Verse 1:

Born leader I can take it there
Some ain’t prepared but always act like the hate is fair
Ever since a tender age I knew my fate was rare
If you’re at my table now believe I got a plate to share

‘Cause since I cut the scraps off I’ve been taking major care
Heading for the top way a mountain scrapes the air
And I can see my entire city from where I’m standing
I passed you on the way up and saw you prepare for landing

Half these fuckin rappers are sweeter than some granola bars
I came to tackle the game like Keano did Overmars
While they were playing Mario kart I was watching stolen cars
Rallied down the valley underneath the M50 overpass

Left plenty targets with some broken hearts
Folding their cards flushing jokers out I’m throwing darts
Shot caller who keeps it a hundred my blowers always charged
I just wanna politic with the real ones and toke cigars

The throne is ours fuck your political rhetoric
Emotional scars have been left on us bless the remembrance
The oppressors came here and labelled us terrorists
So fuck the British crown and all the racist confederates

They can drown in the blood of our ancestors endeavours
But I’ll never let it slip cause I’m an expressive impressionist
Used to think I needed a therapist
Maybe I did and just adapted through the developments

Hook:

Self reliance it’s an evil world no angels no guide
And all the signs say we’re running out of places to hide
Don’t a fuck what the ballot says
Ain’t got time to sit and listen to these mallet heads

The truth is stranger than fiction it ain’t new
To see all this evil that’s hidden in plain view; stay true
But there ain’t no breaking my stride
And good luck catching this wave I’m always changing the tide

Verse 2:

In this book of life we’re on a different page
‘Cause me and mine only live for what the spirit craves
Although the simple days are just a ripple in the waves
My son’s gonna be another stand up guy who misbehaves

Though I’m in between my most ambitious age and splitting greys
Those who try to dig my grave should watch them ricochets
Don’t get lost in a distant maze using your lizard brains
Picking ways in which it did and didn’t click

I’m watching figures raise and keeping it slick
Peep the fit I’m in a different league I’m easy to pick
When I give you game it stays with you the reason it’s sticks
Is because it’s from experience I’ve been in the mix

From the bottom to the top tier
Thought I peaked no need to stop here
I volunteer to domineer and be the opps fear
Drop tears if you hate that I’m having a hot year
Either way you haven’t got near so keep them shots clear, cheers
