[Intro: Tulisa]

Dappy, turn my mic up

Mmm

[Verse 1: Tulisa]

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 (Ooh)

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

[Chorus: Tulisa & Dappy]

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

[Verse 2: Fazer]

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

[Verse 3: Dappy]

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 hits 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

[Verse 4: Fazer]

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

[Pre-Chorus: Dappy, Fazer & Tulisa]

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

[Chorus: Tulisa & Dappy]

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

[Verse 5: Tulisa]

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 (Ooh)

Dreaming of them days where I could just fly away

I'm tryna stay strong, but as for today, I'm feelin' down

[Chorus: Tulisa]

So look (Look) behind (Behind) my smile

I'm crying out and I'm left without a hand (Ooh)
