Shifty - I Think lyrics

[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
