N-Dubz - Secrets lyrics

Dappy, turn my mic up mmm

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 (O oh)
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

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

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

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 hit's 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

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

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

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

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 (O oh)
Dreaming of them days where I
Could just fly away
I'm tryna stay strong, but as for today
I'm feelin' down

So look (Look) behind (Behind) my smile
I'm crying out and I'm left without a hand
(O oh)
