La vie est belle

[Intro]
(Yo, Chris Kabs, the boy there, tek time)
Like I'm DHL
Ask me how I'm livin', say
Look

[Verse 1]
No squares in my circle (Nah)
If you're not committed, then you get nowhere in my work group
Firm in my virtues (Wow)
Listen to the rhythm that I give 'em, but they're learnin' my words too
Turnin' my worst route into eternal dispersal
I'm too determined to pursue
Have to internally curve through half the infirmity whirlpool that deters you
They soak in TV while they blow trees
I'm just hopin' they can see beyond thе smoke screens
Fundraisin' like charity, give family thе proceeds
I'm wavin', "Bye, Vanity", so I can meet the bros' needs
Wonderin' the answer, the mentality is mostly
Wanna build my family a gallery to go see
Man, I miss my grandma and I really wanna go see her
But I'm workin', so I have to trust the procedure
Eager, we are
She's the most senior creature
We have livin' on the Earth
Either meet her with the most freedom
Weak and meager, and get no sleep
Or we hurry now, make the whole team come
Either be there with the most we've done
Heat and breather with a cold tea
I'm, I'm, l'm, I'm
Sculpted from somethin' different
Funny 'cause everyone 'round me is stoned
Have me some fun, then I'm onto business
I do what I got to without bein' told
See, it's the rat race that l've suddenly been faced with
Lads my age out here swaddlin' their mates' kids
Jugglin' a day shift while squanderin' your wages
Don't wanna see that fate squabblin' for scrapings
Want my mom rockin' Ralph Lauren
Put the whole fam on, go all out for them (Yeah)
Had a girl called Em' and I wasn't gonna stop until 'M' know 'P' like the alphabet (Shame)
And my real close G's that I can't forget (Who?)
When your G's hold P's, that's the alpha flex (Facts)
I was in so deep when windows creek
Then my ten toes creep out the house again

[Pre-Chorus]
Who stayed grindin'?
They went on holiday, I stayed grindin'
Wasted another day, I stayed grindin'
They couldn't tolerate, I stayed grindin'
Who stayed grindin'?
I stayed grindin'
They went on holiday, I stayed grindin'
They couldn't tolerate, I stayed grindin'
Who stayed grindin'?
Tell them, who?

[Chorus]
How you gonna hate on someone like that?
Like regurgitate, I'm comin' right back
Have to tell them that I'm comin' like that
African spirit, man, omo naija
I deliver like I'm DHL
Ask me how I'm livin', say la vie est belle

[Verse 2]
Go make some money, boy
Don't be a dummy, boy
I know my mum, she wants to see her son enjoy
I told my donny, "I'm done bein' unemployed"
Us bein' noisy honestly is null and void
We would earn income and then Rico Suave
Learnin' songs on the flip phone always
Pairin' from all the parents ones had sharing on like the Sixth Hokage
But when did this all get so crowded?
More emphasis, don't trust nobody
Your friends could still suppress you largely
"Bruv, end with this and let's go party"
Wanna bring racks to my city
Hear my tracks from Blanch to Lasgidi
Jam's in a jiffy when the hands on the MIDI
So man's been out here dancin' like Diddy
And it has been our year, now I'm sittin' pretty
I don't rely on anyone really
'Cause I'm bad at forgettin' (Yeah), but I'm grand with forgivin' (Yeah)
But Chris had faith when Angela didn't
I'm not sure what year it is
But every Christmas Day, we laugh about it heard opinions
And you're hurdlin' it while the pastors shoutin', "Get your blessings"
And I get the message, I guess I'm allowin' words to wisdom, so when church was finished
I was walkin' past the reverend, quarter past eleven
Even though we thought of happy endings, mum was apprehensive
I was just another nappy-headed brudda that pretended
Or would've intended that he proper had his head installed in academics
I was writin' exams at the RDS
One day, I'ma fill it with an audience
They laughed at L's, now they applaud the wins
I laugh at the world, now feelin' fraudulent

[Bridge]
Ha, ha, ha
Laughed at me then
But how 'bout now?
Don't have to pretend
Allow that now
After revenge
Then I might smile
Ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha
Laughed at me then
But how 'bout now?
Don't have to pretend
Allow that now
After revenge
Then I might, eh

[Pre-Chorus]
Who stayed grindin'?
They went on holiday, I stayed grindin'
Wasted another day, I stayed grindin'
They couldn't tolerate, I stayed grindin'
Who stayed grindin'?
I stayed grindin'
They went on holiday, I stayed grindin'
They couldn't tolerate, I stayed grindin'
Who stayed grindin'?
Tell them, who?

[Chorus]
How you gonna hate on someone like that?
Like regurgitate, I'm comin' right back
Have to tell them that I'm comin' like that
African spirit, man, omo naija
I deliver like I'm DHL
Ask me how I'm livin', say la vie est belle
