Bad thoughts, I shake 'em off me
My mum wants P, but I still ain't got that on me
I see things clear, the things that you do not see
Early start, wake up and smell the coffee
Baby's crying, but it's like I won the lottery
Been making time, 'cause you can't turn back the clock, see
You might want to be, but he's not, and you're not me
You might want to be, but you can't do that properly
I'm gonna keep it real, gonna keep it really real
Got big shoes to fill, not big zoots to bill
Stop wasting time, I was in labels, them man wasted mine
I didn't kick off the door, I was just taking time
And I'm taking home two-hundred, then I just take what's mine
And I'm taking all the custard and the cake is nice
On the phone to Ash my cousin, big things, I see them coming
I'm from here and he's from London
Shout out 'cause this one's buzzing
Bad thoughts, I shake 'em off me
My mum wants P, but I still ain't got that on me
I see things clear, the things that you do not see
Early start, wake up and smell the coffee
Took things for granted, woke up and smelt the coff
Old school teacher, he's a nonce
But not in pen 'cause he paid them off
Against the clock, I'm still here, but against the odds
Just me against the boss
In a house with cats and dogs
Next year, check out the prof
Next year, check out the-
Oi Harvey, this one's nuts
I was raised on Boundary road
Had friends in all the shops, had beef on Portland road
It was me that called the shots, and I feel like it's my home
Can't move it's not an opt
Too real, too real for all this washed down shit, go take a wash
Came too far to take a loss
Should say more but I can't say less
Picked up a habit tryna cut down stress
Born and raised in H-O-X
Marks the spot where they cut down flesh
I was offside tryna reach my goals
Still outside when bro got quaff
Kind of pain that most don't show
When it rains, it pours, we wept
Sleepless nights when man was slept on
I was on a next one chasing cheques
Ready to die for my respect
Survivors guilt, bro died for less
Son on the way now, smoke every day now
Dot, dot, dot tryna argue texts
Been on the front line, never been shook
Been at the label, came home vexed
DIY now the due dates near
To tell you the truth, I've been scared all year
Been at my lowest when no one cared
Pillar of strength don't shed no tears
Dads don't cry, don't show no fear
If that was true, mine would be here
Uh, if that was true, mine would be-
