| I’m going through a break-up again | 
| I see a dozen women and I break up with ten | 
| I put 'em back together then I break 'em again | 
| That’s a match made in heaven or the thin line between | 
| Love and hate that we cross 'till it makes us repent | 
| I’m tryna let you know that this plays on my head | 
| So you don’t have to wait till I’m dead | 
| 'Cause patience ain’t one of your strengths | 
| I waited a lifetime just to end up in the limelight | 
| I write rhymes so they won’t consider me an Einstein | 
| While they was nominated for a Grammy for the ninth time | 
| I was shedding tears with my family in the nite nite | 
| Night time’s over, I see man acting like Scarface | 
| But they won’t survive like Sosa | 
| The night I woke up was when that black car rolled up | 
| I was like nine years old, blud | 
| Shopping for my mother, went to buy a tin of corned beef | 
| Car lights flashing, is this when me and the Lord meet? | 
| Tints rolled down, he shook his head when he saw me | 
| I guess it wasn’t for me | 
| I’ve skipped death more than you’ve skipped breath | 
| In your gym sesh, cardio won’t make the kid wretch | 
| I’ve seen the prince cry when the king left | 
| Is the Queen gonna check mates or keep him in check? | 
| Now I’ve seen a gunner ball rolling like him with Cech | 
| Screaming «suck your mudda», incest | 
| It makes you wonder where the kid went | 
| When gunshot lick all our in friend | 
| But fear won’t allow you to be yourself | 
| I’m Cool J in a Kangol, yeah, I did it well | 
| Don’t wanna see us bond, guess they’d rather I Stringer Bell | 
| So that’s why I punch above my weight till I beat Adele | 
| I am Shakespeare with great hair | 
| I’ll probably be the next Wayne Hector in eight years | 
| Tinchy had to break a few records to break here | 
| Drake really had to take the pressure to Take Care | 
| Take care of you, take care of me, take care of us | 
| Take care of Mum, take care of everyone (take care of everyone) | 
| You see how fast the hate turns to love | 
| When everybody has to rate what you’ve done | 
| Man will throw shade on the slums | 
| But I rate what it made me become | 
| See, I could have been wasted and dumped | 
| Stuck with about an eighth in my lungs | 
| Yeah, I pray the fuckboys keep their distance | 
| I’m listening to Beres, putting up a resistance | 
| You can keep your merits, man, I come for distinctions | 
| I’m from the type of home where my brother’s my sister | 
| But that don’t make a difference cuh I love her to bits and | 
| We’re just some have-nots tryna master the system | 
| I had a Mega Drive when I was running the infants | 
| Young Fire, Old Flame, you’ll get bun in the distance | 
| Wait for me | 
| Mummy, won’t you pray for me? | 
| Heavy like I’m carrying a slave on me | 
| But I’m just carrying the game on me | 
| It’s just a game | 
| They say it’s just a game, they say it’s just a game | 
| Well, if this is just a game | 
| Why we dying just to play? | 
| It’s just a game | 
| They said it’s just a game, they say it’s just a game | 
| Well, if this is just a game | 
| Why we dying just to play? | 
| And for you, this might be another eight | 
| But for me, this is just another day | 
| Just another race, in a race with the racists | 
| Tryna make it off the slave ship | 
| Can I get a break? | 
| 'Cause I don’t want another chase | 
| 'Cause I’m tired and there’s no one to relate | 
| Nor can nobody relate | 
| My grandmother was a great | 
| I had to put her in a grave, now my shoulder still aches | 
| I had to carry her away | 
| I’m still carrying the pain | 
| Fuck marrying the fame | 
| This is for my family to gain | 
| And the young me’s carrying my name | 
| Pray for me, yeah | 
| Pray for me, yeah | 
| Pray for me, yeah |
