Yeah.. I put pen to paper Then watched a bruda transform like he's Eren Jaeger Behind the curtains and a stage there was something greater They were blind to my vision but they see it now So deep I drowned, the waters I traversed lonely At war with myself I knew nobody would be around Learning to float the hardest thing when you got trust issues Cuh the last to take me in were the first to see me out There's no love where I'm from Outclassed every single rapper in every room that I been in I'm a rare case of my income not at all correlating to the outcome We shut down Boxpark and we did it in the south one It was cold nights council flat Amount in my account low the council don't account for that, was in and out of counselling The cards inside my hand God dealt me I made them count So every time I look in the mirror I know they count on man My g's do Ems, Lucianna, Kiera they turned see through And all for their pride and some paper God knows that it hurt me inside, but I learnt to move on cuh, I know he'd reply with his favour Stop denying my labour Can't describe what I made but What's inscribed in my paintbrush Is the balance between life and death that lies in a graveyard Nights that I visited I wish I said I love you more I guess I gotta live with it now The storm passed but I repent in the calm My dad had a heart attack now he's got stents in his arm If anything it just reminded I gotta go make it Cuz nothing feels worse than seeing both your parents aging Beef more seasoned than ever glad my mum's out the city but that don't stop me worrying if she's ever safe and Shared her pain there's no distance that could tear us apart If anything the bond I got with her is covalent Yeah.. Had to watch what she risked so I could eat full course and me I guess I'm a mini version of my marge Cuh once you reach for the stars the minimums a sky dweller even if he fall short Cross me and we pressing you full court See my people they all flawed but the dinner it's top floor When I answered my calling God knows it came with some close calls, closed doors They expected me to bottle it instead I popped corks Clocked more hours found myself in a lost cause In a tank full of sharks I made them drop jaws You take a look at my streams you'd see they're off, sure Cuh every time they judged my cyphers it was top scores So what we shop for different this is not north-face because lets face it what I built fam cannot be bought We lost battles and we won wars The fights that I done fought Depression took me on tour I'm running out of time My ends they all done for Shallow dreams long swords Stations no concords My ends been flaming burnt bridges but I'm unsure Don't play with this pen I had it since the playpen this ain't no lottery ticket but trust I got it from the top draw Made p's of course But we ain't scratch the surface And no I didn't conform I promise what I signed ain't never had a dumb clause I'm the antithesis of what they thought Deeper insecurities I know what I'm running from don't know what I'm running for I grew up in a jungle where everybody judges man but I stayed so calm I found mercy in God when I raised both hands guess my project covers both halves Woke up, living in my dream unlike most are My discography full of classics I'm like Mozart I wrote till I changed the whole script fam I had callous hands and broke arms They had no hearts a kid from a broke caste The wordplay is just a play in itself, they couldn't fathom my role so I had to learn to play both parts became adept in swimming through a river I cried myself the same tears could've sunk Noah's Ark Irony, the pain made me vocal but I'm antisocial Reprezented my ends like I was supposed to Ask Fay, got the radio active like it's Chernobyl Invoice check the total Didn't plan on staying local Scratch that, I'm a mogul Check the stats, should be global My life is so picturesque I ain't too fond of taking photos Yeah you're here but you just happened not to live Where I'm from Njay's got it tatted in his skin Bigger place, River Stage Same thing different day In need of a bigger plate Bigger wage, figure 8 The way that I intonate, interact, innovate Big plaques, bigger frames For the memories I saved Same room I didn't change And the mirror stayed the same Cuh I just wanna look back and reminisce on all the scars I felt From the trauma I displaced Every excuse I made Times I hid behind my laugh as well You feel that? Feels like destiny Lemme see how you'd walk in my shoes if you knew that your father's son's Megumi, felt so abandoned Pain is a blessing and a curse but I mastered it and brought them into my world that's a domain expansion What's the point in punching if you can't land them My ceiling, limitless When I was little used to treat my life frivolous I banked on a dream I had to work towards something I thought I might never see I ain't had my last dance for as long they see me breathe It was crazy, I had to give myself my own flowers Cuz most people are waiting until they grieve Unparalleled belief, and a God given team Yeah I cried a lot but to end at the top you battle all the tiers Now I got a Jersey on my back that read 23 I promise you this one is my Jordan year
