[Intro]
My voice is f**ed
So much work but
When I heard this, I-
I had to get certain tings off my chest and whatnot, you feel me?
[Verse]
Real friends
Some n***as only real when there's benefits
Couple n***as gone but we don't still attend the cemeteries
I only visited Wallace's grave twice, but I was with him
Every other day I wasn't in the studio
Late nights, you don't know that we was on the same grind
Doing road, I'mma hear through the grapevine
But rumours go that Reggie ain't the same guy they used to know
I'm probably not, cause I don't rob a shot
It's funny, I became less hood when the robbin' stopped
Grew up in church with Marlon, André and Robert
But me and Mar were different from André and Robert
Was André my brudda for life though?
Marlon my brudda but when I dial his number, I get
"Wah gwan family? I can't hear from you"
But who's ringing who? He ain't ringing my phone
You ain't a rapper but yet you want a verse from me
You own a rental company but you wanna give me a hearse for free
But you my n***a doe
Yeah, yeah, you my motherf**ing n***a doe
We go back like Year 9, yeah right
Further, we go back like Craig David's hairline
With me and Wes it's like it's love and hate
Hate him when I'm with him, I don't see him, then it's love again
I want my n***as with me every single booking
Who thought I had my n***as with me every single booking?
If bruddas weren't with me in these back streets
Then bruddas ain't with me at the GRAMMYs
Hold tight my n***a CJ, I know you want the best for me
But please try and see things G's way
You was with me when I was detained
Look how far I've come
I know I ain't the biggest, but give me some leeway
I know it's hard to understand but I don't wanna be Drake
I'm quite content being GH
Just saw something that f**ed up my day
If only I could say this n***a's name, if only
What the f**, fam? I thought you was my Co-D
How you linking one of my baby mum's bredrins and never told me?
I hope when you hear this, you feel like a phony
Sideman antics, address it when you phone me
Dad, I know you're pissed with me, Kadeem and Aretha
It's a pity we ain't closer to [?] Kareen and Shanika
But that's just how it goes
You only see your cousins at a funeral
What's love when you feel like the love isn't mutual?
All I know is how much I love my sister and my brudda
Anyone f**s with one or the other, I'll hold my gun up and I'll shoot 'em all
Yeah, I'm a family man, trust
My dad's mum lives in Shepherd's Bush
When you're young and you're from East, that's an excuse
But when you're older but you drive, it's how come you don't see your granny that much
It's mad
I love my gran though
Get me?
[Outro]
