Dot Rotten - The Grief lyrics

[Bridge:] Grandma said you could do it son Mama said you could do it son Grandma said you could do it son Mama said you could do it son [Verse 1:] I spent so many days workin' Lost so many friends But saying names just ain't worth it If you know me already, you know that I ain't perfect Either indulging in Or rolling an 8th burning Letting the time pa** Contemplating this master plan as I write bars To have my name inside charts Not a lot get the opportunities I've been given Jump on a stage his name playing in front of pricy women Catch me in the back of a black cab with a light whizzin And the only time I've been backstabbed is when I'm nice and giving I let a snake in the circle That was my decision Now I'm beheading b**hes Henry the 8th inspired vision I'm patrolling the galaxy And they say the sky's the limit But I see the stars and they're waving at me I feel highly privileged Where am I going? How am I getting through? I'm on my way now A few years ago I never knew Nothing in the fridge The electric meter was beeping The radiator was cold so I used a camo for heating I was reloading the water in Winter so it was steaming The room looked like a sauna in Woolwich But still it was freezing Not to mention I was making beats Trapping for a way to eat Jumping jays ?? Tryna get from A to B Fans thinking I'm ridiculous I see 'em losing faith in me But I flipped it 'round so now they say to me [Hook:] We made it to the top With belief We were working while all the others would speak What you know about the pain? The grief? Knowing all of your dreams were within your reach You can do it son [Bridge:] [Verse 2:] They're having issues maintaining the stardom I spit cold cause my flow's like a lake in the arctic And this is real and that is fake You should stay in your margin They look like they be getting cake Go and survey their apartment ?? millionaires, that's off of road money And they ain't investing in no one They're in no hurry Currency'll be placed on your head if they're ever owed money So f** a chain and a rapper saying he's so gully Anyone can shoot Anyone can squeeze But not everyone can deal with the things that a k**er sees Cause them Omens be haunting him And that's only in his dreams You know how cranky a human gets when they ain't had no sleep That's why brothers pull out weapons That's all they ever know In a situation of life and d**h they're always on their own I see Demons on these London roads Squeezing when the gun's exposed Pieces of a crumbled home Police come in it's jungle closed The truth ain't the truth if there's a lie in it After the top there's only up I'm tryna buy minutes From the streets but I made it to chandeliers and nice dinners But fame is a b**h and don't let you live with a wife innit Fighting temptation Knowing her friend is waiting For the moment she can get me alone for the moment she can get me alone for a sensation And all of this is happening But still it ain't enough Then I visualize living rough Because... [Hook:] [Bridge:] [Breakdown/Verse 3:] Momma said you could do it son Go look in the mirror and see how far that you've come You have the power to freeze water and move the sun But if your life was in danger Just for you I would lose a lung And that left breathless Every day I'd be tested Making worldwide music But they don't know what my address is If I ain't in the studio offloading my aggression Then I'm at the door of a venue 7 friends on the guest list Please... So hear me out because I need to contact a major artist Sitting down playing the music I'm making them raid the market These haters searching for skeletons on my name to tarnish But I'm out of the city Chilling up in a place in Hartford Taking in the scenery Making it's a dream to me They say I'm close to my goals But to me I never seem to be But nothing gives me a reason to stop I love hearing them people screaming for Dot Because... [Hook:] [Bridge:]
