[Intro]
Ahem, haha
Let me speak
Dreads
Southwest to the world (Forever)
[Verse 1]
Twenty-four hours
When I’m working on the clock, I don’t take no breaks
Agent took me studio in '08
Or '07
Shit was moving fast then, but
How you reach the future
When you’re stuck up in the past-tense?
I hope that makes half sense
Burn them bridges down
Watch 'em burn 'cause you live and learn
You’re gonna die, but since you got a life, go 'head and live it first
You hit the curb and flip a pack
I rip a page and flip them words
(You hit the curb and flip a pack, I rip a page and flip them)
Yeah, like, uh
Different situations, we got different lifestyles
We’re on different pages
Really that’s what life's bout
Yeah I wish had more, but then I think about
There’s guys with their lights out
And guys who are iced out
Just might not have a nice house
The guy with a nice house ain't got love
The woman that’s got love, she ain't got much
And living isn’t recognising stages where it got tough
It's recognising how to act and move forward when it got tough
Uh, d-don't regret just accept it, you can't go and change it
Its just me against the world, I'm going through these changes
A man who’s got something to prove could even be the bravest
A man who’s got nothing to lose is even more than dangerous
Oh my goodness gracious, I got all the flavours
Stevie Wonder to these favours, no Specsavers
I ain't seeing much love, I'm seeing spectators
I'm seeing ex friends showing expectations
[Interlude]
And I'm just tryna take my time cos only time can tell
I see the guy you’re tryna be still tryna find himself
I see personas looking soulless knowing lies can sell
Treat it like clientele, really they just hide in shells
And if you got a dream to chase, my bro, you might as well
And if you got a dream to chase, my sis, you might as well
Better regretting than what iffing, put in time, as well
Mix it with the grind as well, turn your brand to YSL
[Verse 2]
Four-four-four crate
Wavy, I can't walk straight
Somewhere in the Southwest, set cap and a North Face
Plus two, that’s me and you
Maybe more, I'm seeing two
Seeing double, I just keep it subtle, when I speak to you
Or him or her, it's sick the way I'm flipping words
I lie down and go and sleep
Time is ticking, maybe I should sit and work
I'm hearing people talking news, I feel like I'm out the loop
I don't like the lies, I write a tune and switch my altitude
C-c-counting ducks in my room, nout to do, uh
Isolated, medicated, balance out my blues, uh
My emotions concentrated, it kinda mess my mood up
Find it hard to be creative when we cannot do stuff
To be honest I've been cold as hell before this flu stuff
Going miles in my Delorean, I'm in the future
I was told you gotta fall before you really move up
And if you’re down to risk it all for me your love is super
D-don't regret just accept it you can't go and change it
Its just me against the world I'm going through these changes
A man who’s got something to prove could even be the bravest
A man who’s got nothing to lose is even more than dangerous
Oh my goodness gracious, I got all the flavours
Stevie Wonder to these favours, no Specsavers
I ain't seeing much love, I'm seeing spectators
I'm seeing ex friends showing expectations
[Outro]
You don't really show love until you know love (Yeah)
And everybody shows love 'til you get no love (Yeah)
I just wanna get some bread and give my bro some
Like, yeah there was no contract, I still owe some
And when I see my people win, it feels so wholesome (Jeez)
How could you see your friend and wish they get no motion?
Lock myself in the booth, forever sweet
No hooks, heart on the page, just let me speak
