[Intro]

If you don't see me in my sides with my guys

I be in the nice—


[Verse 1]

Yo, ain't no leaders where I'm from, I gotta fly the flag

So my brothers, them have got me till the final lap

I feel like I'm floppin' when I try relax

But it turned me to a boss because I like the graft

Built a couple bridges over minor gaps

Burned a couple too, shit, I might struggle, but the time will pass

Long way from playin' double up behind the flats

Lookin' for some money, havin' trouble tryna find the bag

Grew up with some snakes in thе bits

So make your bread, but just be carеful who you're breakin' it with

Brothers hate when you're paid, girls as fake as their lips

Everybody turns salty, gotta take you a pinch

Yeah

Raise my glass up in the air then go smash it off the wall

I don't wanna pour one up if you won't catch me when I fall

Call me bro, but you still struggle lookin' at me when I talk

Hide my feelings, everybody say I'm hard to read

I got some problems, if I state, they wouldn't half believe

Shit, they think it's all party, beats, and Cardi Bs

I done lost a lot of love for the game

Shit changed, plus I feel like it don't love me the same

I might expect too much or it just fucks with my brain

I don't know, feels like I'm stuck in a maze

Takes a lot to explain

Die for my little sister tomorrow

I'll go to jail for my broski and I won't feel away

Put my ends on the map, I had to open the gate

Now they tag me in posts when they go down the lane

God got me, mum, I know that you pray

But I'm never far from home even though I'm away

See the rosary beads you left me when I open my case

From the roads to the road to be great, yeah

Dad told me, "Find a craft and go and master it"

Now he ain't gotta graft, he just relax and find a gaff to flip

Some my family still on bag it up and package it

But some things never change, I'll put my cash in for the damages

Still hungry like I need me a rack

You know the bando in Manny, really bees in the trap

I lost friends for a second, thought I needed 'em back

I never been more wrong, and shit, we'll leave it at that

Took a break to get some shit up off my chest

Stopped myself from postin', said I'm chillin' for a sec

Told everyone I'm focused and I need a little rest

But if I'm honest, I just ghosted 'cause I split up with my ex

Life was cosy, had to pick up where I left

Booked a flight with couple brodies, took the business off my head

Lyin' if I said I'm lonely, got my brothers to the death

If I die, give all my Rollies to the tugs and let 'em flex


[Interlude]

(Why, fam?)

Yeah, go on then

I'll shou-, I'll th-, I'll shout you tomorrow, go for a scran tomorrow, innit?

(Go on)

Alright, respect, yeah

(Alright, I'll show you how to drive your SVR 'round, man)

Hahaha, say no more

(Safe, fam)

Safe, yeah

(Safe, man)

Safe, man

Haha


[Verse 2]

It's hard followin' your brain when your soul don't care

It still feels like no one's there

Sittin' on my throne with an open stare

'Cause to me, it's just a broken chair

I love it at the top, but shit, it's cold up there

I kinda found out how it feels to be alone up there

Lookin' for some hope, it never showed up there

But fuck it, I'm a solider, I can cope up there

Heart's numb, shit don't feel the same

All the money in the world couldn't heal the pain

All the honeys and the girls wanna deal with Aitch

But they deal with him too if he steals my name

Back then, I used to play they'd know me

But shit ain't what I thought, sometimes it ain't so rosey

Kick back and think as I burn my spliff

Just block the world out and watch the day go slowly


[Outro]

Ayy, knobhead, I need these receipts

Rapido, you know?

I've got a fuckin' Excel sheet in front of me, yeah

You would not believe how much money you're throwin' away without fuckin' receipts

Just get back to me please, if you don't mind?

In a bit
