Lyrics:

[Verse 1]

Me n u both
Seen mum stand on her Own
Like Queen sit down on your throne
Like Maybe like once or twice at Christmas speak with dad on the phone
He was out of it yeh I could tell back then
Maybe Like 7 or 8 or 9 or 10 I can never tell when
Blanked it out grew up blurry
I Guess we both grew up early
Then I grew older oblivious to who I’m hurtin
But If that was you, I’m certain
You woulda been there for me when I need it
Deep rooted deep seeded
Apple didn’t fall to far from where tree did but rolled away down the motorway and 20 years later u end up where we did
Coincidence or not
I just hope we don’t go the way he did
Hate that we ain’t been keeping in touch
Just know I still smile when Leeds win
See u at the funeral speaking
Of all these things he taught u Maybe it was me then
And I saw the signs I just
always been good at ignoring it
Phone on the side on silent
I just let u keep calling it
Never know next morning the call id get
And now all I can think is u just walking in
To all of it
Crash

[Chorus]

Crash landing
Your hands
Pull me down an
Handstand
And we rise up and
Ooooo

[Verse 2]

Ain’t nutting left to say na
This engine failure
Done seen us landing
Crashed in ball of flames
And it was all in vein
Ya never grew up now you Peter panned it
Leave us standing
Wondering are we not family
You raise hands
And I raise men
Bad times can’t erase them
But now we ain’t then
You gotta understand it
Ain’t simple as throwing tantrum
You’re a man take look at your actions
Take responsibility for your madness
Are you mad bruv?
Mums house and you wanna act up
Sons house leaving what you racked up
Coward didn’t even thank us
Instead sent death threats when your tanked up
I ain’t even shook of a man
That couldn’t look but he ran
I stood firm woulda took a hook and shouldn’t be that
Lil bro protect mum na couldn’t be that
Garn Look at her run
Yeah Now you gotta look at me and
Face facts you ain’t pushing me back
Tears in my eyes knowing it could never go back
Me and you running separate tracks
Never meant it for that
Yeah, I’m sure but I’m telling ya now
You crash landed

[Verse 3]

Never knew sadness till my dad left
Never knew madness till my mum left my pappi
for a white man with a black chest
Black heart x2
Now these black wet clouds hang over our name like an accent
It’s hard to just blend in when there’s barrier
Like language or train stations
with carriage
and the kids at school ask what’s your accent
Never knew sadness till my dad’s death
Guess it hangs over you like an accent
I was slow burner in that respect
My past tense broke me down Like an acronym
Broke to the point it was man and him
So I can’t leave now always stand with him
You done a couple wrongs that I hope you don’t admit
That To your old friends call that bad spirit
Never seen a crash as bad as you landing
Crash landing I brought you a little blanket
Flying through the air like javelin
And again
A crash mat
Squash my happiness
But love is all I have in this
A guinea pig for your experiments
More V***** for my anxiousness
I thinking what would daddy think
But I never believe in bad spirits before they trapped him in
I never felt evil towards n**** before they was bad to him
I’ve always seen me and you as different until I act just like him
Every time we speed from our demons see we both crash again

[Chorus]

Crash landing
Your hands
Pull me down an
Handstand
And we rise up and
Ooooo
