[Verse 1]
I saw the vision and I stayed focused
Remain focus, the main focus
Yeah, from late nights to Daytona's
From great drive to Range Rovers
Yeah, soul searching is so worth it
Could've been an accident, still have your own purpose
The mandem don't work for me, they're my co-workers
'Cause the closest ones go the furthest, yeah
Why you telling me a friend of me's an enemy?
These people tryna start something just to see the end of me
I needed to be worse off just to see the better me
I still a**emble with n***as that I was in a**embly with
Chat sh** but you ain't telling me sh**, I'll outverse man
I ain't gotta tell him he's sh**, I'm now Bergkamp
You take shots I a**ist, and I'll swerve man
Hoping U-turn when you diss, yeah
It's all fun and games ‘til you play yourself
It's all runaway when you enslave yourself
I was made in the ends, thinking Maida Vale
So I turned into Young Fire 'cause I came from hell
Give her heaven before mummy gets to heaven
So I fire in the booth, daily duppy with the weapon
I'm in true religion ‘cause they want me in their denims
Putting two and two together, never made a lucky seven before
Go getters, this is get it galore
I'll put 20's on the floor and call it settling scores
‘Cause capital's for everybody but the choice was yours
I wondered if the culture could get rinsed anymore
And now the mandem got a Mercury and didn't plan it
Meanwhile gyal are getting surgery but still ain't Janet
It's like I need a velvet rope to give me balance
I don't even date no more and it gives me balance
‘Cause I don't trust these girls I'm contradicting myself ‘cos I love these girls
Yeah they love me well but do they love as well?
When I've got seven sisters who don't know about the snail
Who don't know about the Colombians, don't know about the Wickes
So I move wicked on them, never hold down a b**h
Who couldn't come and meet my children but could swallow my kids
I ain't got me any children I'm just saying what if, yeah
I drink, don't smoke but I'm faded
I ain't been this stoned in ages
I'm in a room full of smoke
Coming at Young Fire, that's a room full of smoke, I'm so dangerous
Couldn't get a list of plays, got no playlist
Promise you I won't come down when I go A-List
Can't follow fresh footsteps in old trainers
[Hook]
Is this worth more than money?
I may need patience
It's been a long time coming
Oh I, know why, they say, no grind, no shine
It's been a long time coming
[Verse 2]
Yeah
Grinding all day, I want my days back
Did a song about my hood, I think I'm Ray Blk
Late nights in the 15, yeah I gave back
But I'm tryna build up, turn a yout' to a made man
But he's got his steel tucked and he won't let it go
Indecisive, he's saying yes and no
But he remembers that he's street, can't forget the road
Probably do something he regrets, that's only if he gets involved
Yeah, that's the story of most of the youngers
Gotta go with your gut feeling I've grown in the gutters
Brotherhood will get my brothers out the hood
I had nothing to show for this, now I get shows in abundance
Yeah, what a feeling, what a feeling
I'm tryna protect my angels, deal with my demons
I'm tryna show you we're able without the preaching
Uh, I'm the difference between madness and genius, wow
Yeah
I can't believe this how did we get this far
Will these bars get me to a Bar Mitzvah? Ay
It's been a long time coming
Oh
