Had to get down on my knees Pray as I search for a deeper connection I'm takin' my time It's not just me but you need a direction Feels like nothin' ain't sweet Plus I ain't gettin' no sleep 'cause I'm stressin' Got me a legal profession Bro got done for illegal possession That's how we were raised It's life on a council estate When I get outta the hood I write me a book called how to escape Feel like I'm trapped in a cage My mind ain't lettin' me free The ends ain't lettin' me go The smoke ain't lettin' me breathe Still I find me a cheat code Found flaws in the system Score and assistant 'em Get the weed man scores for the wisdom Caught me a high, caught me a vibe Then I caught an addiction Fillin' up draws in the crib just to hide ours Was billin' up draws in the kitchen I hit then I relax, I quit then I relapse It's lit but it's harmful Mum said lead by example It's hard but I try to Gotta get packs on arrival Bro just came with the 8 ball Coulda went halves on a bible It's hard to complain, things don't change when it's part of a cycle It's hard for Jermaine on the road But it's easy for Charlie and Michael Ask me why I don't speak 18's is the talk when you're poor bro Talk ain't cheap, send me a text and I'll send you my sort code I ain't down for pretendin' so I ain't down to attend the award shows I need bread for the rent g I ain't tryna put Fendi in wardrobes Feels like the devil's at work Go to the church bathe in the water When I talk to a boss I can tell that He loves that I'm datin' his daughter I'm placin' a order Shut tax down by the enda the week Niggas try sell me a dream Jokes on you 'cause I kept the receipt Feels like the devil's at work Go to the church bathe in the water When I talk to a boss I can tell that He loves that I'm datin' his daughter I'm placin' a order Shut tax down by the enda the week Niggas try sell me a dream Jokes on them 'cause I kept the receipt
