I know this one young boy from the way
He done time but he come without play
Try tell him that crime don't pay (Try tell him that crime don't pay)
Plus he's on edge 'cause they know where he stay
He was outside tryna get roads taped
Coulda chilled in Netflix with bae
Bae, bae, bae, bae, bae
But now he's ten toes, Ten toes from the jakes
In and out of drums Putting hands on papes
Lookin at his mates' but he can't see snakes
In a hot seat Getting' playback tapes
Shoulda seen the look on that young bulls face
Was the same don he gave half his plate
Tell me what your life's like
Mine was kinda calm, 'til I dabbled in some knife fights
Not a nice sight, late night you could lose your eyesight
And his head don't speak no roof for the right price
Let me know what your life's like
Now he's got beef with the rest of the zones
Should've been one, but the rest condoned
Guess it could tell how friend turned foe
And it's mad, he started that gang on his own
Always before the first whistle got blown
There goes the hood, coming up off a phone
They harboured a snitch and everyone knows
Try and live life like everything's rose
He got grub, but it's stuffed with oats
He's finding it hard to make P on the roads
I dunno why he can't be by the code
They had no choice but to flee up the road
Tell me what your life's like
Mine was kinda calm, 'til I dabbled in some knife fights
Not a nice sight, late night you could lose your eyesight
And his head, don't speak know it all for the right price
Let me know what your life's
Remember that one young boy from the ends
He's grown up, he don't know about friends
Spent most time in and out for skengs
Caught wings, got the low-down on them
They thought they were safe the other side of the Thames
But I'm taking shots, this ain't no average lens
Long story short, all that way-back-when
Didn't cross his mind when he slapped off ten
Save one for the feds, hopped in that Benz
Left right left, now he's doing up legs
Adrenaline pump watch him hop that fence
When the sequel drops, here 'dis one ends
Tell me what your life's like
Mine was kinda calm, 'til I dabbled in some knife fights
Not a nice sight, late night you could lose your eyesight
And his head, don't speak know it all for the right price
Let me know what your life's
Tell me what your life's like
Mine was kinda calm, 'til I dabbled in some knife fights
Not a nice sight, late night you could lose your eyesight
And his head, don't speak know it all for the right price
Let me know what your life's like
