Bridge: (rap section)
When you woke up this morning everything was gone,
By half past ten your head was going ding-dong
Ringing like some bell from your head down to your toes,
Like some voice trying to tell you there's something you should know
Last night you was flying but today you're so low
Times like these makes you wonder if you'll ever know
Meaning of things as they appear to the others
Wives, husbands, fathers, sisters and brothers
Don't you wish you didn't function, wish you didn't think
Beyond the next paycheck and the next little drink'
Well you do make up your mind to go on, 'cos
When you woke up this morning everything you had was gone
