Call me a talker but man I get in line like lambs in a slaughter
It's life threatening and I can tell from the borer
[Dm] Cut through a nigga like a knife through flora Fed's got the guys on the case and they stalk us
[Cm] It's a conspiracy like tin foil hats and a new world order
Touch me you better have a life insurer Blood thirsty I got sharks in the water
And trust me I [Bb] know a killer well know orca
_ _ [Ab] Have you ever seen a nightmare brought to [Gm] life?
Where I'm from you get [D] chefed on a normal [Eb] night
Men talk on my name but it's [Bb] [Ab] porcupines I really put it in a [Fm] prick like a porcupine
Little bro on the safe for [Ab] a [G] 45 Go board a flight there's [Cm] more to life
Utes on the [Fm] M6 all the [Cm] time We don't need [Fm] TFL for a northern [Cm] line
All the best politicians been taught to [D] lie Where do they buy cocaine when they're snorting [Eb] white?
Are their dealers safe on the [Gm] [Ab] borderline?
It's ironic cause we don't know where to draw the [Cm] line
Men see blue story they're [G] mortified Men see scarface and it's [C] glorified
Cause when you're black [D] everything gets [Cm] scrutinized That's why they call it [Fm] urban it gets [Cm] euphemized
South London men are getting [Gm] euthanized I see a huge demise [D] I wasn't too [Eb] surprised
He got soaked but his right hand [Ab] scuba dived Don't [Fm] die by a sword that you used to shine
You can drown for your king You [Ab] don't know about [G] aphelia

One bag of [Fm] whores and drug paraphernalia When ends got sticky had a flicky with Amelia
I mean Olivia This [Ebm] ain't Libya
This ain't Syria You act sillier
We let it seep in your skin like Nivea Who wants to be a millionaire?
I want it Never done a game show or trivia
I done [E] Wandsworth, Earl Stoke visitor I done Spring Hill, Grendon, Swinthorn, Whitemore
Swellside, Brixton visitor I done M-Way trips
Done shit that I wish I never did Bacar could've been a prisoner
Is this the shit that appeals to the listeners?
Road ain't no amazing life The ends full of snakes and gels
Just a waste of time I told my young G's take your time
Fuck jazz You could really see a major nine
I'm so ashamed of how I used to get figures Mansell you a dream like the road things lit
And then you leave out the parts where you're burying your niggas
You're in jail wondering who's putting dick inside your missus
I'm so fucking determined I was in intensive care when I was born
Mummy fell down the stairs Whether I was gonna live or not was something uncertain
[Bb] I used the word fell with the commas inverted You see growing up I had it far from perfect
But nobody did so I'm a normal person I gotta be grateful
We all have demons and all see angels Or maybe it's me
A black youth's more than a [Cm] face on a screen A number on a laptop or name on a sheet
We got stories to tell and got places to be From a heart that's the making of me

_ _ [G] At a youth club in South London, not far from [Cm] where someone was stabbed less than 24 hours
ago, he outlined a direct link between violent crimes, social exclusion [D] and austerity.
A study by City Hall [Eb] found that London has seen an increase of [Ab] 71% of victims of serious
[Fm] youth violence since 2012.
[G] Ayr says this is linked to an increase [Cm] in poverty, with the highest rates of violence
taking place in some of [Fm] the poorest [Cm] boroughs.

My best friend got [Ab] a burner and [Fm] it's looking like an artefact, put it in your puffer or your [G] prada hat
Like fuck panic that's a heart [Cm] attack
_ _ _ _ _ _ It's like life's so fucked in the time that [D] we're in, we're fighting the world and we're fighting [Eb] within
Somali dad ran away from the [Ab] war, now his son's in a war that's the cycle we're [Fm] in
I know niggas that didn't do time in [G] a bin, that have never had freedom of mind

Round here main way to provide for your kin is in a flick blade, little push
bike in a sim In London a place where it's nicer [D] to live
is only 5 minutes south from the guys on the [Gm] strip
[Eb] Where man made yay work, hurdy [Ab] a soldier I know that n***a hasn't got balls like [Fm] grey
work As I grow older, change of [G] perspective, I
gotta stay loyal to my girl, that's [Cm] the trait she was blessed with
Restaurants, raves with my bredrins, life's too short so we gotta turn up
Man talking my ting for the gram is [D] intrusive I never really thought bout taking [Eb] a life
till I found out my ex girls dad is [Ab] abusive I felt how could I be a man and not [Fm] do shit
I'm on the way there now and I don't wanna [G] lose it
But fighting her battles only hurting [Cm] the girl
How can I protect her from the world when I couldn't even protect her from myself
Or my grandmothers grave, shit happens [D] again I put a knife for a family friend
Most [Eb] of the women that I know had shit happen to them
So [Ab] innocent till guilty ain't something that I have to [Fm] respect
I think back to my youth and I was so [G] ungrave How many of our parents had [Cm] dreams they abandoned
So they could put food on the table Intelligent, worthy and able to somebody's
parent [G] You [D] know?
And that affected the way that I [Eb] see shit Nightclub toilet, you peed [Ab] on the seat
Cause you don't know how it feels when [Gm] your mum's got [Fm] a clean shit
And her gosh treats are like she don't even [G] mean shit
And she gotta wait for the bus in the [Cm] rain and it's freezing
[Gm] And miss said that you won't ever [Cm] be shit And you don't wanna cry about dad but you
need him I grew up so [Gm] fucked but I didn't even [D] deep
it I'm numb to the feeling of grieving
[Eb] A man getting burnt African mums on [Ab] the floor just screaming
It's mad cause [Eb] I tried so [Fm] hard Death's gotta be easy cause life's so [G] hard
I was 12 wishing that I was a white man [Cm] hard
Cause if I wasn't he probably wouldn't like man's dogs
I was dead broke fam I could've swiped man's card
Time might pass but I still gotta [D] stay with it
It wasn't his beef but I see him try [Eb] claiming it
This white caught a bullet with another man's [Ab] name on it
Now we can't do leg [Gm] day or put [Fm] strain on it Every time you hear me freestyle I put [G] pain
in it I used to wonder does God have [Cm] favourites
Touch me it's dangerous I wouldn't play with it
Cause you can go sleep and have a different type of wake for it
I [C] miss my dogs unstable you violate
Chris then Rod turn Chris [Eb] Benoit Have you hit from far?
Nah fill him up with bricks and [Ab] glass Nah my young G's will grip them blast
Have you tried in the street?
Fuck fine in my feet I could ride but it's better when I'm riding
a [Cm] beat My emotions a peak it ain't a sign of defeat
All the weak I wouldn't miss you
Chewed and cried in my sleep Dropped just two racks and told him buy the
[D] machine I'm Lebron in Miami I provide for the [Eb] heat
God strike me if I'm lying I ain't crying in this [Ab] beef
Unless a tear's coming tatted on the [Eb] side of my [Fm] cheek
I provide for my peeps the lamb white in [G] the seat
So I'm literally a wolf disguised in a [Cm] sheep You have five figure dreams I have five figure
sleep Five hours more than enough time that I need
Man want a fair fight but I ain't on it when we [D] see him
Fuck honour this revolver is on a [Eb] matter of pique
Let it stutter stutter stutter stutter stutter
When you [Ab] see him free skills Free seeing free my niggas till I see him
[Fm] I wouldn't wanna be him My [G] OG's roaming I don't need a coliseum
[Cm] _
So I'm playing it good Let hood politics stay in the hood
Fuck the internet You see this new generation [D] they're insta
beefing And I ain't into speaking
When [Eb] I duck down I had him running in a lift like [Ab] he missed a meeting
There's no good [Eb] reason [Fm] to risk your freedom They use them snitching [G] and bitches sneaking
She don't wanna talk bout [Cm] friendship She just wanna deal with a pipe like I'm fixing
leaking Asleep with a legend like Chrissy Teigen
Where I'm from the word life has a [D] different meaning
Man smile in your face but [Eb] them niggas scheming
Try involve me in [Ab] a flaky dealing Sistine [G] Chapel I'ma [Fm] paint the ceiling
I've been violated and I [G] hate the feeling That's why nowadays man [Cm] hates the preaching
We smile in the visit cause we ain't defeated The supreme courts of my mates appealing
I can't breathe that girl that's [D] torture South London is just slags in [Eb] the corner
And influencers tryna bag them [Ab] a baller She a gold digger I [Eb] can tell from [Fm] her aura
