[Intro]
So close your eyes for one second
And just listen to what I'm about to say
Cause a lot of people can relate to this
It's just whatever you want to relate to it
It's your choice
[Chorus]
Sometimes I just think to myself
Why am I here when all I think of is hell
It's all getting me down
But I try keep my spirits high like I was drink on the shelf
Sometimes I just think to myself
Why am I here when all I think of is hell
It's all getting me down
But I try keep my spirits high like I was drink on the shelf
[Verse]
You see when I was young I never thought like this
No my mind too weak like a fortnight is
See my friends from school, they're all riding
And they ain't getting caught and all tied in
I see myself doing all bad sh**
Who can't be a gangster, we've all tried it
But it's like I'm stuck at a dead end
And I can't get over the wall I've hit
Me - I've hit a brick wall
But I am I greedz? I don't wanna slip fall
No I dance and then I try a bit more
And use small keys and open big doors
What's the reason for letting the government beat us?
Either it runs in our family or we're just a bit bored
Or our papers tied like a clipboard
Stay on point and shat like a big sword
Get a few licks in try a big fraud
Or put the work in like me
And in a years time you'll be on a big tour
But one word of warning [what is it?]
When you make it big don't floss
Because it's a no ball game area
You will get your sh** took like a kids ball
[Chorus]
Sometimes I just think to myself
Why am I here when all I think of is hell
It's all getting me down
But I try keep my spirits high like I was drink on the shelf
Sometimes I just think to myself
Why am I here when all I think of is hell
It's all getting me down
But I try keep my spirits high like I was drink on the shelf
[Verse]
That ain't even the half of it
I'm from the ends but I don't know the half of it
So I choose to stay low like my carpet is
I don't wanna see red from my arteries
Peep same and shoot like archery
Think back a few years and the guys that you see
Going on hot nowadays, I bet you used to run
Round your school yard with them
Probably kicked ball and had arguments
Probably wagged letters and blazed hard with them
And that little nickname that he carries all the road
Bet one of his little school mates started it
All this sh** gets to my head
That's why more time I just rest in my bed
And keep my self out of harms way
In the studio where there's less to be said
[Chorus]
Sometimes I just think to myself
Why am I here when all I think of is hell
It's all getting me down
But I try keep my spirits high like I was drink on the shelf
Sometimes I just think to myself
Why am I here when all I think of is hell
It's all getting me down
But I try keep my spirits high like I was drink on the shelf
[Verse]
I'm waking up with headaches and chest pains
Mannys gone f**ed up since the murder of jess james
I count checkmates like chess games
The amount of guys who looking to put something in my chest plate
Feel them part with power as a powerhouse
Two summers ago who remembers them days
We used to get about on bike
Let on to each other everybody was dead safe
But eventually the area split and
Couple people ended up with dead mates
A bullets a sad way to leave us
But at least they up there with God
In the best place
I'm from Manny that Rep place
But we still soldier on for the next day
[x3]
But I'm going to stop there
Cause this track would only cause beef if I said names
