Paradise, call out my name,
I've been crawling round your cage,
Watch me as I escape,
As I escape.

Whispers of silence, whispers of rage,
I'm burnt in the fire, I wasn't built to obey.

Do you hear me? Do you hear me?
Fall right down,
Fall back down,
Colors in the night swirl my vision around,
You're my victim better watch your mouth.

Fall right down.

Do you hear now? Do you hear now? Do you hear now? Do you hear now?

A brick phone with snake on it,
Cheap chipped up skateboard with tape on it,
Every shoe either had a swoosh or bape on it,
Before I knew about love or had a take on it,
Wasn’t life so sweet,
Wanna take a walk down my old street,
Or south London hop the tube at Old Street,
Wasn’t everything simpler back then,
Before life suddenly happened… man,
Can you take me back,
I want to go back,
Can you take me back,
I want to go back,
Can you take me back,
I want to go back,
Can you take me back,
I wanna go back,
Fresh whites, NBA throwback,
Walking to school a book in my hand no bag,
Pure bliss just happy to exist I mean,
Life’s tough back then I didn’t know that,
We’d hit the park,
Till after dark,
Run when the dogs bark as the street light spark,
Neighborhood had us feeling like Lewis and Clark,
Whole world in our hands pureness in our heart,
I mean,
Can you take me back,
I want to go back,
Can you take me back,
I want to go back,
Can you take me back,
I want to go back,
Can you take me back I want to go back,
I didn’t mean to grow up so fast,
Why is it so hard to make the good times last,
Tryna focus on the present and remember the past,
But I wanna go back to the times we had,
When it was easier,
Lessiur,
Not hooked on media,
Breeze flowing easing going I still believe in the,
Old school vibe it lives in my heart,
I want to go back to the start,
Can you take me back,
I want to go back,
Can you take me back,
I want to go back,
Can you take me back,
I want to go back,
Can you take me back,
I want to go back.

Losing never the deal,

Wait up tell them go get they weight up,
Betting on me to fail go tell my haters to pay up,
