[Verse 1]

Look, Givenchy shoe, Versace shirt and belt

Through-ball to make your shit melt

Pockets on swell, feel my shit like braille

Don't ask how I dick down girl

Man, I lurk and work with a pack that's penger than your ex

Looking cold like I'm slanging in cheques

Cause I'm on the way up from the bottom, mingle with the foot soldiers

Out there pushing dirt boulders

Time to disguise that life, man, I really despise that life

Been bottom, I ain't tryna go twice

Cuh with the words or birds I'm nice, crazy

And this one's all about the price, Katie

Tryna do it all legitimately

Cuh in spite of legitimate P, battling with inner demons

Lost marbles, have you seen 'em?

Got an act that needs cleaning

[Chorus]

It's a struggle to the top, man are

Always looking forward and up, not down

Can't break down, never look down on any

It's a long way when you go down

It's a struggle to the top, man are

Always looking forward and up, not down

Can't break down, never look down on any

It's a long way when you go down

I'm tryna go up, not down

Frontline, not the DMs where it goes

Said he was down till he got nicked on trial

Got a seventeen, had to go down

I'm tryna go up, not down

Frontline, not the DMs where it goes

Said he was down till he got nicked on trial

Got a seventeen, had to go down

[Verse 2]

Oi, said I'm battling my demons already

Spirits you ain't ever seen on the telly

Tryna break man down but I'm focused, you ain't seen ready yet

Gangster and greaze with etiquette

That's the kind of style and pattern that you can't break down

Take down or recreate now

Plugged in like I'm in charge

Literally in charge of my own wave or budget

Bruddas still grudging, but they've never seen me grind

So my twelve iron never had shine

On my own life, I had to take time

I was out there, hair all picky, no excuse, not growing it

Literally grafting, greazy, getting it

Can't teach me about maths with the medicine

Guess it comes with the melanin, hood graft

Make it vanish like I'm fucking with the witchcraft

[Chorus]

It's a struggle to the top, man are

Always looking forward and up, not down

Can't break down, never look down on any

It's a long way when you go down

It's a struggle to the top, man are

Always looking forward and up, not down

Can't break down, never look down on any

It's a long way when you go down

I'm tryna go up, not down

Frontline, not the DMs where it goes

Said he was down till he got nicked on trial

Got a seventeen, had to go down

I'm tryna go up, not down

Frontline, not the DMs where it goes

Said he was down till he got nicked on trial

Got a seventeen, had to go down

[Outro]

I'm tryna go up, not down

Not down

Not down

Frontline, not the DMs where it goes down

I'm tryna go up, not down

Not down

Not down

Frontline, not the DMs where it goes down
