Lyrics

Used to work at HomeServe

Now he's out serving Homes

Used to wear a headset

Now he just answers the phone

From West Brom to whatever the sat-nav shows

Up and down the high-street doing up road

Gang affiliated

But there all his cousins and bro's

Weekend catch man at Busby's

Or Marksman before man went to Fox

Around angry man that would question

"Where you from, what you on?"

Started a line with Fleki, got work

But never worked on working the work off

So told bro, "keep it," locked it off

Shortly after J1 and Cease got locked

Realised for a long term gain

Sometimes you might haffi take a short term loss

Stopped shotting gave music a shot

It was all or nothing like the Amazon Doc

Had more or less nothing, cuz the profit was gone

Princess was just about 1

Broke up with her mom

But kept the faith strong

Would go to oxygen rooms

And get his mix-downs from Rob

Put out Brum Town's Finest

Some didn't like it, linked GrimeBlog

Then things got exciting

Got man writing for him so he's gotta stay writing

No car, no money, no job

Plus too much pride to go back to moms

It was Dom who linked him with Tom

Made Straight Up Remix', Gotta Do Me'

Okay' and them type of songs

Built up that type of bond

Knew it was a 'Matter Of Time'

Catching the 51 and 529

To Wolverhampton to record with Choppz

Now there in Magaluf with Skeppy

R.I.P Deppy 2Real

Arrr, yeah, he was killing this shit

That's one holiday his glad he never missed

From day one knew he would of been big

All over pride and jealousy

Still think about your legacy

Kyle and CS helped man

Switch up the energy

Dropped 3's a crowd

Dealt with infidelity

2014 Linked Jaykae and made Froggy EP

Told sound boys if they feel Froggy then leap

Locked in with the locksmith all week

The one who gave Swifta

The name SwiftaBeater

Known each-other since they was 15

He would go Quinton on the 103

Fast forward Swifta's in StayFresh

Man stayed solo somewhere inbetween

Invasion alert and the livewire 3

Man Reunited in 015

Mortal Kombat, back to back

With Tempa, known Tempz from

Community centre, from last donz and NODB

Shook and reluctant to drop Murdah

But came to cause a scene in the scene

Gave princess a sweet 16

She was only 5 years old

Adjusting to the parent role

Then he learnt 'bout PhePhe's pregnancy

Two different moms, is he ready?

They're at war with each other already

Plus he ain't even got no reddies

Immature and so unsure

Broke down till he had a good talk with the Lord

Next thing you know, his on Kano's tour

Yo, bad man ting

Boy and a girl one of each and ting

City to city, from town to town

From lamppost to lamppost mans active

Taught man all about stage presence and crowd control

Inspired at the side of the stage

Thinking he can't wait till he get's back home

Told management that his gotta do his own headline show

Moving mean and clean like he just went and got a Mini Vale

Didn't panic when man never had it

Just thought let's have it

Now look how we have it

1Xtra in rush hour traffic

Then it was Made Festival

Made for this, he put on a spectacle

On point straight to the decimal

Filmed an advert for Nissan

And got a nice Volkswagen

Used to wear nothing but Luke

Now it's Trapstar, large up Ping for the pattern

Music was moving fine

But his real life weren't at the time

Got complacent and dropped the batten

So mistakes were destined to happen

Yo, it's the moment that he's been waiting for

Now he's about to sign

Champion settings, but he don't feel like a champion inside

Shortly after grandad died

Gave a big speech at the funeral

Telling the family that they should unite

Shed tears that day and let the doves fly

Meanwhile him and his girl ain't getting on

They ain't together now back and fourth at his moms

Had pride back in the day, but that prides gone

His Indenial but she started getting strong

Enough to talk to someone it hurt him

Try play victim, but it weren't working

Cuz he was outside moving like vermin

Karma came said hi hun

Went to hug, and then firmed him

Walking around with a chip on his shoulder

Till he brushed it off and kept working

Told Cian don't think this is working

Asked to leave the label, told them he's grateful

But knew deep down in his heart

He was willing and able to become financially stable

Thought it was a sign to get signed

But looking back he was doing just fine

2020 new year new vision

Ironic his first release was called waiting'

He was tryna gather up listens

Got his uncle assisting the mission

Pheleba's pregnant again

But this time things are so different

Took the fam on a 5 day break

And escaped before the covid outbreak

On the beach in the sand with a spade

Touchdown safe and sound

Sound the alarm cuz it looks as tho

Spotify put his face as GrimeShutdown

Removed all fear and doubt

Took a while but his figured it out

Appreciate your own journey

I wish I realised that from early
