Hindsight

[Intro - Little Torment]
Where was they when I got grabbed for a skeng?
Where was they when I got grabbed for a skeng again?
Where was they when we was rolling with intent?

[Verse 1 - Little Torment]
Where was they? I can't trust 'em if it's life or death
Cause niggas move fucking left and love, there ain't nothing left
Management just cutting cheques, amount of drugs I finessed
I ain't gotta sell no pebs, they're just mad it wasn't them
When I was broke I had loads of friends
Fell out with people, tryna help them out the hole they're in
She wanna fuck me, she got a man but she so daring
I don't fear no fucking body but I'm God fearing
And I feel a little way now they don't stop staring
This fame life will make you anxious but I've stopped caring
I'm smoking buds, you drive through here
You know which block we're in
I've got some dough, there ain't a rumour that I'm not hearing
It was 'Free Tox', he's a real one, on me I'm swearing
I shot at niggas for the love that nigga's been sharing
We don't speak, you owe me money, tell me how you're sour
Everything's just getting Judas'd, my ten thousandth hour
My ex man, she say I always put the money first
But being broke, there's nothing worse
And you don't mind them Gucci purses
When it was cold nights, no electricity
I shoulda hit the betting shop and put a bet on me
Because today I came through shining and my kid forever smiling
I've been living life all righteous, gun play on a Sunday
Thank God it weren't right when we did shit that wasn't right
All that other shit, you know what it gets like

[Hook - Little Torment]
Close the curtains in the kitchen while I cook this thing
I don't want the neighbours or nobody looking in
Even with all this time that I've been putting in
Free all my people in the jail, I still look for them
I need them hours in the studio so log them in
I don't like to speak on what it could've been
If I didn't beat the case and what I would've been
If I did I'll lose my hitta, how it should've been

[Verse 2 - Nines]
Where was they when my daughters were born?
They're so beautiful
Where was they couple months after bro's funeral?
Or when I was at the station staring at the ceiling?
Where was they when me and my nigga Dewy was on C wing?
Where was they when I was on that hospital bed?
Where was they when me and Inch were beating copper and lead?
Where was they when they said money got to my head?
Where was they that time I got robbed for a Z?
Where was they when I was asking to borrow?
Where was they when the block was a ghost town after the obbo?
Where was they before I made it off of rap?
Where was they when it was just me and a cat lady in the trap?
Where was they when Keyz robbed Hanz
And split the prof with me?
Where was they when my nigga Skrapz took a loss for me?
My own people wanna see me fail
Niggas wanna gang bang
They ain't got the same energy for the EDL
