Warm Up Session (feat. SBTV)

In February 1996 a new legend born Raised in a cold world, he'll help keep warm Yh Yh keep it warm He'll go through couple things nearly loose it all But In his shortcoming he'll learn to stand tall Fast forward, warm up let's get warm Yhyh let's get warm Look Time is an interesting concept Life's been hard but I thank God is not death I often tweet my thoughts but they don't understand context I'm looking in the mirror tryna remember my contest I stopped talking and started listening A lot fishies in this sea I'm swimming in I've seen benefits from moving with a pack But I can never risk identity for the sake of fitting in Look I stand on these feet but I pray on these knees Try not worry bout tomorrow and deal with problems I can see Yung bull yeah I had the heart full of greed As I got older I realized the only thing I need peace I found a girl that gave me love so I told her my dreams I remember looking in her eyes and I saw the belief That catalyst to soul is what every dreamer needs That's why I mean it from my core when I call them queens I've been battling with self I needed help And all these accolades don't help your mental health I read the story about a woman at the well And I realized I couldn't keep chasing this temporary wealth I tell my people stop complaining and feel yourself And if you can bounce back that ain't really an L See I grew up on Nas see he taught me stories can sell So while they sell out, man I'm keep selling the real, for real Hello my name is Still Shadey Definitely not slim. And you know we've all been through a dark road But where there's shade, there is light You can hear the loudest in quiet place And you lie down peacefully in the grass when you've dealt with all the snakes It's deeper But like they call me Croydon baby but I started off in Brixton Remember when the fire caught the house that I lived in Counted like statistics but we made it out the system Show my young boy what is, see while you tell them what it isn't From early man I knew I had a power it was given It's like every time I opened up my mouth its like they listen A passion in me, that just couldn't die, an ambition That kept awake at night, thinking about a life that would be different I wake up manifest it, we no longer at the beginning KB, I'm talking kingdom, my own label, independent Nigeria in my blood but I had to break some tradition Cos in this life you live, you gotta earn respect it ain't given Love is power and loyalty's priceless My boy was on Bail for 2 years, he was tryna fight it He went Uni, change his life, he still got indicted I looked that judge straight in the face and saw comprises Like do we wanna see change or just to legislate You looked that man straight up in the eye and then you sealed his faith I've seen loop wholes in every trial, there's manipulation My question is though, do we really wanna rehabilitate I only got one judge and I'll see Him at end Take the spec out your own eye before you look at them They said I changed on em, but I think they changed too How can you progress in life if your still the same you Been a crazy road, I didn't die so I'm grateful They waiting for a deal, I went and built my own label I've been stabbed in my back, and I ain't mean betrayal And plus I've seen betrayal, thank God that neither them were fatal I just keep my eyes on the hills you I know I'm able I'm tryna be the light in shade, just like I'm made too, its really shade I shine my light cos my people they been led astray And trust me that's really a shame I hanged on the same block, they raised Ella Mai Her name is shining lights now, I'm tryna do the same My Mumma been complaining about that kitchen that she's had from day I told her Mummy we gon see some better days My teacher said I'm useless, but my God told me I'm great Hand on my heart if your breathing, you got purpose in your veins That ain't no mistake That trapping life I lived in vain, that was my mistake Injecting heroin in veins, that was one mistake I'm getting flashbacks from things that I've seen Constant trauma, it still lives with me Writing these lyrics feel like therapy Lord help me from these memories Cos in February 1996 a new legend born Raised in a cold world but he'll help keep warm Fast forward, warm up we got warm Yhyh we got warm STILL
