Ocho, ocho
Wear my jewellery set, now they're forcing friends
Couple men I grew with, probably won't talk again
Blame that bag I never had
Ever took an L and it made you decide to tell?
Well, we're sorta glad
Swear, it hurts the most, but they'll never know
I just left the show, now it's back to stretchin' O's
Best of both, I know, but it's feelin' much
Paragraph from shorty, said she ain't feelin' loved
Read like quarter of the text and that quarter had me stressed
Keep my closest, I ain't walkin' with the rest
Pray I'm blessed, tomorrow's the next test
Didn't reply, she sent a next text
Sorry, boo, I got too much on my plate
And I got seven days with this thirty-six of lake
And I got loads of hate, that I can't get away
But I was promised better days so I'm steady through the pain
See, I was promised better days but I'm still waitin'
Sometimes I feel like I've been here for ages
Battle with the word they call "Patience"
And if rap don't work, it's back to basics
Kettle water, Borwicks and that cocaine
Thought I lost you but it's back, I'm okay
Levelled up, they said they miss my old ways
Thousand racks, I told the beggars "No change"
Told my nigga "No", even though I could
'Cause he fucked up too much times
And runs to me 'cause he knows I would
Forget the ice, how do you know I'm good?
Yeah, at times, might see me smile, deep down, it's wild
I was on trial, Mum and bro in court, won't know the sort
Never had the drive, I slowly walked
Met the sword, then I made paper moves
Now the whole estate's like "Take me through"
Ever had the press and blessings
'Cause you're makin' so much progress?
Still, I ain't nowhere blown yet but don't think they get it
How you want this bag before it's been secured?
I can't tell you what's it like 'cause I ain't been before
Calm steps away, Pyrex and yay
And when them L's hit me hard, I just stretch away
And when there' somethin' I'm unsure of, I just step away
'Cause I can't block my blessings, I was promised better days
See, I was promised better days but I'm still waitin'
Sometimes I feel like I've been here for ages
Battle with the word they call "Patience"
And if rap don't work, it's back to basics
Kettle water, Borwicks and that cocaine
Thought I lost you but it's back, I'm okay
Levelled up, they said they miss my old ways
Thousand racks, I told the beggars "No change"
See, I was promised better days but I'm still waitin'
Sometimes I feel like I've been here for ages
Battle with the word they call "Patience"
And if rap don't work, it's back to basics
