| You won’t catch me on commuter trains at half past 8
|
| I freeline at half 9 and I’m still not late
|
| You’ll never see me after work pouring money down my throat
|
| Talking shit, gaining weight, for the sake of a joke
|
| Or with the other suits in the gents hittin' the coke
|
| I like a smoke but I always keep an eye on my notes
|
| Yeah you can call me self-righteous but I’ll never lose hope
|
| You’ll never see me 9 to 5 getting over to cope
|
| Not a typical life, I dream wilderness ways
|
| I resisted being villainous back in the days
|
| I was the one, seen my friends twocking for fun
|
| Ripping car radios out then… run!
|
| I’m up the ginnel quicker than the rest because I didn’t smoke
|
| Full belt round the corner, shit! |
| this is no joke
|
| Heard the helicopter buzzing overhead it’s
|
| Time for me to be out, time to get selfish
|
| I can’t be getting nicked for what someone else did
|
| Blended with the bushes till shadows melted
|
| And when the sun came up it was less hot
|
| Stepped off down the cobblestones at a trot
|
| I’m off to write rhymes, and I made the right choice |
| And I know a lot of people take issue with my voice
|
| Even though we’re all equal i’ll be makin' my cream
|
| Fuck a British state of mind and the American dream…
|
| It’s peer pressure
|
| You make your own mistakes
|
| But don’t drag me in, I’m tryin' to elevate
|
| Course I ain’t happy 'bout what’s happenin' now
|
| Stuff ain’t goin too well for you so now you’re dragging me down
|
| And that is just foul so play fair, stop acting like you don’t know
|
| My struggle in this jungle is just standing on my own toes
|
| And most won’t accept the fact that times are hard
|
| I say they. |
| kinda are but still life is large
|
| And I’m planning to make it big to you know — rhyme with stars
|
| And have major companies bidding for me buying me cars
|
| Be in my own show pedalling across the Earth
|
| People I don’t know begging me to drop a verse
|
| 'But what’s this worth?' |
| you ask, I say not everything mate
|
| But it’s where I’m tryin' to be at so don’t get in my way
|
| Just stay in your place
|
| Don’t grab on me when problems are invading your space
|
| Cos as for me blud if I make a mistake |
| I’ve only myself to blame plus I’ve dealt with pain
|
| And the sunny side’s always better when you’ve felt the pain
|
| So deal with it — your umbrella is your mental state
|
| I can’t be the only one that’s keeping my friends awake
|
| And I know you ain’t told me everything you meant to say
|
| But we can set things straight cos that was yesterday
|
| And day out and day in you might notice all these strange things
|
| But realize I’m going through the same thing
|
| The art from the start is maintaining and training your brain
|
| And of course like they say with no pain there’s no gaining.
|
| It’s peer pressure
|
| You make your own mistakes
|
| But don’t drag me, I’m tryin' to elevate |
