Abra’s bars and musical diversity are showcased here. The beat is on point, it has a dark vibe that complements the messages that Abra is putting out there: he deviates from glorifying the roads and instead highlights “foolish post code wars”, olders corrupting the youth and pitiful teen pregnancy.
[Intro: Abra Cadabra]

I smoke on the ounto, the ounto, the ounto
Relieve the stress, relieve the pain

[Verse 1: Abra Cadabra]
The roads so cold (Roads so cold)
I seen it all at a young age nigga I be selling that dope (I been selling that dope)
All these older niggas older than me I don't see them as old (I don't see them as old)
They never told me kick ball, jump in the booth they just want me on the roads (Why they want me on the roads?)
And you wonder why I'm robbing these olders for their motherfucking coke
This the life I was shown
This ain't a life that I chose, I know, I know (I know, I know)
Things gonn' work out for me

[Verse 2: Abra Cadabra]
See the landlord playing games he had my mama on the pavement (Had my mama on the pavement)
Had four racks for my mama and it still didn't save us (Didn't help nobody)
I put it on my life, all my life, on my life, that's all I had for my savings (That's all I had for my savings)
Big one nine on me, how the fuck am I still not bading (Still not bading)
It's only guns and knives I see
That's another face on ITV
I see Serco vans everywhere that I go
That's another yard nigga on IPP (Why-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay?)
This life we living is crazy (So crazy)
Young school girls having babies (Having babies)
She's only fifteen, sixteen, but she feels like a lady
[Pre-Chorus 1: Abra Cadabra]
Would you still love me if I was a snitch?
Would you still love me if I was a prick? (Would you still love me?)
Would you still love me if the haters on the road side told you ABZ be a bitch? (Would you still love me?)
Would you still love me if I was a snitch? (Oh no-no-nooo-no)
Would you still love me if I was a prick? (Would you still love me?)
Would you still love me if the haters on the road side told you ABZ be a bitch? (I know, I know)
Cause I know
[Chorus: Abra Cadabra]
I know, I know, I know (I know)
They don't wanna see me grind (Me shine)
They don't wanna see me shine (No way)
But it's all time yeah (It's all time yeah)
The roads, the roads, the roads (The roads)
It's only wasting my life (It's only wasting my)
It's only taking my shine (It's only taking my)
But it's all time yeah

Young nigga just stay on your grind (Just stay on your grind)
Young nigga don't force the shine (Don't force the shine)

For my bruddas that grind on these streets

Man I can't put my mind at ease ca' bare niggas think they're bad with the 'Rettas on these streets
So we tell my mama now I gotta' roll with my wetter for these neeks
I'm not tryna' get pricked by no geek (Never)
I focused on this money couldn't give a damn if a brudda screams say it on me
I'm cray out in the fields gettin' money
Why you niggas chilling out, smoking weed, moving bummy?
Bare bums, man are clown, what's funny?

Anyone can tell me 'bout life on the roads cuz
But no one can tell me the benefits the road's got (Oh no, oh no)
I don't know why we living how we're living (How we're living, how we're living)
Big Rambizzy pon my waist still sinning (Still sinning)
