The song is about being resilient from being too proud and egotistic and not being dragged into a life of crime by their pain, and instead using that pain to fuel a successful future. The song also touches on God being a mighty force and having faith, but that faith being diminished by the world’s e...
[Verse 1: Knucks]
Aye, man are comin' like diamond
Crack a smile in pressure
They weren’t with me on the surface
But they wan’ bond with me now like Etta
Over and out, I put my clothes with her blouse and dresser
She wanna bone on the couch
Then all over the house like Skepta
In a durag like Jamie to hide my hair from Claire and Stacey
[Verse 2: Oscar #Worldpeace]
Rocking the baldie lately
A hairline or trim won’t ever make me
All the way off like Kanté
Hair started feeling like I’m eighty
This is God’s doing, not manmade
Got pride but your lies don’t phase me
I moved out my mums, I’m a homeowner
Nah, I’m lying, I’m renting
[Verse 3: Knucks]
Already know where the goal posts are
Don’t worry I’ll bend it
Kick, dip, splendid
Dunno why she got offended
Said she liked man from school-days
Coulda used a knife to cut the tension
[Verse 4: Oscar #Worldpeace]
When we fork, I hit appendix
You believe like I meant it
Hit from the front, no exit
Put it in like investments
[Verse 5: Knucks]
Her supplies have got me interested
Got my tings rising like the interest is
I could tell they're hiding man's blessing
'Cause a don's favoured highly and destined
[Chorus: Oscar #Worldpeace, Knucks]
Took the L and learnt lessons (Huh?)
God knows I needed blessings (Blessings, uh)
She knows I needed blessings (Huh?)
Stay on the job, no stressing (Stressing, uh)
Took the L and learnt lessons (Huh?)
God knows I needed blessings (Blessings, uh)
She knows I needed blessings (Huh?)
Stay on the job, no stressing (Stressing, uh)
Man, I took the L and learnt lessons (Lessons, huh?)
God knows I needed blessings (Blessings, uh)
She knows I needed blessings (Blessings, huh?)
Stay on the job, no stressing (Uh)
Took the L and learnt lessons (Lessons, huh?)
God knows I needed blessings (Uh)
She knows I needed blessings (Blessings)
Stay on the job, no stressing
[Verse 6: Oscar #Worldpeace]
Uh, yeah, back when I used to get a splinter
Needed love and shoes that winter
Sleeping next to the girl of my dreams
And I didn’t use no Tinder
Back when I used to be scared of the dark
They didn’t wanna see us enter
Knucks break down trees like Timber
Hate’s only gonna make us richer
[Verse 7: Knucks]
Man’s tryna get paid and shit
But feeling of late we ain’t conversated
I ain’t prayed in ages
Changing my status to "Complicated"
Feel like I’m trading places
In the back window making faces
They don’t wanna come off the block
Till they’re stuck in the box like David Blaine is
[Verse 8: Oscar #Worldpeace]
The same thing's draining
Bother me when your stating papers
But I’m too stubborn to be making changes
Hearts going through a thousand paces
But still it ain’t down and dated
[Verse 9: Knucks]
They know the sound’s outrageous
Play the tune, change their frowning faces
Got them like, "Flipping hell, that’s impressive"
[Chorus: Oscar #Worldpeace, Knucks]
Took the L and learnt lessons (Huh?)
God knows I needed blessings (Blessings, uh)
She knows I needed blessings (Huh?)
Stay on the job, no stressing (Stressing, uh)
Took the L and learnt lessons (Huh?)
God knows I needed blessings (Blessings, uh)
She knows I needed blessings (Huh?)
Stay on the job, no stressing (Stressing, uh)
Man, I took the L and learnt lessons (Lessons, huh?)
God knows I needed blessings (Blessings, uh)
She knows I needed blessings (Blessings, huh?)
Stay on the job, no stressing (Uh)
Took the L and learnt lessons (Lessons, huh?)
God knows I needed blessings (Uh)
She knows I needed blessings (Blessings)
Stay on the job, no stressing
[Outro: Knucks]
Uh, huh?
