always - Intellectual

[Intro]

Yeah

[Verse 1]

I shed blood and tears for fucking years, to touch my calling

I don't care what man call it

Might die for the mic recording

Take life for the mic recording

I’m not on the hype or war ting

I'Il do man in, then wash my sins

I dunno what Christ would call it

It's me and the gangnem, killy

My youth got abandoned, killy

I watched my marj turn water to wine, my pain ain’t random, killy

You do it for fandom, killy, dem man dere, can stand 'em really

Dem boy dere they do it for FYP, I do it for Lambeth, killy

Ceecee was marga, had no father, thought bout options after

My land weren't lala, under the moonlight, weren't on chat or rahrah

Marjae ran scams for bala

This rap garn takе us farther

Spent so long in the trеnch, it must be time to flip man's karma

[Pre-Chorus]

Been out on the jugg as always

My boys did shots on the courts

I saw my pops in the dock on a court case

Marj said, keep from him, I know that boy's been so unruly

She don't know I was on timing, teef and sliming back in my school days

[Chorus]

I earned my Ps in all ways

I did it the lidge and fool way

I used to give them Os for the lo, now I got fans in Norway

I'm on my grind as always

Don’t do it for swag or Louis

Imma be frank, he ain’t on nothin', my mans fried like poulet

[Verse 2]

Wah gwarn, what’s popping?

Fresh off the block Ceecee been hoodrat

Council housing, Argos browsing, wishing I came from a good gaff

Wait, now man wish that they would chat

Woosh that, you don't like me better jook, man

Look man, every night Cee had a book bag full of the grub, I'm your local crook man

Tories made me this

Benefits cuts made shady kids

ADHD, yout with a 4 and a baby, grew up as mumzy's baby

My last tape, I try show you man from the ends can still be conscious

But fuck that shit, I clocked it quick, they like me more as a monster
