I told my brother slow down with that hustle though
Even though I know he's trapping and he won't change
When life's good brother time is a funny thing
I've seen day dates turn into court dates
For that skelly man'll turn a brother skeleton
Man are peddling but going nowhere like a peloton
So basically you're trapped in a trap
And I know a couple acts getting active off the perks and the fenigan
A jack boy called Jack
A plumber in his nine to five
But when it's time to ride or glide we're the best of them
You ain't seen that star in your face when you're laying in your crib
Waking up thinking I must be in Bethlehem
I've pennied many men
Penny man, 50 Cent left him with his head
Leaking claret by his cherry red
On a drain man it's very dead
I told bro stop wasting petty on these petty skets
I told my brother slow down with that hustle though
Even though I know he's trapping and he won't change
Time is a funny thing
I've seen day dates turn into court dates
How we came out the abyss is a mystery
Not telling his side of the story or just history
Them drugs dumb you down physically
Ignorance was never bliss to me
Locksmith we done flipped the key
On a strip discreet
Between the raps and reality
There's a discrepancy
If it's on me stay away just call it leprosy
I don't wanna have it on me but it's mandatory
God made it all the man that tree
And we done tore it all down how that's sad to see
And we done it gradually, what a catastrophe
Dirty roads I should hit it with a Mr Sheen
There's little niggas with a big machine
One of the guys said I think too deep
I said bruv
Ignorance was never bliss to me
Yeah, ignorance was never bliss to me
I be observing shit meticulously
I be thinking we ain't nothing but a piss in the sea
And everything I do to something must be bigger than me
My shorty same around the waist but we thicker than thieves
I do it for my daughter and my lickle-est niece
Product of the castle built piece by piece
Yeah, ignorance was never bliss to me
Ignorance was never bliss to me
Hard to communicate
When you're sitting in these Q&A's
Saying you've only got you to save
Same way that you've only got you to blame
When you make them mistakes and you choose your fate
Not the spot, not the blunt, not them stupid mates
That you choose to save tryna speak truth and game
Old habits die hard when you sit behind bars
Head back try imagine in the stars
But you can't cause it's been too long the time's ours
Waste yours tryna get paid and drive fast
While I drive smart BMW slide past
My chance getting it all for right price
Understand that the risk is
Don't make it all for my kids' kids
Want them to give it to their kids' kids
The nepotism is a something that we live with
So I'ma make another tea, dip some biscuits
Spidey and amazing friends
Plays on business class screens as I leave the ends
Fly overseas never seen again
Me and my son fall asleep on them reclining seats
Hear the beats and retrieve the pen
Yeah, the diaries of a CEO
On a need to know same time keep it low
I said no then said yes to the third quote
Denzel but I never wear the fur coat
