Essence (feat. Maverick Sabre, Ghetts & Tamer Hassan)

How could I forget you when all I know
You're the essence of my soul
How could I forget you when all I know
You're the essence of my soul
How could I for—

You're locked behind these doors and you ain't got the keys again
Never made it out this court of courts, no time for reasonin'
Mother and sovereign, they locked up your son
Took a prince from a queen again
Been searching so deep within
Until we both meet again

Time we hit the button
Still tryna make sense of what happened
And when I was forgotten
Just the thought of you is all I need
You know when I'm in deep 'cause you're—

You're the essence of my soul
How could I forget you when all I know
You're the essence of my soul
How could I forget you when all I know

You're the essence of my soul
How could I forget you when all I know
You're the essence of my soul
How could I forget you when all I know

Yesterday, I went church
For the first time in about three or four years
I woke up today with a brand new energy
Save me, all I need is more prayer
My studio's built on holy ground
My booth's a confession box
When I needed someone to hold me down
Only you could connect the dots

Just before my nan died
I promised her I get baptised
I told God I'd be back by forty
I left church fifteen
How could I put God on standby?
Sitting in the back of the fed car
Handcuffed, still said a prayer with my hands tied
I was looking a bird
Then I looked to my left and I saw two magpies

You're the essence of my soul
How could I forget you when all I know
You're the essence of my soul
How could I forget you when all I know

You're the essence of my soul
You're the essence of my soul
You're the essence of my soul
You're the essence of my soul

Think about the words 'I am'
Probably the two most powerfulest words in any language
Anywhere, whatever language you speak
The words 'I am' are the two most powerfulest words ever created
And that meaning this

You go to bed thinking 'I am a failure
'I am shit, I am depressed
'I am such a fucking wanker
'I am never gonna be like Steel Banglez
'I am never gonna be that successful'
Then as good as god made little green apples, my baby
You are fucking not gonna be that

But if you go to bed, every night
'I am gonna wake up tomorrow
'And I'm gonna have a fucking good day'
Or 'I am gonna wake up tomorrow
'And I'm not gonna have a drink'
'I am gonna wake up tomorrow
And I'm not gonna take drugs'
You keep drumming that into you and that's what you're gonna be
And then when you wake up in the morning, fucking write it down
'Cause when you write it down, it goes in
Good luck

Sometimes we suffer from stress, anxiety, and mental health problems
I do too
Once, I told myself I'm done
But my loved ones reminded me there's battles to be won
Lotto Ash, I'm on my way
