A Letter 2 Titch

[Intro]
Yo

Blud, listen
So really
I don't even know what to say to you, blud
Serious

Just real talk init
Like
Just said, lemme just write this letter init
And say suttin' init
Yo

[Chorus]
Only if I coulda rewind time
Only if I coulda changed back then
Only if I was an angel that flies
I were gonna take you outta the pen
Only if I could just make things right
Only if I could take back that night
Only if I woulda known what the future were holding
Maybe we coulda been different

[Verse 1]
Yo, what up Titch?
It's been a minute, we ain't spoke, what up kid?
I know you're holding it up, heard you got big
It feels kinda mad, see me in and out
I'm still shocked that you got a bid
There's been times where I can't sleep at night
Shit got me feeling like I'm still locked in
Thinking they was always gonna send man down
Even though they knew none of us shot him
My head can't clear the visions of that day
When we was waiting for the verdict
And they called your name first, and the jury said guilty
On the charges of murder, I prayed then I felt deep down inside
That God wasn't gonna let 'em kill me
And it was like I had a shield by the wings of an angel
And they said "Mahorn not guilty"
In my soul I was mixed with emotions
Crying unhappy tears full of joy
Happy I was going home to my little girl
Sad, because you aren't gonna grow with your little boy
And I told you I'll look over you, soldier
That was my word from Dwayne not Durrty
And the most horrifying day ina my life walkin' out the court knowing you just got a 30
Yeah I've been thinking back to when we were youts
We used to stay around grans at Aylestone
Every night I used to watch you get such a beating
With a metal belt buckle in the elbow
Then one morning when I woke up, you was gone
And I just wanted to play Nintendo
But then I had to go wake up my gran
And said Carls done a runner, he's jumped out the window
And she started switching on me
Since then times days I knew you didn't give a shit
But then we split for years
And I just knew I had a brother called Carl
I didn't know you had a name, Titch
And then 10 years went by
I knew that you was dark skin
But I forgotten what you looked like
Until a cool school rave
Where they had an MC competition, we was both on stage
And we didn't even know each others face
You came second, and I took first place
When it was done
Kim came up to us and showed us that we was brothers
It was deep that day
Believe God made us meet that day
In the way that we met that day
And I'm glad that I met you that time
Only if I could just rewind time

[Verse 2]
So how you doing bro?
Anyway, how you keeping up? I hear you're Muslim now
What, do you still see Ant, Clubs, Mafia, Raffael and Bilal?
Ashley, Range or Emy? Rider, Crave or Hay?
What about Little Lindzey? Tell me yeah you're Nathan
I'm just thinking 'bout when we was in a cell talking
And you was saying you was mad at Ross
'Cause he hasn't even writ you
Well I guess he just weren't your real friend like Josh
You see they come and go, bro
You know how the ends be
You're either friends or foe
I ain't even hollared at Benji
I'm tryna put my sis together
I been out here, puzzling with the shits that you torn apart
Cah you're my brother from a different mother
We was taking over like Napoleon, but born apart
And after we spoke even you said
"Dwayne you have more faith than me bruv"
Because you saw from the day that we entered the jail
I was keeping my faith in Jesus
Every night I was reading my bible
When you was smoking your weed on your mobile
In the bil you've been listening to certain man
Because I weren't moving bait on your style
In the morning when you was cracking joke in the yard
I was meditating, reading the psalms
Do me a favour and just follow your heart
And don't follow nobody now that you follow Islam
I try keep in contact with your mums
Sending little dough over to Josie
Tyrone's walking now
He's probably gonna be a baller wow
I'm gonna buy him a Man-U shirt
And put your name on it with a name on it number 3
See it's a next generation right here
Ain't nobody out 'ere forgetting about T
And remember that tune that we done?
The outcome's banging, I'ma put it on my album
Out here all the magazines diss you
All the rumours, I wish they will 'low them
Even though they try to tell me that I can't say your name
On the radio, I say it anyway
And they don't play your tunes or your videos no more, blud
They tryna rub out your name
But you're a religion in the scene, so we miss you
Stratford and Plaistow still miss you
Your friends and your fam we miss you
Only if I coulda rewind time
Cah we can see that the scene does miss you
Stratford and Plaistow miss you
The kids in the hood, they miss you
If only it coulda been different

[Chorus]
Only if I coulda rewind time
Only if I coulda changed back then
Only if I was an angel that flies
I were gonna take you outta the pen
Only if I could just make things right
Only if I could take back that night
Only if I woulda known what the future were holding
Maybe we coulda been best friends
Only if I coulda rewind time
Only if I coulda changed back then
Only if I was an angel that flies
I were gonna take you outta the pen
Only if I could just make things right
Only if I could take back that night
Only if I woulda known what the future were holding
Maybe it coulda been different
