My presence is a present to these peasants
Handle birds I ain't talking feathers or no pheasants
In the trenches searching for treasures
The hood's a fucked up place got to take opportunities that it presents
Breaking bread with my breddas is ever so pleasant
Man's handy with the scissors they call me tremendous
I'm bound to blow like throwing gasoline on embers
Cut the head off a snake that pretended to be my bedrin
As an adolescent I was handling weapons
Wouldn't pet to put you on a shirt or in a pendant
Or in the Independent I do my own ting not I'm not inner depending
I'm Henry in attack and like Maldini defending
F*ck pigs and the judge I'm not tryna see defendants
Need to feed my dependants pengtings pree the entrance
Sicker than the morning time of a bad b that's preggers
Gal are moving ratchet have my belly retching
In a flat with tenants or in the trap with Terrence
Drinking cans of Tennent's while I bag this lemon
I'm just tryna get paid I don't wanna have to crack no melon
I'd rather be stacking my bread up blowing the back off Helen
Mask on my face 'cos feds tryna catch this felon
I ain't tryna get slapped a sentence and face unjustified brutality like the attacks in Yemen
Did you catch that reference
For my sins I need Imams and Reverends
So much on my plate I need to plan my errands
Learnt from my mistakes so I thank my errors
It made me the man I am today plus I thank my parents
Thank my friends and the fake ones who made a blank appearance
Hid it in the basement I'm talking straps in cellars
Grew up on the pavement go and run back that sentence
F*ck fame and clout you can take back your credit
I grew up with killers that will leave man shanked and deaded
I hate this life but you'll probably find it interesting
Always up and down the m ways I'm not into resting
Big red machines with cane but I'm not into wrestling
Your not bad I don't care who you went to pen with
Can't relate to liars only real ones I connect with
Time's money so its pain when the line has no connection
Can't pay we waiting outside like debt collectors
I need twenty two acres for my next investment
My future brighter than VVS's on a necklace
But when I look back in retrospective
I wish I didn't do things that lead to me getting arrested
And was more humble with my moves instead of getting tempted
But f*ck it at least I didn't get an attempted
So if I get the drop on your crop then your tent's getting emptied
Best be ready for the beef 'cos them weapons expensive
Send man up to the sky like a propeller's engine
Threw the lid to bottle and necked it
After I poured some on the floor in remembrance
For my loved ones in the sky that I'm never forgetting
Most man from my ends respected never leave my friends neglected
Unfamiliar face the young boys G checking him
Try make a pass it's getting intercepted
Young strikers throwing balls like its ten pin
Tryna turn dreams to reality like Di Caprio in Inception
My heart drops when I see bully vans at intersections
Easier to control us when they divide us into sections
Any ends this fella attends I got friends in
Bring my people together like I'm Jesus resurrected
You know how many times I've caught bly's feels like divine intervention
They leave the hood deprived and neglected
And wonder why we ride to get cheques in
Reputation and ego mixed with pride is a next ting
