I don't sleep, I just close my eyes
I'm no sheep, Bo Peep, she must die
The Lord is my shepherd
'Cause the Lord is my shepherd
I don't sleep, I just close my eyes
I'm no sheep, Bo Peep, she must die
The Lord is my shepherd
'Cause the Lord is my shepherd
Jumped out the car
Had a change of heart
Something weren't right
Told the bros call it a night
But they just said I'm pussy
Pressure from my peers, I never folded though
Blessing from upstairs, when I'm rolling I'm protected
That's a prayer from a grandma
Concerned about her grandson
I phone and say, "A change gon' come"
That's what Sam sung
I'm from the land of rambos, acid, samurais and handguns
Where it's fuck dad and thank mum, but me, I'm my dad's son
Ain't hard to see my father in me
The apple never fell too far from the tree
My mother hates that but she can't disagree
Bricks on my bedroom floor, you'd think it's Carnaby Street
Exaggeration but you're starting to see
You get the picture literally
Copyright infringement, they ain't paying for these samples
Wanna hit them, visit me
Jumping over cows,
I skip the beef so I can run around with thousands in my jeans
I was in these streets
Where it's dangerous, fam
As a kid I found comfort in my favourite shank
Cah I was always outnumbered
Never claiming a gang
And having no moral compass, I became detached
I'm just a outsider inside
Outlining things I'm
Surrounded by this time
The outcome is insight
To how some live life
The shoe doesn't fit me anymore and that's for sure
But the trousers still fit fine
We just follow fashion
Follow trends
Follow enemies and follow friends
Being followed by the feds
And follow women on the 'Gram
Then we follow them again
Everybody's following but where we being led
I don't sleep, I just close my eyes
I'm no sheep, Bo Peep, she must die
The Lord is my shepherd
The Lord is my shepherd
What are we here on this earth for?
See all this choice but choose to follow
God gave us mind of our own
But still the open road we go
Stuck between a rock and a hard place
Sold rocks in a hard place
Used the same rocks to build my Majays
One big house on a little old street
We fell in love with Little Bo Peep
I'm the rock in a hard place
But these rocks bring you heart ache
Used the same rocks to build my Majays
One big house on a little old street
We fell in love with Little Bo Peep, yeah
♪
Would you tell me that I'm crazy if
I said you can make right and wrong
A man would ride along forever whether right or wrong
Follow your morals to the T and hand retribution
Set judicial president, prevent confusion
Taking a life, that's illegal on the block
'Cause it's evil but it's legal for some people with a job
Who gets to tell us what a soldier is
Middle Eastern children molested
You run a clip on the news and then we get over it
What happens when you don't follow?
Cold niggas soul borrow
Mums cry, doves fly, tears in a thug's eye
Push base, pump white
Overdose, mums die
Her choice, rough life
Harsh truth, tough lie
Heard he went guilty for a line and caught a nine today
Wouldn't even matter 'bout a forty minute flight away
Niggas up day and night
Tryna sell you night and day
Our sons will follow us until the cold light of day
When you don't follow the program you get Kane and Wretch
You get Skepta and Wiley
You get Dave and Ghetts
Women on the guest list
Relatives respecting
30 year stretches
Bodies in the trenches
What I wouldn't do today, who said I wouldn't do tomorrow?
The problem ain't following, it's what you choose to follow
What is we chose to follow all the things we used to follow
Spoke about sex less
Normalise death less
Obsess less
Over capital and excess
Took drugs less
Frowned on love less
Little Bo Peep must sleep forever more
We feel but don't grieve
We grieve but never mourn
We look but never see
We see but never more
The role models are suffering, tell them that there's a war outside
Tell them that there's a war outside
What are we here on this earth for?
See all this choice but choose to follow
God gave us mind of our own
But still the open road we go
Stuck between a rock and a hard place
Sold rocks in a hard place
Used the same rocks that build my Majays
One big house on a little old street
We fell in love with Little Bo Peep
I'm a rock in a hard place
