[Intro]
Dessie pon da beat
Hm
[Verse 1]
I wish keeping it real really was contagious (I wish, hmph)
When it's dark, your shadow will leave you
At some point, everyone changes (That's facts)
Still get signed down for Salah and I ain't spoke to that boy in ages
6am, all I saw was lasers and the murder squad just raided
I know the paigons want my head and the pigs want me condemned (Fuck 'em)
You said you'd send me a change, but I never see shit on my spends
You gotta keep an eye on your friends you don't know when the love or the hate can end (I don't know)
Dont ever lend out no skeng 'cah it can get mad if the angle bends
Y'know how many men been switched for the belly?
Turn your back they'll do you like Melly (snakes)
They fully wanna hear you slipped and the opps was waiting ready
Born alone, you'll die alone (That's facts), you're alone when you get buried
All them years and all them cellys you'd think I'd fold, but I'm holdin' steady
[Bridge]
Days and nights I spent by myself locked away in my room like an animal, like a savage
I saw the people I love, the people I would've died for, the people I would've killed for change in the blink of an eye
I've seen the most hideous of things with my own two eyes
I've been through situations you couldn't even imagine
Yet still I remain solid, unbreakable, unstoppable
[Verse 2]
If I've got you, I've got you, I'll give you my word (On god) and I don't want shit in return (nothing)
Just promise you won't ever snitch
I just hope that you'd hold it firm
Been jail too much man when will I learn? (I don't know), hah
And don't ever hate on the next man you gotta grind and wait your turn
Didn't lick no arse to get to the top (all on my own) solid as a rock
And they just can't stop me now, not even that bullet couldn't make man drop
Really do feel like I am the one (I do), let somebody tell me I'm not
I've been on the block till silly o'clock for my kids I need unlimited gwop
I grew up in care didn't nobody care, no father figure weren't there for me (fuck you)
That's why it feels safe in the trenches even though it ain't there for me
I don't want you to tell me you love me (don't), just please say a prayer for me
I can't complain or dwell on the past, about life weren't fair for me
[Outro]
They can't slow me down
Only god can stop me
They can't slow me down
