Lyrics

Yo, my speech ill, from these streets where we deal

With heartache to dark flake and E pills

My steez still one of a kind, other rappers they try

It's apparent that they ain't quite what we feel

So speak real or don't bother with your rapping

I ain't seeking cheap thrills, I seek what you can't imagine

Fed up of the same old patterns and fake actions

Strange havoc just changed my strange habits

From bait trapping to yea racking, we embrace madness

But as of late I can't manage, the manor ain't attractive

We seek papes to live lavish

Spending days dazed 'til them same days vanish

What a way to live, lacking balance or compassion

Damaged by my actions and mistakes I hid

From the home of the complacent kids that came up quick

And never truly learnt why they hate the pigs

Burning bridges for the sake of it

Got nothing in return but the hate from the mates I licked

To my amazement I ain't changed one bit

These grey pavements raised me, did my best but things were shaky

Tryna stay legit, never caught a case, I'm slick

Take a risk and aim to win, just hope that they don't cage you in

We play with jinns, rolling dice in a game of sin

'Cause we all pay a price for the ways we live

Ain't fazed by this, my only aim's to do better

While you fight the weather with scuds and a can of Stella

Amongst some bredders who don't realise

There's more to life than cheddar

I hold my head up when I feel I'm close to getting fed up

I'm inclined to stay rhyming through my every endeavour

Me, I ought to find suttin' I can treasure

I ought to find suttin' I can treasure

But now's not the time, I guess I'll find out when I've met her

Ain't nothing changed, drop my pain on papes

I crave escape but can't seem to make the break

In a grey cityscape, living day to day

These stains remain, I'm chained to the same old paves

Ain't nothing changed, drop my pain on papes

I crave escape but can't seem to make the break

In a grey cityscape, living day to day

These stains remain, I'm chained to the same old paves

Keep my feet to the curb, breathing worth in each verse

My speech heard from these streets where we speak and observe

Concrete scenes where I learnt to reason with words

As a teen burning merch, seeking Ps we yearned

From the burdens of a love lost, dealt a lot worse

The cost paid but a loss earned

Sipping Voss, watching clocks turn, facing regret

Patient but yet, waiting for the day to accept

What it means to truly change and embrace my mess

Instead of wasting away to the hate in my head

That I'm too afraid to shake or ashamed to vent

Ain't content, living without aim and depth

Still stain pages to maintain and claim respect

So what's next? I'll chase checks when the time's right

Until then I grips pen 'til my rhyme tight

Composing sounds from the ends under night skies

This mic's mine for me to right my wrongs

Cries of a life lived through idle bonds

From times we'd long now gone, kept alive in songs

Eyes on the future, now it's time to move on

I'll prove wrong those who doubt what the crew's on

Can't afford to lose, moving ahead

Truthfully blessed, improving and just doing my best

For the sake of the music and the movement we set

My truth is immense, spew what I view as correct

Any mic, many might, but they losing I bet

Plenty times I felt strife, had me losing my head

Got me thinking that it's time to put the boozing to rest

I'll invest in what I possess

And keep at it with a passion, not just rapping

Tryna manage all I haven't left

Damaged by these patterns, I can't balance yet

Damaged by these patterns, I can't badness yet

Ain't nothing changed, drop my pain on papes

I crave escape but can't seem to make the break

In a grey cityscape, living day to day

These stains remain, I'm chained to the same old paves

Ain't nothing changed, drop my pain on papes

I crave escape but can't seem to make the break

In a grey cityscape, living day to day

These stains remain, I'm chained to the same old paves
