One More (adult language)

One More Everyday people, pass me by I lie in the gutter Wonder when The world turned its back Spat in my eye Said, go on Skin up Just one line A little pill Puff on this pipe Jab at my arm And a Jack Daniels To wash it all down. And I fly. Away from my son Far from home I soar Feel free I am the bird I move mountains, Far from the estate The housing purgatory Little blocks that rob lives The crime, the noise No money, dead dreams Why stay No reason at all. Son in the big school now Old enough to stay Get a job Look after his ma Give what I didn’t While I fly And if ma complains It’s a black eye I love her But I want to fly And forget it all Drift through memories When I loved And was warm in her arms I miss those times I wish they were now No fucking dealer No sound of shedding tear Cause I fucked her last night When she said no. Where once we made love Under the stars I listened to my boy In the next room He punched the wall I wanted to stop But I couldn’t deny I’m a man, I have passion I only fly I long to stop To be for her Her dream Her Romeo But I can’t I have to fly And she’ll be there To catch my fall She loves me And I love her Tomorrow I’ll stop I’ll throw out my gear Get a job Hug my son Pick flowers for her And she’ll smile Forget my voice My fists My flights But not today I need one more Just one more flight One more.
