[Verse 1]

I know this one young boy from the way

He done time but he come without play

Try tell him that crime don’t pay (Try tell him that crime don’t pay)

Plus he’s on edge ‘cause they know where he stay

He was outside tryna get roads taped

Coulda chilled in Netflix with bae

Bae, bae, bae, bae, bae

But now he’s ten toes, Ten toes from the jakes

In and out of drums Putting hands on papes

Lookin at his mates’ but he can’t see snakes

In a hot seat Getting’ playback tapes

Shoulda seen the look on that young boo’s face

Was the same don he gave half his plate

[Chorus]

Tell me what your life's like

Mine was kinda calm, 'til I dabbled in some knife fights

Lot of nights like, late night you could lose your eyesight

And his head don’t speak no roof for the right price

Let me know what your life’s like

[Verse 2]

Now he's got beef with the rest of the zones

Should've been one, but the rest condoned

Guess it could tell how friend turned foe

And it's mad, he started that gang on his own

Always before the first whistle got blown

There goes the hood, coming up off a phone

They harboured a snitch and everyone knows

Try and live life like everything's rose

He got grub, but it's stuffed with oats

He's finding it hard to make P on the roads

I dunno why he can't be by the code

They had no choice but to flee up the road

[Chorus]

Tell me what your life's like

Mine was kinda calm, 'til I dabbled in some knife fights

Lot of nights like, late night you could lose your eyesight

And his head, don’t speak know it all for the right price

Let me know what your life’s

[Verse 3]

Remember that one young boy from the ends

He's grown up, he don't know about friends

Spent most time in and out for skengs

Caught wings, got the low-down on them

They thought they were safe the other side of the Thames

But I'm taking shots, this ain't no average lens

Long story short, all that way-back-when

Didn't cross his mind when he slapped off ten

Save one for the feds, hopped in that Benz

Left right left, now he's doing up legs

Adrenaline pump watch him jumps that fence

When the sequel drops, here 'dis one ends

[Chorus]

Tell me what your life's like

Mine was kinda calm, 'til I dabbled in some knife fights

Lot of nights like, late night you could lose your eyesight

And his head, don’t speak know it all for the right price

Let me know what your life’s

Tell me what your life's like

Mine was kinda calm, 'til I dabbled in some knife fights

Lot of nights like, late night you could lose your eyesight

And his head, don’t speak know it all for the right price

Let me know what your life’s like
