[Verse 1]
My neighbour just said "Congrats", give praise, give thanks
Sis said "Never forget where you came from", but I ain't going back
I love the ends but I hate them flats
We was stuck and it made us trap
Getting paid made them hate on man
But the plug showed me love so I paid him back
"Don't get bagged tryna chase that bag"
That's what bro used to say to man
We was broke as a joke now we laugh to the bank off a song that we made for bants
Ain't that mad? Sold dark 'cause I want the Range in black
Couldn't even pay for cabs
Now I'm up on a yacht doing up vacation snaps
Oh, what a feelin', I was rattled I was battling demons
Can't heal if you don't reveal it
Shit happens, I don't need no reason
Take a breath for a minute, just breathe in
If you're from where I am from and you came out alive
Then that's an achievement
[Chorus]
If I ever hurt you then it's 'cause I was hurt, forgive me
Yeah
And if you ever hurt me, let's put it in the past and make history
Yeah
[Verse 2]
The future's bright and I knew that
Grew up too fast as yute
There's things that I had to unlearn, I'm a new man
When you're raised on the block it'll do that
They tryna move mum out, gotta move packs
I'm from T and that's short for trauma
I got food, not boots in my boot bag
I was tryna be an awesome baller
Had the ball in my court, got caught up
Broke down 'cause of how I was brought up
Dreamin' of a Porsche and a Corsa
Just got stopped by the law enforcement
Makin' a big deal out of the small stuff
We ain't abroad but it's Bora Bora
Clouts been killin' my people
Love or money, what's more important?
Questions, questions, did I really need to stress
Or did I just need me a new prospective?
I ain't got enough fingers on both my hands to count all these blessings
Everybody goes through things and I'm no exception, this is acceptance
Yeah
[Chorus]
If I ever hurt you then it's 'cause I was hurt, forgive me
Yeah
And if you ever hurt me, let's put it in the past and make history
Yeah
[Verse 3]
Yeah, broke my girl's heart and the penny dropped
Didn't realise that the stress I caused was really a stress response
Even though I'm good with music, I ain't really good at expressin' stuff
And I just place way too much value on all that expensive stuff
Yeah, when all she wanted was love
Yo, my twin flame, I'm fumin'
Lookin' in my mirror like "Why do you do this?"
What's the point of actin' clueless
When you got a choice and you're the one choosin'?
Mum asked why we ain't moved in together
I told her, "There's room for improvement"
But nobody's perfect, me included, I'm finally human
My neighbour just said "Congrats", give praise, give thanks
Sis said never forget where you came from, but I ain't going back
I love the ends but I hate them flats
We was in a maze and it made us trap
God save the streets, Lord knows no one else can
Yeah
Lord knows no one else can
ACCEPTANCE was produced by Raf Riley.
Avelino released ACCEPTANCE on Fri Apr 14 2023.
It’s easy to finish your album with a banger. But with the time, effort and care that’s gone into this, and what I stand for and believe in as an artist, we just felt like this message reflects the work more. This is the second song I ever made sober. A significant factor to this album is that I bro...
