[Verse 1] I never saw none of this coming Let me press rewind and go back three years I was on my arse, never had nothing Sitting in the whip with paper, saying to myself If I don't get paid, I'mma grab something Or rap something, it don't matter, gotta have something If I don't see money by the end of the week I'm getting a number and I'm pressing on that bu*ton Call's gotta get made Not a shotta but the food's gotta get weighed I don't wanna serve [?] gourmet But luckily for me it never went that way I ain't gonna lie, I felt stressed that day I had a lot of sh** sitting on my chest that day If I never went road with [?] that night Definitely could've went deaf that day Started off back then with a few evenings Never came too tough, then it got frequent Didn't think I was gonna go nowhere I weren't the best back then but I was decent Back then, every other night was a late shift But I weren't spitting, I was battling my demons Hating myself like I weren't going nowhere Spent too many years underachieving Till I said f** that, I don't wanna be this Life haffi get lift, that's the remix I ain't the type for waiting on hand-outs Even in a time when I felt defeated I'm from the era of Déja and Myth With D Double, Esco, Wiley and Demon Basically, what I'm tryna say is that I come up in a time Where I couldn't ever show man a weakness Check the thesis [Hook] And back then I had serious issues And now they're looking at me like I'm a serious issue Well, I must be a serious issue My G told me he saw my face in i-D And now it's looking like a serious issue And I ain't saying if I don't follow anything through Then we're gonna have a serious issue But I can't lose, I'm from the cla** of 2014 [Verse 2] Wait And I ain't gotta explain none of my reasons Dem man should've heard when I was speaking Got a new ting called pepper on steak But I'm still going on raw like it's not seasoned Foot's inside door now, I'm not leaving Yes, Jammz is sick, but I'm not heaving You can't compare man, we are not equal or even Don't care what you believe in Better tell donny wake up, stop sleeping How can a man try and slander my name When it's live and yours sounds like it's not breathing? If you wanna hate, then it's gonna be a rasclart madting When your machine starts beeping Carried on when I got told "stop dreaming" And now it is underdog season, I went from City to city, from town to town But I'm a local lad, I was raised in the manor Back in the day, we played Kane in the manor Ten years later, I'm travelling all over England Supporting Made in the Manor But your CD don't get played in the manor If you fast forward another ten years Then I'll be known as one of them greats in the manor So chill out, you think you're big out But them tunes that I heard don't sound trill out And if I drop a banger in any one of the seasons You ain't seeing summer, autumn or spring out Let alone winter, Jammz, I'm a ninja I'll do it on the sly and then take your whole wing out So if you call me and I let the phone ring out It's not cause I'm airing, I'm too busy tryna be a rasclart king out [Hook] And back then I had serious issues And now they're looking at me like I'm a serious issue Well, I must be a serious issue My G told me he saw my face in i-D And now it's looking like a serious issue And I ain't saying if I don't follow anything through Then we're gonna have a serious issue But I can't lose, I'm from the cla** of 2014 [Outro] Trust me, fam Cla** of 2014 Big up all of my 2014 late shift warriors, yeah?
