Benny Banks Let Me Be (feat. Elli Ingram)
(Hook)
If it means that I've got to start the fire
I will
Burn my bridges to ash
Let it light up my path
If it means that I can forget the pain
I feel
I'll let go of my past now theres no turning back
I will
Verse 1 (Benny Banks)
Looking back a few years when I was on my face
I had to move back to my mothers cos I lost my place
And I wanted by the jakes but her address was bait
So I started sofa surfing at my cousin blakes
My baby mother stressing, she try to cause me trouble
She left my mind puzzled, so I hit the bottle
Never been the type of man to tell someone I need a cuddle
Trapped up in this shell I just want someone to burst my bubble
Trying to feed my kid but I hardly eat myself
I couldn't be myself man I always feeling dwell
I don't are if they don't feel me I don't feel myself
Back then, I wished I was dead and I mean for real
I left this feeling in my stomach had me feeling ill, cos my reflection in this mirror was of somebody else
Something that very second I had to change myself
Lost faith but found pride not to degrade myself
(Hook)
Let me be Let me be Let me be
Let me be Let me be I will

Verse 2 (Benny Banks)
Look a new beginning with a feeling that there's something missing
My bruddas up in prison we communicate through letters
I just tell him that I got him and to keep his head up
They can't stop us so they had to get us
Expect the worse but always aim for better
Paper planes just to ease the pressure
You hear the pain up in my acapela
My raps are natural I ain't acting clever
Made a law forgive me for the life I've lived, I still ain't been confession to relieve my sins, wondering if love exists
Hates the only thing they give, my life's harder than a father tryna feed his kid
Now its peak cos I'm a father tryna feed my kid and I don't want my kid to ever have to live this life I've lived
Absorbing all my cries within I think its time to think
Half way through my twenties just about to see my life begin
(Hook)
Let me be Let me be Let me be
Let me be Let me be I will
(x2)
Now I'm getting caught up with my alto-ego
Found out what I seek now I seek now I'm a start a sequel
I hardly socialize with any people
Cos most the people I came across became deceitful
Tryna make my 15 minutes last a half an hour
Paranoid I'm tryna turn my money turn to power
And let that power turn my half an hour to an hour
All this money now my mummy say she finally proud of
(Hook)
