WSTRN
Bare Wit Me
[Intro: Louis Rei]
Yeah
Elz
Walk with me

[Verse: Louis Rei]
21 before I got it done
Before I found a new perspective, beg you watch it
I been in and out them projects with some dodgy cunts
Couldn't tell me 'bout a profit 'less it's of a sum
Around the time, me and Konshens on and off on one
Way before the chains, watches, we was cocky
But I'd lie about my age in hopes of showing it proper done
Now I'm tryna take it where we wasn't from
To be honest, a lotta hate where I'm coming from
When you're honest and they hate where you're coming from
And if you're famous, then they aiming for the juggler
But they don't know the pain, just a cover, just
This for my, case strugglers
Don't say governments
Looking at a bird if the jakes tried ruffle us
It used to hurt then it changed into nothingness
Ten toes firm, I ain't playing with the shufflers
What, you think I'm out here rapping for the fun of it?
I got people relying on me, shit been real
Had to glide with the iron on me in the vig still
Could really have been over from the clip still
Harsh reality, after the academy
I winded down the wrong road
Evaded being a casualty
Then playing like it's casual
In actual it's agony
Post-traumatic stress, yeah
I've been battling with sanity
Saying for some women, I can see beneath the vanity
Need to highlight all the feelings you be having
Now, how am I supposed to love another being if I'm mad at me?
And why I'm going all out of the way for you to tap the screws?
Don't make sense, does it?
I would believe you and your friends, does it
We're over-flexing and then the next
So my advice is focus on your next subject
Better yourself and then the rest, of it
You get it? Shit
In the last three years
I learnt more about myself than I could ask for here
Hold this Remy, gas is how I mask these tears
And also secrets if you knew them, heh, listen
I used to roll a bunch of n****s
But last I hear
Kinda separated paths
But it's calm, I'm here
I'm just learning like you are, my n****
Throughout the journey I just seen
I can't advance in fear, heh
Hit me hard but at last, we're here
I've been working from the bottom like the concierge
En garde game on fleek, on God I swear
Couple tin man tried it but their heart weren't there
I'm just tryna make it out before my stance impaired
When it's all said and done
And then my voice is clear
I'm gonna say I was a master here
Shoutout to Morgs and them
Real rappers still at large, and it's
Become a pen-game challenge
Caused insane damage
I used to stress about it 'til I let fate have it
Started WSTRN season then the rest came catting
Behind the scenes, but I'm still achieving all this madness
Wouldn't believe how the police tried to ban us
CID following me, around the manor
When I got the kids with me, the piggies need to back up
Don't see it on the news but we're used to the harassment
I'm just tryna be about my business and establish
Fuck the status, sometime I wonder if it even matters
Only, listening to Lauryn Hill's 'Ex Factor'
Spoke to Ake on the phone, he said ("I wrote ten chapters")
Keep at it, when you've touched road, don't go backwards
Don't take time for granted 'til you haven't got the access
Gotta keep it moving, things happen
Understand the universal law of yin-yang balance
Just imagine, seeing a n**** that you have beef with, imagine
You tryna level up and make peace, just imagine
You turn around, 'shoot people on the streets' shit
Not just him, his dad's on the scene, just imagine
Your mumma never raised you for no weak shit
Now you gotta double back for the remix
Imagine, imagine
Big man singing, now you're fighting for your freedom, imagine
New Lambo, we got the glow buzzing
And all them non-believers acting like they know suttin'
Talking 'bout our music's kinda grown on 'em
Centre of it all, I hear you know we sold London, just imagine
Overseas steezing with the mandem, get it cracking
It will work out if the whole team's active
West side riding like them Grove Street gangsters
See Js when you see me 'cuh I smoke trees, standard
It take the pain away, kinda feel that we pave the way
I ain't debating with no one, I'ma just say it straight
'Cause I'm a sensitive person so I be takin' pricks
See, when I came in this game, shh, I was like
I ain't feeling them people, I ain't feeling them
I don't believe in these people, I shouldn't speak to them
Don't identify as my equal, I don't need a friend
But then I seen all this evil, I had to look again
I ain't gon' lie and say, after I got signed
That I ain't never been a crook again
I gotta do this for the ones you got to [?]
Ain't no point in wasting this talent
Life's too short, I beg you take it and [?]
All this pain and this sadness
On my block, a couple doors down
A single mother with a small child
Took her life the other day and she was all smiles
They had a couple indiscrepancies, but sure
It weren't nuttin' big, more like
[?]
Now I'm at your door now
Now she's just getting buried in the floor now
My condolences to you and yours now
