[Intro]

Umu Beats, baby


[Verse 1: POETIK]

Poetik Suspekt, it's love when I come through

We on that Poly boy shit like, "What up, uce?" (What up?)

You at show, born to shine like the sun do (Sun do)

Think twice, some shit you just can't undo (Can't undo)

My pops taught me how to aim, how the gun move (Blak)

Death before dishonour, never speak the untruth (Facts)

I want peace but anyone could catch the one too (Anybody)

Don't hit girls but I beat the puss like kung fu (Ha-ha)

Ran through my city bare-footed, ask about me twice

Ghetto black birdie caged in this fast life

What they passed, thе glass pipe

Kids never act right, cops see thе skin tone

[?], I'm wonderin' where my king gone

How long will I be here for? How long these motherfuckin' tears pour?

Will they stop me for these red flags? Tryna get through heaven's door

One day I'll find out

Till then, it's Six-Eighty-Five, you know what I'm about


[Chorus: K.Kila]

I done came a long way trom havin' no name (Ooh)

To rappin' on stage

Yeah, I remember them days

I remember them days (Yeah)

From everything I been through

To what made me [?] to looking in your eyes

And telling you I had to do what I had to

So don't be speakin' on my [?]

You ain't never had to step in my shoes


[Verse 2: K.Kila]

Yo, I'm 6-8-3 to the bone and this lifestyle is all I know

When I had jack, I knew I had to get my hustle on

Sick of eating scraps so I started selling crack for dough

Started in the streets and started pushing through my front do'

Stayed in the heat and wasn't worried 'bout no 5-O

Was on the grind, going hard for survival

'Cause ain't nobody out here playing by the Bible

Had to keep the strap on my side for my rivals (Yeah)


[Chorus: K.Kila]

I done came a long way from havin' no name (Ooh)

To rappin' on stage

Yeah, I remember them days

I remember them days (Yeah)

From everything I been through

To what made me [?] to looking in your eyes

And telling you I had to do what I had to

So don't be speakin' on my [?]

You ain't never had to step in my shoes


[Verse 3: Skolar]

Uh, before I posted on the Internet

I was thirteen posted up at [?] sellin' single cigarettes

Racks saggin' so you could see the gang was in effect

Grab game and ran with it like [?] with the intercept

Mad shit, on my mission to stack chips

Ease the pain of bad trips with a bad bitch

Dawson, South Auckland the flagship

But you [?] the back so they put me in a bag, bitch

Still whoopin' (Whoop) on the stoop as an adolescent

Team slangin' green, had a dream to drive a Coup

Packin' kilos in the boot so all the troops could both eat

And feed their seeds since they watered their roots, ayy

I'ma feed the ones next to me

Shit, that's the goal until the death of me

It's gon' be harder than it seems to be but, yo, the dream is free

But the hustle sold separately, let's get it


[Chorus: K.Kila]

I done came a long way from havin' no name (Ooh)

To rappin' on stage

Yeah, I remember them days

I remember them days (Yeah)

From everything I been through

To what made me [?] to looking in your eyes

And telling you I had to do what I had to

So don't be speakin' on my [?]

You ain't never had to step in my shoes
