Call me Lampard how I set the foundations
Needed to nurture until I flourished
I use to be driven by hunger, but it's gone too far now I feel malnourished
But it's all in due time, I guess that I gotta have courage
I grind full-pelt but I'm not in the spotlight
Life got me feeling Daniel Sturridge
Suarez when I'm at a soirée
I'm upfront, that's how I parlez
Je parle couramment l'anglais, mais Je parle un peu francais
Bro said when I spit I got a certain je ne sais quoi
I said to my nigga that a nigga can't help it
Sounds of the Mani DM, that's Moi
Authentic, but nowadays most man plagiarise
Copy and pastin' a page of lies
Call it a stage, my bruddah it's your own demise
This life is a game and I swear that I'll win it
And I'm almost bankrupt without a plan so I Affi jus' wing it
I got an idea, soon be a plan
3 singles in a row and a mixtape, thought by me
And it's patterned by Cam
I lacked for a minute had to pattern up man
True say I had to go pattern myself
Music soon gonna pattern my wealth
But it's up to myself to go pattern my health
That's Mental, Dental, Physical
Long time been an object of ridicule
Said fuck that, see the shit needs change
Rapping was never enough so I upped my skills and increased my range
And I'm Not too much of a devil that dares
But I need to get paid
There's hella man just tryna get laid
Got a bad one, still 2 cute
She wanna help me secure the loot
Slow replies to most other people on my socials
Cause I got it on mute
I can sense temptation on occasion, like a normal yute
Can't shoot my shot offside
If a bruddah can't shoot, then a man won't shoot
Why d'you think I do this? Huh
I find a new answer every week
Like I'mma go global
Going to every crevice and creek
I'm cleverly ripping a sheet
STEADY, levelling beats
Success is a stink and I know that I reek
Never felt like I fit in much in my life, no hesitation when I left my place
Too claustrophobic, needed space
Ask the same thing to my sister
My homes distorted, fucked up the bass
My futures down to my hard work my mum says by Gods Good Grace
Once plans are afoot, I thought set pace
This ain't a walk, it's a marathon race
Put me to the test, then I'm testing your character
Mark it on your calendar
I'll make a legend look more like an amateur
This life is a game and I know that I'll win it
I know I'm en route, no doubt, so a shout might just be to wing it
