| I came home, I hit the trap in the same month |
| Them youngens gettin' nicked out of town, so they blamed us |
| Like, what example am I settin' for the kids? |
| I don't know, but ten ton is the pressure on the brick (Brick by brick) |
| I was young, kinda dumb, tryna sell it from the crib (Sell it) |
| And when the work never dried, I went and left it in the fridge (Aha) |
| I was servin' from the shop just like Kenan & Kel (Yeah, yeah) |
| The money made me happy like my name was Pharell (Happy) |
| I was sittin' down in class, I was missin' all my sales |
| Then 3 o'clock came and I got saved by the bell (I'm outside) |
| You can't pick and choose the sort of life you wanna live (No) |
| Before I sat down with Posty, I was signed to the strip |
| I had the streets goin' hard to the life that we live |
| Now they're askin' me for pics and to sign on their kicks |
| It's gone mad (Crazy) |
| Dirty bricks cheap and on tap (On top) |
| I would've brought you to the grind, you ain't on that (No, you ain't) |

| You're only kiddin' yourself (Kiddin') |
| Lookin' back, '18, I was a kid in a cell |
| They ask me what's wrong, I ain't feelin' myself |
| The only way I find peace nowadays is hittin' my sales |
| I asked 'em for advice, but I did it myself (I did) |
| Dex showed me how to mix, then I whipped it myself (Whip, whip) |
| I brought J to the kitchen and he did it as well (My brother) |
| Like the work's gotta sell, it can't sit on the shelf (It's gotta go) |
| 'Cause I got it on the arm and I'm runnin' up a tab (Yeah, yeah) |
| When the hustle went slow, I was lookin' for a blag |
| I couldn't ever chill, I was lookin' for cat (Where they at?) |
| I asked him does he smoke, then I put it in his hand, that's a tester |
| Ayo, Rocky, Stallone, Sylvester |
| I want wraiths, bill a phone in Leicester (I'm billin') |
| I'm in Manny, but l'm flyin' to Chester (I'm movin') |
| You can't throw all of your eggs up (No, you can't) |

| You gotta put your eggs in a basket |
| You gotta fill your gun with a cartridge (Yeah, yeah, yeah) |
| Cah my name's to clean to be takin' any checks |

| I'm ready to go like I'm waitin' on the steps (Ready) |
| Truth is you don't know who will make it in the end |
| And the money feels better when you make it with your friends |
| But you start gettin' more and they be hatin' in the end (Yeah, yeah, yeah) |
| And life's like a game, you gotta play it like it's chess |
| They say I'm too bait to be naked in the ends |
| I don't mean any harm, but they take it out of depth |
| I respect a man more when you say it with your chest (With your chest) |
| Product of environment (Yeah, yeah), need early retirement (Yeah, yeah) |
| I'm fed up of flyin' em, but I fit the requirements |
