Professor Green - Today I Cried lyrics

And then it happened
I only went and fucking did it
Used to be a dream but now I fucking live it
Weren't even writing raps I was down and
Out about to fucking quit it
Lucky for me that I fucking didn't
See lily came along when I was at my lowest
Selling wraps of coke not the
Raps I flow with
I made it and I owe to a chat I had with her
Who knows where I'd be if
That chat hadn't occurred back with the bag
With the bag full of herbs init
Instead I got her on a
Track and I murdered it
My name started causing murmurs
In the industry
But none of these labels would work
With it until Virgin did
Put my first single out and we earned a hit
That's why we never
I know it must burn a bit
Just did a show and everybody
Knew the words to it
The day I risked everything for I couldn't
Have given anything more all these years
But this is something that nothing
Could have readied me for
What you think all my problems are
Remedied cos' I get an applause, there not

Today I cried and I don’t know why
But today I cried and I don’t know why

My single went in at 3 my album went in at 2
For a debut not to shabby if
I have to I make do
Finally some form of reward for
The things I came through
But, it's different to the perfect
Picture people paint you
On the way up you might be
A person people take to
Then you break through and the same
People who rated you hate too
All of a sudden anything you do
May do may make news
And I'm sick to death of explaining
Wats is and ain't' true
Spend a day in my shoes and maybe
You would feel the same too
Though I know I've got to make the most
Of it there will be no take 2
And ungrateful I would hate to seem
Cos' I'm leaving my dream now
But, I don't sleep now
And all the hours awake are making me senile
Snapped every time I'm seen out
Even people I've been round my
Whole life are looking
At me like I'm a new me now
They say I've changed but I
Really don't see how
I've always lived my life taking corners
That I can't see round
Never knowing what it is I'm
Trying to seek out
But, I'm even beginning to question me now


I know it must seem mad to you
It's mad to me
All I've done is what I've had to do
Been who I've had to be
But the path I've walked has been so gravely
It's been a shame to remain
Humane amongst all this inhumanity
Thankfully, I had nan who was a
Mum and dad to me
You can choose your friends but
You can't choose your family
Temporary happiness for me has been a fallacy
It's so sad isn't it
Stick your sympathy it means jack to me
Sick of hearing how happy I should be
I just don't know how to be
I can no longer pretend
No more making out to be
Maybe all I needs a slap
Someone to shake it out of me
Help dispel my irrational thoughts
Think more rationally
Sick of being in the state of vanity
It's agony am I torn or is it all
Some twisted form of vanity?
Can it be I'm really just obsessed
With myself, obsessive compulsive depressed
By pressures reflecting my health?
Taking care of my career
But I'm neglecting myself
Rejected therapy? No
I just won't accept any help
I pride myself on my honesty but
In all honesty today I lied
I was asked how I was and I said I was fine
I'm not
