Guidance - Izzie Gibbs

Silence

For everyone we lost to the violence

Can’t lie I’m tired

Of all the crying and sirens

Yeah, we just need guidance

We just need guidance

We just need guidance

We just need guidance

They said I wouldn’t be shit

Now I’m legit

Yeah, still could turn a house to some zips

Bouncers and bricks

Council housing in piss

I should’ve know when I was low I couldn’t shout you for shit

So why was I surprised when I found out you was counterfeit

Fuck it, I’ve gotta get it

No lies when I tell him

My bro in jail, he a menace

I’m tryna give us some leverage

Every time we speak on the phone or I send him a message

If I love you I’m in it 'cause I said it

Mum needs money I’ll send it

Girl your man ain’t no boss, he a send-out

He just tell them stories just to get clout

Fuck the feds, free bro out the fed house

I can’t wait until he get out

He’s a… one…sell out

Ay, he’s a real one not a sell out

My brother chopping down a brick

The other cutting down the tree

I’m showing them there’s a way out of this

I swear so I break down for this

Just to get out all rich

Now they wanna see me breakdown and quit

Yeah, now they wanna see me breakdown and quit

Silence

For everyone we lost to the violence

Can’t lie I’m tired

Of all the crying and sirens

Yeah, we just need guidance

We just need guidance

We just need guidance

We just need guidance

No stressing

Turn my L’s to leverage

Now it’s only greatness where I’m heading

Gotta go and get it now they saying that I’m selfish

When I was down on my face, I saw no one helping

It was me and taking trips to get this bread in

If shit fails straight from Essex

Fuck the trap, it can only get me down if I let it

If I said I love you then forget it

Only deal with family, look I don’t deal with friendship

But if I say that I love you then it’s coming from the heart

Yeah, niggas say that they love me but they’re switching up at any given chance

I can’t lie, it was hard

Didn’t see them in the dark

Wish I could take time back and push restart

Silence

For everyone we lost to the violence

Can’t lie I’m tired

Of all the crying and sirens

Yeah, we just need guidance

We just need guidance

We just need guidance

We just need guidance
