My Story Songtext

von Krept & Konan

This is my story
This is my story

Came from radio, it was late
Left the car, went straight to my gate
Head straight
Didn't even look left
Got my key out, started hearing footsteps
Right over my shoulder
Had to act fast, I can hear them getting closer
Tryna' keep calm and put my key into the door
Thinking to myself if I don't make it then it's over
I don't know how I managed it
Ran into my mum's room panicking
Mum shouting at me "Karl what's happening?"
Carl shouting at me "Karl what's happening?"
How the hell did I get in this?
Tryna' hold the door but it's coming off the hinges
Somebody wake me from this dream now
Then I hear a gunshot and my mum scream out
Somebody come and save the day
Somebody take this pain away
How can I ask God for help now, when I ain't even prayed today?
Is this how my life ends? (Nowhere to run, no place to hide in)
Carl ran out of the room tryna' fight them
Two more gun shots, everything's silent
Mum ran downstairs, she's crying
And I can't move a muscle but I'm trying
Praying for an ambulance but I can't hear a siren
She said he's shot I hope she's lying
I hear her shouting out for help, I think he's dying
I'm thinking why him? Was it wrong place, wrong timing?
I see him at the bottom of the stairs
Mum shaking while the neighbours tryna' save him, heart racing, wishing I could disappear
And it shoulda been me but it's him lying there
And I know it isn't fair
I phone Skanks, phone Shook, my whole body's in shock, I couldn't even shed a tear
Trapped in this nightmare, how did I get here?

This is my story
All the pain, all the things, falling on me
All the blood, sweat and tears but don't worry
Flashing lights, seen my life flash before me
This is my story
This is my story

Woke up to a ping on my blackberry
It was a message from Kone saying "somebody tried to kill me and got my family"
I rubbed my eyes, is this a dream or reality?
Kone said "Krept who the fuck was this mad at me?"
God, how we gon' solve this catastrophe?
Then God gave us 'Otis' it was a blessing from him
Cos it stopped us from going getting reckless on him
Thinking to quit music
Thinking to go and do something stupid
Then things fell in place and started improving
That's why I say the music chose us, we didn't choose it
Bearing in mind Kone started from scratch
Feds took his house, money, clothes, he never had jack
Then I got a call from Vash
He told us the plan so we got up in the lab
Then things started to pick up even more
Skepta hollered at me, said that we should come on tour
Skepta don't even realise what he did for us
Well if you're listening, thank you for help fixing us
From the tour, all these shows start coming in
Back on our feet now the money started flooding in
Invested in clothes and money started doubling
Now so much for struggling
Watching Kones getting back up on his feet
Thinking "how's he coping", I couldn't if it was me
Now Play Dirty's on the up fucking up the streets
Everyday a new city that we reach
But even though we turned around a mess
I'm sitting in my yard thinking that I could be next
Thinking "did I give anyone his address?"
That shit that happened to Kone still playing in my head
Thinking 'bout he day it happened, when I saw his mum
And she told me "please look after my son"
Not a single tear on her face showing
Even though I know her heart's broken
Staying strong even though we're stressing
Cos she lost her husband and that being the second
That's why the music is a must to us
Kone he's going to make it up to her

This is my story
All the pain, all the things, falling on me
All the blood, sweat and tears but don't worry
Flashing lights, seen my life flash before me
This is my story
This is my story
All the pain, all the things, falling on me
All the blood, sweat and tears but don't worry
Flashing lights, seen my life flash before me
This is my story
This is my story
