Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Had to get down on my knees
Pray as I search for a deeper connection
I'm taking my time
It's not just speed, man, you need a direction
Feels like nothing ain't sweet
Plus I ain't getting no sleep cah I'm stressing
Got me a legal profession
Bro got done for illegal possession
That's how we were raised
That's life on a council estate
When I get out of the hood, I'll write me a book called "How to Escape"
Feel like I'm trapped in a cage
My mind ain't letting me free
The ends ain't letting me go
The smoke ain't letting me breathe
[Verse 2]
Still I found me a cheat code
Found flaws in the system
Score and assist 'em
Give the weedman scores for the wisdom
Caught me a high, caught me a vibe, then I caught an addiction
Fillin' up draws in the crib just to hide I was billin' up draws in the kitchen
I hit, then I relax
I quit, then I relapse
It's lit, but it's harmful
Mum said lead by example
It's hard, but I try to
Gotta get packs on arrival
Bro just came with an 8 ball
Could have went halves on a bible
[Verse 3]
It's hard to complain
Things won't change when it's part of a cycle
It's hard for Jermaine on the road, but it's easy for Charlie and Michael
Ask me why I don't speak
It ain't easy to talk when you're poor, bro
Talk ain't cheap
Send me a text and I'll send you my sort code
I ain't down for pretending, so I ain't down to attend the award shows
I need bread for the rent, g, I ain't tryna put Fendi in wardrobes
[Verse 4]
Feel like the devil's at work
Go to the church, bathe in the water
When I talk to her pops, I can tell that he loves I'm dating his daughter
I'm placing an order
Should touch down by the end of the week
**** tried sell me a dream
Joke's on you cah I kept the receipt
[Verse 5]
Feel like the devil's at work
Go to the church, bathe in the water
When I talk to her pops, I can tell that he loves I'm dating his daughter
I'm placing an order
Should touch down by the end of the week
**** tried sell me a dream
Joke's on them cah I kept the receipt
