focus Lyrics
[Intro]
Kenny, you're mad for this-
[Chorus]
Focus on some other shit (Other shit)
Focused, I ain't puzzled yet (Yeah)
I tried to make it out the rubble (Uh) and I rose like a diamond did (Diamond did)
Run a fifth, do a flip, ru-run a fifth, do a flip
[Verse 1]
Slow dance with the devil, no chance so I settle
No second chance, I just gotta be better
Lesser version of myself, shoe fits Cinderella
Pure amusement and I'm fed up, why you so jealous?
Life never precious and I always had a death wish (Ayy)
And I never had a breath of fresh air, I need a breath mint (Brr)
Never been the type to care what they on
Sit and do a séance, wish I take my face off
Said I'd be nothing (Nothing), you must be Helen Keller (Haha)
Under the weather (Right), can't predict my future (Can't predict)
Off the Richter and he crazy like Victor
Mr. I Don't Give a Shit, seems like I always did
No one I can lean on so I'm limping with a walking stick
People keep talking shit, I cut through the thick of it
Brothers on that prison shit, I should've been in prison (Yeah)
But I'm different, never listened to the shit that they be on (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
Focus on some other shit (Other shit)
Focused, I ain't puzzled yet (No way)
I tried to make it out the rubble and I rose like a diamond did (Shining)
Run a fifth, do a flip, throw a fit
[Verse 2]
I box you in your chin, break your chin again
End up missin', man
This a mission, fam', couldn't get me in a can
Live me life, call me out, let me live my life
Tryna get the price right, I'm tryna make the price rise
Tell me what you want, I want a spliff and a bop
A bottle I can pop so I chill on the block (Sheesh)
I miss my brothers, I miss my fam' as well
Everybody else can go and fuck their self (Fuck yourself)
[Chorus]
Focus on some other shit (Other shit)
Focused, I ain't puzzled yet (No way)
I tried to make it out the rubble and I rose like a diamond did (Clear as fuck)
Run a fifth, do a flip, run a fifth, do a fli-flip
[Outro]
I need a shave, yeah
I think I'll shave my head
I need a shave, yeah

What did slowthai say about "focus"?
From the beginning, even though I’m in this pocket of people and this way of life, I’ve always known to go against that grain. I didn’t ever want to end up in jail. You either get a trade or you end doing shit and potentially you end in jail. A lot of people around me, they’re still in that cycle. A...
