Chorus: x2
My mum's calling me, she telling me she proud
And she loves me and bring me to see my dad for a while
I'm on the stage, the lights turned out
In front of me's about, twenty thousand in the crowd
I've been bumping in, to some of my old school pals
They grin and say "Chin, you've got a glow in your smile"
I'm from the streets where the lifestyle's wild
So, it's nice how my life's turned out
I praise him daily

Verse:
I grew up in an estate playing ?
My friends knocking for me ask for mum if I can come out and play
Yeah those were my innocent days
I remember British Bulldog and go to go in the alley ways
And I never understood the value for money
So, I was never shy to turn a look on mummy
And ask for some new Nike or a baseball cap
As she put on angry face and look back
We said no, I never had anything I wanted
Yeah money was a problem so I put my mind on it
By 16 I started making money from the chronic
My Moped and a first car - rewards I take from it
And at 18, we started SMS
A ghetto rap crew we had potential to be the best
And in that same haraam studio, I learnt about Islam
It turns out something good came from that haraam
Moving on, from the music a lot was happening in the streets
And what I went through in my life is what I put down on the beats
And my life was negative so the music was negative
It was like a cry for help, that a sister would never give
But we reach out to the kids, Islam starts to spread
And finally, I wake up and get out of my bed
But what about those that I left, can't leave them without a thought
Cuz they're still pedalling drugs like it's a sport
And crime only pays till the day you get caught
And my brother got caught, so we standing in the court
Those fifteen years, knocked him back down on these chains
Letting out a deep breath, his wife let out the tears
She's screaming in the court room like justice isn't given
I just pray you benefit from these years in prison

Chorus: x2
My mum's calling me, she telling me she proud
And she loves me and bring me to see my dad for a while
I'm on the stage, the lights turned out
In front of me's about, twenty thousand in the crowd
I've been bumping in, to some of my old school pals
They grin and say "Chin, you've got a glow in your smile"
I'm from the streets where the lifestyle's wild
So, it's nice how my life's turned out
I praise him daily
