Gotta keep my head above water Gotta stay head-strong, keep rolling on No point getting caught in the hype is long Like I don't know right from wrong So I gotta be real Nothing to prove, I'm still Big in the hood, I feel So in control, I'm chill No one ain't knocking off Dill So I stay top on the bill I'm the main event, the headliner Went from jungle DJ to rhymer Never thought I would be the big timer But I still par it like, yo, it's a minor Cause I still rep my ends, still check my friends Can I keep it up? I guess it all depends If I can keep my mind right Don't get tempted by the limelight I think I'll be alright Temptation leads like your naughty mate The one that used to get you in bother The one you can never bring yourself to hate Can't avoid the temptation But I know I gotta change my ways And keep my nose clean, gotta fix up Take a look at my life cause I ain't sixteen And I ain't no boy, ain't no kid The world ain't flat and the picture's big Certain things that I gotta get rid And a whole lot more that I gotta get with So I gotta stay and roam on my own Gotta move on, I can't stay at home Cause I know what's there is all the same Crack, c**aine and ghetto fame Cold hard cash and a bit of a name And I've see it all, so I need a change Lost too many bredrens to the game And you could say temptation's to blame Temptation leads like your naughty mate The one that used to get you in bother The one you can never bring yourself to hate Temptation leads like your naughty mate The one that used to get you in bother The one you can never bring yourself to hate We used to be tight Me and my naughty friends Caused pure madness in the ends I mean day and night We robbed, we stole, we loved to fight Smoking, drinking, joyriding Drugs, thugs, not law-abiding Reckless youngsters, no direction No sign of correction But then I switched it up, changed my ways Got in the area like, "Oh my days" But not my naughty friends, they're not fazed Can't believe that this music pays See no reason why we can't do All the things that we've always done Still in my heart I know that's just wrong But it's hard to fight the temptation, son Temptation leads like your naughty mate The one that used to get you in bother The one you can never bring yourself to hate
