[Verse]
Can't learn this, it's just in you
Or maybe it's not, all I know is that this cloth is discontinued
But ain't nuttin 'bout me fabricated
I keep that fire like a Kindle, I'll send the duppy makers to come link you
While I'm billing spliffs back-to-back
Was never late and you can ask the cats
I was taught the rules and they were simple
Never turn your back on your bruddas, never snitch
Keep your stick and make sure you got sweets, not no Minstrels
In the trenches, I'm a symbol of resilience
Determination, dedication, discipline and diligence
Streets took my innocence, had to find my inner strength
'Cause in event of fight or flight, I won't fight, I'll make it fly
I looked her in her naked eye and seen she wants to take the pipe
If two wrongs don't make it right then take this left and cut the lights
Got it back in blood for mine
I had bed sheets for curtains, now a button opens up the blinds
Button on the back of this, it spits faster than Busta Rhymes
I'll never cross T but still cross my T's and dot my I's
I'm not surprised, I keep it real and what's my prize?
When I got my bird, they flew away and left me ostracised
Now my chain customised, reach for it, it'll cost your life
Yeah, bitch, I'm a gangster but I'm educated
They want me back visiting prisons like Reggie Yates did
My line was booming in Boro, I had two traps adjacent
But me and Nas spent hours bagging packs in Jason's
Pain demands to be felt, you don't get to choose
They showed me, still said, "Nah, that's not me", you know that Skepta tune?
We did swaps with the Leicester yutes but jakes still found the stick
That don't make sense like tryna drown a fish
If you don't like the sound of this, I guess this ain't for you then
I love when it's just you and I like I became a student
The grass ain't always greener so don't fall for that illusion
The confusion is they'd rather choose clout over clarity
Fuck I look like, plus I put on for the family
Was out trick-or-treating when I caught that case on Halloween
She asked me, "What does nala mean?", said, "Absolute insanity"
I spend these niggas' salaries on drones, on phones
Waps, hats and packs plus them lawyer fees
'Cause bro, I need my soldiers home
We spray painted it black 'cause the revolver's chrome
And I don't want it glinting on the camera when I'm chasing souls
Another case unsolved, they cut his face on sosh
You know I always get my lick back
We put belt to ass, boy, play, I'll drop a big bag
Fucked up the whip like I writ off when I try bring back
Went back to sticking niggas up like, "Where them things at?
Everybody get down and stay down until we leave"
It felt like a movie scene, he moved, I shot him in his knee
The industry ain't seen niggas like me since, wait, let me think
Bro introduced me to the link so I made him drink
Said she saw me up on Made You Think, it made her think of me
Thought about her treasure box and all the things she did to me
But anyway, shh ain't even like that, he a kid to me
Won't say his name and give him clout, he already did the sprint from me
I paid shh to spin for me and he brought me back the empty casings
But don't believe what I'm saying, it's just entertainment
