Had to get down on my knees

Pray as I search for a deeper connection

I'm taking my time

It's not just speed, man, you need a direction

Feels like nothing ain't sweet

Plus I ain't getting no sleep cah I'm stressing

Got me a legal profession

Bro got done for illegal possession

That's how we were raised

That's life on a council estate

When I get out of the hood, I'll write me a book called "How to Escape"

Feel like I'm trapped in a cage

My mind ain't letting me free

The ends ain't letting me go

The smoke ain't letting me breathe

Still I found me a cheat code

Found flaws in the system

Score and assist 'em

Give the weedman scores for the wisdom

Caught me a high, caught me a vibe, then I caught an addiction

Fillin' up draws in the crib just to hide I was billin' up draws in the kitchen

I hit, then I relax

I quit, then I relapse

It's lit, but it's harmful

Mum said lead by example

It's hard, but I try to

Gotta get packs on arrival

Bro just came with an 8 ball

Could have went halves on a bible

It's hard to complain

Things won't change when it's part of a cycle

It's hard for Jermaine on the road, but it's easy for Charlie and Michael

Ask me why I don't speak

It ain't easy to talk when you're poor, bro

Talk ain't cheap

Send me a text and I'll send you my sort code

I ain't down for pretending, so I ain't down to attend the award shows

I need bread for the rent, g, I ain't tryna put Fendi in wardrobes

Feel like the devil's at work

Go to the church, bathe in the water

When I talk to her pops, I can tell that he loves I'm dating his daughter

I'm placing an order

Should touch down by the end of the week

**** tried sell me a dream

Joke's on you cah I kept the receipt

Feel like the devil's at work

Go to the church, bathe in the water

When I talk to her pops, I can tell that he loves I'm dating his daughter

I'm placing an order

Should touch down by the end of the week

**** tried sell me a dream

Joke's on them cah I kept the receipt
