[Verse]

Yo, I made some profit from the pavements, but it cost me peace

Put my weapon on my waist before I touch the streets

I lost some people to the roads, it really cut me deep

Still neck deep up in this shit, it's like I'm lost at sea

I guess my mother couldn't picture what her son would be

Had to hit the T 'cause goin' lidge, it weren't my cup of tea

I used to buzz on random flats like it's your next door neighbour, "Can you let me in the block cah I forgot my keys?"

Puff my weed up on the top floor

To tell thе truth I didn't want war

I wanted money, what you think I'm hittin' shots for?

I couldn't drive thеn, I had to take some long walks

Ain't it funny how my come up got cut short

Back and forth from court

Eight but I done four, they're due to send me up north

It's a shame I used to love sports

Now it's bank notes and plug talks

I might have a conversation with a therapist

But I can't speak about The Elephant

I need to work on my development

Make some progress and get back in my element

I'm hurtin' and it's evident, that trauma still delicate

This pain comes with benefits, it makes me go harder

I'm on the M-way on my own, I'm usin' both chargers

I'm fine dinin' by myself, don't want a plus one

I told the waiter pour my drink and bring some cold starters

I'm havin' cold showers, been awake for twelve hours

Told mum "The world's ours," gotta give myself flowers

I watched everybody eat, I never felt sour

I'm a man so I can never give a girl power

Walkin' with a target on my head

But I wanna know who's askin' for the bread

I'm goin' after them instead

I'm still bargainin' with death

Twenty-three thousand what they charge me for the creps

It's not hard for me to step

But I'm laughin' through the stress

Loved me at my worst, I bet they hate me at my best

And I ain't even reached peak

They can't stand me so their knees weak

I been prayin' that my team eats

We just need a clean sheet

Who am I? Mr. Make It Happen, Do Or Die

Who are they? Just some funny men and crooked guys

I could've been behind bars, I nearly could've died

But I'm here now so wait until my book arrives
