[Verse 1]
I see the devil in my sleep
I thank God for every blessing I receive
A lesson learned is a lesson I can teach
And a winner never won without a lesson in defeat
Faith is my drug
And they're tryna give me life for possession of belief
Look at it, can't see air but it's there
And the fact we breathe's enough evidence to me
I used to have a heart of gold until I replaced it for a fist full of dollars
Now I know the only benefit is Ps
Living for today, afraid of facing tomorrow
Lying to myself, saying I've got everything I need
And I used to want a face I could borrow
Cause people used to tell me every day about my teeth
Insecure about my smile, so I went and put my money where my mouth is
Now it's evident to see
[Verse 2]
I'm just a victim of what someone else thinks
I was brainwashed while I was watching the world spin
"I would never conform" is what I used to tell Prince
Now at the world end, this whirlwind, bells ring
Well my name's set, and I hate when
Bruddas be talking like they know me but we ain't friends
Wastemen, they hate me
But if everybody loved me I'd be Raymond
But I'm Justin, clock Samuel
What you think it means? An a**umption I can't handle
I ain't never ever been the rapper I was labelled in the Sun
How can I be the artist that police can't cancel?
When I can literally be saying it's begun
And they instantly think that I'm saying it's a gun
It's begun, it's a gun
Ain't it a shame what this sh**'s become?
[Verse 3]
Now every rapper out wants to rap about trapping, well
I was trapping when I used to hang around Aaron
But I ain't jumping on the "every rapper out" wagon
My brudda, I'll still be k**ing it when that is out of fashion
Look how many errors I've survived
And I've been doubted from the second I arrived, never mind
Let's talk about the comparisons, the people they compare me to
Without buying my albums, the only thing they hear me do is
Freestyles, but meanwhile
The jury's out, I'm still being trialed
They wanna judge me because I stand in the stock
It's like people criticising a film they haven't watched
Watch this, Ghetts this and Ghetts that
But you'll never get sh** when Ghetts raps
On my microphone tekkers, boy
You ain't never have an open mind unless I co*k the TEC back
Bang! And all I want is next year
Is these words not to fall upon deaf ears
Anyway, that's enough about the industry
Let's talk about the man behind the music
The sidekick, the man behind the Movement
Two years silent, an*lysing the blueprint
And now I'm back from my sabbatical
You be acting like a break ain't understandable
Years in the game, it made me a cannibal
There's rules to this sh** but I ain't read the manual
I would've done so many things differently
Now every move I make's extremely tactical
[Verse 4]
I think out the box
While I'm lighting up something that'll stink out the block
Reminiscing - different day, same sh**
Repetition - it's a shame, ain't it?
Recognition, deep spitters remain nameless
Every listen, these lyrics evade basic
Men and women
The sample told me I should tell you how I feel inside
So for the last three minutes or so
I just let my guard down to tell the world what I'm feeling like
You don't feel me, why?
