Mined myself so deep I lost all my reserves
Empty chamber that's about to collapse
Mind myself this week there's f*ck all left to preserve
The spite he holds so deep revenge he has to exact
Dug out his natural resources he's empty she knows there's f*ck all to extract
Asks him why he's checking the locks on the doors
He hoped she didn't notice
But we're like the blocks defined by our floors there's no smoke but we're choking
Tripped over dreams of our past dragging him forward while he's still broken
Slipped through the fields and the grass the concrete's slowly becoming our cloak
We're some lost boys tryna find our way to neverland
Peace and prosperity, all my niggas dreams evergrand
Rubies and sapphires, ocean views next to seven sands
But blood, sweat and tears put to pen and paper by severed hands
Weathered plans, led to too many tearful goodbyes
Cast away by the tides, as they leave me to dry
Approaching dusk, see a tinge of the crimson in skies
Word to the wise, tryna seize all the means to survive
East side soldier tryna make it in the big city
Dog eat dog, we in the pound and it get real gritty
Step into my shoes you'd find it hard to run a mile
Ain't been happy in a while, momma's saying it's a real pity
Everyday a trial, watch your back or it get real sticky
All the while, just pray my brothers keep real with me
Never kneel in the face of the abyss, I know that ignorance is bliss
Well it's a shame cause I been real witty
Love's gon' be the death of me no word of a lie
What brings me closest to peace upon release is demise
And if you know this, caprice will be unleashed in your mind
Although this could be dismissed within the blink of an eye
Bye
I'm sonning niggas don't need paternity
Anti taking over, we're levels beyond fraternity
Niggas riding waves then they act like they never heard of me
I'm always online, by definition eternally
Feds posted outside for mad time
F*ck it let me jump off the cell like Mankind
Take man for bad guys claim is it's gang ties huh
I've had gang ties since I was baptised
Winning silver second place medals like a magpie
How the f*ck a flower meant to blossom when you chastise
For anything
Can't take Anti.Net for any kings
Hoe Street to Seven Kings the powers are meddling
Had to learn to fight or I'd leave school with black eyes
Groups of young black guys in Britain don't rank high
Now my bullshit tolerance ain't mad high
From scuffed creps on durex and broken crack pipes
Inclusion of working class kiss my back side
Punched down and played yourself like a bagpipe
Cheffed in the capital like Shanghai
I ain't from London f*ck em I'm tell em right
I'm from the bits nigga
Raised up in a dark hole
Wood Street Marlowe
Show weakness and I'm swallowing your heart whole
Tings never been black and white like a barcode
Feds embargo still shipping cargo
Street lights bust so the ends looking charcoal
Black Donnie Darko
Living in a vortex cocaine gnarly
Nike Goretex all black's my khaki
In a warzone and we're all in the army
