[Chorus: Mai Khalil]

I can feel you here, watchin' me

Whispers that I hear are haunting me

I can feel you here, watchin' me

Whispers that I hear are haunting me

Feel it in the air


[Verse 1: Lowkey]

My brother died when I was eighteen

Now I'm twenty-four and I keep having the same dream

My days seem to past fast, but now I hate sleep

So when they say, "Stay free", I really know what they mean

Just remember I was destined to fail

At every level they tell you the rebels will never prevail

Heaven or hell, whatever the weather, you never can tell

You know you've lost a loved one when you remember their smell

I was born to fight oppression, but I'm traumatized and stressin'

With this borderline depression I swear I'm haunted by your presence

You get all of my confessions, pray the Lord provides His blessing

And I soar as high as Heaven but it's sort of like I'm guessing

'Cause I'm older than you were when you died, I'm nervous inside

In the afterlife, are you the age you were when you died?

It's puzzling me, that would be something to see

Face-to-face with an older brother that's younger than me

I'm still haunted...


[Chorus: Mai Khalil]

I can feel you here, watchin' me

Whispers that I hear are haunting me

I can feel you here, watchin' me

Whispers that I hear are haunting me

Feel it in the air


[Verse 2: Lowkey]

When I was eighteen my older brother killed himself

Now I'm twenty-four and I'm sittin' in this flipping cell

No comment while they raid my home, I'm waitin' to be given bail

Wish me well, don't know where I'm headed, I hope it isn't jail

It's a strange feelin' when your face is on the news

And they try to twist your lyrics, claim it's hatred for the Jews

Everybody's waitin' to assume, debatin' all your views

When they would do the same if they were in your shoes

It's like barristers, court cases, solicitors, law suits

Prayin' for my freedom while I'm sittin' in the court room

I am just a simple man spittin' these ideas

But the CPS fantasize 'bout givin' me five years

Til the day they release my spirit and it's peaceful

Digest the words in every lyric that I leave you

A true leader knows, it's the citizens that leads you

When I go, just know, that I did it for the people


[Chorus: Mai Khalil]

I can feel you here, watchin' me

Whispers that I hear are haunting me

I can feel you here, watchin' me

Whispers that I hear are haunting me

Feel it in the air
