More Lowkey. This is another extremely moving song, dealing with the pain of being let down by friends, and the dangers of falling into self-pity.

Lots of you have been requesting the lyrics. Thanks to those who have sent these to me. Below you will find the corrected version:

Lyrics...

This is dedicated to you, you know who you are.

Listen.. Yo..

I called you when I needed you most, I thought we would link

I told you the bad news, you haven't talked to me since

frankly, I don't want to talk to a shrink

I might look happy but I'm angry and I'm tortured within

you come back around now, with your hands out

I can see the guilt in your eyes, maybe you understand now

It isn't the fact that when I talk you didn't listen

Its that you said you'd call back in a minute but you didn't

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to beg friend

It just feels lifes my hit a dead end

I tried to turn around but now my back's against the wall

And the pain just wont stop I might have to end it all

I tell myself life is sacred, Its not right to waste it

I feel surrounded but at the same time isolated

At times my own day dreams scare me

I find myself hating anyone that may seem carefree

Id rather go out smiling than crying at home

Ive realized that my worst fear is dying alone

At times I lose my composure but that's not a surprise

I can't control the emotions I keep bottled inside

Don't pretend there's a friendship you and me share

When you hit rock bottom people are usually scared

I guess stupidly I expected you to be there

And when the shit hits the fan man, who really cares

Yea listen..

I was just sitting here feeling sorry for myself and helpless

Then I realized that I was just being selfish

Im a soldier, my self-centred brain is my helmet

but when reality hit me I felt sick

We run from our problems - there's many that are paralyzed

We take life for granted - these simply never had a life

We've heard it all before - some people are deaf

That tramp lives in a box while I sleep in my bed

Inside I'm a tortured man who hates living.

But there's people being tortured in Abu Graihb prison

Theres youths right now that are dying from Malaria

so we can have clean running water in our area

that shit there, has got me feeling ashamed

if you've been through it, tell me whats the meaning of pain

you went court, and they locked you away when you we're acting wild

there's people in Guantanamo Bay that never had a trial

weve seen a lot - there's some that were born blind

in some places hip hop cant be performed live

You whopped bare chicks, you think you a heavyweight?

In Africa 6000 people die from AIDS everyday

And the babies there get it from their mothers,

so think about that next time you fuck without a rubber

It hurts but no one said the truth would be fair

The worlds a messed up place man, but who really cares?

Lowkey going in deep into the current state of the world. It's sad though at the end of the day you realize that nobody really cares what happens to the planet. We don't even care for each other as we should as human beings. The world's really in a messed up state of affairs right now . This is a real shame things are going back to the way it was in the 1950's in America." Life is sacred don't waste it . " - Lowkey

When life is too controlled by emotion, prejudice and the past, it becomes a dark path of sorrow. There's beauty all around as funny as that may seem, but it comes from within, always from within ...

Only thing I disagree with here, there will never come a time, when everyone in the world is healthy, and no one dies from sickness. There will always be sickness, there will always be death. Right now, all those people are dying from preventable things, and the world is vastly overpopulated. If no one died, we'd seize to exist, as the planet wouldn't be able to sustain us.

If he ain't rapping from the heart I'm not a fan, which is why Lowkey is one of few rappers on my ipod. Big Ups to Lowkey

Yeah Akala is awesome too, and Logic. My favorite collab that Lowkey did with them was "Behind my painted smile" and "I Wish".

I found out that living in a monetary system and doing nothing for yourself when it comes to making your own food, clothing or housing makes you a completely dependent consumer because all your needs are met by the capitalist society. Therefore making individuals binding servants of the system because they are now required to have a piece of paper to purse a course of action. That you must have money. I
