Ostracised

[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
