[Intro]
[Verse 1: Cadet]
Uh, 'aight let me explain
Me? I was the guy that everybody liked
I would go to school in my [?], fake Prada's
And a pair of Cortez Nikes
Natural Charmer, life would come with ease
I believe especially for me
Teacher predicted all B's and C's
Somehow I left with all D's and E's
But I made it to college, and somehow made it to uni
But that's when this sh** got reckless
You know awake in the raves, but asleep in lectures
And then my friends moved in to a house called music
I followed soon, and then I moved in
The only rent was consistency
And that I couldn't stay true with
And I've been kicked out and homeless ever since
Thought this, nah man
I would never think
But it ain't nuttin' but the odd person help me out
Who would give me a little food or a drink
Joey, he gave me the bars that I needed
Zach, he gave me the fire that I breathe
And Jamal, you gave me something to believe in
And really, that's the only sh** that I needed
So wait, wait, wait, wait
How the f** was I living like that?
Me? I'd never been homeless or in uni
It was a metaphor, but I been feelin' like that
See Jamal, was the guy that gave me that change
Warm up session, he [?] it like that
And the one thing I've learnt about this music in a couple weeks
Is anything you put in it, it will give it right back
Me? I never made an effort with the music
That's why a n***a feel stupid
I'd turn one way, and live would turn another
sh**, my sh**'s been rubix
I'm gonna go mad watching everybody's movements
Comparing how they do sh**
Cause now I'm a flop
And be that guy who's hard, but musically useless
Now I'm like, "f**" "sh**"
I can see why I ain't got nowhere
Cause yeah I been talkin' bout music
But my work rate shows that I've got no care
But sh**'s gonna change, mark my words
I can no longer say that life ain't fair
Get a beat by paying my [?] there
[?]
So yeah, you know what people say at the end of the year
Like this year is my year
Well today is my today
And tomorrow is my tomorrow
And I'm here for the good, let me make sh** clear
I ain't trying to be the only n***a from the ends that ain't bussin'
Motherf**er I see everybody bussin'
Krept, Konan, Bonkaz, Stormz, they bussin'
Everybody bussin' but me
Wallahi, I prayed for them
They deserve it, because they work hard at
I would wait for a bringing out
But then I realized the only n***a that could bring it out was I
It's cool see me, I'm a boss like a [?]
Tell them b**h [?] I don't need you
So wait I gotta pay you to show me love
But you upload a sh** MC with a buzz
Me, I been so hungry that I ate through the bone
Got a video out, I would wait by the phone
But no, n***a I'm gone
If I get a phone call, I gotta bring my plate to the throne
I'm Cadet
Yeah, and now I'm in my zone
Spit a couple lyrics, and now we're chilling out in shows
See I would wait for a [?]
But no see I've got to carry my weight on my own
See now they lookin' at me like a n***a buggin'
Like I ain't sick, and I ain't nothing
I say who I am and they chat to me like Rosie
"Are you gonna go get your cousin?"
No, it's my time and I'm gonna shine through
Wait for a cosign, nah I don't have time to
Thanks to my cuz, I won't think twice to
Don't know who I am then let me remind you
If I shoot you in your knees
Your knees are gone
This ain't Eastenders Denise won't come back
R1, R2, L1, L2, X, left, down, right, up to get your health back
Listen, to the [?]
And who? Who am I?
Cadet, Cadet
My n***as run up on [?] all night
