[00:00.32] Like man was saying, bruv
[00:02.43] Many nights man prayed, bruv
[00:06.67] Somewhere someone's gonna help me through this, man
[00:11.26] Someone is gonna help bring me out of this shit, y'know?
[00:15.12] Time, it took a while for man to recognise, boy, who you were gonna send
[00:24.73] And you know what? Mans, I'm very proud
[00:27.98] I'm very happy to see it's one of my own init, y'know?
[00:31.60] And boy, I know none of this is easy, y'know?
[00:36.91] I'm just proud to be, to be witnessing what's going on, man, y'know?
[00:43.58]
[00:49.13] Look
[00:50.67] I don't know where to start
[00:53.57] But I just done my first psychodrama
[00:56.70] And I hope the world hears my craft
[00:58.83] I'm excited man, I pray you get to hear my craft
[01:01.59] From our childhood, our mother didn't hear me laugh
[01:04.58] I'm presenting you the future, I don't fear my past
[01:07.27] I ain't got a tattoo anywhere near my arms
[01:10.04] But best believe on my sleeves is where I wear my heart
[01:12.94] Do you know how easy it is to be a sinner?
[01:15.45] How many losses you need before you can be a winner?
[01:18.28] Reason with a criminal that needs to eat a dinner
[01:21.15] Is it survival of the fittest or is he a killer?
[01:24.29] Losing dad was big, losing you was even bigger
[01:26.68] Never had a father and I needed you to be the figure
[01:29.73] We're forgetting that we had a brother that was even bigger
[01:32.56] We were figures just tryna figure out who could be a figure
[01:37.01] My brothers never spoke to each other when I was growing up
[01:41.28] I remember tryna to build a bridge, I wasn't old enough
[01:43.79] I pray I hold the game for as long as you man can hold a grudge
[01:47.01] Years went by, I know it's fucked
[01:48.58] I had to hold it up for mummy on my own
[01:50.50] I know it's tough, I got the coldest blood
[01:52.56] I remember when you got sentenced and I was throwing up
[01:55.15] It's like they took a piece of my freedom when I had opened up
[01:58.35] I just lost the only fucking person that I idolised
[02:00.97] For my entire life, I copied you down to the finest line
[02:03.87] Bro, I got a flame in my mind I'm trying to firefight
[02:06.64] The pill I had to swallow wasn't bitter, it was cyanide
[02:09.57] I learn over time, separation issues I describe
[02:12.48] Are probably the reasons that I struggle feeling anything
[02:15.29] I ain't got a vision of a marriage or a wedding ring
[02:18.03] It's world domination in music or it ain't anything
[02:20.83] I'm obsessed, focused on the objective
[02:23.69] Tell a don yes, disagree, I object
[02:25.97] Used to treat my women like an object
[02:28.13] Girls want a monster, come and see I'm the Loch Ness
[02:31.07] Settle for a lot less
[02:32.32] I just hope you're proud of me brother, it's been a long stretch
[02:35.47] You're my hero and prior to this
[02:37.80] I was living on the edge like a house on a cliff
[02:40.58] But now I'm living in the present like my house was a gift
[02:43.33] I'm going psycho, this scene's mine bro
[02:46.16] Rappers wanna diss me, it's only online though
[02:48.87] They put the mic and soft in the micro
[02:51.52] Soft? Not I, bro
[02:53.20] Swimming's the only time I can lie though
[02:55.44] And lemme be genuine
[02:56.73] Anybody rich my age is American, kicking ball or inherited
[03:00.57] It only makes sense I'm independent
[03:02.82] Knowing everything it happened, how I'm telling it
[03:05.34] You niggas aren't getting it
[03:06.65] I'm coming from the struggle, I survived and I'm still here
[03:09.54] Used to bump trains that's two ways, I don't feel fear
[03:12.60] I don't know trust, I know a tight bond will tear
[03:15.29] Like a good wig, I can't tell you if it's real here
[03:18.20] I'm from south London, brother, people getting killed here
[03:20.96] You can make a mill' but you can lose it if you're still here
[03:23.86] I lost over 30 grand to family, I'm still here
[03:26.54] The word don't appeal to me, you steal from me, I'm still here
[03:29.45] Bro, I wasn't made for this
[03:30.94] I don't get a break, but I'm aware of what breaking is
[03:33.72] I wish you could take a hint as well as you can take the piss
[03:36.67] I don't even speak to our brother, man, I just pray for him
[03:39.59] It's never too late for him
[03:40.80] Life is at it's craziest, walls started caving in
[03:43.75] All the things I've seen would turn a theist, atheist
[03:46.71] I didn't get 99 marks in English, I was faking it
[03:49.48] I got 98 'cause I don't know what a vacation is
[03:55.17] If you saw God, what would you say to him?
[03:58.57] If given the chance, would you have taken it?
[04:01.37] If you could rewind time, what would you change in it?
[04:04.34] Do you believe in what an angel is?
[04:07.00] Furthermore, do you believe in what the devil is?
[04:09.53] Do you believe that I can illustrate what Streatham is
[04:12.21] Then break the fourth wall and base Lesley on my relatives?
[04:15.42] I'm grateful for my life because I aimed for this
[04:18.14] Every bad moment every single fucking day of this
[04:20.95] People looking at me, that's what fame can bring
[04:23.35] But to understand the stairs, you take steps then retrace the shit
[04:27.01] I tell my circle, the future's ours, we're shaping it
[04:29.67] The past is just the reason I had came to this
[04:34.79] I thank God for the pain because it made me this
[04:38.89]
[04:50.66] I don't know if you remember those days, bruv
[04:53.29] In them days, there was one night in particular, bruv
[04:55.98] Came home and for some reason, man put on a beat
[05:00.76] We were just in the front room, freestyling, bar for bar
[05:06.09] I don't even know how old you was these times, bruv
[05:07.85] Probably about, hmm, ten? Ten, nine?
[05:14.12] Yeah, man, if I think about it now, think about the transition
[05:19.32] Them days there, you had no bars
[05:22.76]
[05:28.29] But to see the stuff you're doing today, proper man, you know I mean that
[05:34.48] Thinking man's definitely blessed to see how the whole ting's come together
[05:40.24] From times when I think it was 'JKYL+HYD' man, you played man that one there
[05:46.77] Man was thinking, "Yo, this one here is a banger", bruv
[05:51.76] I remember when I heard that one live on the airwaves
[05:57.14] For the first time bruv, we was pumping it
[06:01.20] Man come to my door was like, "Rah man, that's a bit loud you know?"
[06:06.37] I'm like, "Fam, that's my brudda"
[06:09.21] He was like, "Yeah?"
[06:13.58] And you know, on your birthday, man sent you a little card
[06:19.64] And it begins
[06:21.39] "Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel
[06:25.01] But Samuel said to him, "The Lord has not chosen these"
[06:29.64] So he asked Jesse, "Are these all the sons you have?"
[06:33.32] "There is still the youngest," Jesse answered, "but he's tending the sheep"
[06:37.62] Samuel said, "Send for him, we will not sit down to eat until he arrives"
[06:42.77] So he sent and had him brought in
[06:45.66] He was ruddy, with a fine appearance and handsome features
[06:49.45] And then the Lord said, "Rise and anoint him, he's the one"
[06:54.12] Bro, you know what that means?
[06:57.98] Say no more man
[06:59.31]
