Lyrics

It's the same picture from a different perspective
You don't know what you've got until it's all that you're left with
Gambled with my life, what d'you know about a death wish?
No genie in a bottle, rely on no one to get rich
The way I get it is try, fail and try again
In my time I paid some visits to the lion's den
Living in a village got me mixing in with violent men
Violent when it's necessary, silent when the stress is heavy
Making moves with purpose, you can dial 'em when the chess is ready
Breaking through the surface, I'll
Be climbing 'til I'm dead and buried
Can't lay me to rest, I'll still be grinding in a cemetery
The one who's tryna make it, the one who didn't stop
I'm the one who's seen the bottom but I'm yet to see the top
I'm the one who learned it early what it means to take a loss
Everyone wants to be someone but no one'll pay the cost
I make my music just to see where it takes me
I've never cared, opinions don't phase me
Either way I'm gonna do it 'til it's done
With people beside me or I'll do it on my own
I make my music just to see where it takes me
I've never cared, opinions don't phase me
Either way I'm gonna do it 'til it's done
With people beside me or I'll do it on my own
Woke up this morning, decided it's time to win again
You know what's autumn, combining the rhymes within a pen
The soul is northern but the mind and spirit's village made
Bigger wage is why I'm exhausted but I'm still awake
I've came a long way from spitting bars in my bedroom
I'd smoke a bit of something just to get a little headroom
Been at the pen for hours, I should probably get to bed soon
They slept on me for years and now I'm rapping like the rent's due
All I ever wanted was respect for the craft
To leave enough for my two sons and have some left in the bank
To pursue it 'til it's done and there's no questions left to ask
I'm undisputed as the one who put Durham on the map
'Cause every verse is therapy I don't have time to pay for
Mind's a minefield, careful what you put your weight on
Product of the environment, it's what I put the blame on
If you could get inside of it, wonder how long you'd stay for
I make my music just to see where it takes me
I've never cared, opinions don't phase me
Either way I'm gonna do it 'til it's done
With people beside me or I'll do it on my own
I make my music just to see where it takes me
I've never cared, opinions don't phase me
Either way I'm gonna do it 'til it's done
With people beside me or I'll do it on my own
