always caring
I get so lost when you weren't around
Since I was a young girl, I kept us related
I don't trust so I won't get let down

[Chorus: Tulisa & Dappy]
So look (Look) behind (Behind) my smile
I'm crying out and I'm left without a hand
T, no, you ain't, you can tell us anythin'
And we'll advise you in every way
One more thing, for those who don't know, we is family
We've known each other since we were babies
[Verse 2: Fazer]
So I guess it's just another one of them days (Ah)
I got bills to pay, studs' to rent, girl problems
Plus an album due within nine days (What?)
Stress to the brain
Mumsy's goin' through so much pain
So, every time I get paid, money to Elaine (Haha)
One mornin', you'll open your eyes to a blacked-out range

[Verse 3: Dappy]
Gunshots (Uh), knife attacks
Seems like I'm livin' in a life of attacks (Huh)
Government bills (Bills), dodgy deals (Deals)
Leads to another life, crime on wheels
I'm so broke that it's no joke
Surrounded by addicts who be on coke
If I really wanted to, I make money off them (Straight)
Block in the mornin', in the booth by ten
I write them hits in my head
Don't need no time with paper and pen
I sell my demos in boxes of ten
Won't stop me unless you're a dirty bill

[Verse 4: Fazer]
It feels like yesterday (What?)
Fifteen hooded up thirteen years olds in Westie
Were the bester days (Haha), can you relate?
Young black boys from council estates
All rollin' around the ends, twenty man strong
Pour some Hennessy for every man gone (Brap)
I know I ain't sent no letters but still
Free Ash, free D, and for not much longer
[Pre-Chorus: Dappy, Fazer & Tulisa]
Ever since I was a youngin', I found it hard to find my way
That's why, I don't trust so I won't get let down

[Chorus: Tulisa & Dappy]
So look (Look) behind (Behind) my smile
I'm crying out and I'm left without a hand
T, no, you ain't, you can tell us anythin'
And we'll advise you in every way
One more thing, for those who don't know, we is family
We've known each other since we were babies

[Verse 5: Tulisa]
Oh, I went from not wantin' to live life no more (No more)
To appreciatin' every breath I take (I take)
If it wasn't for the music, I probably wouldn't be here
That's why I pray to God every day (Ooh)
Dreaming of them days where I could just fly away
I'm tryna stay strong, but as for today, I'm feelin' down

[Chorus: Tulisa]
So look (Look) behind (Behind) my smile
I'm crying out and I'm left without a hand (Ooh)
