[Headie One:]
I really thought that I would die by the sword ’cause I was livin’ by it
I went to prison, didn’t finish off my Triple Science
Run up in the servery, they try put me on a prison diet (Turn)
I come home and try apply for a job, it was at River Island (Told me turn)
Imagine beggin’ for a minimum wage, I never tried again
Put cocaine in the kitchen appliance (Told me turn)
I was driven by a circle bus, yeah, still driven by it
My niggas got birded, had to sit in silence (Turn up)
My old ting always thought that I was with a side ting
We in the same city workin’ on a different timing (S-suh)
I was baggin’ up at Spike’s crib, so far from home
Come to the ends speakin’ in a different dialect (One)
And all the obstacles I sidestepped
Put an extra T with less scrape marks in the Pyrex (Suh, suh)
And all of this weight, it ain’t workin’ on my biceps or triceps
My nigga served ten years, got five left (Free up)
How can I owe these motherfuckers?
In my cell I was the only, the only motherfucker (Turn)
That lonely, that lonely motherfucker
So lonely (Turn)
No incomin’ calls, they couldn’t call me
I remember when that night guard was so lonely (Told me turn)
Now these VVS stones that’s all on me
All them cameras on their phone, they put it on me
I shine bright and it’s my fault, so blame it on me (One)
How can I owe these motherfuckers?
In my cell I was the only, the only motherfucker
That lonely, that lonely motherfucker (Turn up)
So lonely
No incomin’ calls, they couldn’t call me (Told me turn)
I remember when that night guard was so lonely (Told me turn)
Now these VVS stones that’s all on me (Told me turn)
All them cameras on their phone, they put it on me (Told me turn)
I shine bright and it’s my fault, so blame it on me (Turn, turn)
[Potter Payper:]
Most doubted, most hated, most grounded
Cocaine, heroin, I move mountains
For my blood, my family, I move mountains
If it’s up, then it’s up, there ain’t no other way around it
I keep asking God for time, but with the people I love
I know that’s impossible, but I keep beatin’ the odds
Nanny told me you get fleas if you lie with the dogs
So in my cell, I had to sleep in my socks, maybe two pairs
New Year’s after New Year’s
I only hurt myself, but I’m seein’ who cares, and it’s so lonely
I still gotta hug my pillow when I go sleep
I’m still grinding OTT like I’m OT
Money motivated in my Burberry suit
I give them all my love, but it just don’t recoup
He’s institutionalised and rich, at least he knows his truth
All gold, but the face in my Rollie’s blue
