[Verse 1: Kyze]

They say I've got a colourful past

And they said I've been troubled from the start

But before they try and judge a man's path

I'mma take em back to the start

When my mum died, it was hard

Caused a lot of cries and divides in my yard

1993, I was 9 and a half

And they put me in a home where they didn't give a ras

Foster parents were dishing out bare licks

And they got away with it, I swear they knew bare tricks

Fam, I ran away, I swear I took bare trips

I didn't tell a soul cause they didn't wanna hear it

20 years later, fuck it, I'mma air it

Secrets 'bout the system, fam I know a fair bit

Too many lies in the air, let me clear it

When Story of an Orphan drops, I'mma share it

[Hook: Mia Reynolds]

They don't know where we're coming from

Coming from, where we're coming from

They don't know where we're coming from

Coming from, where we're coming from

[Verse 2: Kyze]

They don't know where I'm coming from

So they won't know why I get my gully on

I'm a big baby, nothing funny don

You don't wanna be the one I spit my dummy on

Run up on a yout with a skully on

Hungry, said you're the one I'm getting chubby on

Should've had money from mummy gone

But my uncle stole it, real ting, money gone

I wanna back out the ting and blast on it

Take out my whole past on it

But my heart ain't that duck

And at the end of the day, I'm still a part of it

But I've still got memories

So I soon pass through like remember me

Remember that, I can't let it be

This family needs an assembly

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Kyze]

I'm guilty of dwelling on my past

And holding feelings that should've passed

It's no good for man's energy or heart

But oh, how the memories last

Cuh the journey's been eventful

Every single stage in the game's been mental

Right from the days when I played Nintendo

Up to the days when I moved 'caine in Central

Get the packs out, dazed, getting trap house paid

No rap, pounds made, back the MAC out face

Splashed out on grey, poured yack round graves

For the fallen names who got bored and blazed

We all saw them days when we warred and prayed

We was all in the game, we was all in the same

Youts calling my name, had court for a case

You man don't know shit when it comes to the pain

[Hook]
