| Most the ends behind the steel gates |
| Some man experiencing some real pain |
| See some old friends and wonder if we’re still mates |
| Couple bruddahs moving shaky since the deal came |
| 'Long as the fucking bills paid |
| Tried not to, but I still changed |
| Most the girls I met are solid with some good hearts |
| But the ones who done me wrong, I hope it still aches, yeah |
| You could bang me up for life |
| I’d be handling it right |
| Boy, I got Manny in my core (Core), yeah |
| All the cameras and the lights |
| Main attraction for the night, if I get anti they get bored (Bored), yeah |
| What’s the damage on the price |
| By now, there ain’t much we can’t actually afford ('Ford), yeah |
| But what’s cash without a life |
| Three months I ain’t even seen my family, I’m on tour (Tour) |
| Went from trapping on a bike to a lavish livin' life |
| Bro’s standing up in court (Court), yeah |
| Pack your bag, we got a flight |
| Tell mum and dad I love 'em |
| I’ll be back again for sure (Sure) |
| Pack your bag, we got a ride |
| Ain’t my brother, you can’t come if you won’t **** for me and more |
| You get a fraction of my life |
| But the rest, you don’t know nuttin' |

| Say a prayer before I hit the stage |
| Tell God to please forgive me if I misbehave |
| I ain’t perfect, but I’m learning, all this shit’s a game |
| I know people 'round me lurking, tryna build a name |
| Fuck 'em all, I hope they’re living straight |
| Still wonder how they’re coping since I been away |
| In the bits they put a hole in you for little change |
| At this point staying local’s just a big mistake |
| But how the fuck I’m supposed to leave? |
| When my brothers are in need, I still got cousins in the streets, yeah |
| Went from Nuthurst to the quays |
| Came running straight back, shit weren’t as comfy as it seems, yeah |
| All this money I don’t need |
| But ain’t made enough to quit, looks like I’m doubling the fees, yeah |
| Take me home, I just want peace |
| Losing focus, this ain’t me, I ain’t been sober for a week |
| Only happy when I’m close to home |
| Need no one but my family if they went I couldn’t hold my own |
| Mum and dad had twins, one of them with extra chromosomes |
| So I’ma stay by 'em till somebody turns me Holy Ghost |
| They love me when I’m home, but I’m never there |
| We like it here, but it’s better there |
