I Wonder (feat. Akala)

I wonder if my parents never met, middle man made a killing

Yo, I wonder, will I ever meet the 'nect?

Wonder, how these **** sell out for a check?

Wonder if she knows I woulda made her wifey if she had a better rep?

Wonder, why they don't wanna see me shine?

Wonder, will I ever leave the streets behind

So I could have a peace of mind?

I wonder why I love buying ice?

Wonder, how my **** Cash and Hydro felt

When the judge gave them life?

Let's go

I wonder how they cope?

I wonder if my chick would still love me if I was broke?

I wonder how all these guns get into my area?

Wonder why they care about celebs instead of Syria?

Wonder will I get a L plate or get merked?

Wonder why they care about someone else's net worth?

I wonder, out of all my tracks, what's my best verse?

And I wonder if them pagans know they're 'bout to get burst?

It's Nines

What kinda person would you have been

If you grew up in Hampstead instead of Harlesden?

Or if you grew up in High Wycombe

Instead of Harlesden?

Who knows, look at the stuff you've been through

And what you're surrounded by

Your environment don't define you

But how do you transcend it?

But at the same time, you're growing

Man, them are listening to you

And you them are listening to you

What are you gonna do with that platform now?

That's what you wanna ask yourself

Wonder, will the Lord forgive me for my sins?

Wonder if them lifers hear me on the radio or miss me on the wing?

I know they wonder, what kinda numbers my bud line do?

Wonder if them broke **** know I was just like you?

Uh, wonder will Arsenal ever win the league?

Wonder why they notice my bad and not my good deeds?

Wonder why I'm so cool with all this weed in the base?

Wonder how it'd be if I grew up in a different place?

Free my ****, Wonder, I wish he was free

I can hear them sirens coming, wonder if it's for me?

I had my hand on a scale when you was touching the remote

They don't put in work but got the nerve to wonder, why they broke?

All these new **** acting like they graffed it with me

Family members only holler when they asking for P

I know they wonder how I kill these tracks?

It's the middle of the drought, I know they wonder how we still got packs

It's Nines

Would you be the same if you had the opportunity

To access the other groups

We would just naturally have born in time?

No, what are we gonna do about that?

What can we build?

Can we change anything, or is it just set the way it's set?

I don't know, I wonder the same stuff all the time

There's a certain essence that you have

There's a certain spirit inside of you

That has to come out

That is a part of who you are as well

There's Nines

And then there's Courtney

They act like the mandem on the street

Corner are the criminals

But the real criminals are in suits and ties

Selling arms to crazy countries around the world

War is profitable, murder is profitable

You understand? And then they look at us like

Yo, you people are the

Our badness ain't nothing

Compared to their badness

Their badness is real badness

And our badness is joke badness

And even on the road thing

You gotta ask yourself

Boy, year in year out

The food gets in and out of the country

You ain't got no place

You know what I mean?

And your connect's connect's connect's connect's connect

Who's that man, you understand?

Illegal drugs is worth sixteen billion a year

To the UK economy

That ain't used in Harlesden, or Tottenham

Or Peckham, or East Glasgow

It's someone else

Somewhere else making most of that P

But there's bigger questions
