  • Ay, oh, I am, ay, oh, I

    Grey hoodies, they cover their heads
    I can't see their faces
    I can't see, see, see, see, see
    They knew me
    Look, sweat on my head
    My heart's thumpin', drummin'
    No need, no need to take from me
    Don't throw the paint on me
    I see this lake formin'
    I got lost astray
    In this forest runnin' away
    I slip up, I'm on the edge now
    They see me, and I nearly
    I nearly lose my grip, but you held on to me
    And you shake me, and tell me that I'm okay, but

    I swear they smell the blood on me
    I hear them coming for me
    I swear they smell the blood on me
    I hear them coming for me, for me

    I wake up and the sky's blood red
    I'm still heavy breathin'
    Felt so much more than dreamin'
    I get up, they're at the edge of my bed
    Yeah, how did they find me, find me?
    They said there's somethin' bleedin' in me
    Somethin' screamin' in me
    Somethin' buried deep beneath
    Well I need to, need to get away
    So I get it, steal this get-away
    And I accelerate, and I accelerate
    But my gears got stuck
    I'm on this road now
    I'm so alone now, swervin' out of control now
    And I crash the whip
    And this tree flew through me
    Arms out, you pull me
    And wipe my wounds clean

    I swear they smell the blood on me
    I hear them coming for me
    I swear they smell the blood on me
    I hear them coming for me, for me

    Ay, oh, I am, ay, oh, I am

    I swear they smell the blood on me
    I hear them coming for me
    I swear they smell the blood on me
    I hear them coming for me, for me, yeah Writer/s: Sampha Sisay
