It was like
I forgot about my future and I pissed it away
Just to get pissed as fuck
That's pretty much the gist of the day
Distant and dazed
Consistently I pictured a grave
Had my name written on it
And the bricks would decay
A quick fix
It's like my wrist was amazed
It would spit away
Insisted on the slits that were made
An alcoholic warzone where every sip’s a grenade
I saw them empty stubbies turn into a ditch and a spade
Addictions to blame
For every single risk that I take
For every incident considered as my biggest mistake
For every time I said id quit it for my missus sake
Then stick with it for a minute til id miss it and cave
I guess that everybody thought it was a bit of a phase
But I was binging on the liquor
I was giving it praise
A victim of shame and sickened with a prisoners rage
Then I was staring down the barrel and it triggered a change

Did I ever really give enough?
I guess I did but it was only for a little buzz
I didn't think that I was worth it
I could turn around and get it
Let alone put in the effort
But I had to learn to work and never give it up
Sometimes I wonder if i wasn't ever given drugs?
What would have happened if my father didn't hit and run?
I think it's dumb, but would I still be on this path?
It took a while to find that it was sinkin’ deeper than the liquor does
A lot of peoples dreams are keeping me from sittin’ drunk
To see my friends are falling down that hole
Until they give up
I’m feeling shit cos I admit that I was in a rut
But when I found that I was out
I couldn't help but give a fuck
I've been a cunt but I was whinging
I was stuck
I wasn't thinking
I was dumb
And I was binging to get through the month
A bit of fun to get me pumped to go and hit a club
Just to get a bit of recognition for the shit I've done
For anybody struggling with stuttering lips
Who can't find the right words so they chuck on a disc
This is for the person with the cut on their wrists
Stuck in the grips of depression and its fucken abyss

And for the fans that committed
When they come to a gig
Told us they're getting through the day
When they're bumping our shit
For every person who had enough
As a suffering kid
Still fighting for a chance at life with the blood on their kicks

Yeah
And I’ma do it ‘til I'm breaking my bones
All the pain that is thrown at me
I’ma face it alone
The only dream I'm chasing is making a name of my own
And to be known as the greatest
In the state that I roam
So these haters can groan
But they ain't ya to know
That when I ring their phone later
They'll be changing their tune
I waited in a dark place
Now my patience has grown
Though it took ages to escape it
And the danger is shown
It's okay
Cos now I can remain in my zone
I've come along fucken way from the taste of patròn
From sitting at the train station after blazing a cone
To all these stages and these podiums
And planes that I've flown
Now these ladies are so in love with me
Their labias my own
It's like my pure blood and sweat
Is their favourite cologne
Cos now I'm sober
And my fucken motivation is honed
And so the only thing I'm craving is
My place on the throne
Yo, for every dickhead that ever said I was shit
Really never has lived
Through any of the messages I give
I was sitting as I waited to get ahead of it quick
I wouldn't settle for anything less for whatever it is
I still remember when I thought I was an irrelevant kid
And the memories still flicker with the venom I spit
I fell, forgot, and so instead I had to get ‘em to think
Better get in your head
So you will never forget what I did
And I've been at it for a minute now
I'm ready to flip
Checkin the clock
I'll never stop
Cos every second will tick
I'm not a regular ya wanna get competitive with
I'm a competitive prick
I'm heavy with any weapon I pick
And now I'm better than ever
I'm on a hell of a trip
We had to get it together but now you're getting the hint
Through every word that was written
It was a lesson we lived
But it's still the beginning
We'll never give in
Or ever we'll quit
So you'd better admit
That we’re the cream of the crop
We’re making music every other rapper’s dreaming to drop
Even the cops aren't fucken with the speed that we've got
We make a track and then another
Never eager to stop

Believe it or not
No quitting ‘til were greeting with god
Gotta give it everything and better keep it on lock
See that we’re not finished until the team is on top
And devastated the haters and have em leaving in shock

And were succeeding a lot
With every scheme that we plot
Your chick screams for every 16 that we jot

We got the kids on the street
Kickin frees on the block
Keep convincing the sheep
To disagree with the flock

And now too many rappers aren’t keeping their jobs
They get fired or retired when we’re cleanin’ the shop
So you don't really even wanna beef with the boss
We crucify ‘em quick
And then we take a leak on the cross

Can''t quit, ‘til I'm smokin’ my last bit
Casket closed
‘Til I'm thrown in a dark pit
Won't go smokin’ cigars
Toasting a glass
Boasting for laughs
Til I know that I've mastered
This sight that I've chosen to harness
Hoping and guard
This moment of calmness
Focusing hard but
Every single lyric I've ever written
A red rose grown in the garbage
Wanna know how broken my heart is
Look at the pain that I've shown in my bar vids
Or would you rather have a load of Minaj's
Flown in their starships through their retarded?
And yet their still shown on the carpets
Hoping their arse is voted the largest
You might know these other rappers as rappers
Until they manage to vanish
Cos I just know them as targets

Fuck rap
We’re well known and regarded
As those of a part of a moment that parted
A path for the hopeless
Showed them a spark
Try to open the paths
With the flow that we crafted
And until that moment passes
Gotta make sure that we’re known as regardless
I've chosen my throne
I was grown to the culture
No to the vulture
That flown to my carcass
Now most can't cope with the carnage
Can't let go
Sit alone in the darkness
Say that a home is a place for the heart
But the heart is the place
That is home for an artist
Any place that I've roamed and I've charted
Mates that I've known
And the shows when it lasted
Holding our own
Just told ya to go
So you're ready for the show
Then you know that it’s started
What
