[Verse]

How can I care about their path? I took the harder route

Lost some brothers on the way I make dua about

Heart bleeding, grab the Rambo and carve it out

Fifty pence, try turn that to half a pound

Never fed a pigeon but I played with birdies

Failed exams but I got the paper early

Never thought we'd make it to our thirties

Kill one of mine, when you die, I just pray that it's dirty

Young'un in a ski mask, never seen a slope

Now he on the yard till he see parole

Label meeting, talking numbеrs, gotta keep composed

Streets telling me thеy seen the growth

End up with a ho, true, I find it hard to sleep alone

Lifers on the phone, I hear the prison in their tone

Kids they're soon home but they ain't even close

Type of shit make you put down your pole

Give your mum a hug just to let her know that it's love and you're grateful

Streets feel like life in an escape room

Hundred M's, I'm going AWOL

Stick and an eight ball way before I played pool

News said critical, I was hoping it was fatal

Never let a hard time phase you

Never ask a bitch what she bringing to the table

Note to self, "I hope the money don't change you"

Yeah, that's what they tell you when you're broke

One look at your squad, I bet I tell you who gon' fold

Every single one of them

These bitches feel more cosy in the Cullinan

I'm Guyanese, I like the roti with the curry in

High speeding in the motor with the suttin in

He got popped with his toaster, he was shuffling

Clown ass nigga, you ain't a killer, you was better off juggling

Every day I'm hustling, she held a four and a baby, she my surrogate

Voice of the streets and for the sufferers

Used to be a hundred deep, now look what's become of us

I just wanna ball, fuck the summer up

I just want it all, I need enough to pull my brother up

My shit hit like a jab and an uppercut

Bottles can't done, pour another cup

Spin the main block and the other one

Let off one shot then another shot

Truth is, we got enough to let a hundred off

We can go all day like an omnibus

See the nose on the four, I wish you saw how long it was

I got life in that court, I wish you saw how strong I was

Praising the Most High while I'm cuffed to the officers

I ain't a gangster, I'm a warrior

Forget an iPhone, we really grossed more off them Nokia's

I don't care about the trends or what's popular

I don't care about your likes or your followers

I've been that guy since '05, do I gotta state the obvious?

These young bodies get collected by the coroners

More skeletons than Audemars

Served on the corner and I did the corridor

I seen 'em serve all that time for drug crimes, come home and be a courier

Truth is, I respect it though

Is what it is, you gotta get it, bro

Before the streets wash you up, you gotta let it go

I hate when man fall out and you gotta get involved

It's hard to pick a side when deep down you love 'em both

I be with the ones I love the most

They run their mouth like an egg when you cut the yolk

Catch a case with your nigga, he might cut your throat

I chose Sosa over Tony cah he touched the coke

Make that raw shit stretch like it's touching toes

A killer said he's proud of me and it touched my soul

Couldn't pin the murder on me so they bugged the phone

Can't call pest control when they bug your home

Hit a snitch in his ear, right above the lobe

All that shit that he heard, he shoulda never spoke

And we don't bend, we don't break and we don't ever fold

It's all real, man, that's all I know
