My Letter

This ain't what they teach you in school
How fucking up then
Was running in hallways (peak)
Growing up didn't care for the rules
Had a head so big
Couldn't fit through the doorway (mad)
And mum did whatever she could
But the things we had we would split like four ways (wow)
So when they ask now were you driven from young
No lie I reply fam, always (yeah)
Gotta a lotta love for my hometown
But I got a lotta love for the road (gone)
Always had that restless energy
Moving around where energy flows (ride)
And I've had time for chicks
But now I got a wife I avoid them hoes (swerve)
With my experience I'm fine
I'll catch what life can throw (safe)

Like a baseball player
I'm Babe Ruth with the way I got perfect pitch (swing)
From day one no shank on my belt
It was instruments by my hip (play)
And it's mad I've had people say
This level of talent just can't exist (why)
If real don't recognise real
I gotta find a way to go burn that bridge (Pow)
Spark that, light that, burn that (up)
Now it's getting so hot in the furnace (heat)
I don't have no time for a regime putting me down
I'm Guy Fawkes, burn it (go)
I'm pyro, crazy, heard it
Watch how the way that it falls is perfect (nice)
Sitting on court dates now
Don't care, fam I just can't wait for the verdict (pray)

Castaway on the deep blue sea
But I'm chill, like time on my own (it's chill)
Time to reflect, time to repent,
See how much that I've grown (loads)
There'll be storms ahead
I'll weather them even when I'm drenched through to the bone (drown)
Cos solitary thoughts
Are the best of them
I'm so in the zone (focus)
It's the very last time I'm gonna say it
Don't say the tune's dead if you're gonna play it
And don't hate on a man when he's doing well
The same men will be the ones ending up in jail
Take care with your life cah you only get one
One wrong move, that's it you're done
One chamber of a loaded gun
Just like when the roulette wheel gets spun

When the future's red (what)
I always see pain in it
But it strengthens me to choose the right path
Black or green, either is graft (both)
Cos I know it's not down to chance
Or we'd all be hopeless
Stuck when we can't use our skills
And bring success with focus
All started with Adam and Eve
A symbol, you ain't gotta believe
Our ancestors talk to us
And help us see what we got to achieve
I'm grateful for the love I've received
Learnt from times when I've been deceived
After all of the struggle I'm free (why)
After all of struggle I'm me

So this is a letter
That I wrote direct to the people listening (yeah)
If you've ever had pain in your life
Then turn me up, focus and listen in (close)
You can feel the pain, that's energy
Harness that and you'll be unstoppable (fact)
I can see the future now as clear as day like an ancient oracle (see)
Becoming a beast, becoming a man,
Becoming a woman, it's part of a plan
If I hadn't followed my own advice
I wouldn't be doing as good as I am
Shit
And when the walls come falling down
Be the only one who's standing there
With your head placed in the crown (you're king)
