[Hook]
What goes around comes around, that's just the shape of the world
Started off with less than nothing but we're making it work
I'm blessed
I'm just doing my best
[Verse 1]
Yo, I do this for the scruffy yout' on the bus with the shit trainers
Watching all the other kids, wishing he could switch places
Hoping shit changes one day, no way to get money
Sick of arguments in his house and going to bed hungry
I'm one of you
Used to take the long way home from school
Just because I had nothing to hurry to, too
Unstable with a couple loose screws
Never was a goody-two-shoes
It's 2001, the day of 9/11
I was at my mum's funeral, my brother's nine and I'm eleven
When I got home I saw that everyone around the world was in shock
I didn't know what the twin towers were
I was offended that I was expected to be interested
Or affected, that day I realised everything's subjective
It made me question if I'm selfish, it's probably true
No one cares about your problems but you
Had to start upper school a couple of months later
Lived with my dad, we had no money and nothing
Every night I close my eyes to go to sleep, I end up back there
I Google dreams about losing teeth and they told me I'm scared
I don't know what of, I've faced everything
I'm not just some dumb rapper desperate to stay relevant
I don't care about your perception or what you think of me
These kids are dying to look real, literally
This isn't one of them patronising tracks implying
I'm inspiring anyone by rapping, I ain't acting high and mighty
I just think that it's a disservice to any fan of mine
For me to act like I got it easy and didn't have to try
[Hook]
What goes around comes around, that's just the shape of the world
Started off with less than nothing but we're making it work
I'm blessed
I'm just doing my best
