A.L. - Ghetto No More lyrics

[Verse 1: Ghetts] Honestly, I was on a robbing spree Ended up in solitary, came out, started thinking logically My dog said the jailhouse softened me (possibly) I was the raw type, so poor I Never had a score 5, what else but pure crime? Kicked out of school and still awake before 9 This was before grime, I couldn't spit then I used to try but I was sh** then I used to listen to them jungle tings, D&B rumble came I was a target just cause I had a humble face But I never grumbled, eh, I had my bora Stick it in a body like it's Flora Then disappear like Wizadora Who would've thought that I'd become a performer? (which one of you thought that?) I left victims in trauma I was the boy on the front line, never see me in the corner [Hook: A.L.] Some people tell me I change every day I never sacrificed this much to remain the same You can take the boy out the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto out the boy Ghetto no more, no more, ghetto no more, no more [Verse 2: Ghetts] I'm taking it back to Stratford McDonalds Twenty bruddas outside - nines, bats and bottles Scars on my chin, scars on my shins From being handcuffed, lying flat on the cobble Usual suspects, crew full of ruffnecks Who would've knew I was destined for musical success? You ever visualised something as beautiful as sunset? Now ghetto no more's the only suitable subject I'm just a brudda tryna change the game You, you're just another brudda that the game has changed Day to day, so many people ask me why I've changed my name They claim it's for the mainstream, however it may seem Let me set the record straight - every step I take They reminded me I'm ghetto but the people in the ghetto say Ghetto ain't ghetto no more so I'm stuck between A rock and a hard place, even I've had enough of me [Hook] [Verse 3: Ghetts] And now it seems like everybody's losing respect (why's that?) Cuh I'm using my head (what they saying?) They're saying G.H., he's changed, he's losing his edge Them boy first salute me instead Fame isn't great, my face is bait and I ain't gonna make Them same mistakes that I made in the past but because of music I won't make em again I'm making a change, playing it safe, I won't be contained in a cage - I'm free And it's staying that way, I went from wigging up apes to Playing em rapes, last week I was on the plane to LA (first cla** rudeboy) Who? They wanna ask what's happening, I say "nothing much, I'm travelling" Through air like a javelin, all because I'm talented Ain't seen the whole world but my home's a hotel The Hilton, the Malmaison, the Ritz and Radisson All this without any management, it baffles them And now it's time to reap the benefits And overdose on extravagance [Hook x2]
