System Child

Yeah

I ain't been around

Been around for a minute

I had great ambitions

But these olders tried to kill it

They tried to bury me in the ground

I had risen

I'm just a lost child

Lost child in the system

I ain't been around

Been around for a minute

I had great ambitions

But these olders tried to kill it

They tried to bury me in the ground

I had risen

I'm just a lost child

Lost child in the system

How you reach the top if you don't sell your soul?

They told me hard work is they way it goes

I say it's a facade 'cause I did the most

Still I'm underrated like an undercard

I'm the main event

I land in New York City, don't keep tabs on what I spent

I help my brothers out

I don't keep tabs on what I lend

I'm thinking bout the times where eviction was the threat

And my mama had no rent

I had a matress but no bed

Fill scorps with 32's

Zeppelin with the led

No cooperation on my side with any feds

That's a fact

In the jungle like a lion

But i'm surrounded by these rats

They all claim to stick to codes

But i've seen paperwork it's mad

Huh

I love mine do you love yours

I got mine do you got yours

I was the one they called the lose cause

I was the one they called the lost cause

I ain't been around

Been around for a minute

I had great ambitions

But these olders tried to kill it

They tried to bury me in the ground

I had risen

I'm just a lost child

Lost child in the system

I ain't been around

Been around for a minute

I had great ambitions

But these olders tried to kill it

They tried to bury me in the ground

I had risen

I'm just a lost child

Lost child in the system

Before the streets we got some gangsters and some mutuals

Since Y-O-I socks full of snooker balls

36 im with some suspects yeah the usuals

I copped two bussdowns when i was new to jewels

I hear them rapping real gangsta i know that fools

I told my teacher suck a dick im too cool for school

She said its hard not to love me how i carry myself

I carried nanny and my aunty at their funerals

I swear my lifestyles wicked like the musical

You used to love me

Now I'm someone that you used to call

I still got it for the low that food for thought

I've been a king with my crown

I ain't new to court

Just a kid in the system had me traumatised

On the phone to my nan, don't make me bawl my eyes

I got pain in my heart but its normalised

God knows that I ain't seeing shit with normal eyes

I ain't been around

Been around for a minute

I had great ambitions

But these olders tried to kill it

They tried to bury me in the ground

I had risen

I'm just a lost child

Lost child in the system

I ain't been around

Been around for a minute

I had great ambitions

But these olders tried to kill it

They tried to bury me in the ground

I had risen

I'm just a lost child
