Sonya (feat. Emeli Sande)

歌詞

This girl here got a sponsor Sixty-year-old monster She don't care 'bout no age though Just whose money's longer We both went John Loughborough I got kicked out for conduct Jail by fifteen Who'd you think writ me? First letter from Mum, second from Sonya "Dear Justin, I ain't gonna judge you, you already been sentenced Send me a VO, I'll come through, I got plenty of questions" I wrote back immediately Wished her good luck with her GCSEs She looked up to me previously, I knows I'm good company, seriously Years go by, contact's lost You don't know what that was I know ballers who could've been ballers Who got caught up and the contracts off I know Sonya could've been a model Word on the road is Sonya's washed But that's my girl, my friend, my bredrin She showed me what a real friend is Before you judge me Try and walk a day in my shoes See what you don't see Is all the shit I been going through It's been a long, long day Of battling these blues So before you judge me Try and walk a day Try and walk a day in my shoes Try and walk a day Try and walk a day in my blues All these years, no sight of her I even been to the last address When i was locked up 16, writing her Knock, knock who's home? Must be the wrong door Nobody I know Akward moment I've lost all composure Why didn't you tell me you left? Why didn't you say where you went? Last I heard you was overqualified but can't find work Had a friend in Dubai who invited you over And now you're like her Last I heard You don't even check for your parents You just wake and check your appearance I don't know if me checking for you is checking to you Or just interference, but dear Sonya, I ain't gonna judge you Won't see me in no jury, so any verdict I come to Still gunna end with yours truly I just wish the world didn't corrupt you It's been so long i don't know if you know me or knew me Before you judge me Try and walk a day in my shoes See what you don't see Is all the shit I been going through It's been a long, long day Of battling these blues So before you judge me Try and walk a day Try and walk a day in my shoes This is where you just wanna disappear Never told your nigga where Now I think you didn't care This is where you just wanna disappear Never told your nigga where Now I think you didn't care So great to hear from you I see you've been doing good Always knew way back from school You were destined for greatness I held a flame for you Now you're setting fire to booths Swear I've watched them all a hundred times That shit was amazing Tell me how kiss and chase And show and tell Turns into me addressing your letters to a prison cell? Life has its hazards Way more snakes than ladders I miss our innocence I miss when life made way more sense I'm sure you've heard some things (I'm sure you've heard some things) Before you judge me Try and walk a day in my shoes See what you don't see Is all the shit I been going through It's been a long, long day Of battling these blues So before you judge me Try and walk a day Try and walk a day in my shoes
