This song is an homage to tlowe. Norfside and an anthem for those who are flowers that grew out of the concrete, the rough areas in London are unforgiving when it comes to making decisions that affect your entire life and the song is an appreciation of the place the created a strong man.
The King Of The Forest
They say it's the journey not the destination
But
If the journeys hell, shit
All we can dream about the destination
From the southside, where they tool up when they outside
I'm From the southside, where they tool up when they outside
From the southside, where they tool up when they outside
I'm From the southside, where they tool up when they outside
Get the weapon
That N*gga wasn't born as a felon
Product of his environment
In a hell, when he tryna go to heaven
Desensitised the Ni*ggas here ain't too sensitive
Wrong number in your postcode
They quick to put the thing in your rib
They don't know why, born here so that's all they know
Born in a box
Then they put in a box
Then they die in a box
That's how it goes
School told them, "stay in the lines"
To get your food wait in the line
That's why the mandem go to jail
And the white girls, they be doing lines
Woah
In a system
Designed to put the youth in a prison
And this ain't bout' no black or white
It's the poor against the rich men
He ain't got a dad
So he gotta shot food cos it feeds the fam
These households don't run themselves so he gotta step up and be the man
I'm a young black boy I ain't made it out
But I made it here and that's against the odds
Born and raised up in the south
But I do what I do with what I got
Fell in love with this music I ain't have shit I just do it
Now I'm out here doing shows
And representing for the blue bits
Yeah I'm representing for the blue bits
My aura glow is too powerful
So I walk around they don't do shit
Yeah I walk around they don't do shit
From the southside where the rain pours
Tryna make it so I ain't poor
They don't give it to a n*gga on a plate
So if the doors locked, we gotta break doors, right?
Soufside
From the southside, where they tool up when they outside
Soufside
I'm From the Soufside

Le roi de la foret
Ils disent que ce n’est pas la destination
C’est le voyage
Mais si le voyage est un cauchemar
On ne se rêve que la destination
