Inaugural
(Ayo, Rolly, run that back)
Your favourite artist told me I'm his favourite artist
They said I should cross over, really break the market
Sign a big record deal and really take advantage
Like I ain't got blocks there and trees to harvest
When I rap about that shit, it just seems nostalgic
How you rap about that shit and you ain't been around it?
I had a function with my shooter, told him, "Squeeze around quick"
Fuck cash, there's about eight years on my outfit
But, Bemi got me this, and I can't even pronounce it
You can't tell me 'bout cash, bro, I get it, I counts it
I'm tryna link my old cats so I can drop 'em some ounces
That's for when you let me sleep in your houses, thank you
Never let them play with your reputation
For years now, I gave you pain, gave you education
Nowadays, we get money, so we're elevatin'
I still get you air lifted, call it elevation
I got anxiety, it's the separation
Separation from my stick 'cause I got hella paigons
And these feds are on my dick, and the probation
So, don't post me in your pics or my location
Bs up, I let it be like a bygone
Fuck the labels, in the streets, he's a icon
I got platinum on my wrist, it ain't tickin' though
But, I am every day, I'm a time bomb
You think this all starts when I turn my mic' on?
From a yute, man, I hugged my block in my high tops
I sold three for twenty fives, I never signed on
Police stations only place I ever signed on
That's signin' on for bail
Vvs like cook, crack shinin' on my scale
Just look at it dancin', over here, it's fryin' like cookin' the plantain
Mummy used to push the whip, now, I push it to start it
I gave you all my love and you took it for granted
I'm rappin' all my pain, now, just look at it chartin'
I been all around the world, but I started in Barking
On the Gascoigne Estate, sellin' crack at a bargain price
Kitchen and carvin' knives
Banged up for half his life
You know that story though, told that one more than twice
They gotta up my price
Feel like I'm Declan Rice
I used to sell bariis, look, now, I'm rich for life
