Live A long life, longevity has its place (storm cloud rising) I just want to do God's will (let's go home) And he's allowed me to go up to the mountain (I see) Mum, I know you cringe when I make out like we was poor Like I only had a meal or two when it's really three or four You my Donda West, my Afeni Shakur Sons hardly live with dads, but who was needed more? Dad, I know you cringe when I make out like you weren't there Like I only ever saw you Christmas' and New Year Men will be men, what I witnessed ain't too rare You're still my nigga if you care (yeah) Granny probably watchin' over me in disbelief Disappointed in me every time she see me You know the sayin', "Practice makes perfect" Well, I'll be perfect if I practiced what I preached It wasn't like a TLC that made me creep It was a sister with a voice that made me week It was a childhood destiny who made me free Now, I couldn't stop the sugar babes, it make me sweet Have you ever picked a rose just to analyze the thorns? Have you ever played chess just to sacrifice the pawns? I've see the Devil in the flesh and tried to grab him by the horns It's been death after death without havin' time to mourn Have you ever been in Hell and given Paradise a thought? And felt paralyzed when tryna push the man inside forward Growin' up, all my brothers wanted to be filthy rich I went legit and got a salad-size-fortune I got brothers with spare time watchin' the clocks I know trappers turn traders, watchin' the stocks Dumb bitches with smartphones as common as dogs I see them gentrify the ends, demolish the blocks And then televise offence, you can watch from your spot Hard to recognize my friend when he forgot who he was I said, "How can I depend on any plot that's been lost" See, every night, I repent and pray God isn't gone I'm from the bad block, shootin', stabbings, crack spots If bro and dem can't find your team, they'll shoot the mascot Pussies can't walk in my shoes, man are Sasquatch And, you ain't never bet on yourself and hit the jackpot Drop sixty on jewels, this kettle Cameron, it's already tripled itself Shh, I grew up weird, who was there? Question never gets the truth, you dare Talkin' in the station wasn't cool unless it's cool offence Talkin' 'bout the flavours deja vu 'cause when the cools' there Who knew that all this pain up in one room would make us fortunairs So many artists backs to wall, it's like the Louvre there You can swim or you can snorkel there Sinkin' ain't an option 'round this ruthless-sphere They grew up square If you not been Turkey, teeth out, bet the lawyers want a souvenirs I got some readies in my pocket Water down your content, got some Skellies in my closet Between tellin' and the tourin', know you smell on me is profit The only thing that's promised is we'll end up in a coffin Hope you stood for something or fall for everything Just in, just in the top threes if I ain't restin' it, but the creds legit That's the vibes, got you all in check like I was Busta in his prime Shooters dem on deck, but I gain confidence in these shines Man'll loopin' off your necklace, best you tuck in all those diamonds Survivors guilt I just learned 'bout the Bible skill But, I know the big man up there blessin' me, but time's a snitch 'Cause, eventually, time will tell Protect legacy Worth a couple quid so I can comfortably decline Any sell out offers 'cause these companies be tryin' it Just buried nan, he held a shovel, it was tirin' Witnessed my mother be a daughter, weepin' Iris' Became a father after nan, done closed her eyelids Twelve days before my son, they didn't meet After my MoBo speech, I went to watch her asleep One day, we'll duppy your white, pour-out beverage Brother, look in the sky, that's where Heaven is Dear Sky, why you take long to reply to my messages? All this teenager shit got you movin' insensitive Yeah, they say I'm in my feels, she's my sanity, therapist But, until you have a daughter, you won't understand anything Anyone can run the game from on the side of the pitch Niggas tryna call the shots, I'll get you shot for a drink If it's a doggy-dog world, I'm on some Doberman shit I go realer on you apes and put my hand on your chips You ever seen badness in the form of a gift? A man will give a man a box so he can rob him for it The word genos, made me know what bein' talented is Now, man are gettin' paid for work to make it work in their favour I'm out the game It ain't about all of the times that I got to play The real ones are havin' the freedom to start again The business isn't profitin' and Green Machine is the name I'm sellin' weed over the counter, I'm shottin' ounces again Argh, full circle I ain't blamin' shit on my race, we can all hurdle Went from bein' underground in my shell like a small turtle Now, I'm Michelangelo and I'm paintin' the colour purple My rain can make my mother retire, but that's a job in itself She rather work herself to death then let me give her the world Already saw the women, King watchin' you father the girls So, along as I'm your prince, I give you diamonds and pearls The Bible itself is nothing in my life I withheld They're livin' for the Queen's head but wouldn't die for the tails I'm givin' all my team bread, forgot a slice for myself I really had to wear the trousers, had to tighten my belt It's tailor fit, in the verses, I'm Jadakiss I made a flick sellin' Bobby Brown and Taylor Swift I make 'em sing like I'm Ghetts with his greatest hits Man, this ain't the last supper, this is caterin'
