[Intro]
Banks
Loosechange on the beat
Look
[Verse]
Until we meet our maker
They can never break us
Look at how we came up
Money couldn't change us
Underestimate us
We gon' make you pay brah
Woke and wide awake brah
Sleeping make you late brah
Lacing up my trainer
Payment for that paper
Cakey like a baker
I don't put in labour
Razor for a hater
Forty One my favourite flavour, I'm a blazer
Get it right once and rectify a hundred failures
From the bottom the only way is up
This shit gon' either break you or it make you tough
The 'rales pull this motor then I'm major fucked
I got fifty in the boot and it's all in Dutch
I was waiting in the cut listening to...
Like everything I touched, I done doubled up
Still I ain't never talked no double Dutch
These brothers like to talk but wouldn't call my bluff
Keeping up with appearances, I couldn't keep up
Summertime when all my friend was out in 'Biza
I just stayed home with all this mess I had to clean up
Mr. Hands On, man I don't rarely put my feet up
You can ask my brothers, on my mother's, got my P's up
Learn to love yourself and you won't need love
Lighting all this weed up
Everybody love a drug dealer
Hi, my name is Benny, nice to meet ya
I've been doing this since Brandy and Moesha
Monkey on the table every time we playing FIFA
Stoney on my band, never wanted Blue Peter
Can't trust a soul, got me feeling like Skeamer
I'm a North boy surely, sure like Geordie
Grew up in Hornsey
I finesse like Corey
Tennessee and Dixy's, I ain't never had no Morley's
Graveyard shift and I still hit them in the mornings
Like I don't tell stories
This is my story
Uncut rawly
I ain't never been corny
I don't ever tell porkies
That is not for me
Most of you bruddas bore me
If you over thirty and you broke, you a sucker
What if you still broke and in your forties?
Stay up in your lane like Tory
Talking all these goals but I don't ever see you scoring
Either be inspired by your past or be haunted
Banks, the headmaster to your teachers
Your favourite rappers used to hit me up for features
Now it's me that probably needs them
But you'll never see me reaching
Rather go without my sleep
Or having anything to eat
Yeah I've been down upon my face but never been upon my knees
Can't appreciate success without stomaching defeat
How you supposed to be a leader if you never took the lead?
I ain't banging any deets, I really hustle in these streets
Started rapping with a baby now she nearly in her teens
Me and mummy dead the beef but we ain't really made no peace
So don't give her any P's, she'd probably spend it all on breeze
Sorry if you disagree, can only speak from what I've seen
Like, I don't trust nobody, I'm paro' of my own shadow
I can't hit no bitch if she ugly, I know I'm shallow
Mr. Antisocial, you lucky to catch a hello
Mummy did her best to send me down the straight and narrow
Had to break a promise, couldn't take the path she wanted
Make a living that ain't honest but at least I'm being honest
I ain't really on it if it didn't make a profit
If my plug ever slip up, I might pull him out his socket
Success only came before work in the dictionary
20/20 vision, I'm a visionary
If you ain't putting pon this table, you ain't sitting near me
When I was screaming out for help, nobody didn't hear me
I hung around with the thugs and we got down in the mud
My brudda A got a five for going shop with his gun
I nearly cried when he came home and got to cuddle his mum
'Cause that's my brother, we don't need any blood
Like, I don't politic in the hood, I chill in the jugg
I can't give a girl my heart but I might sling her the wood
And I might go back for seconds if the pussy is good
But I'm too focused on my G's because they bigger than Suge
Man I'm still in the mix, I said I'm still in the thick
Uncle Austin's still rolling with that thing in his whip
Hotel with your chick eating chicken and chips
It's only [?] in his whip, [?]
Paper plane 'til I'm lit
I fling a eighth in a spliff
I told them struggle never favoured the rich
Man I can't wait to get some money without taking a risk
Just wanna make my family proud and turn it fully legit
You dig?
