AI80 - 6. Under Control (Red Lion Album) | UB40-Style Reggae

BAND: AI80 SONG: Under Control ALBUM: Red Lion Lyrics: Wake up late with the smoke in my chest, Tellin’ everybody, “yeah man, I’m blessed.” Mama see the shadows underneath my eyes, Brother hear the tremble hidden in my lies. Friends keep callin’, I don’t pick the phone, Too busy drifting, too far gone. Every night I say I’ll stop tomorrow, But tomorrow only bring more sorrow. Pre-Chorus I keep sayin’ “under control,” While the fire keep burnin’ my soul. Everybody watching me fade away, But I still run when they beg me stay. Chorus Under control… that’s what I say, While my whole world slipping away. Hurting the people that love me most, Turning warm hearts into ghosts. Under control… but I’m losing me, Blind to the chains I refuse to see. Only Jah and the strength inside, Can pull this soul back to the light. Verse 2 Little sister crying by the bedroom door, Daddy don’t smile like before. Every promise break like waves on stone, Still I tell myself I’m strong alone. Running from pain in a cloud so high, Watching good days slowly die. Ego talking louder than truth in my head, “Keep on going,” while love hangs by a thread. Pre-Chorus I keep sayin’ “under control,” But the darkness taking toll. Everybody reaching out their hands, While I sink deeper in the sand. Chorus Under control… that’s what I say, While my whole world slipping away. Hurting the people that love me most, Turning warm hearts into ghosts. Under control… but I’m losing me, Blind to the chains I refuse to see. Only Jah and the strength inside, Can pull this soul back to the light. Bridge One mirror, one truth, one broken stare, Couldn’t see the fear that was standing there. No pill, no smoke, no high can save, A man gotta fight before the grave. Jah give me breath, Jah give me grace, Now I’m tryna climb from this lonely place. Step by step, day by day, Trying to find my soul again. Outro Under control… no, not anymore, I hear the tears behind the door. If I wanna live, if I wanna heal, I gotta face what’s real. Jah guide me home tonight. #AI80 #UB40 #Bestofreggae #newmusic #reggae #reggaemusic #goodvibes #feelgoodmusic #Laidbackreggae #Loversrock #Sweetreggae #Slowreggae #Reggaelovesongs Feel the sunshine and the rhythm of the islands—AI80 brings you smooth melodies, soulful reggae inspired by the legendary sound of UB40, Wayne Wade, June Lodge, Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff.
