Read All About It - Professor Green, Emeli Sandé

I wanna sing, I wanna shout

I wanna scream 'til the words dry out

So put it in all of the papers

I'm not afraid

They can read all about it, read all about it

Nothing to hide

Stifle or smother

Suffered and cried

Strife made me tougher

Never mumbled or shy

To trouble, I rise

Above all

Expectations forget rep

Ain't never begged yet

When I wanted to get pence, hustle

To be, I'm exactly what my neck says

That sket said I tried to cash in on my dad's death

I wanted to vent but I never said fuck all

After all you were never kin to me

Family is something that you've never been to me

In fact making it harder

For me to see my father

Was the only thing that you ever did for me

I wanna sing, I wanna shout

I wanna scream 'til the words dry out

So put it in all of the papers

I'm not afraid

They can read all about it, read all about it

Dear dad

As a kid I looked up to you

Only thing was I never saw enough of you

The last thing I said to you was I hated you

I loved you and now it's too late to say to you

Just didn't know what to do or how to deal with it

Even now deep down I'm still livid

To think, I used to blame me

I wonder what I did to you to make you hate me

I wasn't even five

Life's a journey and mine wasn't an easy ride

You never even got to see me rhyme

I just wish you would've reached out

I wish you would've been round when I'd been down

I wish that you could see me now

Wherever you are I really hope you found peace

But know that if I ever have kids

Unlike you I'll never let them be without me

I wanna sing, I wanna shout

I wanna scream 'til the words dry out

So put it in all of the papers

I'm not afraid

They can read all about it, read all about it

I write songs I can't listen to

Everything I have, I give to you

And every one of these lines I sing to you

My job's more like public service

My life just became yours to read and interpret

If you heard it it'd come across a lot different at times

I throw fits when I read how they word things

You see me smile

Now you're gonna have to see me hurtin'

'Cause pretending everything is alright

When it ain't really isn't working

I wanna sing, I wanna shout

I wanna scream 'til the words dry out

So put it in all of the papers

I'm not afraid

They can read all about it, read all about it

I ain't censoring myself for nobody

I'm the only thing I can be

All that is good, all that is bad, all that is me

I wanna sing, I wanna shout

I wanna scream 'til the words dry out

So put it in all of the papers

I'm not afraid

They can read all about it, read all about it
