[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Struck by the luck of draw
Born poor, hardcore on a government floor
In a place stone cold, daily looking for love
Age one, no funs, no cakes, no toys
But his mama said "Son, be whatever you want
Hover like a dove coming that be flying up above
Put your heart in the mix, believe you can achieve
Use speed, preach, reach, tell haters don't breathe"
So he set off quick, like the shorties in the script
Deep nights, no sleep, you could see him peep still
Some days it was hard, others days it was better
But it didn't really matter, he was out for his cheddar
Martin Luther said it best, shorty had himself a dream
Got the baddest team together, crushed the head of the adder
Now he rolls like a boss from gutter to kings cross
Told his bruv', "No gloss, do it raw and uncut"
Told you shorty is the man, now he rocks with a plan
Seven strong no doubt, and they rock like a clan
Can you do it? Yes you can! Be brave, take a stand
Raise your hand, claim the land, it's yours you understand
[Verse 2]
The world is a funny place, everybody in a race
For the papes, for the name, trying to get their head sane
For all my people in the struggle trying hard to be the chief
Trying to get Nan a crib and move to hills
See I've seen it all switch, like a light with a flick
No hitch, no glitch, from pauper to a king
From the gutter to a leader, seen it all like Stevie Wonder
So we set it off proper, be the alpha no omega
Hip hopping from the corner and we rock it till it's over
Breathing fire like a dragon now they give us the acclaim
Remember when they all said, now we rock it everyday
Now they read the epistle of the Kings in the castle
Wounds, scars, thorns, bristle, still we do for it the hustle
Hip hop is the tool, and life be the j**el
Truth the rule, keep it cool, and no we don't snooze
So you keep it moving on son, don't you ever stop
Spreading love to the peeps, wisdom peeks with the sk**
If you really got a will then God will make a way
So we hustle and we pray, then we do it all again
Pilgrim flowing on the mic, Versatyl what you say
Coming straight from the A and we headed your way
Best believe we the illest, and peeps we don't fake
Got a message from Jehovah and it went this way
He said please tell the people who be marching to the gates to just...
[Verse 3]
They say the emptiest barrel makes the loudest of noises
But we sort of poises, never spreading poison
Running to the goal, shooting barrels for the soul
Beyond jokes or the dough, 'cause we move it stone cold
Right in front of their eyes, it metamorphosized
A blessing in disguise, as the time rolled by
From a fiend to the cream, from a dream , all a wish
Then they made it all happen like a fable unseen
See they switched cos they reached for the top of the tree
As they climbed with the limbs that were still being dissed
Their mindset changed and their thoughts rearranged
an*lyzed all the game and away with the lame
So I guess its safe to say that the underdog gave
A blow to the brain and the giant lay slain
Run along with the game, the rhythm unchained
Like a mental plane for those with the brain
