My Story

What the fuck's goin' on?

Lock the door, lock the door

This is my story

This is my story

Came from radio, it was late

Let the car, went straight to my gate

Head straight, didn't even look left

Got my key out, started hearin' footsteps

Right over my shoulder

Had to act fast, I can hear them getting closer

Tryna to keep calm and put my key into the door

Thinking to myself if I don't make it then it's over

I don't know know I managed it

Ran into my mums room panickin'

Mum shoutin' at me, "Carl, what's happenin'?"

Carl shoutin' at me, "Carl, what's happenin'?"

How the hell did I get in this?

Tryna to hold the door, but it's comin' off the hinges

Somebody wake me up from this dream now

Then I hear a gunshot and my mom scream out

Somebody come and save the day

Somebody take this pain away

How can I ask God for help now when I ain't even prayed today?

Is this how my life ends?

Nowhere to run, no place to hide in

Carl ran out the room tryna fight them

Two more gunshots, everything's silent

Mum ran downstairs, she's cryin'

And I can't move a muscle but I'm tryin'

Prayin' for an ambulance but I can't hear a siren

She said he's shot, I hope she's lyin'

I hear her shoutin' out for help, I think he's dyin'

I'm thinkin', why him?

Was it wrong place, wrong timin'?

I see him at he bottom of the stairs

Mum shakin' while the neighbors tryna save him, heart racin'

Wishin' I could disappear

And it should've been me, but it's him lyin' there

And I know it isn't fair

I phone Skanks, phone Shook, my whole body's in shock

I couldn't even shed a tear

Trapped in this nightmare, how did I get here?

This is my story

All the pain, all the things, fallin' on me

All the blood, sweat and tears, but don't worry

Flashin' lights, see my life flash before me

This is my story

This is my story

Woke up to a ping on my Blackberry

It was a message from Kone sayin'

Somebody tried to kill me and got my family

I rubbed my eyes, is this a dream or reality?

Kone said, "Krept, who the fuck was this mad at me?"

God, how we gonna solve this catastrophe?

Then God gave us Otis, It was a blessin' from Him

'Cause it stopped us from goin', gettin' reckless on him

Thinkin' to quit music

Thinkin' to go and do somethin' stupid

But things fell into place and started improvin'

That's why I say the music chose us, we didn't choose it

Bearin' in mind Kone started from scratch

Feds took his house, money, clothes, he never had jack

Then I got a call from Vash, he told us the plan, so we got up in the lab

Then things started to pick up even more

Skepta hollered at me, said that we should come on tour

Skepta don't even realize what he did for us

Well, if you're listenin', thank you for help fixin' us

From the tour, all these shows started comin' in

Back on our feet now, the money started floodin' in

Invested in clothes, our money started doublin'

Now so much for strugglin'

Watchin' Kones gettin' back up on his feet

Thinkin', how is he copin'? I couldn't if it was me

Now Play Dirty's on the up, fuckin' up the streets

Every day a new city that we reach

But even though we turn around and miss

I'm sittin' in my yard thinkin' that I could be next

Thinkin' did I give anyone this address?

That shit that happen to Kone still playin' in my head

Thinkin' bout the day it happened, when I saw his mum

And she told me, "Please look after my son"

Not a single tear on her face showin'

Even though I know her heart's broken

Stayin' strong even though we're stressin'

'Cause she lost her husband, and that bein' her second

That's why the music is a must to us

Kone is gonna make it up to her

This is my story

All the pain, all the things fallin' on me

All the blood, sweat, and tears, but don't worry

Flashing lights, see my life flash before me

This is my story

This is my story

All the pain, all the things, fallin' on me

All the blood, sweat and tears but don't worry

Flashing lights, see my life flash before me
