Marge told me that I gotta work twice as hard Didn't really know what she meant but I can't even pretend Fam life is hard 8 letters in my surname Ghana was the birth place My daddy didn't write no bars Instead he flew across the border Man my parents walked on water Like the author And they niced my path Now i'm walking in my destiny Cos I got the right to pass Grew up on Kano and Santana My Dad said son you'll never wear a bandana I didn't work that hard for you to be a gangbanger He set pace and now the fam stand up, listen You know the skin's black so it's different Beating all the odds can't stack go the distance They tried to make my book hardback so I switched it Paperback in the backpack for the kids dem Blaow I got the heart of the king My Dad raised the bar gotta shout out to him How long we been defying odds Guy's wanna talk like We ain't been going hard for a min Can't back down Part of a rich history check the background Blaow Can't stop us Na g God got us Too Grimey for the church But too churchy for the Grime scene But still I've paved a way To my brothers on the curb They're gonna tell you you it's a pipe dream Don't let me get inside your brain Flip the habit Back then they had us settled in the field picking Cotton still I'm praying for a level playing field Cos it's systematic, See me I'm tryna lift the damage, help my young g's skip the traffic Gotta keep the devil in his hole, Forever i gotta work on that goal can't get lethargic I'm in the hood showing love regardless Cos it's better to be a light than to curse the darkness This ting has taken too many lives, I got brothers 6 deep and I got brothers inside If I could I'd skip sleep to help My brothers survive God bless my the bro's hope we better for life Blaow I got the heart of the king My Dad raised the bar gotta shout out to him How long we been defying odds Guy's wanna talk like We ain't been going hard for a min Can't back down Part of a rich history check the background Blaow Can't stop us Na g God got us Whether it's a train or a wraith I'm telling all my brothers roll safe I know we really want change But the devil really loves our old ways He keeps testing me Lord please set me free
