6 years, 6 years, 6 years , 6 years 6 years, 6 years, 6 years , 6 years 6 years, 6 years, 6 years , 6 years 6 years, 6 years, 6 years , 6 years I cant believe he gave me 6 years, I cant believe he gave me 6 years I cant believe he gave me 6 years, I cant believe he gave me 6 years I cant believe he gave me 6 years, I cant believe he gave me 6 years I cant believe he gave me 6 My journey starts in this holding cell, underneath the court Saying goodbye to the whole world, I got told I’d only get 4 But I got 6, how the fuck have I let my life come down to this I'm not looking around cos I wont be around for abit I got my head down but it’s spinning around so quick Facing the consequences of the shit that I did no one forced it upon me, I did it all on my own Now that’s kinda ironic cos I’ve never felt more alone Depart my body from my soul; let my soul make its own way home Cos where this bodies about to go end the line end of the road ‘end of the road’ x 3 And I'm so scared yeah I admit it I’m so scared That as soon as I get there, I won’t care I’ve been there before but never this long I can’t ever see me getting parole they’ll never see back on the road 3 to 5 before I apply all based upon how I act inside But it can’t be helped to be bad inside When you’re locked down with the baddest guys Wit suttin to prove and nothing to lose So to the follow the rules, wont keep them amused The months I’ve spent on remand has all be wasted wasted wasted I beat up a guard to stab up a rapist, didn’t think it would impact my cases I couldn’t believe it when the judge raised it, said that I’m crazy said that I'm dangerous Said I’m menace and not gonna change quick….. and no I don’t blame him All the shit that I did on remand it done me no favours said that he’d give me a chance but he knows that I’d waste it said a good few years behind bars might help me change shit and well if I can’t … fuck it I'm staying in I wrote letters to everyone and told them not to write back It wouldn’t benefit anyone to hear my mind collapse My actions got me put here and that is that But a part of my heart thought I’d hear from my mum and my dad The hardest letter I wrote was to my girl, I told her I gotta do this time all by myself 3 months went by and now she loves someone else, she picked up the phone and told me herself, I sit in this cell wondering about what the future holds Will I be nothing or will I make something in studios Wear my own clothes, choose where I go, I don’t know What will I become, or will I be coming home, at all? When this is done will I be young or going bald Will I have kids, flesh and my blood, see them go to school I suppose its on me, I’ve gotta do what I’m over due I don’t blame anyone its on me its my own fault

I'm here and I cant escape I got caught went court now I count my days Feel this corpse filling up with rage, dead inside to the pain that drips down my face It wont go away away…watch me float away, hopefully there is no hope for me, I don’t have nobody somebody show me the way…. Don’t close all the these doors on me show me what love is I swear I can do it I promise I’ll try it I beg you don’t this, I already done it I'm just a confused a kid I don’t find this funny I do find this funny you puppets on bungees your systems corrupted and you think you fucked me, but I just got lucky I'm here with the scum of the country, And I’m coming hunting. I'm not gonna do nothing I'm not even hungry I don’t want a tele I don’t want your lunches I don’t want a phone call I don’t want your mattress your clothes or your blankets no burn or no matches no visit no showers no minutes no hours My chemical balance is knackered; I'm travelling backwards, I’m back to cause trouble, I'm back to make damage, and find all them bullies that pick on them cowards i’ll break all your tele’s to stab them in the showers, I’m not using no manors your rules get abandoned this jungle is mine I don’t care for your cameras, your cuffs or your batons your block or your sanctions your locks or your tactics mean nothingggggg Please make this stop cos I’ve tried and it doesn’t, the voice in my mind that my head has discovered, this joker this character this complete nutter, I'm fucked cos we look like each other, we breath and we eat and we sleep like each other We needed each other to speak to each other. Like brothers that beat up each other to make us get tougher and believe in each other buts I am the one its always me that suffers. Don’t make this stop, I beg you don’t do this, don’t give us pills it will make us both stupid, everything we have, this bond we will lose it and never get back this life that we’ve ruined, I’m gonna get mad fam I’ll stab all these doctors just let me the fuck out this lab with these monsters, we don’t need your tablets we don’t need a conscience so fuck off we don’t want your options Well Mr. Herbert, jokez & Daniel, its quite clear that your chemical balance is unnatural You’re like an animal creating more harm then a cannon ball Trapped within walls of infinity that won’t allow your mind to travel Slowly losing a hold of reality and the characteristics that make us humans and not just mammals Fighting an unwinnable battle with yourself a vessel lost with no paddles A door with no handles a gun with no barrel, do you get where I'm going with this son…. Right now there’s no life about you, you might as well be dead with your best friend Darrell… So they hit me wit largactil and said I’d change They we’re dam straight fuck I couldn’t feel my face Couldn’t eat for days felt sick as it filled my veins Couldn’t piss straight couldn’t stop feeling strange Couldn’t sleep to kill my days, felt weak as I felt weeks drift away Stuck In these liquid chains until these fucks consider me sane Sane? I cant even say my name without dribbling and making mistakes I keep vomiting but gaining in weight, when I'm walking I'm wobbling I'm out my face Locked down where they locked the krays I got a shock in this crazy place I know I’m not the same I know I’ve got to change I need to stop this phase I'm robber not a killer just dealer I’m shotter I’m leader with a collar on And now I need to break free I know I'm not the same me, and now they say the same too Got me medicated out my mind now they wanna set me free as a sane dude Met up with the parole board, they sent me straight to my shrink Met up with the doctor took his prescription and put that script straight in the bin But don’t say anything cos they might say I'm crazy, get me sectioned again Understand the message cos the message is clear, I had to save myself or I wouldn’t be here

BABY STEPS 03:59
BABY STEPS…. Back at the desk with my back pack on my back Lyric pad in my black bag wit a plan Not to give a dam for the cash But the life that I never had get it back Try to be a better man, if I can If I cant then I'm fucked I’ll be back In the back of the van wit my arm at the back And my legs in the straps that’s a fact If I crack any pacts on the contract in my hand They will say I'm mad….. They will say I’m ill if I don’t take 2 pills wit every meal That will make me feel like a in a film, Where I rise with the dead then I get killed No cure, bullet to the head just to get healed. They will say I’ve lost it if I don’t talk with the doctor 2 time in a week locked up Back in a cell real quick cos I'm sick That should mean an ambulance not the back of a cop car for real…. I’m running thru the 6 with myself, and jokez A relapse wit my mental health is close Like an overdose but with an under dose Where you survive and they pump drugs out your throat And you choke to life instead of choke to death But you still hold your breath cos its not over yet low self esteem with no self respect out in the world to face what the world projects by yourself on your own taking baby steps across the board in this game of chess Im just a pawn with no king to check So I jump on a horse take a step and left Or right Get it, so I left alright, I remember the last time I was read my rights I was at the desk looked the fed dead in his eyes And said you should have shot me dead on site Ya get me right I'm confused that I'm leaving not sure I believe it Said goodbye to my freedom, so its hard to foresee it When the screws at the desk wished me the best But said they’ve made bets on how quick I breach it…….. I’m confused that I’m breathing not sure if I’m dreaming Did I rise up from sleeping? Or am I still deep in Cos I can’t feel my legs, my whole body feels numb And my mind cannot stop what its conjuring up Sitting in a bus stop waiting for the next bus Black bag and my ruck sack with a vest on A beautiful lady walked right up to me and She’s like hey there handsome when is the next one I try think of some compliments but I realize I’ve lost all my confidence I stared at her she stared back And here is all I responded with The problem is I'm sedated I don’t really know what to say and I hate it But babe its not you I swear down I promise I'm just being honest and she walked away quick An fuck no nah I don’t blame the chick I woulda probably done the same as this In her shoes it must have seemed a little dangerous I stayed true but she didn’t view the change with in. When I wake up will my day be done? Never straightforward it’s a wavy one I’ve got options now its time to weigh them up I had time now its time just to make it up Ive been down so low I’ve got stay above Me, myself & jokez, put my faith in us I’ve tried so hard, I’ve never gave it up I Gotta drop them bars then raise it up I gotta stay in charge and I don’t mean in cuffs Gotta break these chains that are holding us Gonna make a change, I'm gonna write for days I’ll put the pen to the page and give my life away I'm gonna tell em of the person that they Tried to break And let the sun shine bright over my parade And come back with a bang like a live grenade When they told me that I'm unfit to work I looked at my life, couple times, and I feared the worst I looked up like I didn’t even hear the words And said fuck what you think I'm gonna make it work I'm gonna serve my purpose, gonna make it worth it Cos I'm so determined that I’ll reach the surface And I’ll breath and I’ll be the person That I'm supposed to be before I leave this earth In a burning furnace and I'm nervous Cos it might not be so certain, but I've learned from mistakes now I see the journey And I'm thirsty but everything I see is blurry These pills got me weak and I aint feeling sturdy But I'm on my feet ready for frozen turkey By myself in a room until these pills desert me So I can get back the little boy that they killed at 13

MR INVISIBLE 04:09
They look at me like I’m invisible, And don’t want them to see him, I want them to see me… They look at me like I’m invisible, I don’t want to be him, I just want to be me… The door just closed, I'm back on the street back on the road No longer a number, no longer a code no longer security to call my home My ticket to bricky the life that I know got ripped into pieces right back at the door me & myself & jokez & my clothes a ticket for Scotland a place I don’t know The land of the free but I felt so alone everyday is a challenge to manage cold I don’t even know how to manage a phone except to check my balance is gone Didn’t have friends, just the voice in my head, I didn’t have funds, put the beans on the bread I didn’t have nothing to toast it instead so I’d eat it and picture a roast in my head. Days go by without the pills I’m getting withdrawals it’s making me ill the shakes, the sweats the freezing cold chills are making it difficult to see what is real I pray for a miracle, with minutes I kill Mr. invisible in this cynical world Getting closer to physically killing myself, I know I need that medicinal help. The symptom’s are mad as I'm travelling back the relapse I’m having is making me blank a doctors appointment that I never had I just stand at the desk and I cry like I’m mad I cry like a man… Cos I know from the moment I’ve shaken his hand… They look at me like I’m invisible, And I don’t want them to see him, I want them to see me… They look at me like I’m invisible, I don’t want to be him, I just want to be me… I went to the dole and I swallowed my pride, I’ve been looking for work but they say that I’ve lied couldn’t think of a place I hadn’t applied I could swear on my life I swear that I tried to work in a shop or to work on the side but the CV only consisted of crime so when they look at me they see me inside Mr. invisible, a criminal mind. The search for employment has all been pointless they look in my book they look disappointed they sanction my money and made an appointment tell me to come back next week and he pointed right to door with escape right above it, maybe that’s fate or maybe its nothing or maybe relates to whatever’s coming. Or going depends on the way that’s its running no food , no credit , no gas or electric a freezing cold house just cos I'm dyslexic my writings pathetic unless its poetic so all of the forms I fill get rejected no money to pay for this flat that I’ve rented, I couldn’t look back as they reposed it, don’t know where my journey is destined, Mr. invisible stuck at a dead end, Hungry and homeless I lost all my focus walked with my bag on my shoulders Hit me for 6 now its over, I sit and I speak to Daniel and joker and weigh up the options back to crime, back to psychosis, suicide another door that’s been opened Cos if I went back to prison or died at this moment I don’t think anyone would notice They look at me like I’m invisible, And don’t want them to see him, I want them to see me… They look at me like I’m invisible, I don’t want to be him, I just want to be me… I’d found a car smashed the window I reached inside to steal the rope, Now I’ve found quiet spot I'm alone tied it up to a tree then round my throat I said good bye to the world I know I said good by the world I don’t I jumped from the branch and it broke, I was born again jokez They look at me like I’m invisible, And don’t want them to see him, I want them to see me… They look at me like I’m invisible, I don’t want to be him, I just want to be me…

This is the story of a kid named Danny A cute little boy with a life he had planning A happy little dude that was bang into rapping Now your gonna walk in his shoes to what happened 13 years old he snuck out the house and went to the high street Trying to by weed But he bumped into a chick that said fuck weed come have a drink, I’ve got I.D She was 18 and should have known better year 2000 middle of December The 15th a night that would haunt her forever they went to shop, she bought him some Stella They drunk it together then met tony with Lorraine and Gemma the last people little Dan will ever truly remember, they’ll never really understand what they messed up This kid had options but after tonight that’s gonna be problem This kid could have been anything he wanted to be but they all stopped him Coulda been football star with 5 nice cars or a champion at boxing Coulda been the best mc on the planet with a track list you’d play often could have been a doctor or could have got movie roles and got nominated for Oscars Anyway I'll stop with the what could haves and get back to the monsters Lorraine and Gemma had just got married they seemed real nice and looked really happy they were having a party, and needed a victim but I wish they didn’t invite Danny but they did and he went cos he didn’t have a clue it was going to end so badly if he did he woulda run like an athlete all the way home right back to his family but he didn’t, and now its all bad dreams they got to the house and poured him a drink he was already drunk and they poured him another they gave him some pills that made him feel drowsy & sick they had it all planned so he couldn’t do a runner they looked at each other and walked to a cupboard put a knife in each hand and talked to each other And said that in order to prove their love for each other...they had to sacrifice another And with no regards for his mother his baby sister or his little brother Little dan was the another that was going to suffer ... stab stab slice 1 to the neck 1 to the chest 1 to the back stab stab stab again in the back now his left lung has fully collapsed stab stab slice nearly half way there too much blood so they took him outside kicked him down the stairs Dragged him across to a bench continued to stab until they thought he was dead And just to make sure he couldn't go anywhere, they stabbed his hand to the bench After a kick to the head Then they left..... Then they came back little dan was still breathing so they gave another few stabs to help the right lung collapse As his intestines filled his little hands and the blood soaked the land around little dan Breaths getting shorter, heart rate getting slower not much blood to go now for the little guy He’s bleeding out for sure.. He knows he’s gonna die on this floor, but he keeps his eyes open for as long as he can Painting pictures in the stars with an imaginary hand Swallowed his pride and it dripped out his throat, getting ready to die as his little body slowly froze Curled up as tight as he could in his blood soaked holy clothes Said goodbye to the world that he knows and said good by the the world he don't Now the frost that froze his wounds, allowed blood to flow slower Heart rate has reduced just enough to tick over Go on son you can do it go onnnnnnnn Fucking go on wake uppppppppppp Pleaseeeeeeeee wake the fuckkkkk up and boom with a final shot of adrenaline he turned his back on heaven He opened his eyes and there was a dog in sight He reached up to the knife and pulled it out of his tiny hand and put it to his side He scrapped it on the ground which made the dog get hype and start barking which made the guy he walked with start asking What you barking at ya silly bastard. But the dog came running and the angry owner followed him over with fear kicking in with each step cos he can smell the blood as he gets closer He finally finds little dan curled up with his eyes open and the story has it that the little man smiled and worded to the big man Don't be scared just get help quick fam..... And with that he slipped back into a world where nobody will truly know Cos we never got that kid back this lad was born again jokez

I'm back in the war zone me myself & jokez The battle of the mind combined and I write more notes And they rhyme and I'm just like wow Cos I kinda like what I wrote So I just lose my grip and let the pen slip til the ink emptied reload the ink quick Explode a flow, that made me know That I could achieve my goals as I go ballistic I'm the target they missed in the distance I’m either hard to hit or I'm gifted Never raise my arms and quit cos I'm different Now I've got the heart to live I'm not injured Watch me go marching in my own missions No reinforcements just my own wisdom Just my own mind my only resistance My fight for life, I've improvised, a millions times And I've survived, I'm fearless I'm back in the snipers eye I'm doing zig zags Across the page that I invade to make an impact With a sedated brain, then slur the words I dispatch a mismatch, relapse, now watch me spin back my head full of combat that i’ll always remember Theres no one more on it I could never surrender the altercation with myself and nobody else Behind enemy lines is where I would end up The bomb just dropped and I see the smoke clear Everything stopped its like I've paused the moment The drone hit wiped out my opponents broke them I show them no condolence I stand for a minute like my feet are frozen flash bang Boom then I see an explosion Grab my pen and reload it, close my eyes and I open This is my life, there are many alike You might here it all the time but this one is mine I’m My own best friend. time to master my mind Still got a couple hundred pieces of this puzzle to find Cos with out my mind I'm just useless and my mind with out me just useless I speak the truth and then they call it music so I shoot in straight to the point I'm proving with an illusion of war while im sitting secluded then my mind stopped time just to slow the motion Rewinds 3 times and multiplies the whole room I see me squared, I been there, i swear down i’m not prepared, cos these pills are potent the execution of a human just for modern amusement i’m confused with their solution cos there is no improvement Don't know what they're doing cos I'm never included Now theses pills got me acting all stupid So I run in to the battlefield I'm waving a white flag In my right hand and my left tied to my strap my rhyme pad filled with the life that I've had the battle in my mind do I quit it or fight back Then bang bang boom bullets fly by my cap I dive to ground and hide behind the sand bags I drop the white flag I let my right hand meet the strap in my left hand And bang back like I'm a mad man on Baghdad mission But this isn't Iraq its just a mad mans visions i see my body collapse & then the blood start pissing Got my union jacked my dog tags went missing Body bag in a box with not a dam thing written i’m the man they forgot with just a pad full of lyrics so now you see what I see, you can see where I've been cos this is just a flash back I have every 5 dam minutes Cos I'm back in my pad on my bed Attacking a pad with a pen then counter attacking again To abandon the battle within This massacre trapped in my head Cos I fell like a passenger travelling dead, This body just a vessel I’m travelling in

DESOLATE 02:39
DESOLATE Had these lyrics rushing my head so I write em down Chilling in my living room the only time I'm sitting down my kids are missing out cos I run a business now daddies gotta work all time that’s why daddies not around I know I promised dan id never be a victim of this system But it was either that little man or daddy goes prison That would kill him to leave you on a visit to watch you grow in pictures to leave you wit your sister without a father figure Just to think of it I miss ya I don’t wanna be without ya But I’m working every hour using every bit of power Every bit of will every bit of pain everything I feel Trying to keep it real trying to pay the bills tryin to raise you well even if it kills yes I will I will do it I would do it still I would go to hell to give you and Emily the world, I would do it Dan for my little man and my little girl. I ain’t gonna do it how my father did it I admit it I could kill him, I was dying in that building he was chasing other women, I was barely fucking breathing, didn’t even come to see me, I’m supposed to be his baby fuck, I wasn’t even teething. I was ill mama seen it, I was screaming, you had wheels but was cheating, told my mum to leave it said she’s being stupid, I'm so glad she never listened or he would have got his wishes, that abortion at the clinic, but my mother never did it. So I gotta do it different, it’s a life I’ve not considered, but to see a life delivered, and to know its mine for ever That’s a moment I will treasure, yeah the 15th of December, seen the birth of my successor, now when me n him together, that’s a love u cannot measure, I'm a dad not just a father, I’d go mad without my daughter, or if anybody harmed her, I'm responsible for karma, yeah I would give my life up, sign me up to be a lifer, Ive already made my my mind up, I’ll protect her like shes china try to always be beside her but I'm working every hour that’s a lot of time without her. I don’t wanna hear about her I deserve to be around her I’m her father and I love her but a grafter & a worker. Working hard then working harder put in work until it’s working I aint perfect but I'm certain that I'm working cos they’re worth it Now I'm here to serve a purpose, got my kids to teach, they’re learning Growing quick & don’t like it cos I’m missing them be perfect Should I become an alcoholic yet and claim I’m sick Or turn into a jagger just to claim the benefits I’d be clucking all the time, living my life on that script I’d be fucking out my mind buts that’s more time with my kids Now I'm just living in this world where I’m just living to work but I aint getting any younger, close to leaving this earth Nah my body clock ain’t stopping turn a second hand to profit gonna turn my time to money then I'll leave what I earn

I Get ready for a night out with all the lights out Rehearsing my lyrics and taking some time out I’m putting on my clothes with both my eyes closed Turn off my iphone getting in my zone, tweaking up my flow Breathing speaking reading repeating the lyrics that I wrote Not giving them old just giving them bare just giving them jokez To show em I care to show em I’m here , to show em I'm there I show em my past and I keep it so clear i keep is so real So they feel what they hear, I keep it so real so they feel that they’re here. With me, When you see me in the club you see me keeping it humble Don’t ask for a table, V.I.P not fuck all Just a glass with 2 bits of ice, n rum on the double I'm still me on a level no I'm not above you I just came through the struggle on top made my aim my number one goal Pay my wage and be my own boss And don't let no one tell me I won’t swapped a road life for a microphone Studio time, to put the right words Cos if I back tracked and breached my parole I would have grabbed a strap and died first Cos the judge told me that I’d get life when he see’s me back in there next time And you best believe it yeah I believed him Cos the guy before me got 25 i’ve never seen death in something alive Went grey looked dead in his eyes 3 strikes he’s out In a case where nobody died But by the look of this guy nobody survived Over 2 million bars in my pad and I’m ready to drop them I changed my circle I don’t go around dodgems Had to go away for a few years, and i got forgotten Now im MCF with a #bestinscotland Never been more determined or focused Still on course to walk on my own Had to turn my back on that joker But now they get to know jokez I’m the Patient, doctor, voice of the people And they call me the crazy creative Used to hate it, but now i’m proud of the label cos without it I’m not be able to make this Made changes, switched lanes quick My situation was dangerous I'm talking places where strangers Would stab you up for your trainers Courageous, hungry teenagers our nature Uneducated So dedicated to make it but Its all wasted with hatred so I had to leave prison and get a fresh start leave the metal ones for the written bars Get my head straight and get off the meds Cos my lungs are healed and I've got the heart I could be an inspiration or incarcerated I could be locked away again or be creative I could give motivation through my mistakes so I set the way with the dream I'm chasing Quit, me, nah not ever im deep & I'm feeling the pressure Been off the meds for over 5 years And trust ive never been better Head so clear with no interference Now I hear the beat and ignite the lyrics I can close my eyes I can see the image And I can paint my dream and they can see it finished cos now my past was worth every minute Yeah all my scars and yeah all the prisons Wouldn’t change it or do it different like body art that shapes my appearance the pain and permanent pictures from my face all down to my fingers So I'll always know where I came from Cos it’s the man that I see in my mirrors Over 2 million bars in my pad and I’m ready to drop them I changed my circle I don’t go around dodgems Had to go away for a few years, and i got forgotten Now im MCF with a #bestinscotland I've got butterflies and I'm nervous I can hear them calling my name Start to doubt i’ve got my bars perfect That mad feeling walking on stage Then I start to spit and get settled in Like ive sparked a spliff with adrenaline My hearts pumped, I'm remembering Everything every bar cos its genuine it’s all me, just me and myself & jokez I just breath, n exhale the smoke n don't choke as it leaves my throat i go in, don't stop till I leave the show & im sat at home Curled up with my jacket on My air max still tied, go sleep and I dream beyond I Go deep til theres no response i go deep in the dream and find me where I belong And it won’t be long till I wake up plug my iPhone into its charger Put my pen back on to that paper And chase that dream a little bit harder Cos I came through the struggle on top made my aim my number one goal Pay my wage and be my own boss now Its on me, myself, your boy jokez

o no one made that way for me, so no one to thank for making gs So still say I hate the police and roll right past them blazing weed Only hate on them cos they hate on me cos they took my crop but I still stayed free No locks for them to turn keep them keys, thats a lot for them to burn, 50 gs I don’t agree wit the system, I agree wit the streets I open my ears and I listen Find me a beat and give them a voice with every track I release Give wisdom, cos when they’re down I don’t kick them I just put my hands out to pick up, I’m that friendly neighbourhood nigga Building bridges, giving hope back to the hopeless, putting a coat on the back of the homeless, just a random act of some kindness Instant karma, when the past comes back to harm us, bites you on the arse harder, and goes right to the bone like piranhas So I live different, don’t receive before I start giving, don’t believe in can’t I don’t give up, I ate all the charms got shit luck But I’m breathing, I still see my death when I’m sleeping, which gives everyday a new reason, to keep focused and keep believing. Inspiration, I just give it out without thinking, I just speak the words and they listen, leave them choices And decisions Dedication, is all you're ever gonna get from me, that’s why the fam got respect for me, aint signing no deal I'd never leave So no one made that way for me, so no one to thank for making gs So still say I hate the police and roll right past them blazing weed Only hate on them cos they hate on me cos they took my crop but I still stayed free No locks for them to turn keep them keys, thats a lot for them to burn, 50 gs X2 I don’t agree wit the law, they don’t protect our streets anymore, last week they put shek in the morgue, from father to corps they show no remorse Cold hearted, yeah I used to be when I started man would back the beef, create carnage, man go Japanese and start carving. I made changes, filled the book with new pages, no longer see me filling that chamber, no more sticking up no more strangers No more living dangerous, ok I live on the edge I'm lying, I'm just waiting for death cos I'm dying, I'm not taking breaths when I’m rhyming So I give guidance, with everything that I’m writing, I'm just trying to break that silence, I'm that shoulder when you start crying Not into violence, but don’t make weakness out of my kindness, dont take me for some kinda minor cos I’ll fuck you up if you try this, Keeping it humble, I still help the people that struggle, stay myself and true to my hustle, still don’t ask this world for fuck all Just the air that I breath, yeah the weed that I smoke, health for my kids, leave the rest up to jokez So no one made that way for me, so no one to thank for making gs So still say I hate the police and roll right past them blazing weed Only hate on them cos they hate on me cos they took my crop but I still stayed free No locks for them to turn keep them keys, thats a lot for them to burn, 50 gs X2

7 years, 7 years, 7 years, 7 years, 7 years, 7 years, 7 years, 7 years, 7 years, 7 years, 7 years, 7 years, 7 years, 7 years, 7 years, 7 years, I cant believe I’ve been out 7 years, I cant believe I’ve been out 7 years, I cant believe I’ve been out 7 years, I cant believe I’ve been out 7 years, I cant believe I’ve been out 7 years, I cant believe I’ve been out 7 years, I cant believe I’ve been out 7 My journey started in that holding cell, underneath that court Now I'm out here making music for the whole world & arranging a tour shit, all my hard work has turned my life around to this I keep looking around cos I'm so proud of all of it Not got my head down, not having no doubts, not bored of here I just look at the crowd and give them the sound they wanna hear Ive got no one to thank I changed my life on my own Now that’s kinda ironic cos now I don’t ever get time alone I helped my body to find my soul, the one I left a long time ago Cos where this bodies about to go, gotta give it my heart, give it my soul give it my soul x3 And I’m not scared yeah I just said it I'm not scared Changed up my mind when I got there Starting reading and writing and got here Stopped stabbing & and fighting and counting the time Stopped thinking of what I was missing outside 3 & a half, took a grip of my life, took a grip of my life and I got out on time I got my parole I got back on road, a ticket to Scotland a bag for my clothes I didn’t have have money I only had goals, that’s kinda funny cos now ive got both But don’t get it twisted, didn’t make it by being gifted Took me 6 months but I found a job that I liked but I didn’t like still being part of the system Franky gave me a job, and I thank him for his assistance Taught me how to be a boss and how to operate things when it comes down to my own business. Then I applied to do music, I give my thanks to Bisset I turned up with no exams, in my hand just the life I have had, And he listened, Then I committed to music, it has set me free lady leesh said I need to follow my dreams, and I believed. Now when I holla at everyone, everyone holla’s right back Now it befits anyone to hear my mind on a track You can relate my story to anything if you just understand You can be under dog but you can turn that to upper hand I phoned up my ex girl when I got out of jail I could tell by her voice that she was surprised as hell I just wanted to say hi, I hope that shes fine and doing well But she’d been married twice, kids wit 2 guys, and still herself Now I'm working with boydy & toni , making these videos Chillin with jazzy, making, beats in our studio Wear my own clothes, choose where I go, I drive to shows There’s people I know every where that I go, no jokes I'm glad its alls done while I'm still young, not going bald Now ive got kids flesh and my blood, to show the rules Cos that’s on me to make sure they don’t take the path I chose And now Im thanking everyone that had a laugh at at jokez….
