I don't know where to start So let me just be candid Except the hand me down I wore Nothing else was handed Mummy tried her best So I can't take That shit for granted The jealous seeing green Had her praying like a mantis I Grew up illegal So I turned to the illegal Pursuit of happiness I was living in the sequel Mums balance in the minus But I wanted to be equal With the Essex girls I grew with Never wanted to be feeble So I hit the strip York Road a bit in my town So I hit the bits Selling 'em the white and the brown I was young and naive I did a lot for the pound Was in a big f****ng pond Tryna swim and not drown Frown, down 5 bills getting gone ounces I finessed that pack And had the balls to just bounce I got it from the mud built That shit from the ground Now the biggest speakers Ain't making a sound Up now Came from poverty now I'm living quality Moved up town Lining robberies now I'm buying properties I done come up And now the suns up I've come a long way From seeing them rainy days Rainy days like Ja Rule and Mary J Rainy days like primary school and wet play Rainy days like mac 10's on jet spray Get out the way Get out the way You might catch a stray Put it in a safe & save For days you don't get paid Basmati canned beef The bowl getting scraped Dangerous the only way I stay See I came up in the church And hit the mosque And changed the way I pray 5 times that's my lifeline She said she grew up In the trap I told her likewise I don't listen to their raps Cos I don't like lies And We don't need to Tatt No tears by our right eyes You hear my soul cry Life a b***h I got her slow grinding Bro waiting on appeals I know his hope dying Heart on my sleeve don't think I'll ever take off I'm staring at the window And I can't stand the rain drops, Up Up now Came from poverty now I'm living quality Moved up town Lining robberies now I'm buying properties I done come up And now the suns up I've come a long way From seeing them rainy days
