Essence (feat. Maverick Sabre, Ghetts & Tamer Hassan)

How could I forget you when all I know You're the essence of my soul How could I forget you when all I know You're the essence of my soul How could I for— You're locked behind these doors and you ain't got the keys again Never made it out this court of courts, no time for reasonin' Mother and sovereign, they locked up your son Took a prince from a queen again Been searching so deep within Until we both meet again Time we hit the button Still tryna make sense of what happened And when I was forgotten Just the thought of you is all I need You know when I'm in deep 'cause you're— You're the essence of my soul How could I forget you when all I know You're the essence of my soul How could I forget you when all I know You're the essence of my soul How could I forget you when all I know You're the essence of my soul How could I forget you when all I know Yesterday, I went church For the first time in about three or four years I woke up today with a brand new energy Save me, all I need is more prayer My studio's built on holy ground My booth's a confession box When I needed someone to hold me down Only you could connect the dots Just before my nan died I promised her I get baptised I told God I'd be back by forty I left church fifteen How could I put God on standby? Sitting in the back of the fed car Handcuffed, still said a prayer with my hands tied I was looking a bird Then I looked to my left and I saw two magpies You're the essence of my soul How could I forget you when all I know You're the essence of my soul How could I forget you when all I know You're the essence of my soul You're the essence of my soul You're the essence of my soul You're the essence of my soul Think about the words 'I am' Probably the two most powerfulest words in any language Anywhere, whatever language you speak The words 'I am' are the two most powerfulest words ever created And that meaning this You go to bed thinking 'I am a failure 'I am shit, I am depressed 'I am such a fucking wanker 'I am never gonna be like Steel Banglez 'I am never gonna be that successful' Then as good as god made little green apples, my baby You are fucking not gonna be that But if you go to bed, every night 'I am gonna wake up tomorrow 'And I'm gonna have a fucking good day' Or 'I am gonna wake up tomorrow 'And I'm not gonna have a drink' 'I am gonna wake up tomorrow And I'm not gonna take drugs' You keep drumming that into you and that's what you're gonna be And then when you wake up in the morning, fucking write it down 'Cause when you write it down, it goes in Good luck Sometimes we suffer from stress, anxiety, and mental health problems I do too Once, I told myself I'm done But my loved ones reminded me there's battles to be won Lotto Ash, I'm on my way
