[Verse]
I told the driver "Don't worry, you're part of the story
I pay you my money, will you pay me your time?
I ain't going nowhere really I just want you to drive."
Man, I see some lights shining on the city that's mine
It's hard celebrating when you've made it in life
When all your other friends are still making it by
And I know it ain't my job to be safe in the world but
But sometimes it just plays in my mind
Reserve tables with bridge view, light still shine on the city that I am soon to be king to
[?] gets poured from the right
I know becausе I used to serve to thе rich, too
I keep getting hurt by the people I love
Lately I don't go to sleep without seeing the sun
Just the problems that come with being the one
These other rappers dumb, I'll eat them for lunch
I keep gettin' snaked by the people I love, man, fuck love, man, trust, all people are fucked, man
I mean, don't get me wrong, I been hurt in the past
But it hurts like fuck when it's someone you trust, man
I don't know, maybe it's the full moon
Or these snakes trying to fuck up my good mood
More life, more weed, more cook food
More life, more weed, more good views
I been working on my conscience and my mental
Knowing I'll never bring everybody from my ends along
See, I moved out of ends so I just message now
And I'm checking on my friends, that's what friends are for
We always been the type of crew that keep our heads down
Amos got a flat, Shahim's got kids now
T's got a kid, Alfie's always had a kid
And he's always been a father and he's always been around
Free got his freedom back, Bey is a working man, Seki's still thinking 'bout the life that he never had
Chance has a chance now, he says he's never going back, I hope he's never going back
I only made it out by a tiny amount, I made Vega in two weeks without spending a pound
And I clocked I was illegal, and I didn't have my papers an' without it there was no way of me putting it out
So I said "Fuck that sh**, man, I'm going home
Man, I ain't staying here just to be nothing at all
Like, I already I tried my luck and it didn't work"
So one more Christmas with my missus and then I was gone
And then Shades called me up out of the blue
See, he's just one of those brothers that will battle for you
He said "He showed a couple songs to his manager
He loves the tunes and he's thinking of managing you."
He took me to my meetings and he showed me love
I always wonder how the brothers holding up
They say that you get wiser as you get older
Maybe one day I will be old enough
He was a nice guy and he wanted the best
In the end he just wasn't the best at owning up
We parted ways like brothers and I showed him love
Then it went sour over money like it always does
Man, I just keep getting hurt by the people I love
I didn't have no love and I needed the love
I need a big fat spliff and a T and a tub
I need a big fat spliff and a T and a rub
I didn't have no love, just me on my ones
Shoutout to my brother Alfie for keeping me strong
Every [?] 'round us only had little dreams
And no one round us even dreamt of the shit we was on
Nowadays we only write victory songs
Yeah, yeah
I don’t eat, I don’t sleep
I’m addicted to weed
And every morning I wake up and it's just me and no Queen
I don’t eat, I don’t sleep
I’m addicted to weed
And every morning I wake up and I am living my dream
I don’t eat, I don’t sleep
And I’m addicted to weed
And I'm just saying my peace, 'cause I could die in my sleep
I’m addicted to weed
I don’t eat, I don’t sleep
I know they only want me for my meat
And for the bones underneath, yeah
But I'm addicted to weed
I don’t eat, I don’t sleep
And I'm a stinky disease
That's why I work till I bleed
I'm a stinky disease
That's why I work till I bleed
I'm a stinky disease
That's why I work till I bleed
I'm a stinky disease
That's why I work till I bleed
