[Chorus]
Mmm, they try break you down when you don't fit into the system
I could follow the narratives, but from school I challenged it, I didn't listen
They try teach me I'm a slave but in my story I'm a king-pin not a victim
Alex Hunter, I was on the journey, but I realised the game's rigged and scripted
Mmm, they try break you down when you don't fit into the system
I could follow the narratives, but from school I challenged it, I didn't listen
Try teach me I'm a slave but in my story I'm a king-pin not a victim
Alex Hunter, I was on the journey, but I realisеd the game's rigged and scriptеd

[Verse 1]
They try break you down when you don't fit into the system
I determined my own success
They all want some percent
Don't let nobody pitch in
And, if I fell it's my fault
It's not 'cause the label invested in a new in-ting
When I say I'm independent
You won't find no pair ah company listed
I like to earn it, don't want it to be gifted
They didn't earn it, they ain't gifted
They just do collabs and a quick ting
Social climbing ain't uplifting
No numbers they don't care about his ting
But it gets views, let's take pictures
Labels got his progress all scripted
Feels that he owes them 'cah they tricked him
Eyes wired shut and the ears ain't listening
They don't trust what they see
But they wanna believe what the paper's printing
The choice is fucked and some man live it
Ching it, taking shots no drinking
Hit him, and then put the grub in cling
You got me
Some man see the light
Some man ain't got an inkling
Negativity sells, you gotta realise about this ting
If you try do the positive ting
They will say "This ain't the channel for that, you're a misfit"
Clout's one hell of a drug
Most man don't prosper but they risk it
So they go from the tubes to the pen
And I ain't talking 'bout the one with ink in
Mmm, better start thinking
Was it worth it to savour your dripping?
Or to get the little day bags dripping
Down to a tee like Lipton
The roads are cold
Everyday more dippings and convictions
All I see is victims making more victims
All I see is victims making more victims
[Chorus]
Mmm, they try break you down when you don't fit into the system
I could follow the narratives, but from school I challenged it, I didn't listen
Try teach me I'm a slave but in my story I'm a king-pin not a victim
Alex Hunter, I was on the journey, but I realised the game's rigged and scripted

[Verse 2]
Lyrical Simba, I'm a king so now I know that I scarred man, will turn traitor
I know about learnt behaviour
Hurt people, heard people
And I'm sure that my theory's backed by data
They lash out, like some makeup failure
We all been through something hectic
Don't have to reject it, try be greater
'Cause I was taught love thy neighbour
How you treat the cleaner and the head teacher
Shows how you're gonna treat me later
'Cah man wanna belittle the waiter
And suck up to the manager
Can't believe it, that's a sneaky hater
'Cah they know sucking up to someone with power will benefit them later
