[Single verse]
Back In the days all my olders were coke heads
All I use to do was smoke weed and rob mopeds
Use to think it was fun on the block
When we were rushing man on Reedwalk running from cops
Robbing man for their Pokémon cards
Every night me and T catching joke in my yard
My brother ran the block so I was royalty
Now he's gone only couple n***as show there loyalty
I wanted to be like the OG's
So I started selling weed with my Co-d's
Me and streetz went halfs on a Q
Don't laugh cos it's true
I turnt a half into two
To a O back then that was loads of cash
Woke up in the morning someone stole my stash
But it's cool though that only made me strong
Lenks said he was gonna bring me in but he was taking long
Mum kopped me decks started writing grime bars
Funds dropped me a Zed turn it to a 9 bar
But I wouldn't stop there cos I was on a mission
Me and Supa started going in so fuck the competition
Trying to hide it from mum that I get dough
Cah I'm still in year 9 with grillz and techno
Built an 8-ball tried to chill around fiends
Didn't work out for my billion pound dreams
Couldn't bring food home my brother was hot
Back then we used to argue with each other a lot
Started going west end
Stopped watching X-Men
Cos I was too busy tryna sell a next 10
I stopped kicking ball in the cage
Ahead of my time so advanced for my age
If a n***a violated I'd stab him with a knife
Them n***as spit bars I be rapping bout my life
Zino in my vein that's why I'm young and so wise
Seen Dewy get shot in front of my eyes
I've seen my friends go mad
Seen dudes that ball
Start playing roulette and lose it all
They gave n***a 30 years it's cold world
I'm looking at his son hoping his appeal goes well
