Prey
avelino Lyrics

Last year man spent more dough than I made
In the previous year, someone else spent more money than I earned.

If you knew what I made
If you knew how much money I earned.

Went and got a yard in the sticks with a maid
I went and bought a house in a remote area with a female domestic worker or servant.

Mayfair with a ting in the Range
I have a beautiful woman by my side riding with me through Mayfair in my luxurious Range Rover.

She's from the hood overseas and man's from a similar place
She is from a similarly rough locality overseas just like I am.

Where they got rid of my mates
The place where they killed some of my friends.

Worn out, still ain't got rid of that trauma
Although it has been a while, I am still feeling the impact of that traumatic incident.

Ever seen a sawed-off?
Have you ever seen a shotgun with the barrel shortened?

Streets get hotter than sauna
The streets are more violent and dangerous than a sauna is hot.

Could've been a church, you coulda been a baller
We could have taken a different path in life, like becoming religious or pursuing a career in sports.

Yeah, they took shots at me
Yes, they have shot at me.

Shottin' really turned me into a shot-caller
Dealing drugs has given me power and influence in the drug trade.

Tryna get rid of the quarter
I am trying to sell my remaining drugs to get rid of them.

Last year I really done a quarter-mil
Last year, I earned a quarter of a million dollars.

Should've felt awful after but I did it all for the thrill
I should have felt remorseful, but I did it to satisfy my urge for excitement.

Never had a bill, let me sort that bill
I have never received a bill before, but let me take care of it now.

All of that guilt, bro's guilty and he lost the appeal
I have been feeling guilty, and my brother is also guilty and has already lost the court case.

Shit, my whole circle's in the box that I'm riding 'round
My entire group of friends is in the car I am driving.

German whip might pull up in China town
I may drive my German car into Chinatown.

American tings, I'm flyin' them out
I am bringing American women to me from other places.

Next belly I'm hitting, I'm buying a house
After I have sex with the next woman, I plan to buy a house.

Cah last year man spent more dough than I made
Because someone else spent more money than I earned last year.

If you knew what I made
If you knew how much money I earned.

Went and got a yard in the sticks with a maid
I went and bought a house in a remote area with a female domestic worker or servant.

I'm in the band' with a ting in the Wraith
I am in the Rolls-Royce Wraith with a beautiful woman.

She said her family's rich and I couldn't relate
She told me that her family is wealthy, but I did not understand what that is like.

I was in the hood with my mates
I was in the rough neighborhood with my friends.

Grew up in broken homes with bastards
We had difficult childhoods and were raised by abusive or neglectful parents.

Yeah, put them on blast and they might just blast it
Yes, if I expose them, they might retaliate against me.

Getting rid of class-A, we ain't doing no masters
We are selling drugs and do not need to go to college or earn a master's degree.

Look what we own, never had goals but the mandem were targets
We might not have had aspirations, but other people saw our potential and targeted us for violence anyway.

Remember when man licked shots by the football cage
Remember when we fired gunshots near the football field.

Now I'm in the yard with Lingard 'round all my football mates
Now I am in the house with Jesse Lingard and my other football friends.

Went long, coulda took more pain
We ran away when we should have endured more suffering.

See man rather have food and cook more 'caine
We prefer to have food and use it as an analogy for making more drugs to sell.

Yeah, had a lot on my plate, now the mandem are eating
I had a lot of responsibilities, but now my friends are succeeding because of our drug business.

I ain't going on dates, new tour dates cah the gyaldem fienin'
I am not interested in romantic dates, because the female fans are eager to meet me during my tour dates.

STK on a Saturday evening
I am at STK, the upscale steakhouse on a Saturday night.

I know I'm famous, stainless kettle and I might just freeze it
I know I am a celebrity, and I might even turn a stainless kettle into jewelry to flaunt my wealth.

Gotta get diamonds with all this pressure cah we AVS1
I have to get diamonds because of all the scrutiny and pressure we are under as a gang with the AVS1 (All Villains Squad).

Been down for my whole life, man are upset when the next man gets up
I have been in difficult situations my entire life, and people become angry when someone else rises up.

Sleep when you're dead, don't tell me I'm slept on
I will rest when I am dead and do not complain that people are not giving me enough attention or recognition.

Had to invest in myself, don't need an investor
I had to spend money on myself and do not require an external investor.

Nah, but last year man spent more dough than I made
No, but someone else spent more money than I earned last year.

If you knew what I made
If you knew how much money I earned.

Got a yard in the sticks with a maid
I bought a house in a remote area with a female domestic worker or servant.

I'm in the ends with a ting and her mates
I am in the neighborhood with a beautiful woman and her friends.

Lookin' at yutes on the block like man's from a similar place
Observing young people in the area and feeling as if we share similar backgrounds.

Yeah, yeah-yeah
Yes, yes-yes.

A-V
Avelino, the artist's name.

From the gutter to glory, bitch
From a lowly position to a position of greatness, expressed with vulgar language.
