[Verse]
Man I used to be that guy that made excuses but now I make moves
Get it done one time, there's no need for take two
There's no need to prove points, Rome weren't built in a day
No I don't play games when it's really time to play
And I'll be lying if I said I wasn't dead broke
Face up in the dirt, my mind's in a dark place like where the dead go
I had to make do with anything I got my hands on
And God forgive me for the way I got my bands up
But life isn't fair and living isn't free
You have to pay for your death and pay your debts in your sleep
That's why I'm restless you see
Cah I'm tryna give my family everything, everything life taken from me
What's a dad? I never had that, I am my own dad
No one to learn from and help me, I had my own back
And obviously there's some things that a mother can't aid
Man I'm young and I'm stressed, my brother's MIA
But yeah that's big bro, I know he fixed up and that's my bredrin
I know that he got me till the ending
But see when you're young, you're a sponge
Need that guidance and love
Instead I'm fighting my demons and my time's almost up
This is countryside, still get your trappers and your scammers
Crack addicts, crack houses, shout the akhis for the hammers
Buying suttin off the travellers, single mothers on their own
No food inside their fridge, they ain't got no credit on their phone
There's still the murderers and dealers sniffing coke
And girls with pretty figures, lip fillers
Them man who are victims till they grab their shank and turn killer
Take away his blade, he's just a nerd
I guess I'm tryna say we ain't from a whole different world
Cah things are just as shit, if not there's less opportunity
I'm still working hard and tryna better my community
But if you wanna see change you start with yourself
Gotta get up off your arse if you're tryna see wealth
We got a magic roundabout but nothing magic in my town
Say a prayer when it's loud just to drown the evil out
Same yutes that I used to kick ball with in Chaulden
Same yutes smoking out that crack from a cauldron
Them bruddas that were talking bout them uni degrees
And now the same yutes hitting all these dots for these olders
I'm in the town where you can't talk on the net
Cah boy just know that I'll find you and it's live in the flesh
Cause everybody knows everybody but I ain't a anybody
Very busy boy, I can't be beefing, I got hella hobbies
Hella missions, this one's for them products of a broken home
Those who were afraid to dream but lost inside their thoughts alone
There's bitties asking questions, curiosity it killed the cat
Told them we just levelling cah bro I really been through packs
Back to back I body tracks, tell me how you feel bout that
There's paranoia playing with me, I just gotta watch my back
I watched my own mother break down and cry a hundred times
Not once did she give up, not once did she draw the line
I saw my own father abuse her and then abuse us
And it made me who I am so I couldn't give two fucks
This angle turned me animal, grab the mic I'm in my prime
Never spoke much as a kid so this is how I speak my mind
In my town you do it for yourself, nobody out here back scratching
I ain't backtracking, making moves and now my stacks stacking
When that sick fuck comes out of pen I'll be waiting for him
All my akhis lined up and aiming for him
Nah I can't take it, I need to vacate from this dumb place
I made sure bro had a plate before I done ate
So how they tryna throw dirt on my name?
They say that you should love your brothers
But they're only holy on a Friday
I know that I ain't perfect but I'm better than before
And I'm reminded to stay humble when my head touches the floor
Or when I look up to the sky cah I know he got a plan for me
But I just need to grind, this talent can't go to waste
I ain't tryna go to raves, I'm tryna look after my family
Should see the way I laugh when I'm pain, I lost my sanity
