[Verse]

Fine line between love and hate

Don't know why we divide 'em

Truthfully they're just one in the same

We all got feelings, but we try and hide 'em

Couple times I've contemplated killin' my folks

'Cause I got no idols, every single one is a rival

Part the seas like my name's Poseidon

More like Moses, free my people 'cause they been hopeless

Turn your back on me? Tyron won't noticе, he's too focused

Only bread whеre the loaf is, fear of loathin'

I been ghostin', I been posted, clocked what they're postin'

Man, I'm sick of posin', see what the coke did

I been to hell and back, came back on track

Couldn't out my flame, I done told you that

Rub dirt on my name like it won't come back

I got no one to blame, so I gotta come back

In my phone, I got bare contacts

Not many I ring, save that for one fing

Not one I owe 'cause I play my role, got a voice, so I sing

If I went pen', be the biggest in Bing', they'll call me, "King"

Still roll with the same friends from the same ends

True, I got scars, but they mend

Grew up 'round wastemen, blazin' acres

Chasin' status, fucked up shit in my cranium

Fears of failing, but I ain't bailing

Aunt prays for me, I can't even say, "Amen"

See me as a stat? I agree with that

Been a statistic, caught in a system, constantly wishin'

No one will hold me back, that's why I sold crack

Too black for the white, too white for the black

Changin' my life, I'm tryna get plaques

Can't have the hump like a camel's back

Roll through on a thump with Lloyd on the back

Ends was a dump, find treasure in trash

Down in the dumps, I shouldn't play with a pump

When I'm stayin' at Mum's, lump sum conundrums

Somebody gets robbed, you weren’t there when it gets on top

Not the dog in the fight, it's the fight in the dog

Knock on wood that my family's good

When I'm stayin' at cat's, slangin' this bujj

Sleepin' on a mattress, had a couple crops in attics

Door got buss, lost the crops, it's a madness

All of my dosh down the drain, that's tragic

Can't complain, I got out, get it back in

One tracksuit on the train

New passage in my journal, man get curbed, though

One time I sold Jonny Persil

Don't come back 'cause you're gonna get hurt, bro, huh?

Don't put a rat in the corner

Been down, been out but I never been surer

Check my account, wouldn't believe I was poor once

But that's not important

Drown in the deep end, rather find a snorkel

Stuck in my head, I'm tryna find a portal

So I daydream, feel immortal

Even though life's been awful

Could be better if there weren't no courtrooms

Pent up aggression, had no one to talk to

See it when I walk through, slowthai been a bruk yout'

Can't ever get comfortable 'cause I never had nothin', bro

And I always been fuckin' slow so I won't cuff a ho

This one's for my brothers that ain't comin' home
