lyrics

I’m back in my happy place, outside
I’ve been levels above for time
There is no need to acclimate
Holding it down like gaffer tape
& you know I’ve been nang from back a day
Dem times I was humble & I was calm
But now I need all my praise & accolades
Bare weirdos that I could name
& a lot of these guys are sheep
But I’m not part of the heard
Like I never had a say
Trust me my pattern is different to theirs
So our settings could never calibrate
They try to give a man L’s
But I still brang the dub over like anime
Manga the saint of later day
So no weapon or barricade
Could stop the vibe that man has made
Saw me in the airport but I never had a case
I’ve got one bag on me & I’m getting a bag when I get there
& I’ll be back on Saturday
Now let that marinate
I don’t watch how no op’s operate
There is no static or traffic
when you’ve already got a lane
I used to say I was the best every other line
Now I aint got to say it
The only chattings I do
is telling my publishers up my offers mate
But they still want to act like I don’t exist
Some of the preed & stole my ting
They said that I wouldn’t make n dough like this
But I made a lot of moves off beats
Like I’ve got no timing
I clart,I don’t care about the co sign ting
They spend their time just profiling
Me one alone
No co pilot
Now I want to chat about the shows I did
When I done my tour
I rented a van & I drove my ting
When on the stage & chose violence
Man want to say they’re the best in the room
Ok cool stay there,hold my drink
said that I couldn’t make dough like this
But I made a lot of moves off beats
Like I’ve got no timing
I clart,I don’t care about the co sign ting
They spend their time just profiling
Me one alone
No co pilot
Now I want to chat about the shows I did
When I done my tour
I rented a van & I drove my ting
When on the stage & chose violence
Man want to say they’re the best in the room
Ok cool stay there,hold my drink
Underated is boring stop it
How many songs
How many projects
How many flow
How many styles
How many patterns
How many pockets
& I’ve clashed man bare times
& let’s be honest
How many losses
Sold out shows
How many got in
Merch gone too
How many got it
I won’t lie though
I spent way to much time caring
Complaining & comparing
Went off track & lost my barings
I was lashing out
But only I hurt
Like I’ve been starring
I was pressing instead of preparing
Call out my name & I won’t air it
Moving wicked but not nerfairus
& I’ve got strengths & skills in all areas
So when they try write me off I can hear it
They try rub me out like a radio song with swearing
Any bad vibes get sent my way
Get sent back like food with hair in
But all this chat about ends isn’t adding up
I was in GP I was in burnt oak
I was in becklow I was in Latimer
I went to freeze & lay low
Jumped on set & bad it up
I went to dreams in Harlesden
Bare yardies saying jack it up
I went to school with joy & Fatima
Late nights on the N5
I was with Boe & he used to tag it up
I got reloads in Canada Villa
& now I’m known in Canada
Them times there I was moving jobless
& I still ain’t got no manager
Now I look back & I laugh
None of them though I would last
I guess they could call it
Like the phone wasn’t charged
I thought that I need their approval
But I clocked that it’s all a facade
So now I just glow in the dark
