[Intro]

Sometimes, you've just got to say

What you've got to say

Yeah, listen

[Verse 1]

Papes is my turn on, raised in a place you never heard of

Straight off the bat, your boy adapted, I'm a learner

Born as an Englishman, bloodline Nigerian

BNP would tell you I'm an immigrant

I go to Naij, they treat a nigga different

I'd tell a lie if I said niggas never seen the prison much

I'd tell a lie if I said that the riots were legitimate

Looting n shooting, drug pushing n rushing the yout dem

But what the fuck you expect? it ain't colour its class

They fucked up their future cause they ain't learned from their past

You tell your kids that they're different so now they find an excuse

Get your head in the game, you either win or you lose

It ain't all hunky dory if you ain't shit when you 40

These niggas spilling their guts all in pursuit of the glory

Get the urge to be stunting when you ain't come up with nothing

But niggas got it back to front cos they be broke and they're flossing I tell em

[Hook]

Family comes first

Money comes second

Money equals power

And that power is a weapon

A bitch is just a bitch they never come before a bredrin

But a woman is a woman and to find one is a blessing

Do what you enjoy

Fuck a haters voice

Tell a hater he can slap himself 10 times

Cause they love to see you down but hate to see you on the rise

Said they love to see you down but hate to see you on the rise

[Verse 2]

I've got a plan A, and a plan B

I remember when I thought I'd never bang g

Specs on getting As in the test

But all a little nigga wanted was some A double S

Took the specs off and got a trim, couldn't see a fucking thing

Started getting chicks though, then I got contacts

Now I'm getting contacts, tryna get a contract

Spraying like a contract killer on a dumb track

All this talk of pushing crack, me I'm tryna push the bar

Skinny nigga in the gym, I was tryna push the bar

Push it far, all these niggas around the city screaming fuck the law

What you looking for? Better handle yours before you're busting nuts in broads

Fuck the system that they try to set you in

Tryna get these kids around here to settle for shit

Then they have a kid what can they offer it

That's a cycle full of suffering and I won't

Settle for that, running round in circles

All that hate you best ignore that

Tell a fuck boy stop it, work equals profit you know that

Success ain't a second thought, I've thought about it all and I know

The media's gonna try n paint us all the same way, the same way

And I know, no matter where I'm at I'll always say the same thing

The same thing yeah

[Hook]
