[VERSE 1]
(Hey!)
Look in the mirror what do you see?
Look inside your soul see the energy your giving to the enemy
(Yeah, yeah)
I will never be accustomed or adjusting to the function that system selling me (yeah)
They deny the lies, we compromise, the truth has been disguised, I don't why
They won’t recognise, they ostracise, categorise, I ain't satisfied nah
Yeah I'm just saying words
But did you really listen to what you heard
I told my man either a bridge or a tightrope and asked him what he preferred
I am the type of guy to hold it all in and not say a word
I hold onto dreams, because my futures blurred
One day I wanna see things, do things, great things
Live life with no strings, and pree the whole thing
Yeah I wanna see the whole thing
Sit back in a chair and oversee things
Jump on a plane, them over sea things
I mean I’m bout success, them major key things
I mean I'm bout assets, them look at me things
Think bout my past and I think that's it's crazy to think about where I am now
I am so humbled, yes I am so strong and at times I don't even know how
I came to realize that I could achieve anything if I keep head my down
And I'm just getting started, I told them don't wait on me cos I ain't kidding around
Listen, Nah I ain’t playing around
Listen, I’m aiming for victory, based on my history, this is my liberty, hear my delivery
Thank what I been through, look what it did to me
Right now I'm just tryna get my uni degree
Merk that, be the best I can be
Then one day, do bits for my family, that’s the strategy
[HOOK]
Yeah, I am not the one, when all is said and done more is always said than done
Yeah, I am not the one, imma keep working until the work is done
We can go anywhere, you know I can take you there (x2)
[VERSE 2]
I really tried sticking to this humble ting
But I wrote that last verse last year and now most these rappers are on a mumble ting
Nah bun dat, I ain't really on dat
Most of you say things for the sake of saying them, most you chat cos you just like to chat
All of these games that you play, keep playing them, but leave me out cos monopolies whack
Tryna make a million without stepping on anyone's toes
Wherever I go, it's like everyone’s stepping on mine
Like say the crepes that I'm wearing were made by Umbro
I looked at my bro, he said that's the way that it goes, and I was like woah
Is that how it is? If anyone gets in my way, they can get it, just so you know
Dem man have habits to following cliches
Dem man pree my style my swag so dem man ask me to show the way
But I don't really care for them man there, so you see dem man, they can go away
I repeat, I did not come to play
Yes I'm the nice guy that sings but maybe in the last verse but nah not today
Hold up wait a minute
Tell that Ak there I'm not finished
I just put these rappers careers into question in a few minutes
Do you hear these lyrics?
You can try and spin me but I'll pivot
You can't touch my spirit
Moving controversial like I'm biskitt
I'm here as a witness of the curse of D28
I see them look in the mirror with hate, they decide each other's fate, I swear man they just need some time, but time doesn't wait
Innocent, citizens, institutionalised to instruments
Just a means of making dividens
I see them control the ting, get rid of em, please just get rid of em
And it might seem like I care, but I don't care
I only care about the little things, like the crepes on my feet or the waves in my hair
But what you are not seeing
Is that I grew up in ends, looking for meaning
The type of ends where if you ain't got a crease in your ones, everyone's preeing
So was it nature or nurture for this being
Inevitable, memorable, questionable
I mean the science concludes inheritable
I mean they don't really do conscious in the UK, but everybody round here is impressionable
I mean, everybody round ere wants to fit it, man I guess it is a given when I'm looking at a the thick of it all
Like do you not wanna be seen when you're giving your all?
[HOOK]
Yeah, I am not the one, when all is said and done more is always said than done
Yeah, I am not the one, imma keep working until the work is done
We can go anywhere, you know I can take you there (x2)
(Yeah)
