[Intro: Louis Rei]

Yeah

Elz

Walk with me

[Verse: Louis Rei]

21 before I got it done

Before I found a new perspective, beg you watch it

I been in and out them projects with some dodgy cunts

Couldn't tell me 'bout a profit 'less it's of a sum

Around the time, me and cuz was on and off on one

Way before the chains, watches, we was cocky

But I'd lie about my age in hopes of showing it proper done

Now I'm tryna take it where we wasn't from

To be honest, a lotta hate where I'm coming from

When you're honest and they hate where you're coming from

And if you're famous, then they aiming for the juggler

But they don't know the pain, just a cover, just

This for my, case strugglers

Don't say governments

Looking at a bird if the jakes tried ruffle us

It used to hurt then it changed into nothingness

Ten toes firm, I ain't playing with the shufflers

What, you think I'm out here rapping for the fun of it?

I got people relying on me, shit been real

Had to glide with the iron on me in the vig still

Could really have been over from the clip still

Harsh reality, after the academy

I winded down the wrong road

Evaded being a casualty

Then playing like it's casual

In actual it's agony

Post-traumatic stress, yeah

I've been battling with sanity

Saying for some women, I can see beneath the vanity

Need to highlight all the feelings you be having

Now, how am I supposed to love another being if I'm mad at me?

And why I'm going all out of the way for you to tap the screws?

Don't make sense, does it?

I would believe you and your friends, does it

We're over-flexing and then the next

So my advice is focus on your next subject

Better yourself and then the rest, of it

You get it? Shit

In the last three years

I learnt more about myself than I could ask for here

Hold this Remy, gas is how I mask these tears

And also secrets if you knew them, heh, listen

I used to roll a bunch of n****s

But last I hear

Kinda separated paths

But it's calm, I'm here

I'm just learning like you are, my n****

Throughout the journey I just seen

I can't advance in fear, heh

Hit me hard but at last, we're here

I've been working from the bottom like the concierge

En garde game on fleek, on God I swear

Couple tin man tried it but their heart weren't there

I'm just tryna make it out before my stance impaired

When it's all said and done

And then my voice is clear

I'm gonna say I was a master here

Shoutout to Morgs and them

Real rappers still at large, and it's

Become a pen-game challenge

Caused insane damage

I used to stress about it 'til I let fate have it

Started WSTRN season then the rest came catting

Behind the scenes, but I'm still achieving all this madness

Wouldn't believe how the police tried to ban us

CID following me, around the manor

When I got the kids with me, the piggies need to back up

Don't see it on the news but we're used to the harassment

I'm just tryna be about my business and establish

Fuck the status, sometime I wonder if it even matters

Only, listening to Lauryn Hill's 'Ex Factor'

Spoke to Ake on the phone, he said ("I wrote ten chapters")

Keep at it, when you've touched road, don't go backwards

Don't take time for granted 'til you haven't got the access

Gotta keep it moving, things happen

Understand the universal law of yin-yang balance

Just imagine, seeing a n**** that you have beef with, imagine

You tryna level up and make peace, just imagine

You turn around, 'shoot people on the streets' shit

Not just him, his dad's on the scene, just imagine

Your mumma never raised you for no weak shit

Now you gotta double back for the remix

Imagine, imagine

Big man singing, now you're fighting for your freedom, imagine

New Lambo, we got the glow buzzing

And all them non-believers acting like they know suttin'

Talking 'bout our music's kinda grown on 'em

Centre of it all, I hear you know we sold London, just imagine

Overseas steezing with the mandem, get it cracking

It will work out if the whole team's active

West side riding like them Grove Street gangsters

See Js when you see me 'cuh I smoke trees, standard

It take the pain away, kinda feel that we pave the way

I ain't debating with no one, I'ma just say it straight

'Cause I'm a sensitive person so I be takin' pricks

See, when I came in this game, shh, I was like

I ain't feeling them people, I ain't feeling them

I don't believe in these people, I shouldn't speak to them

Don't identify as my equal, I don't need a friend

But then I seen all this evil, I had to look again

I ain't gon' lie and say, after I got signed

That I ain't never been a crook again

I gotta do this for the ones you got to [?]

Ain't no point in wasting this talent

Life's too short, I beg you take it and [?]

All this pain and this sadness

On my block, a couple doors down

A single mother with a small child

Took her life the other day and she was all smiles

They had a couple indiscrepancies, but sure

It weren't nuttin' big, more like

[?]

Now I'm at your door now

Now she's just getting buried in the floor now

My condolences to you and yours now

[Outro: Louis Rei]

I say that to say this

I stay thankful for this

From the plaques to the Brits

It don't seem real but it is

Alla' dat and the kids

Shoutout Am and to Ricks

Shoutout Jam and to Biz

Congrats to Kay and your kid

To my heart, and my rib

I'm a father for this

All my dargs in the mix

Keep it smart with the risks

Grab a seat and watch us take it to the top

Thanks for bearing with me 'cause I know I talk a lot
