Life Of Mine

Old before my time, road before my rhyme
I could've ghost a thousand times in
This little life of mine
Road before my rhyme, old before my time
I could've ghost a thousand times in
This little life of mine
Old before my time, road before my rhyme
I could've ghost a thousand times in
This little life of mine
Road before my rhyme, old before my time
I could've ghost a thousand times in
This little lifе of mine

Some recklеss little fuckers
From the noughties riding round in chordeys
Drinking liquor like we Geordies
Before I told 'em "take me in"
Nanny tried support me tried take me in
Older brothers caught me, tried break me in
Had me out for days on end
I never thought them days would end
Shit I done seen my friends turn
Snake and seen my mates pretend
I was rocking Primark
Couldn't even get no H&M
Shit daddy's gone and mum ain't
Never been the same again
There weren't no food up in my house
We couldn't pay the rent
Mummy said "you made your bed"
Truth I never made my bed
Drop where I lay my head
All I knew was pain from then
Caught up in the cycle
How that system really made us men
And I ain't living there but
Nanny's held a raid again
She getting older, she's stressing
I told her save her strength
This lifestyle crazy tense and I
Ain't tryna play the bench shit

Old before my time, road before my rhyme
I could've ghost a thousand times in
This little life of mine
Road before my rhyme, old before my time
I could've ghost a thousand times in
This little life of mine

I'm tryna get it then what else?
I'm up and down, I'm hitting sales
I take that change, I take
That short, I'm Tesco, every little helps
I was up all night to get some
Call me Franky not Pharrell
I've been in and out of prison
Mummy feeling like she failed
I did my 21st in Aylesbury
Eighteen down the block in Felts
I turned sweet sixteen in Warren Hill
Imagine how I felt
But now they feel me like I'm Braille
Picture little white Jamal hanging
Pictures in my cell
I never had a pot to piss in
Now I'm pissing on the world
Probably tipsy with my girl
Got her stripping to Miguel
Remember I was living Hell
Bare fuckery and betrayal
Losing people ain't what does you
It's the living with yourself

Road before my rhyme, old before my time
I could've ghost a thousand times in
This little life of mine
Road before my rhyme, old before my time
I could've ghost a thousand times in
This little life of mine
