[Intro]
Don't you know?
Bashy
[Verse 1]
You can be Black, Asian, White, what?
Man try a ting you're getting more than a bop
If you ever try and get next to my dosh
Or if you ever try and get next to my Porsche, your head's coming off
You little witch, stop being long are you linking or not?
Are you gonna abort the baby or what?
And do you want a piece of my bredrin or what?
It's a lot, it's a lot until you get shot
Or you're getting birded in the dock
Or they bagged you with rocks in your sock
And when you come out, you can't get a job
See these little boys don't understand fully
They just care about babes and hoodies
They're on a hype, until they end up like Trife at the end of Kidulthood
[Chorus]
Gotta go from Kidulthood to Adulthood (I know)
Now I must, act like an adult would
React like an adult should (I know)
I gotta break the cycle, 'cause if I go pen
I'll end up dead, then it's my fault
Gotta go from Kidulthood to Adulthood (I know)
Now I must, act like an adult would
React like an adult should (I know)
I gotta break the cycle, 'cause if I go pen
I'll end up dead, then it's my fault (I know)
[Verse 2]
And I move like think you're rough, later, crack!
Now everyone's after me like Sam
Do anything for the P's like Plan
Five-O come everybody better scram
I love raving when it gets ram
But let somebody think he's a badman
What, I'll boy him off in front of the gyal
Let man know who's wicked and bad
But that breh might wanna come back
Might wanna kick it off on the next day
'Cause he's got revenge in his heart like Jay
So when he sees me he's gonna get moody
And try do me, really we should be more like Moony
And go uni
React just like an adult should, break the cycle like Sam from Adulthood
[Chorus]
Gotta go from Kidulthood to Adulthood (I know)
Now I must, act like an adult would
React like an adult should (I know)
I gotta break the cycle, 'cause if I go pen
I'll end up dead, then it's my fault
Gotta go from Kidulthood to Adulthood (I know)
Now I must, act like an adult would
React like an adult should (I know)
I gotta break the cycle, 'cause if I go pen
I'll end up dead, then it's my fault (I know)
[Verse 3]
And I move like pirate raves, mixtape, album
Done with the clashing I've seen the outcome
'Nuff badman on road, been around them
'Nuff MCs in the scene, I can out them
But I'll 'low them, 'cause it's not about them
The roads are nuts like almonds
I'm a musician, and I use my position, to influence thousands
Look, I said I'm not on a hype cuz
I'm far from a Kidult now I'm much wiser
Blud I'm older I've grown up
So now I've gotta act like a grown-up
I used to be wild, I was acting raggo
On the defensive, acting parrow
But now I'm on the straight and narrow
Cuzzy I've gone from a kid to an adult
[Chorus]
Gotta go from Kidulthood to Adulthood (I know)
Now I must, act like an adult would
React like an adult should (I know)
I gotta break the cycle, 'cause if I go pen
I'll end up dead, then it's my fault (Oi, Clarke!)
Gotta go from Kidulthood to Adulthood (Yo!) (I know)
Now I must, act like an adult would (Right about now)
React like an adult should (I know)
I gotta break the cycle, 'cause if I go pen
I'll end up dead, then it's my fault (Don't you know!) (I know)
[Outro]
Oi Maniac
You're a brainiac
It's Bashy, rags to riches
Go get it, when the album lands, Catch Me If You Can
