Rescue me
Skepta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I been breaking it down for you, baby
Been running around, I can't see no love for me
Somebody rescue me

I'm the king of the town Mr crazy
Creating a sound, but still no love for me
Somebody rescue me
Just rescue me
Rescue me
Rescue me

Well I been breaking it down for you, baby
Been running around, I can't see no love for me
Somebody rescue me

I'm the king of the town Mr crazy
Creating a sound, but still no love for me
Somebody rescue me
Just rescue me
Rescue me
Rescue me

S.K.E.PTA
Before I start I just wanna say
Boy Better Know all day
I got bumble bee's tryin' to figure out how I got this buzz
All I want is a kiss and a hug but somebody told specsavers I still can't see no love

Days, month, years, blood, sweat, tears
I walk the street of London facing my fears
And every days like truth or dare
So spin that bottle
'Cause if it lands on me, I'ma stay true to my word
I don't want anymore respect than I deserve

Well I been breaking it down for you, baby
Been running around I can't see no love for me
Somebody rescue me

I'm the king of the town Mr crazy
Creating the sound, there's still no love for me
Somebody rescue me
Just rescue me
Rescue me
Rescue me

Well I been breaking it down for you, baby
Been running around I can't see no love for me
Somebody rescue me

I'm the king of the town Mr crazy
Creating the sound, there's still no love for me
Somebody rescue me
Just rescue me
