Yeah stony boy now tell us where have you been
All this time what has been going on
I mean with your music career and stuff
Firstly let me have a drink coz I'm thirsty
Hurt me that's what they did through my journey
Worsely I was depressed needed nursing
Thirty I'm still feeling young and quirky
Sadly I spit it out and I have no mercy
Madly I get the confidence from my Story
Family this is what I do it for
Hip hop saved my life, now I have to pay the price
Every move that I made had to be a sacrifice
So much trouble in my brain, now I have to break the ice
Make a move and roll the dice, Take a screw and poke some eyes
People say I've lost my mind, Yes I did
I use to be calm and nice, happy I was signed
Felt like paradise, It was all a lie, broken dreams a waste of time
Now I'm independent feeling superfly
See I've been through them trials
I was thrown to the wolves with no knife
But I still made it out and survived
I'm that stubborn bull ready to strive
Touch a nerve then I'm ready to strike
Never ready to die
Can I have the next question please
Firstly let me have a drink coz I'm thirsty
Hurt me that's what they did through my journey
Worsely I was depressed needed nursing
Thirty I'm still feeling young and quirky
Birds flee they can sense a storm coming early
Sadly I spit it out and I have no mercy
Madly I get the confidence from my Story
Family this is what I do it for
I do it on a daily basis, working with them scary faces
See me walking down the streets hijacking many wages
I'm going through some crazy stages
Everything is taking ages, find me rescuing my soul from deadly cages
This music made me make some heavy changes
Never trusting anyone, only angels
One God and not them phony labels
Dont judge me by accent, thats very racist
I'm keeping it real, doing it still
Seeking goodwill, what's the problem
I'm on my feet chasing doe for a need
At night I can't sleep, Im hearing walls trying to speak
Is it me or it's evil telling me to steal
I ain't going down the road, robbing peter to pay paul
I've pass through these times, only business on my mind
I've crashed all these flies, no more sickness in my life
I've opened my eyes and im never turning blind
Goodbye to them punks, now im taking what's mine
Firstly let me have a drink coz I'm thirsty
Hurt me that's what they did through my journey
Worsely I was depressed needed nursing
Thirty I'm still feeling young and quirky
Birds flee they can sense a storm coming early
Sadly I spit it out and I have no mercy
Madly I get the confidence from my Story
Family this is what I do it for
If I never wrote a verse would I live
Naa
If i was a millionaire would i really I quit
Naa
If I was a true gangster would I kill
Yeah, yeah, yeah
All these questions running through my script
Fuck it I'm sick and tired of these snakes giving me fake smiles
Two face mates trying to eat me alive
This is that soldier move on survival mode
Firstly let me have a drink coz I'm thirsty
Hurt me that's what they did through my journey
Worsely I was depressed needed nursing
Thirty I'm still feeling young and quirky
Birds flee they can sense a storm coming early
Sadly I spit it out and I have no mercy
Madly I get the confidence from my Story
