Lessons From London Lyrics by Jakob Leichtman

Life in London

2018

Intro (Skit from "Juice"):
"You right, I am crazy. But you know what else? I don't give a fuck. I don't give a fuck about you and you less of a man than me so soon as I decide that you ain't gon be shit, Cuz I'm the one y'all need to be worried about, you remember that motherfucker."
Verse 1:
I’m done giving fucks about you, better off without you (without you)
I played nice, just lived my life, but your actions keep me up at night
That ain’t right, it ain’t fair, really wish you didn’t push me there
4AM in London feel like Kanye bout to spazz on yall
How am I the underdog but the only one who balls (only)
Everything you’re doing now I’ve already done it (done it)
Going where I’ve been seeing the same things yeah it’s funny (haha)
Went from judging me to wanna be what I’m becoming
Hook:
People upset with themselves, so they take it out on me (out on me)
These past years at my lowest, people looking down on me (down on me)
God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers and
I'm my own worst enemy, there’s bound to be some casualties
Verse 2:
Bitch I came back from Peru ay
You don’t know what I went through ay
I made a tape tellin’ you ay
Our relationship fell through ay
I did not know what to do ay
Put all of my trust in you ay
You’re the cause for the issues ay
Don’t know why I still miss you ay
People stabbing me in the back yet they don’t have one themselves
People chatting behind my back, in person they wish me well
People clapping like my show ended, but that was the warm up
Now they gasping left em breathless, they know that I warned them
All my friends are dead no mourning, I stay foreign, you stay boring
More countries that need exploring, more important, didn’t support me
Flights I'm boarding, songs that need recording, more drinks I’m pouring
Leave the bottle, fuck up the game more than a brothel
Refrain (Skit from Shawshank Redemption):
"Some birds aren't meant to be caged, their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice. But still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty now that they're gone."
Verse 3:
We both grateful difference is I know who to thank though
Writing’s my way to freedom no Hillary I’m Swank though
Left the deli but still stacking bread and cheddar, bankroll
Escaped your clutches, no longer your crutch, no not your scapegoat
Take the "scape" out and that is what I am
London breakdown made me more of a man
Blueprint laid out now I know what I want
Serving you all, life is a restaurant
You ordered beef now you ready to eat?
What you don’t want it, no longer hungry?
Treat you like the meal, belong in the trash
Don’t care how you feel, I still made the cash
Hook:
People upset with themselves, so they take it out on me
These past years at my lowest, people looking down on me
God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers and
I'm my own worst enemy, there’s bound to be some casualties
Verse 4:
In London asking "Wah Gwann" ay
That’s on the homie Shabaz ay
Mans reppin' "The Ends" its on ay
Stacking the greens like salads ay
People keep switching they sides ay
Flip more than Max Honorof ay
They never leaving the states ay
I’m abroad lost in the sauce ay
Based God cooking with the wrist ay
All your chances that you missed ay
Got me actin’ real petty ay
Warned you but still ain't ready ay
Sleeping on me I’m Freddy ay
Make sure you don’t forget me ay
Make sure that you regret me ay
It’s all your fault I’m depressed ay
My passion tryna perfect ay
Drink and smoke I reflect ay
Don’t know why you don’t accept me
Don’t know why you rejected me
Ponce and I told you "Don’t Tempt Me"
Full of yourself made me feel empty
Sending shots till chamber empty
Fuck your thoughts and your two pennies
