(Intro - Background Chatter) ....happened, then the other white guy. Then he starts tuning me , "Oh so its you guys? You guys....you...you took...you took my bottle. Do you know expensive that thing is ..(inaudible)...n***a! (Intro - Jnr Brown(Talking on Phone) ) Yo warrup its Breezy! Apa pamwe iNetwork or some sh**, hanti uchiri kumusha? Inzwa! By the time you get back the situation is gonna be different. There's a lot of new n***as around here. Don't pay them no mind, don't trust them.... (Intro - Tehn-Diamond (Talking) ) I got my shoes off as usual. I just realised i like to take my shoes off cause...you know... i like to feel small. I like to humble myself before the music i guess. Before the mic atleast (Verse 1 - Tehn-Diamond) People see me, and they all say these days, this year's yours Played “Happy” and thought ‘nah that boy's gone' Then “MaDrinks” came like ‘that's that song' And I was like “yuuuup, that's my dawg!” That's why now, what they feel's unfair That's why now we the meanest pair Like a brand new white Dunk-Hi right there Cos the stars have aligned, we the hype this year Realness on the mic, live we ignite Like night lights shining from the stars out here Could not have written it better, this is God out here Cos I remember looking in the mirror last year Like, this is it, this is our year I swear Like “The Year Before That” And “The Year Before That” And “The Year Before Rap” like ‘dude, what you gonna do ?' Caught a plane to college, wasn't really for you Skipping every cla** you eating noodles and soup Not that you dropping out, is it really a good move
Till I took a firm stand and I told that dude I never wanna hear your version of my truth I'm looking in this mirror cos I might need you And ten years from now, we gotta say that we made it Ten years from now, we gotta say that we great Came and never left Did it right to the d**h Put it all on the line, for a little bit of respect Never took no “no” when all we wanted was “now” When we just needed a beat and Five supplied crowns Back then it was mom and the boy Deekz who really believed me Wanted for more than anything heaven to find me So he never understood, why I never chimed in To step right up and sing these songs then Like I used to, outta the front of the clubs there Not singing for food, people and love then Till I'd get a call from mom and finally see clear I can't just sit the fence and feed fear I gotta let go of the light that I got here And shine so bright that I burn in my own glare Or at least get mama a home of her own here So every single night I'd just sit on my scared Till I found a way to right my wrongs with just pens Black ink, pieces of paper, like just this The only place I had for emotions to just fit The only little moments I knew I could just sit And not be anything other than me and my dreams Wishing to get up and lead, a million other like me . . . PLEASE Just like you, who only wanna believe And cling to the pieces of who they are in this beat And then thank me for teaching them how to see So despite all the ups and downs and cried tears I'm finally feeling free to say this was a dope year
