Harvey Dent

Never bend my ways to the trends
Never spend my days in the ends
I keep myself to myself never waste time on phoney friends
I keep my circle small only got real ones around me
It's too easy for me to get sucked in and let all the drama drown me
Mum's struggling to pay rent
Payday came money's spent
Doing it all with the right intent
Taking a chance, flipping a coin but I make my own luck like Harvey Dent
Born in Tooting raised in the East but I couldn't find peace no matter where I went
See my history is a mystery to me that's why I've gotta make music to vent
Hoping that one day I'll find myself
Maybe along the way I'll find wealth
School never taught me streets never called me
So I made beats and told my story
I know a couple man that shot
Racks on racks all day
Couple hundreds all I've got
Bills on top of bills I've gotta pay
But I'll stay in my lane no envy
One day roll through in a Bentley
Sell out the O2 and Wembley
Collect all the cheques they send me

Do you wanna be like this
Do you wanna see all that
Do you wanna feel these things they feel
Do you wanna be a soldier in these fields
Moving weight on Friday night
Chilling with the baby Saturday morning
Head is banging phone is ringing
Girlfriend won't stop talking
I don't wanna be like this
I don't wanna live like that
I don't wanna waste my talent and skills
Making pennies behind retail tills
Working late on Friday night
Working early Saturday morning
Head is banging phone is ringing
Girlfriend won't stop calling

I will never change my views
Not for the money or YouTube views
Not for the radio plays
That's just the way I was raised
I am strongly opinionated but when the room's full I'm calculated
I know how to be PC and talk PG
At the same time be me
Getting asked questions about what I'm doing in life and what's gonna be next
Uni's done you've got a degree time for you to earn big cheques
I'm gonna do my own thing take control
Go with the flow let the punches roll
Be my own boss even if it kills me
Throw your hands up if you feel me
Can't say I wasn't tempted but I thank God that I stayed on the right path
It's gonna take more than a prayer cause the Angel of Death's gonna have the last laugh

Do you wanna be like this
Do you wanna see all that
Do you wanna feel these things they feel
Do you wanna be a soldier in these fields
Moving weight on Friday night
Chilling with the baby Saturday morning
Head is banging phone is ringing
Girlfriend won't stop talking
I don't wanna be like this
I don't wanna live like that
I don't wanna waste my talent and skills
Making pennies behind retail tills
Working late on Friday night
Working early Saturday morning
Head is banging phone is ringing
Girlfriend won't stop calling
