[Verse 1: Chip]
Creep with me, let's take a walk through the north where
It's boom, bye bye for road talking (BANG!)
Most my boys got stabbed, means I've been stressing
How the f** did I survive? Made my mind my only weapon
Want pain? I can give you that
Look, I've got dead friends, I can't bring em back
Maybe God took them away cause I need angels
Have you ever seen a murder? It'll change you
Like maybe for the better, maybe for the worst
Might bust a gut, you might write a verse
Choose wisely, I could show you how the hood do
I done seen it bring a k**er out of good yout, it's all true
I don't know about you but listen, I've got dreams
To get my family out the hood, as hard as it might be
My parents wasn't born here so f** the BNP
My kids will only know the manor as a football team
I don't want them growing up like me, the city's cutthroat
Call the 2-7, I ain't nervous, look who bussed up
I'm too smooth for a postcode punch up
Plus we all from the same place, mum's crotch
Vultures, gorillas, snakes, I crept round them
Good kid, mad city, Kendrick wasn't out there
So there weren't a CD to help coping
There's two Os in emotion, come smoke em
[Hook: Maverick Sabre]
Ain't nobody love me better
But ain't nobody cause me pain like you
Ain't nobody love the things like I do
Oh oh oh oh
[Verse 2: Devlin]
Yeah, emotions run deep, deeper than chasms or canyons
Or the code of silence from Nostra Italians
Now around my neck, I feel these chains
No dazzling medallions, extravagance and arrogance
Take a hold of me, I think emotionally
I've grown to be detached, I roll without my phone on me
You can't reach me, I need a padded cell, f**
I can't help beating myself up
I show this world love, and it spits at me in return
Jealously and envy offended me, now they're friends of me
I think I lied to myself, cause I hate that
I'm deprived of my health, small divides that I felt
Started darkening my heart, it's too real
For anyone to market it and now I'm just a ba*tard with
Many bad thoughts, cries [?]
And then just whispers to a man's hall not to be the damsel
To ever listen to their lies
The only person that can hurt me now is I
The rebirth of the strong-willed, man that was long-k**ed
Walking through this paradox of life
Where nothing made sense, but now it's all in perspective
I'm reformed and collected and now the formula's hectic
I can't afford to be slipping like some cla**ic DMX sh**
I'm on some next tip
[Hook: Maverick Sabre]
[Bridge: George the Poet]
I have no regard for whatever man was before me
All I am is a story
And I'm the only writer, building my company though
So I'm not lonely either, listen
I'm sorry for going ghost this year
I just had to make sure the coast was clear
And now I'm speaking, the notion's clear
Cause the weakest emotion's fear
[Hook: Maverick Sabre]
