Sometimes I wonder how did I get here
Against the odds, rubber slippers
Running up these wet stairs With a f**ing knife
Slipped a couple times
Almost nine, but i had a nurse to stitch the cut in time
Yeah: and time heals but the scar stays
Taking out the stitches, giving God praise
For showing the way, to my inner Sanctum
Forgiving, and for giving a sinner answers
To the questions that the righteous ask
Visions of the perfect future got me wishing I could rewrite the past
Shoulda stayed away from the street where them guys ran up on me With machetes
They didn't make a tech spray at least
But they cut me deep, blade halfway inside my left wrist
I shoulda never fallen in love
bu*terflies in my colon and all Poop ‘em out
Women having n***as whipped, I swear all of us flogged
Transfer to someone else like they balling in clubs
Bunch of players
Tell me guys, do you feel my pain?
She loves you ‘cos you perfect and she leaves you ‘cos u still the same
Chasing Mrs. Right and chasing a dream
Sometimes the same coin with opposite faces it seems
Dont forget us when you make it
Don't forget me if I don't make it
I deserve the bread so much you think my mama home baked it
This will perhaps burn bridges
But I heard that people who s** at rap turn critics
Uhn, chill my n***a just listen
But it's pointless, you hated before you heard
Boy it's annoying when I am debated among your peers
And you try to be different cos it's cool to be
Who is he?
Getting shine and he don't rock no j**elry
Try to know the dude at least
You good at what you do. What have you achieved
M.I, Modenine, two of the greats, I ain't no hater
But I'm hot on their heels like volcano craters
Hope they ain't mad at me for tryna take their spot
I been on my grind since before vagina became box
Watching the throne: a fan, protege, and now the competition
So it's an honour to be the one to take it from ‘em n***as
It's all love but I'm k**ing everything I'm on
Hopefully I'll make music they love enough to sing along
Baby steps, short reach of my legs
Headed to the Headies reciting my speech in my head
And then they announced a winner and for while I was fazed
But then Toolz booty came and put a smile on my face
Phone blowing up, twitter, text here, text there
Everybody saying don't you worry, get ‘em next year
sh**, I ain't gon lie, man I felt hope
Nominated finally, I thought I was in stealth mode
Hey brownie, do you think of me?
Every night I swear that I can still hear you sing to me. Crushed a n***a's spirit
And now I love you means nothing when I hear it Dreams of getting famous together
Woke up and felt such pain as I never imagined
That I could feel, Remember, nah
Conversation full of LOLs
Angel in my paradise, now devil in my hell, oh well
Still in my dream, a wedding bell rings
Giving me some hope like it ain't over till Adele sings
Why you afraid? I ain't into kiss and tell things
I knew that it was over the minute I heard Adele sing
The most gifted of my time but always left out
n***as feeling at home, it's time to move ‘em to the guest house
