See where I'm from everyone's got big dreams 64 bars and 16s
Instant gratification everybody just wants it quickly
Like everybody wants it swiftly
My bro said put in the work and take your time it don't come overnight
So I gotta so I gotta keep on going carry on grafting
Give a f*ck about whether they're laughing
I love it when I see them smile but deep down I know it's hate they're masking
Surely there's more to this life
Shit could've gone left but I took that right
It's getting insane let me book that flight
Day dreaming well into the night
Shall I take that risk and prosper
Or stay in my comfort zone and wonder
I can't sit and think of what could've been I can't lie I ain't getting any younger
Council house baby I got the hunger
Will the world just give me a chance
I know man with crazy talent that can't get a look in let alone a glance
Council house baby the block that raise me
No way could they ever change me
I'm between a rock and a hard place
Somebody just come and save me
I'm young talented and gifted
Them man are just old and lazy
Ten ten body and face but no intellect rude-boy that's crazy
Ten ten body and face but no self respect bro that's a next ting
Don't ask me what my body count is told her you ask too much questions
See these women they come and they go
If her head ain't screwed on properly like Simon from me it's a no (it's a no from me)
Like lethal more time is just leave it (leave it)
If you're rockin' with me then great if not then there must be a reason
Cause I wanna be a choice not an option It ain't enough having things in common (no way)
And tell me are you really gonna be there when we've both got problems
The cost of living it's increasing the quality of life it's decreasing
How the does that make sense somebody just give me a reason
Have you sat down in the evening and not known where your next meal's coming from
This one's for my council house babies cause they know where I'm coming from
Tell the Metropolitan police no justice no peace
They're still killing us for no reason in the north west south and east
