Lyrics
I just need some time I'm trying to think straight
I just need a moment in my own space
Ask me how I'm doing I say ok
But ain't that what we all say
Sometimes I think back to the old days
In the pointless conversations with the old me
Back when my mumma used to hold me
I wish somebody would of told me
If you want love
You see I grew up in place
Where we never had alot
We made do with what we had Out here trying to connect the dots
By any means necessary to get up out the block
Calculate why we're here and work out what is what
But sometimes the story twists it has a plot
I got that phone call it said my mother's heart stopped
Then cancer took my dad and life got on top
My ex fucked me over I got knicked by the cops
Now what'd you know about awake
I ain't talking staying up till late with your mates crushing powder on a plate
Now what'd you now about a wake
Seven family members in the ground
That's one deeper than six foot
You must wonder why I pray
Whe I talk about awake im talking how I start my day
Manifest workhard smash my goals and then I play
If I had to lay it on a plate I've come a custom to the taste
But still it's all love my g no hate
Take a seat learn a lesson like your getting held up
I was raised in hell city why I raise my Ls up
And I'm rawer than a rizla when I'm rolling Ls up
Made the cut by being bold like a razor held up
Half these mcs got no drive they need to raise their Ls up
They couldn't clash me on these tracks
I'm like bloodyell look
Stop it with them accents it's dreadfull
You're ginger You're from England most this shits just disrespectful
I've had it up to ear they got me pissed I've had a neckfull
Like I don't mean to judge but it's a comp You're getting heckled
I said I'm coming bald with lines but still I got a head full
And if we're talking chronic just know I got a hedge full
One of my five a days yea I went to veg school
Fruity little mcs all just beg it while I get drool
Beggars
I just need some time I'm trying to think straight
I just need a moment in my own space
Ask me how I'm doing I say ok
But ain't that what we all say
Sometimes I think back to the old days
In the pointless conversations with the old me
Back when my mumma used to hold me
I wish somebody would of told me
If you want love
See I could never lose I'm just built to win
And I dont care if you like me I'm still getting it
I'll be out here just like a veteran
Born in eighties that's the place that raised me I'm not forgetting it
Everything I went through in life I went through struggling
I don't really care like the Irish money's doubling
I'm just tryna get that big bit the bubble in
I don't really know about you but I'm on thuggy things
I'll be getting in hands dirty on mucky things
Little puppies round here start barking duppy him
Told ya that it's Tanz upon the mic
And when I got that spliff I light it be smoking on that hazy all night
See I can do this music maybe I could show you
You could be a student we do this very fluent
But no more playing truant it's a mother fucking movement
I mutate on this like a mutant
Now what'd you know about believing in yourself
Or even reaching out for help when your left bleeding on the shelf
You gotta stand up and decide if this is heaven or its hell
Ain't no time to sit and dwell let um have it give them hell
If it rains let it pour I'll still be on my grind
After rain comes the sun I feel it's time to shine
This mad sound I'll embrace it not afraid to face it
Walk a mile in my shoe's you couldn't tie my laces
Face it you're basic all that shit you're saying
Man it gets replaced quick erased quick
Your not like me hard work dedicated
Your not like me hard work dedicated
I'm tryna lock this shut down like the basement
Get um
I just need some time I'm trying to think straight
I just need a moment in my own space
Ask me how I'm doing I say ok
But ain't that what we all say
Sometimes I think back to the old days
In the pointless conversations with the old me
Back when my mumma used to hold me
I wish somebody would of told me
If you want love
