Don't Leave Me
Mic Righteous Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[INTRO]
Yea, ain't nobody gonna take this away from me.
This is all I've got, This is my life.
All I got is my b***s and my bars.
Nobody's taking this...

[CHORUS]
I don't wanna loose the passion,
The will the drive the fire that keeps me rapping.
I don't wanna lose my brethren cos through the thick and thin
They supported me till the very end.
And I don't wanna loose this dream I have.
The anger and ambition I'm on a mission to be the dan.
Coz if I haven't got this gift I was given Lord.
Tell me why the f**k am I living for?

[VERSE 1]
It's yob culture yo lets rise up.
They can take our lives, but not our pride blood.
We are soldiers by the roadside
Life's f****d up were on the grind
We are riders we cry blood.
Judge us on what we do, not what we look like.
Picture me in an open casket, kiss me goodnight.
I just wanna live the good life I should shine
And if you wanna take away what's mine get on your push-bike.
This is everything I live for I breathe rap,
I got so much to give Lord give me some feedback.
I've lost all hope but now I'm starting to believe again.
What worries me? Am I too late?
I don't wanna lead the rest of my life with nothing,
My times coming
Why the f**k am I still here
We struggle but don't feel fear.
But we are human we cry real tears.
And if you wanna take away what's ours you will hear...

[CHORUS]
I don't wanna loose the passion,
The will the drive the fire that keeps me rapping.
I don't wanna lose my brethren cos through the thick and thin
They supported me till the very end.
And I don't wanna loose this dream I have.
The anger and ambition I'm on a mission to be the dan.
Coz if I haven't got this gift I was given Lord.
Tell me why the f**k am I living for?

[VERSE 2]
Lord I can't afford to lose this gift I have.
I wanna support my bretherins I gotta give them back,
What they gave to me believe so I can make this dream reality.
There's still a part of me that you haven't seen.
A man in me, Imagine if I blew up with this rapping dream.
Yea I bet that when my family come running back to me.
But when I didn't have a thing who got me out the gutter?
My bretherins I'm never giving up on us my brother.
Don't take away my hunger my will to rap.
I possess the skill to kill the track until the D.J reels it back.
If another rapper tries to compete he can feel my wrath.
I can't imagine living without rap. How could I deal with that?
I'm just a brother with a message and something to prove.
I got allot to give and nothing to lose.
I just want the things I never had.
Blood I've been to hell and back.
And if you wanna take away what's mine here's what I tell you fam.

[CHORUS]
I don't wanna loose the passion,
The will the drive the fire that keeps me rapping.
I don't wanna lose my brethren cos through the thick and thin
They supported me till the very end.
And I don't wanna loose this dream I have.
The anger and ambition I'm on a mission to be the dan.
Coz if I haven't got this gift I was given Lord.
Tell me why the f**k am I living for?

[VERSE 3]
I feel like I've lost half the passion.
From when I started rapping.
What happened to the love?
Back when rap was all that mattered.
I can't lose the inner spark because every artist has it.
But it ain't hard to lose it.
That's why I can't be stupid.
But I know I got the heart to do this Peoples Army's moving.
This is all I got.
And I ain't gonna stop until it's me that calls the shots.
And when I make it to the top f**k falling off.
I'll prove all you wrong.




Coz only God can take away this gift he blessed me with.
And Mic Righteous said it so don't you get it twisted.
