In & Out
Ard Adz Lyrics

Thinking where to start this, in the bricks for years
I'm reflecting on my past and how I've been living in the struggling urban areas for years.

Home is where the heart is
I believe home is where one's emotions and feelings lie, rather than just a physical space.

On my knees for days, stressing and i need to pray
I'm under a lot of stress and finding it hard to cope, so I'm turning to prayer for guidance and comfort.

Let the devil know i′ll never be a target
I won't let evil forces control or harm me, I'll never let myself be a target for their ill intentions.

Pray to that, sinning but i pray salah
I know I'm not perfect and have committed sins, but I still pray to Allah (God) for redemption and guidance.

If you ever done me dirty you can't take it back
If someone has wronged me, they can't undo their actions and I won't forget or easily forgive them.

Pissed i lost 80 bags, but i′ll know i'll make it back
I'm angry I lost a substantial amount of money, but I'm determined to recoup it and make it back through hard work and perseverance.

Tried to pay for my brothers bell, i don't pay for tax
I was trying to help my brother out, but I won't bow down to the authorities and pay taxes like a law-abiding citizen.

Gliding on my comrades
I'm traveling with my friends and fellow gang members.

I′d rather die with them, i ain′t sliding out in combat
I value my loyalty to my comrades and would rather face death with them, rather than abandon them in a dangerous situation.

Fuck these little labels and there dirty little contracts
I'm frustrated with record labels and their exploitative contracts.

Fuck the word brother, just muma in my contacts
I don't trust anyone and only keep my mother as a contact, dismissing the idea of a brotherhood or family outside of my immediate bloodline.

G, G, for life i'm go getting brothers talk bad
I have a group of friends who are always hustling and making moves, even when others criticize them for it.

Money quite like my phone settings
I'm always making money, just like how I have my phone volume on full blast all the time.

If it weren′t for my only son, i'd be the best man in my own wedding
If it wasn't for my son, I would have already achieved so much success that I would be proud enough to declare myself the best man at my own wedding.

I got love for you, doesn′t mean i trust man
I may care about someone, but I still have trust issues and won't easily let them into my inner circle.

100 pellets in my shotty we don't bust blanks
I'm carrying a loaded shotgun, and we aren't afraid to use it for real or just as a warning.

What′s a burner no cartridge?
A 'burner' is a gun without any bullets or cartridges.

What's a label no artist?
A label is nothing without talented artists to promote and produce.

What's Aladdin no carpet?
Just like how Aladdin relies on his magical carpet for transportation, I too have my own ways of getting around and achieving success in life.

Nada
Nothing.

My brother′s mad busy but he knows the plan
Even though my brother has other obligations, he still understands and supports our shared goals and aspirations.

He don′t roll my shows but he'll roll to bang
My brother may not accompany me on my performances or appearances, but he'll still join me in violent situations or criminal activity.

Its only love i show to fans
I may have fans who support me, but the only type of relationship I have with them is love to show appreciation for their support.

Stop complaining, how you broke brother, grab a own slang
Stop complaining about being broke and adopt your own unique hustle or language to stand out and achieve success.

Free my brothers riding life sentences
I have friends and gang members who are incarcerated for life, and I want them to be released and have another chance at life.

I don′t know much about percentages
I'm not familiar with statistical data or calculations.

(I don't know shit)
I really have no idea.

But i know this industry′s fake blud
Even though I may not know much about statistics, I can tell that majority of the music industry is fake and unauthentic.

(How much of it?)
To what extent is the music industry fake?

Like 95 percent of it
I believe that around 95% of the music industry is fake and disingenuous.

On my meek mill feeling to expose yah
Similar to how Meek Mill exposed other rappers in the industry, I too feel the need to expose fake people and their ulterior motives.

Or even better, stick you up like a poster
If exposing someone isn't enough, I'll resort to violence and rob them for what they're worth like a wanted poster.

These man impostor's, dirty as a vulture
These people are impostors and fakes, and their true nature is as scavengers and vultures.

They do it for the money not the culture
These fake people are only in the music industry for the financial gain, not the creative or cultural aspect of music.

Is that real
Is it really true or genuine?

I′m in the flats still
I'm still living in the poor, run-down parts of the city.

Mum's still a g, always show me her back heels
My mother is still a gangster and powerful figure, and even wears high heels while still being tough.

You don't know how that feels
You can't even begin to understand my experiences and struggles.

I've been on the roads, getting new comers
I've been on the streets and recruiting new gang members or followers.

Your nothing on the road but a new comer
You don't have any significant status or influence on the streets, and are just a newcomer.

Paper chasing that′s for certain
I'm always chasing money and financial success, there's no doubt about it.

Roll with burners that a German, if you want me then it′s curtains
I carry guns with me that are powerful and deadly, and you should fear me since I won't hesitate to use them.

I got pain that i'm firming, hella bitches that i′m curving
I'm dealing with my own emotional pain but handling it well, and I have a lot of women pursuing me but I'm dismissing them.

And i'll still rather sign to my son before virgin
If I had the choice, I would rather sign a record deal with my son rather than a major label like Virgin.

It′s dirty
The music industry is a dirty and corrupt place.
