[00:00.77]Today I Cried - Professor Green
[00:44.19]I only went and f**king did it
[00:45.93]Used to be a dream but now I f**king live it
[00:49.23]Weren't even writing raps I was down
[00:51.35]And out about to f**king quit it
[00:53.40]Lucky for me that I f**king didn't
[00:55.56]See lily came along when I was at my lowest
[00:59.24]Selling wraps of coke not the raps I flow with
[01:02.29]I made it and I owe to a chat I had with her
[01:05.92]Who knows where I'd be if that chat hadn't occurred
[01:09.27]Back with the bag with the bag full of herbs init
[01:11.31]Instead I got her on a track and I murdered it
[01:13.87]My name started causing murmurs in the industry
[01:15.33]But none of these labels would work with it
[01:17.27]Until virgin did
[01:17.78]Put my first single out and we earned a hit
[01:20.19]That's why we never believe in darkness
[01:21.49]I know it must burn a bit
[01:23.40]Just did a show and everybody knew the words to it
[01:26.58]The day I risked everything
[01:27.48]For I couldn't have given anything more
[01:28.96]All these years have weighed heavy
[01:31.06]But this is something that
[01:33.15]Nothing could have readied me for
[01:35.10]What you think all my problems are remedied cos'
[01:37.99]I get an applause there not
[01:39.71]Today I cried
[01:42.23]And I don't know why
[01:45.72]But today I cried
[01:48.75]And I don't know why
[01:53.41]Today I cried
[01:56.18]And I don't know why
[01:59.90]But today I cried
[02:02.94]And I don't know why
[02:07.44]My single went in at 3
[02:08.99]My album went in at 2
[02:10.55]For a debut not to shabby
[02:11.79]If I have to I make do
[02:14.16]Finally some form of reward for the things
[02:17.29]I came through
[02:17.87]But it's different to the perfect picture people paint you
[02:21.49]On the way up you might be a person people take to
[02:24.69]Then you break through and the same people
[02:26.87]Who rated you hate to
[02:28.26]All of a sudden anything you do may do may make news
[02:31.70]And I'm sick to death of explaining was is and aint' true
[02:35.26]Spend a day in my shoes
[02:36.94]And maybe you would feel the same to
[02:39.07]Though I know I've got to make the most of it
[02:41.67]There will be no take 2
[02:43.09]And ungrateful I would hate to seem cos'
[02:45.13]I'm leaving my dream now
[02:46.71]But I don't sleep now
[02:47.79]And all the hours awake are making me senile
[02:50.24]Snap every time i'm seen out
[02:51.49]Even people I've been round my whole life are looking at me
[02:54.58]Like I'm a new me now
[02:55.98]They say I've changed but I just don't see how
[02:57.14]I've always lived my life taking corners that I can't see round
[02:59.32]Never knowing what it is I'm trying to seek out
[03:01.67]But I'm even beginning to question me now
[03:04.49]Today I cried
[03:07.54]And I don't know why
[03:10.82]But today I cried
[03:14.47]And I don't know why
[03:18.40]Today I cried
[03:21.77]And I don't know why
[03:25.31]But today I cried
[03:27.67]And I don't know why
[03:29.82]Don't know why I cry
[03:33.04]I know it must seem mad to you
[03:34.66]It's mad to me
[03:35.60]All I've done is what I've had to do
[03:37.93]Been who I've had to be
[03:39.82]But the path I've walked has been so gravely
[03:42.21]It's been a strain to remain humane
[03:43.87]Amongst all this inhumanity
[03:46.33]Thankfully I had nan who was a mum and dad to me
[03:49.75]You can choose your friends
[03:51.77]But you can't choose your family
[03:53.62]Temporary happiness for me has been a fallacy
[03:56.76]Stick your sympathy it means jack to me
[04:00.66]Sick of hearing how happy I should be
[04:03.23]I just don't know how to be
[04:05.00]I can no longer pretend
[04:06.74]No more making out to be
[04:08.55]Maybe all I needs a slap
[04:10.36]Someone to shake it out of me
[04:12.21]Help me to spell my irrational thoughts
[04:13.83]Think more rationally
[04:15.39]Sick of being in the state of vanity
[04:17.71]It's agony
[04:18.95]Am I torn or is it all some twisted form of vanity
[04:22.15]Can it be I'm really just obsessed with myself
[04:25.79]Obsessive compulsive depressed
[04:26.34]My pressures reflecting my health
[04:29.56]Taking care of my career but I'm neglecting myself
[04:32.89]Rejected therapy no I just won't except any help
[04:36.29]I pride myself on my honestly
[04:38.24]But in all honestly today I lied
[04:40.90]I was asked how I was and I said I was fine
[04:43.74]I'm not
[04:44.80]Today I cried
[04:46.78]And I don't know why
[04:50.53]But today I cried
[04:53.59]And I don't know why
[04:57.93]Today I cried
[05:01.00]And I don't know why
[05:04.78]But today I cried
[05:07.51]And I don't know why
[05:12.20]Today I cried
[05:15.25]And I don't know why
[05:18.98]But today I cried
[05:22.02]And I don't know why
[05:26.26]Today I cried
[05:29.70]And I don't know why
[05:33.46]But today I cried
[05:36.20]And I don't know why
