Professor Green, Emeli Sandé - Read All About It lyrics

I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream 'til the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers
I’m not afraid they can read all about it
Read all about it, oh

Nothing to hide, stifle or smother
Suffered and cried, strife made me tougher
Never mumbled or shy to trouble
I rise above all expectations forget rep
Ain’t never begged yet
When I wanted to get pence hustle
To be I am exactly what my neck says
That sket said I tried to cash
In on my Dad's death
I wanted to vent but I never said fuck all
After all you were never kin to me
Family is something that you never been to me
In fact making it harder for
Me to see my father
Was the only thing that you ever did for me

I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream 'til the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers
I’m not afraid they can read all about it
Read all about it, oh

(Dear Dad) as a kid I looked up to you
Only thing was I never saw enough of you
The last thing I said to you was I hated you
I loved you and now it's too
Late to say to you
Just didn't know what to do and
How to deal with it
Even now deep down I'm still livid
To think I used to blame me
I wonder what I did to you
To make you hate me i wasn't even 5
Life's a journey and mine wasn't an easy ride
You never even got to see me rhyme
I just wish you woulda reached out
I wish you would have been
Round when I been down
I wish that you could see me now
Wherever you are I really
Hope you found peace
But know that if I ever have kids
Unlike you I'll never let them be without me

I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream 'til the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers
I’m not afraid they can read all about it
Read all about it, oh

(I write songs I can't listen to
Everything I have to give to you
And everyone of these lines I sing to you)

My job's more like public service
My life just became yours
To read and interpret
If you heard it and come across
A lot different at times
I throw fit's when I read
How they word things you see me smile
Now you're gonna have to see me hurting
Cause pretending everything is all right
When it ain't, really isn't working

I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream 'til the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers
I’m not afraid they can read all about it
Read all about it, oh

I ain't censoring myself for nobody
I'm the only thing I can be
All that is good, all that
Is bad, all that is, me

I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream 'til the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers
I’m not afraid they can read all about it
Read all about it, oh
