A Portrait Lyrics by Lowkey

Key to the Game Volume 1

0

[Intro]
Yeah, it's Lowkey, let's do this
This is a portrait

[Verse]
Still remain to be young and blessed
Differently gifted, since I was held at my mother's breast
Need to get away from the streets, in love with drugs and sex
Guns, glamour, blood and death, shit were London's best
Still feeling like we're stuck in Hell, I got love for my brother Spells
Along this path we both needed each other's help
I paint pictures, this is a portrait
The album's 'round the corner, next year I got to fit in some tour date
We tried to start living in more ways
This is food for thought that's bringing a raw taste
I'm in the kitchen fixing a gourmet
I remember years of sweat and tears, I would stay spitting for 4 days
To make sure baked bread is here
I never fear, forget Britain, we're the best in this hemisphere
I poured out my heart blood and left it here, let me make the message clear
The time of judgement is getting near
Display my essence on this track
Still I don't even know who did the tune first
I spit nothing but facts, still blood it's like the truth hurts
In a world were dirty words can get a youth merked
I pursue and search for my place on this Earth's surface
I'm the worst person to hate so don't make a quick mistake
Before I make your whole face disintegrate
It's not a game, I ain't one of them pricks that want the fame
Around me you can't spot the same lyricists
I got a solid name 'cause of the way I operate and stay living this
This ain't Great Britishness, just straight from the soul
Of an MC with a dangerous flow
Blood I done this as ancient as Rome
But I'm still patiently waiting to blow
So what the fuck's up now?
