Intro

[Verse]
Heading down this rocky road, feel like I'm on cobblestones
Wishing on a star, searching for a pot of gold
And everybody wants to know
When's Black gonna blow? Why's he still on the roads?
I'm like everybody else, I just want the dough
I ain't in it for the girls, I don't want the hoes
I'm just in it for the wealth, you can drop me home
I'm pissed off cause the flying squad got my bro
I'm fed up of this life but crime pays the bills
Mum told me to be patient but patience kills
Mum was struggling when I first started out in draws
She's comfy now so why am I still out here for?
It's like I'm trapped in thе cycle
Local beef's got me rolling strapped for my rivals
My lifе's hard, I'm in the deep-end with no lifeguard
Will I sink or swim? If you're asleep I'ma wake you up
Get off your arse, get your paper up
If you're on your face and you've hit rock bottom
Think about it fam, the only way is up
I'm tryna stay above, real life shit, I wouldn't make it up
I get a lot of love but it ain't enough
I need K Koke's views, Tinie Tempah's sales
I don't need no one's help, I just help myself
This is the road I choose
Now all I gotta do is show and prove
Listen to my lyrics if you wanna know the truth
I paid the costs, my recognition's overdue
Two years, I was in the cell on my own
Eating porridge oats, on the landing playing dominoes
I've been places you don't wanna go
And I'm still heading down this rocky road
I'm still searching for a way out
My bruddas still lurking in the jailhouse
They bout to let Shane out
And most of my niggas from the playground
Have all gone their separate ways now
Shit just ain't the same now, it's a whole different game now
The hood's on my back and I'm struggling with the weight now
I can only do so much on my own
Real talk, I've did so much for the zone
That's why they label me the champion of Islington
Certified music, watch the way I kill this ting
Haters wanna leave comments but I know they're listening
It's just their way of showing love, I ain't pissed with them
I'ma roll till the wheels fall off
Riding solo, most of my team got locked
Youngers in the flats weren't serious so I fell back
I was selling wraps, now I sell rap
