It was like

I forgot about my future and I pissed it away

Just to get pissed as fuck

That's pretty much the gist of the day

Distant and dazed

Consistently I pictured a grave

Had my name written on it

And the bricks would decay

A quick fix

It's like my wrist was amazed

It would spit away

Insisted on the slits that were made

An alcoholic warzone where every sip’s a grenade

I saw them empty stubbies turn into a ditch and a spade

Addictions to blame

For every single risk that I take

For every incident considered as my biggest mistake

For every time I said id quit it for my missus sake

Then stick with it for a minute til id miss it and cave

I guess that everybody thought it was a bit of a phase

But I was binging on the liquor

I was giving it praise

A victim of shame and sickened with a prisoners rage

Then I was staring down the barrel and it triggered a change

Did I ever really give enough?

I guess I did but it was only for a little buzz

I didn't think that I was worth it

I could turn around and get it

Let alone put in the effort

But I had to learn to work and never give it up

Sometimes I wonder if i wasn't ever given drugs?

What would have happened if my father didn't hit and run?

I think it's dumb, but would I still be on this path?

It took a while to find that it was sinkin’ deeper than the liquor does

A lot of peoples dreams are keeping me from sittin’ drunk

To see my friends are falling down that hole

Until they give up

I’m feeling shit cos I admit that I was in a rut

But when I found that I was out

I couldn't help but give a fuck

I've been a cunt but I was whinging

I was stuck

I wasn't thinking

I was dumb

And I was binging to get through the month

A bit of fun to get me pumped to go and hit a club

Just to get a bit of recognition for the shit I've done

For anybody struggling with stuttering lips

Who can't find the right words so they chuck on a disc

This is for the person with the cut on their wrists

Stuck in the grips of depression and its fucken abyss

And for the fans that committed

When they come to a gig

Told us they're getting through the day

When they're bumping our shit

For every person who had enough

As a suffering kid

Still fighting for a chance at life with the blood on their kicks

Yeah

And I’ma do it ‘til I'm breaking my bones

All the pain that is thrown at me

I’ma face it alone

The only dream I'm chasing is making a name of my own

And to be known as the greatest

In the state that I roam

So these haters can groan

But they ain't ya to know

That when I ring their phone later

They'll be changing their tune

I waited in a dark place

Now my patience has grown

Though it took ages to escape it

And the danger is shown

It's okay

Cos now I can remain in my zone

I've come along fucken way from the taste of patròn

From sitting at the train station after blazing a cone

To all these stages and these podiums

And planes that I've flown

Now these ladies are so in love with me

Their labias my own

It's like my pure blood and sweat

Is their favourite cologne

Cos now I'm sober

And my fucken motivation is honed

And so the only thing I'm craving is

My place on the throne

Yo, for every dickhead that ever said I was shit

Really never has lived

Through any of the messages I give

I was sitting as I waited to get ahead of it quick

I wouldn't settle for anything less for whatever it is

I still remember when I thought I was an irrelevant kid

And the memories still flicker with the venom I spit

I fell, forgot, and so instead I had to get ‘em to think

Better get in your head

So you will never forget what I did

And I've been at it for a minute now

I'm ready to flip

Checkin the clock

I'll never stop

Cos every second will tick

I'm not a regular ya wanna get competitive with

I'm a competitive prick

I'm heavy with any weapon I pick

And now I'm better than ever

I'm on a hell of a trip

We had to get it together but now you're getting the hint

Through every word that was written

It was a lesson we lived

But it's still the beginning

We'll never give in

Or ever we'll quit

So you'd better admit

That we’re the cream of the crop

We’re making music every other rapper’s dreaming to drop

Even the cops aren't fucken with the speed that we've got

We make a track and then another

Never eager to stop

Believe it or not

No quitting ‘til were greeting with god

Gotta give it everything and better keep it on lock

See that we’re not finished until the team is on top

And devastated the haters and have em leaving in shock

And were succeeding a lot

With every scheme that we plot

Your chick screams for every 16 that we jot

We got the kids on the street

Kickin frees on the block

Keep convincing the sheep

To disagree with the flock

And now too many rappers aren’t keeping their jobs

They get fired or retired when we’re cleanin’ the shop

So you don't really even wanna beef with the boss

We crucify ‘em quick

And then we take a leak on the cross

Can''t quit, ‘til I'm smokin’ my last bit

Casket closed

‘Til I'm thrown in a dark pit

Won't go smokin’ cigars

Toasting a glass

Boasting for laughs

Til I know that I've mastered

This sight that I've chosen to harness

Hoping and guard

This moment of calmness

Focusing hard but

Every single lyric I've ever written

A red rose grown in the garbage

Wanna know how broken my heart is

Look at the pain that I've shown in my bar vids

Or would you rather have a load of Minaj's

Flown in their starships through their retarded?

And yet their still shown on the carpets

Hoping their arse is voted the largest

You might know these other rappers as rappers

Until they manage to vanish

Cos I just know them as targets

Fuck rap

We’re well known and regarded

As those of a part of a moment that parted

A path for the hopeless

Showed them a spark

Try to open the paths

With the flow that we crafted

And until that moment passes

Gotta make sure that we’re known as regardless

I've chosen my throne

I was grown to the culture

No to the vulture

That flown to my carcass

Now most can't cope with the carnage

Can't let go

Sit alone in the darkness

Say that a home is a place for the heart

But the heart is the place

That is home for an artist

Any place that I've roamed and I've charted

Mates that I've known

And the shows when it lasted

Holding our own

Just told ya to go

So you're ready for the show

Then you know that it’s started

What
