Innocent Smile Lyrics By Skepta
See you start looking at me like that
It's like I don't even know
I just fucking met you, like
Who the fuck are you
Telling me how to behave in my life?
It's like, take a look at yourself
Just for once
Do you see yourself?
Look in the mirror
Don't really know
How this could happen
I don't really know
How this could happen
Don't really know
What's the story, morning glory?
More fake news tryna mind control me
Got me twisted
You don't know me, I'm a dark horse
Not a one-trick pony
You're living in the bits
Like a prison and shit
Had to move to the sticks, the neighbours too nosy
Black leather boots
Better grab a stoney
'Cause there's a war going on outside
Don't get cosy
Persistence
Resilience
From Nigeria to Meridian
Mum, did you see what I done?
I turned my benefits into some millions
Ever since school taught me about slavery I've been focused on brilliance
MPs lie, they treat us like idiots
How you turn around and blame it on the immigrants?
Don't really know
How this could happen
I don't really know
How this could happen
Don't really know
Don't ask what happen to my innocent smile
The way that we're living is wild
Ain't no love for an immigrant child
The writing's on the wall
Has anyone else noticed?
Was it Brexit?
Was it COVID?
They point fingers
I feel hopeless
Inhale, exhale
Keep the focus
Persistence
Resilience
From Nigeria to Meridian
Mum, did you see what I done?
I turned my benefits into some millions
You came London for a better life
And it's nothing but greatness we been givin' 'em
Now they say Adenuga's the UK Black Royal Family
Wha gwaan, William?
Don't really know
How this could happen
I don't really know
How this could happen
Don't really know
Don't really know
How this could happen
I don't really know
How this could happen
Don't really know
