Superhero 04:37
I was about 2 years old When I first fell in love With the sound of the beat Mumma would play soulful songs While cleaning up the house And cooking us food to eat Anita Baker with her deep jazzy tone I remember the Rapture album being on repeat Marvin Gaye singing What's Going On That was the soundtrack of my youth From SE15 Loder Street Ya see daddy was gone She taught us right from wrong And what true love means When I would cry from his wrongs She’d say baby be strong Protected my heart for me Mumma is a hero From the heavens of the cosmos Mumma is a superhero No one can compete My number one hero to me See I was about 10 years old When I used to ride the public bus alone to school Cos Mumma held down a full time job While at the same time studying at college too She was my first role model Showed me through dedication & Hard work what you can do She overcame all of her obstacles Whatever got in her way she would Fight her way through Single parent 3 kids Raised from out the pits Made sure we never went hungry Daddy was a no show Mumma played both roles Gave us shelter, clothes and food to eat Mumma is a hero From the heavens of the cosmos Mumma is a superhero No one can compete My number one hero to me

Roaming around all that I knew Just ain’t the same to me Same old town but it’s changed From how it used to be Six years passed since that day That I packed my bags This place has got a brand new beat Feels like I’m treading on an unfamiliar ground But I still recognize the colour and the sound And though it seems you didn’t want me anymore I’m the one who knows how to unlock your door Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo Here in London city Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo Rockin’ London city Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo Where the streets are gritty Here in London city I made it out searching about Looking for pastures green Hoping to flee these cobbled streets They took it out of me Breaking down my soul When I’m just trying to hold on I finally found a brand new peace Feels like I’m treading on an unfamiliar ground But still I recognize the colour and the sound Now I come back to you stronger than before I’m the one who knows how to unlock your door Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo oooo Here in London city Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo Rockin’ London city Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo Where the streets are gritty Here in London city

I never thought that I would write this song I've been around for way too long I'm thinking that I may have missed my chance Mmmm hmmm Mmmm hmmm I spilled my heart out on the floor Watch me bleed yes I’m insecure I still hear your voice echo through these walls Mmmm hmmm Mmmm hmmm Until this day I’ve always kept these feelings to myself Tripping off the power that you’ve held But as hard as I try I can’t escape Until this day This regret is eating me away Holding onto the things I should of said But as hard as I try you can’t be replaced Maybe I don’t have much to say I’ve lived a good life anyway But even so it’s never easy That’s why I write these songs Until this day I’ve always kept these feelings to myself Tripping off the power that you’ve held But as hard as I try I can’t escape Until this day This regret is eating me away Holding onto the things I should of said But as hard as I try you can’t be replaced Shoulda said I loved ya Wish I could of said it Showed you I cared but I Didn’t get a chance to While I still had you Now that you’re gone No longer here I should of done a lot things While I had you next to me Hmmmm Until this day Been walking around with Secrets in my head All those precious words I should of shared But as hard as I cry you can’t be replaced

Can’t let go and I don't know where we're going But all I know is I’m sticking for the ride Help me lord cos I’m drowning in my worries But I know it’ll be alright I pray I see where this journey takes me Keep on breathing We could be all that we want Or we could want more than enough Not everything that we desire will do us right Hope to see another day don't wish your life all away Take ya time take it slow and we'll make it home One day we'll make it home Deep down I know I know this ends in glory So I stayed the line and I’m keeping up the fight All my fear and the weight I had to carry I’m nearly home I can see the morning light I pray I reach where this journey takes me Keep on breathing make it there alive Will my spirit keep me up on my feet Hold on keep on make it home alive Ohh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Ohh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Ohh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Ohh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh We could be all that we want Or we could want more than enough Not everything that we desire will do us right Hope to see another day don't wish your life all away Take ya time take it slow and we'll make it home One day we'll make it home Can’t let go and I don't know where we're going But all I know is I’m sticking for the ride Help me lord cos I’m drowning in my worries But I know it’ll be alright

Distant memories In the back of my head Insecurities Won’t let me rest Maybe I’ll apologize Forgive myself Stop holding onto everything And bid it farewell Only you can soften my calloused heart Only you can give me the strength to restart It’s clear now in hindsight And that’s what they say I never thought I’d ever find love again Been in my own way Maybe I’ll apologize Forgive myself Stop holding onto everything And bid it farewell Only you can soften my calloused heart Only you can give me the strength to restart Precious time Lost so much Dwelling on the past You calm my mind With your love Only you can soften my calloused heart Only you can give me the strength to restart

This road stretches to horizons I been driving it for days Staring out of weary eyes Through the dusty haze Longing for the time That I can give up these rootless ways yeah If I were ever to lose your love My life would be out of phase I’d rather be dead than be alone To hear your voice softly down the phone And have your love there for me at home Can’t live without you Gotta shout about you So Imma lay it all on the line I want to be with you for all time A heavenly love that’s so divine Can’t live without you Gotta shout about you I believe in second chances And from you I will not stray And if I were to mess this up I couldn’t live another day This love that I’m laying down Comes with solidarity I wanna be that better man That I promised you I’d be I’d rather be dead than be alone To hear your voice softly down the phone And have your love there for me at home Can’t live without you Gotta shout about you So Imma lay it all on the line I want to be with you for all time A heavenly love that’s so divine Can’t live without you Gotta shout about you Life is meant to be shared With the one you truly love Leave our troubles far behind And let our hearts follow the sun Life is meant to be shared With the one you truly love ooooh ooh oh I’d rather be dead than be alone To hear your voice softly down the phone And have your love there for me at home Can’t live without you Gotta shout about you So Imma lay it all on the line I want to be with you for all time A heavenly love that’s so divine Can’t live without you Gotta shout about you
