[Intro]
Nox

[Verse]
It might look like i'm boujee but
I'm still struggling to pay bills
Expectation of young kids
Nobody cares how it feels
I can't wait for the day that, I drop cash on my mum's table
But not for the flex or impress
Just to stop her slaving
Three jobs on a minimum wage
At five o'clock, dinner was made
And that's two kids, I had no dad, I took counselling
Set backs and thanks to mum and her wisdom
I finally learnt my values
All this currency, it's so dumb to me
Through experience it's clear to see
That my voice can be used to save a generation, that's clear to be drownin'
And when I post a vid, comments from kids say that I gave them a break from the frownin'
Losin' all my boys I grew up with
It's really screwed me up
It's just weird because, you never see pain till it's too late now I'm sat up late, can't complain
Cause my life looks good online
All these girl's wanna slide in
But they're not here for my tough times, you won't catch me replyin'
And now this music is therapeutic
I'm writing bars till I'm snoozin'
Get the fuse up, think I'm loosin'
Need to shape up got me boosted
Now I'm grown up I'm gonna do bits
[Verse 2]
I get worried for my bro cos
I miss that bond that we used to have
Now I moved out of my small town
Relationship's got bad and that
Just know if you're listenin'
I can't wait till I see you
It's like once in a blue moon but brother, I miss you
Let's go back to the dad part
And to be fair, he's been great to me
But I didn't see him for two years
I love you, but it sticks with me
I guess I'm writin' to you now
Thanks for this help in my dark times
Always made sure I was alright, all my pain, you would help fight
Didn't have money to eat
Always thirsty or [?]
When I was close to defeat, help me achieve
Help me start up this movement, I don't think you knew what it meant to me
Now I get kids comin' up to me discussin' our dreams
It's mad to see
O-I-R to the death of me
Cause it's way more than a t-shirt
It's my struggles, breaking the norm' and accepting your blessings when you feel hurt
And I just hope that
I will never stop rap
To explain it to you?
[Verse 3]
It feels like I'm accepting my inner demons and my flaws when I drop tracks
Cause I don't care if this song bangs
Cause I've heard it a million times when I sleep at night
I'll pen a few bars cos' it helps me sleep all right
I wanna say a few more things till I leave, goodbye
Fuck social media
There's no love it's just all hate
Don't know what your loved ones goin' through, reach out before it's too late

[Outro]
Yeah, facts
Mm, reach out 'fore it's too late
