Ashes are burning brightly

The smoke can be seen from afar

So now you're seeing how far

Ashes are burning the way

Ashes are burning—

Yo

Fuck a plan B cah the plan A be workin'

A question to the ones that left, was it worth it?

Since you left me, you're doin' worse, what's your purpose?

When they killed our darg, all the **** we scored was worthless

Thirty **** in them vids

Ten **** ran and quit

Ten of them wrapped by pigs

The other ten be half in and half out

If it weren't for hoes and emotion, would you blast out?

Tell me why you're really in this shit, what's your heart 'bout?

Bis heard a **** speak on Latts, thought how could he?

Then he set it on him real quick, like what's goody?

Then he lost his life cah he stood up on some business

Trully, he'll still be alive if he was pussy

The olders tried to give us some advice

But we never listened, we was caught up in the hype

I'm pickin' up broken pieces, tryna make this shit right

I'm the one that motivates them young **** all the time

'Cause I ain't have it then

Used to tell granddad, "Fuck school," I was trappin' then

Then I went jail, and I got rich off a pad and pen

Amount of times I blew my advance, and went broke again

I still gave grands when they called and said they're low again

**** feel entitled when they do a little block work

How you envy me, darg?

I've been on this block first

I know you heard the sayin' though

First come, first served

Been through every hurdle, you gave up on your third bird

High speed with Warz, I see him crash, I was near death

Couldn't even cry when Migo died, I had no tears left

Heard that there is love in a hood, it don't live here then

Mama prays for me cah she know I don't fear them

Feds put my dargs in a cage, let me abbreviate

The opps put my darg down, they both RSPCA

Gave my bro a ****, two birds, he ain't appreciate

When he caught his bird, he walk up like fuck Ski today

Ashes are burning brightly

The smoke can be seen from afar

So now you're seeing how far

Ashes are burning the way

Ashes are burning—

They always tell me that I'm wrong when I say no to favours

They're like a journalist, tellin' lies over paper

When my **** done me wrong, and I let him back

There ain't no ho in my blood, but felt like Jayda Wayda

Nights in my cell, I made a plan to get richer

I know **** so broke, they started schemin' on their ****

Know a lot of gangster rappers that ain't pressin' on no triggers

When my stepper said he quittin', man, that shit gave me shivers

I just left the life as they was neighbourhood heroes

When they comin' home, it feel like England winnin' Euros

I just pray these **** don't try me in my city

'Cause I don't tuck chains, I turn your three points to zero

If heaven had a phone, my **** probably be on DND

Thinkin' why the **** **** wanna speak to me

How you stop carin' 'bout my soul, what's the reason, G?

'Cause when I was alive, them man never could have beef with me

There is a reason I can't look into my **** mum's eyes

Knowin' she just wants a reason why her fuckin' son died

I can't tell her about the works and how he really loved slide

He was steppin' so much, you **** do it sometimes

And I just think, if you left the war to me, you're dead, bro

**** quit on us before we even bought his headstone

I guess they want the soft life, settle with a red bone

Meanwhile I'm stayin' 'round the gunners like Zinchenko

If you are not with me, hope you left it on a good note

**** like to envy and not speak it, that's the hood though

The youngest ones will hate me if they knew that we the reason that their babies turn demon in the trench tryna cook folk

Protect them like they're winter

My baby girl don't know her dad's a real big sinner

I don't know if you mean it, you was with me, how you give up?

Look, so many want me gone, I can't slip up

Ashes are burning brightly

The smoke can be seen from afar

So now you're seeing how far

Ashes are burning the way

Ashes are burning the way
