We're All Alone

I remember when I used to be innocent

Ain't shit changed, I'm a young black belligerent

Child of an immigrant

Lifestyle frivolous

'Round here we keep bad company cah them people pay dividends

What's the point of being rich when your family ain't?

It's like flying first class on a crashing plane

Dinners with the same ****, just higher bills

And all the models Himalayan, they got higher heels

You know we're all alone in this together, right?

(Quiet on set, places everybody)

You know the seats in the Aston red leather like

(And action) Yeah

I had dreams of doing architecture

Or sitting through a Harvard lecture

How the fuck I end up being Harvey Specter?

Young black art collector, I can take the pressure

Had scales, now suits that come made to measure

I drew the thin line between love and hate, double date

What you drinking? Let me cut the games

Backstab a man, I'd rather that you cut my face

If I ain't charming the women, it's all the fucking snakes

You idolise the girl, there's no way I wife her

She only fucks with rich ****, that's the way I like it

I can't fabricate the truth, it's just the way I write it

You've got points on your creative license

Ask Rapz, that's a criminal graduating in civil law

Nothing ain't civil 'bout this Civil War

Grip a four, Gryffindor

This will have you lying on your chest

I've got 99 marks and wasn't trying on my test, I'm blessed

(Why?)

Because the pasta is gamberoni

The watch is a classic Rollie

The pussy is sacred

It's holy like matrimony

I'm paying her alimony

To numb all the acrimony

The flight is to Santorini

The car is a Lamborghini

The cheese, the cheddar

The mozzarella, the fettuccine

The only aim

Look at my ego in the day in a life

And see what happens when you got the fucking game in a vice

We're all alone

I got a message from a kid on Sunday morning

Said he don't know what to do and that he's thinking of killing himself

Me and him got more in common than he thinks

But I tell him to see a shrink so I can go on and live with myself

I knew that my life was a film

From when I had to share a bed with my mum and I was pissing myself

I just want my flowers while I'm here

So I can put them at the front of my grave that I've been digging myself

I grew up in a two-bed flat with seven people living with me

You don't know what I did for myself

My mum's the one that gave me opportunities

And put me in positions that I couldn't of pictured myself

We're from Nigeria, Benin City, Sin City

Don't know what it's like? Take a trip for yourself

Poverty is killing us, the government's killing us

If they ain't killing us then we're killing ourselves

I will die for the **** I love

My life is full of plot-holes and I'm filling 'em up

I told mummy I ain't nothing like my father

I'ma show her there is a different definition to love

I tell my fans we're all alone in this together, you can trust me

All the shit that you've been feeling, you're feeling with me

We all took the wrong turns on different streets

We all cry the same tears on different cheeks

I got a message from a kid on Monday morning

Said he's grateful I responded and he's feeling at peace with himself

Me and him got more in common than he thinks

But I tell him it's nothing big so I can go on and live with myself

I knew that God would cast me as a lead in something special

When he messaged me and told me that I had saved his life

In 23 years I had done so much wrong

But in that moment I just felt like I had made it right
