Raised

I was born with a second job
Yeah I'm coming from that struggle
Where if you ain't known to man
You can hold a bang
Like how'd you like that cuddle?
This is way more than a rap hustle

Yo
Yo
Respect Da ting!
Listen up
I was raised well
That don't mean that I won't raise hell
Don't sell drugs so I might not sell
Couldn't care less if you can't tell
It's coolie hair I don't need no gel
Styled like this they call me Miguel
Yeah I got a spice and I call her Mel
In your recent form all I see is L's

Cos I was raised well not well off
Yes I found suttin I was set on and set off
No I ain't someone you can tell on or tell off
Famalam I do not let on I let off
Call everyone's bluff I'm dead on I dead off
Call everyone blood, like red on or red off
But know that Dark-0's my brother
Fam I swear that I could pull 'Sen' off

Cos I was raised well not dragged up
Trust any funny business gets flagged up
Lewisham road with man with a shank tucked
That road next to the Tesco's flats bruv!
Joint enterprise could've seen man banged up
Two hoodied black boys weren't clocked thats -luck
I've been riding my luck ever since
Guys wanna come in my face never flinch
I just switch never hint
If I fight for my life you can't live
I'm going, going gone you can't bid
Hammer's been brought down
It is what it is
I'm so grime I couldn't write a bridge
Too much to live for couldn't knife ya ribs
Don't say he never needed that
Fam he did!
Man got a hiding, then he hid
(Mad)
Cos I'm from the square but not that circle
The bad boy ting is dead
I saw the bad boy ting
I went left
Meaning
I did me instead
You can say what you want in jest
I'll make you eat your words
Injest them
Me and my pen are best friends
But it's not far away
It's no pen friend
I've been on mic since Ant n' Declan
Fake 110's in west-end
I'm a stand up guy no question
I'm a stand up guy no heckling
Bankrupt guys wanna add 2 cents in
Man are 2 faced on a Harvey dent ting
I'm really on a roll with all the defriending
But I land on heads when I flip (haha)
It's 32 waste man joined at the hip
Buss blanks, must be the snip
You're not a bad boy not even a smidge
I'm going inside regardless
I told them just lemme do the tip
Because they weren't there when Manny got ripped
When I lit up the mic with a skank that's stiff
After which it's like which girl should I pick?
I cross gal that's tick
Here's some of the Henny and coke for a sip
And these guys won't last very long so
I'm the battery life in a brick!
And I heard about what they did
Trust them
Don't trust them that's how it is
So many domestics where I lived
Me I got nits I was friends with the kids
We yam the whole apple including the pips
Then I got government help for my kicks
And they tell me stay out of harms way
But that's my address, that's where I live
(How Sway?)
See I'm not bad my area is (tell them straight)
See I'm not bad my area is
I'm not bad my area is
But I still have faith
