The Journey

Verse 1:

Faced with the choice I had

I was lucky with the boys I had

So I stuck to my guns

Like I had a handful of no more nails

And I picked up a strap

And it paid off, can't sail off yet though

I've got a lot of work left

Gotta rep for those who rep me

From when I wasn't anyone and nobody had heard Dev's

But now it's all changed round

I've got so lucky I'm James Brown

So pass me a tin, I'm Montana

I hope you like red because I'm painting the town

It feels like a million years

That I've waited and been frustrated

But now its orchestrated and now I'm ordering a riot

Look who s back to torture the sound

You couldn't keep me away too long

I became more strong as the race went on

I've been writing rhymes for 9 years

In the blink of an eye that's 9 years gone

Maybe I should have been a doctor

And help anybody who was weak get strong

Who knows, but all I know now

Is that the life I've got, trying to grind for my spot

Look back to my youtube footage

And you'll see my rise to the top

I'm the guy who inspired these blocks

Ever since 05, I've thrived in the fire and it's hot

Me and Ghetts made changes

To what MC's wrote on the pages

And gave young guys a guide

To proceed with writing rhymes that are dangerous

A license to be lyrical

Inside of the life of a ridicule

I cut through my own umbilical cord

With a flick knife and I turned up in the physical

As man in the flesh

I need answers like I need breath

Finding yourself is hard at its best

But on the large scale, part of the test

So we solider on

Trying to do what's right on the road to wrong

All the highs and lows and the times in the cold

Just made me equipped for the time that I've got

Left on the planet, I've got to run till my legs can't hack it

Thought I was gone then you're wrong

Devlin's here and it's Jim not Janet

Bridge:

Follow me on my Journey

Follow me on my Journey

Follow me

Verse 2

Way back in my early days

They wouldn't fuck me like a bird with aids

Now it's all love when I walk on the stage

But those that I wanted to love me, escaped

So now I'm creating a canvas

Take to a camera, capture a still

And in your own personal ways

Develop the negatives in your own brain

And take what you want, what you will

This journey is ill but I'm firm in it still

Fixated on striking it right

The goals in sight now that I'm a little further up field

I'm stronger than ever, Incredible Hulk with his own vendetta

Can't drop bombs on devs in a set up

Step back merely wander at will

I smile at the grimace inside of this ill pill grimmage

Out of my mind and my mind is my limit

Then I think you'll find that I can do what I like till the whole films finished

And you know that I will make the most of my deal

Over the next twelve months I've got to get close to a mill

Drinks in the air I'm lifting the spirits

Just like weights on the bar, tell the pretty lady to wait at the bar

Buy her more bailees and wait for the car

I ain't a killer but I sure do kill it

Now I seen the best of days on this escapade

On walking on bricks pre-laid

Cos the quest was paved

Now I bet you wish you could live it
