"Mistakes & Lessons" lyrics

[K Koke:]
Mistakes and lessons, give thanks for my blessings
Pain is the essence, my pain is my reference
Mistakes and lessons, give thanks for my blessings
Pain is the essence, my pain is my reference
Mistakes and lessons

What goes around comes around, I believe in karma
What goes up comes down, back to where it started
I roll up and roll out 'cause I can't deal with drama
I mind my own cah man's grown plus a little smarter
Listen Father, if you hear my wishes, answer
'Cause I'm hearing living's harder and I hear they finna harm us
So I'm rolling with it, strolling with it, just me and my armour
If I hole him with it, load and spit it, I can't be no martyr
'Cause I'm a father with some kids to feed
They are the future, I ain't tryna be history
Ain't tryna live in between
I'm tryna live and learn, they're tryna take my dignity
Fucking with my victory

Mistakes and lessons, give thanks for my blessings
Pain is the essence, my pain is my reference
Mistakes and lessons, give thanks for my blessings
Pain is the essence, my pain is my reference

[Kemzi:]
I'm in love with this ting, sometimes I wanna put suttin different across
But Jesus Christ, I know what it's like to live on a cross
'Cause I'm from Hackney where you live with the opps
Me, I had to sit in the box, over my feelings
Died, I wasn't grieving, couldn't make sense of my meaning
Who are you to judge? I lost people I used to love
You don't know 'bout my ting, pops was here then he weren't
I was young and it was frightening, that's why I started riding
Wouldn't say it was the right ting but it felt good
But to a freezing man, maybe Hell would, these shells good
To my survival, fuck the rivals
I've beefed man I used to idol, ain't no waving on this tidal

[K Koke:]
Mistakes and lessons, give thanks for my blessings
Pain is the essence, my pain is my reference
Mistakes and lessons, give thanks for my blessings
Pain is the essence, my pain is my reference
Mistakes and lessons, give thanks for my blessings
Pain is the essence, my pain is my reference
Mistakes and lessons, give thanks for my blessings
Pain is the essence, my pain is my reference
Mistakes and lessons
