| Picture me rollin', people actin' like I owe them |
| He backed his shank on the wing so I smoked him |
| I came home, I went looking for my old SIMs |
| Hypocrite, I went right back to the old Slim |
|
| Took a little break, now I'm back to the studio |
| Spittin' pure coke like my name is Julio |
| Business is business, it's not for you to know |
| But you've gotta make money in order for you to grow |
|
| There's some things in life that are better not to know |
| I've got my gun with me but it's better not to show |
| I've been jail twice and it was a stepping stone |
| You can ask the pussy who was selling me O's |
|
| And I know why that piss Little S overtook |
| Potential that I had probably got overlooked |
| Now go ask the bros who's the man in the hood |
| Who's coughing up smoke, teaching youngers how to cook |
|
| You-you can't tell me who's on |
| I know them type of guys probably still wear Louboutins |
| I'm the type of guy, I eat soup with some croutons |
| Back to the block I go and see what the goons' on |
|
| Back to my yard I go and chill with the missus |
| Easily content, just some hugs and some kisses |
| All you really need is a girl that's with it |
| That will tell you save your bread, not constantly spill it |
|
| If I take in everything that is said |
| I couldn't ever rest, I'll probably be back in a pen |
| If I spent all of my time just listening to friends |
| I'll probably go mad in my head, filling straps up again |
|
| I know they wanna trick my position |
| They say "You're doing well, Slim", but who are they kidding? |
| They want me accustomed to a mad way of living |
| When it all goes wrong, they say I'm too deep in it |
|
| If I spent all my time just sitting and dwelling |
| I'll be sat down sour, feeling like a lemon |
| A thousand nights in jail, I took it as a lesson |
| I've made my mistakes but it's not for regretting |
|
| I took him for his tings, then I told him, "Forget it" |
| Got hassle with the guys, it's just not worth his effort |
| I can play him at his game, go and send him a message |
| But where I'm from we retaliate with weapons |
|
| I need to sit and take time with the things that I'm doing |
| In hard times it's me that's getting me through it |
| I know what I'm on, they wanna make me prove it |
| I'm running up this bread, they wanna make me lose it |
|
| There's two things in life, either love or it's hate |
| We normalise crime 'cause we come from estates |
| I can tell the kids that the things gotta change |
| But how can I lie with these bricks in the base |
|
| If I take in everything that is said |
| I couldn't ever rest, I'll probably be back in a pen |
| If I spent all of my time just listening to friends |
| I'll probably go mad in my head, filling straps up again |
|
| I know they wanna trick my position |
| They say "You're doing well, Slim", but who are they kidding? |
| They want me accustomed to a mad way of living |
| When it all goes wrong, they say I'm too deep in it |
