[Verse 1]
Living life like a ground hog
Black bandana, and it sounds off
Sirens and violence -
24/7, no days off
As a younger he tried to be a pro baller
But no scouts never called up -
Now you catch him on the corner
Number one gunner, and he's rising the tall up
Weren't the life that he wanted
Older brother doing 10 for a gun ting
He swore down, he wasn't on that
Black balaclava and gloves for the robbery
Dem time there, he's looking food for the family
Buss gunshot and drink brandy
Living at home with his mumzies
There weren't one day that he had to go hungry
[Hook]
It goes on and on
[Verse 2]
Now he said that he worked out
The olders are cool but they're burnt out
They haven't put in work for the last couple years
So according to him they don't dump out
Anyway he got shift with a couple boxes
Boydem run up in his mumzies
Lucky that he never had the .45 -
Dirty Babylon they would have loved it
So when the judge slapped him with a sentence
Not one ounce of repentance
Tried the screw face ting when he was about on the wing
But when he got punched up he remembered -
That he wasn't bout that life on the inside
Never had the heart of a warrior
Started promising himself that he weren't coming back
Got surrounded by goons and he felt like a foreigner
Anyway, them man a touch road
Now he's saying "get down or lay down!" -
Upgraded himself, from mini to a monster
Brand new bully in the playground -
Mumsie can't take it
She goes hard with the prayers on the Sunday
She beg Jesus for guidance -
And mercy to show him a better way
But anyway my mans Muslim
He goes hard with the war on a Friday
He said he's done with the bacon -
But he still goes ham, with the lemon and the high-grade
[Hook]
On and on...
...it goes on and on
The pressure is rising
We keep on surviving
There's no disguising...
...it goes on and on
The road that you're taking
The world that you're making
There's no escaping
It goes on and on
Now we got a new chapter
Life of a new wave gangsta
When my don said he's picking up boxes
Cash in hand, he ain't hollerin' a sponsor
Now he knows about Obeah
So he's spending big money on the dark side
Try pay for protection, pray for protection
Shook, he was just hoping he won't die -
'Cause nobody wants gun shots
Never get caught slipping on the wrong side
Yo, the streets look, then the streets chat
He heard somebody just put money on his headback!
But he said, he don't even bidniss
He said "DEM MAN BETTER GET A REFUND!" -
He don't leave yard without the big ting
He said, funeral, but it ain''t his one! -
Yo
Muzsie can't take it
She goes hard with the prayers on a Sunday
She knows he won't make it -
But she still beg Jesus to hear what she's got to say
But anyway, my mans dumping!
He put shots in their face and headback!
Man a move scary, like a Halloween pumpkin -
Dem man that buss gun - dem man, dem don't take chat!
