Real talk by Hak Baker, this really touched a nerve. I lost my brother in 2017 so it took me back to memories with him. This song is so deep and so relatable. Everyday shit. Look at his face - that's the face of someone who has dealt with real shit over the years. The pain is so true for everyone to see, yet portrayed so peacefully. Big up Hak, I heard you on the R1 Chillers show last week and just had to come and hear more of your music. You make me relate to real moments in my own life, it's a powerful tool. Look forward to much more from you in the future..
I'm ashamed to say l judged the book by it's cover. It's very refreshing to see someone brave enough to be different. I wish Mr Hak Baker all the success in the world.
[Verse 1] Nothing I could do, nothing I could say I'm not putting any use, on a four year stay So much on my plate, we just lost our mate And there's nothing I could do or nothing I could say Sitting in my cell, thinking of my mates I know they're all broken, I know they're in states Crying all these tears, thinking all these things Two pace on the corner, when the photos on the wind [Verse 2] Thinking of my friends, thinking of my pals We just lost our mate and the pain is just like, wow Sitting on the sofa, five years down the line I just left the graveyard, not knowing how to smile Thinking of the lads, thinking of the boys We just lost our rider, their ma want's make noise So did them fans, oi-yoi-yoi, island boys Man we'd give anything to have back our boy [Chorus] The lads miss you, we all do Yeah, we do, yeah we do The lads miss you, we all do Yeah, we do, yeah, we do Our sad issue, we got issues That's life I guess That's life I guess I guess [Verse 3] Spending all our time chilling in the shed Back then, everybody was friends then, everybody was blessed Everybody was brethens then, every lad there was a legde Nowadays there's so much beef, might come over and ref We go jump on the train, shoot down the south end Canham Canivan always came so did Charlie Bender We go trample birds, then end up on a bender Always have a ride, that's a top weekender [Verse 4] Speaking of the weekend, we fly down to Essex Coming at, let's go out, was your favorite text message I would always oblige, we jump in the ride Binge drinking on the 813, tryna stay alive Spliff in my right hand, my face in the other Two times a year I send flowers to your mother Adidas shell toes and a Ralph Lauren jumper I do hope your soul's at rest, mate, I love ya [Chorus] The lads miss you, we all do Yeah, we do, yeah we do The lads miss you, we all do Yeah, we do, yeah, we do Our sad issue, we got issues That's life I guess That's life I guess I guess [Verse 5] So much great memories, now how can I be sad? Chilling in the trap, ten birds and about eight lads So many great lads there mate, every lad there was a chap Spliff in my hand, tryna figure how to get those days back, man Drink in my hand, tryna figure how to get those days back Every risk we take just tryna get back to the flat Every wish that I make, sadly never gave us you back Spliff in my hand, tryna figure how to get those days back [Outro] We do, we do Things don't seem to be the same since you've gone So I sing songs That's life I guess That's life I guess I guess
Both of my brothers have been murdered and my Ma passed from covid three weeks ago. My youngest brother’s mate sent me this. Cried my eyes out. I miss them all so much it feels like I can’t breathe when I think about it.
@@stephenpatterson4119 thank you Stephen. I was surprised to see this pop up in my email. I wouldn’t normally leave a comment like that on UA-cam and realise looking back what a struggle that time was.
Went tu see this man in Manchester while I attended chronixx concert August 10th 2019, I wasnt a fan until I left. Keep doing what yu do brother I feel I relate tu yu n yur music. 1 love
for some reason I did too lmao. Dunno something about the lyrics and how it's so relatable to chill with your boys and then visualizing to lose one of 'em is so fking sad. Really nice song, you can tell he's feeling for his friend.
I was trying so hard not to, first time I heard this I clicked off after like 5 seconds, but then I gave it another listen and I was just so incredibly moved, I just barely managed not to cry. Such a beautiful song, Jesus
air max whether 95's or 97's are not a ROADMAN kick nor is anything he's wearing. If anyone would judge him on this basis, It is not judging a book by it's cover, they are straight up just judging him. what he is wearing is swag simple as and if to be roadman you must have swag then boyyyyyyyy then 90% of the world are roadmen and Roadwoman
So nice to catch a lil flame that's so raw that you just know it's going to blow..and then watch as it spreads all over the place lighting up ppls lives as it goes.. knowing u saw it all and rooted for it from that first listen. Love

Fuck me. I have been playing folk rock for years, living a trap life and listening to grime.... Ive needed the last piece of the jigsaw if inspiration. Thank you Hak!
Hak, Wednesday evening around 9.30 pm laying on the sofa with so many thoughts about me about you about growing up in England etc, you know what I mean. I read up about your friend Tom who had the accident hence the song. Painful brother I know I've been in the same situation. Ras. Anyway brother I am a little bit older than you but so many things you and me who have never met stil are so similar in so many ways. Let's hope that you will continue to bless us with your love and talent for years. Love you my man. Keep rocking brother Mark x
I have only just heard this guy and I am kicking myself thinking “how have I never heard this guy before?”...he is supporting Plan B tonight and my step son is going to see him...I am not jealous much lol
"Spliff in my right hand , my face in the other
Two times a year i send flowers to your mother"
that line hits deeeep
Tears in my eyes listening to these lyrics thinking of people lost
Serious
Crying all these tears, flowers to your mother?
Such powerful words and lyrics. Talk about lump in the throat!
The melody so chill and relaxing
G-Folk

I just lost my brother last week. I feel this so much. I miss him and it feels like I’ll never stop missing him.

I'm ashamed to say l judged the book by it's cover. It's very refreshing to see someone brave enough to be different. I wish Mr Hak Baker all the success in the world.
why or what did you judge ? glad you enjoy x
I can literally see the pain in his eyes
This guy deserves sooo much attention, have spoken with him a few times, proper genuine person !!
This guy is insane. super deep
what a gorgeous melody
"...two times a year I send flowers to your mother," has me sobbing.
[Verse 1]
Nothing I could do, nothing I could say
I'm not putting any use, on a four year stay
So much on my plate, we just lost our mate
And there's nothing I could do or nothing I could say
Sitting in my cell, thinking of my mates
I know they're all broken, I know they're in states
Crying all these tears, thinking all these things
Two pace on the corner, when the photos on the wind
[Verse 2]
Thinking of my friends, thinking of my pals
We just lost our mate and the pain is just like, wow
Sitting on the sofa, five years down the line
I just left the graveyard, not knowing how to smile
Thinking of the lads, thinking of the boys
We just lost our rider, their ma want's make noise
So did them fans, oi-yoi-yoi, island boys
Man we'd give anything to have back our boy
[Chorus]
The lads miss you, we all do
Yeah, we do, yeah we do
The lads miss you, we all do
Yeah, we do, yeah, we do
Our sad issue, we got issues
That's life I guess
That's life I guess
I guess
[Verse 3]
Spending all our time chilling in the shed
Back then, everybody was friends then, everybody was blessed
Everybody was brethens then, every lad there was a legde
Nowadays there's so much beef, might come over and ref
We go jump on the train, shoot down the south end
Canham Canivan always came so did Charlie Bender
We go trample birds, then end up on a bender
Always have a ride, that's a top weekender
[Verse 4]
Speaking of the weekend, we fly down to Essex
Coming at, let's go out, was your favorite text message
I would always oblige, we jump in the ride
Binge drinking on the 813, tryna stay alive
Spliff in my right hand, my face in the other
Two times a year I send flowers to your mother
Adidas shell toes and a Ralph Lauren jumper
I do hope your soul's at rest, mate, I love ya
[Chorus]
The lads miss you, we all do
Yeah, we do, yeah we do
The lads miss you, we all do
Yeah, we do, yeah, we do
Our sad issue, we got issues
That's life I guess
That's life I guess
I guess
[Verse 5]
So much great memories, now how can I be sad?
Chilling in the trap, ten birds and about eight lads
So many great lads there mate, every lad there was a chap
Spliff in my hand, tryna figure how to get those days back, man
Drink in my hand, tryna figure how to get those days back
Every risk we take just tryna get back to the flat
Every wish that I make, sadly never gave us you back
Spliff in my hand, tryna figure how to get those days back
[Outro]
We do, we do
Things don't seem to be the same since you've gone
So I sing songs
That's life I guess
That's life I guess
I guess
3:22 💚💚💚💚💚💚 The fact he played that guitar added sooo much more meaning to the song.. Sooo perfect... 🔥🔥🔥🔥
this is the best thing I have ever read.
For those newly watching I need you to understand that you might be missed so much that it will haunt them forever.
Beautiful words.
Song is a prayer for his friend. This is heart rendering.
Smooth song writing and performing man. Tom would be proud 👍
Bordel, même le plus vénère des Hommes pleure tellement c'est beau, texte et mélodie oblige
Both of my brothers have been murdered and my Ma passed from covid three weeks ago. My youngest brother’s mate sent me this. Cried my eyes out. I miss them all so much it feels like I can’t breathe when I think about it.

Been loving chronixx sinne start a fya mix tape. Found this today. Know Im a fan now.
I cried
Olivia over this?

for some reason I did too lmao.
Dunno something about the lyrics and how it's so relatable to chill with your boys and then visualizing to lose one of 'em is so fking sad.
Really nice song, you can tell he's feeling for his friend.
I was trying so hard not to, first time I heard this I clicked off after like 5 seconds, but then I gave it another listen and I was just so incredibly moved, I just barely managed not to cry. Such a beautiful song, Jesus
To the close mates, gone never lost never forgotten!
Still replaying this everyday. Homage Hack Baker
Beautiful heart felt words. RIP Tom.. the lads clearly miss ya.
This has inspired me to start playing again. Genius.
Did u ever figure out how to play this? I’m dying to learn but can’t find a tab for it
i love seeing a man rapping with a guitar and a mellow voice in an adidas tracksuit. beautiful song.
This guy has a bit of a Billy Bragg essence going on. Love this song and love Colours. Best source for new music.
"I do hope ur souls at rest mate i love ya" hit hard
Me emocionei muito com a letra que tive que buscar a tradução, sabia que música era boa porque quando começou deu um arrepio. Muito bom...
perfect example of never JUDGE a book by its cover. Air max 97's and a Acoustic guitar who would of thought haha. #ROADMAN
makani Joinville air max 97
95's have a gap between the front and the back of the sole
97s geeze
lol those are 97's
air max whether 95's or 97's are not a ROADMAN kick nor is anything he's wearing. If anyone would judge him on this basis, It is not judging a book by it's cover, they are straight up just judging him. what he is wearing is swag simple as and if to be roadman you must have swag then boyyyyyyyy then 90% of the world are roadmen and Roadwoman
So nice to catch a lil flame that's so raw that you just know it's going to blow..and then watch as it spreads all over the place lighting up ppls lives as it goes.. knowing u saw it all and rooted for it from that first listen. Love
Just amazing. The poignancy of this performance
I come back to this about onc a week and it still hits just as hard as the first time
wow this is not what i expected from the thumbnail
Same lol
TVsez lol he’s in an adidas tracksuit with a bandana around his head. And he’s black. Wouldn’t expect an acoustic ballad lol.
TVsez it's not racist we saw him with a adidas jacket and a bandana and also there are plenty white rappers and from other colours so yeah
TVsez If this person was white wearing the same clothes you'd expect some russian hardbass no?
Aackchually.... it's a Nike tracksuit.
Recently discovered this mans music and I feel like I’ve been looking for this sound my whole life
Mate he’s so good
This track really grabs me by the throat every time I hear it. Piece of work my man.
Who didn't chill in a shed with your mates and smoke when your 16 this guys relatable music to everyone in some way 💚

thought he was gonna be a mainstream hip hop artist but.......
lol nah i'm black too i judged just by his looks
Mainstream on COLORS?
TVsez bruh just chill. Enjoy the music. He admitted he made a mistake dont look to much into it.
David Onuoha U DONT GET THAT ON COLORS THESE ARE REAL ARTISTS
Where can i get the instrument only for this song??
I have only just heard this guy and I am kicking myself thinking “how have I never heard this guy before?”...he is supporting Plan B tonight and my step son is going to see him...I am not jealous much lol
If i could hit like on this a million times,,
This guy is special
amazing.
I relate to this a lot... rest in peace my friend...
You thought he was gonna be a hip hop or rap artist? Well you was wrong, never judge a book by it's cover.
Fade Away I was about to comment this 😂😂
and he's both, what's your point exactly?
reminds me of mitchell brothers alone with the tv
