VERSE 1:
THIS LIFE TRIED TO FUCK ME, BEND ME OVER, DOGGY STYLE LIKE A HEIMLICK MANOUVRE
MY MIDDLE FINGER POINTED TO YA LIKE SMI IM A TROOPER
TRY ME IM SUPER S ON MY CHEST,
BACK ON THE WALL, GRIMY, A SHOOTER
THE STREETS AMOUR ME, I'M TRYINA GET OUT LIKE DAN KALUUYA
THEY MADE ME RICH AND I'M THANKFUL TO YA
OH, THAT'S YOUR WORD? THE NERVE OF YOU, WHEN YOU WAS FINISHED
AND FLAT ON YOUR FACE, WHO WERE YOU TURNING TO?
WHO GAVE YOU THE BALLS TO TAKE THEM BENZES
FROM GRIPAR AND FLOOD THE COMMON ROOM
AND BARE KNUCKLE FIGHT IN THE STREETS LIKE GUILE - SONIC BOOM
NOW YOU WANA SWEEP US THE PAST, I GUESS YOU WANT A BROOM
YOU KNOW WHAT IM SAYING, THIS AINT 02 WHEN THE WALLS IN MY HOME WERE DECAYING, DODGING BAILIFFS, WHEN WE WEAS BROKE AND WAS PRAYING
THAT'S WHEN I WANTED A WAY IN, BUT I WAS SEVENTEEN, I'M THIRTY-PLUS NOW,
WHAT IF MY LUCK'S OUT? THE GAME'S CHANGED
REALLY WHAT I MEAN TO SAY, I'VE ASCENDED TO NEW LEVELS
THE GRASS IS NEVER GREENER, NEW EVELS, NEW DEVILS
,
CHORUS:
MONEY LOW, DEVIL HIGH, HE'S A LIAR,
BE IT SO, GET THIS DOUGH OR A THREE TO FIVE
ALL I KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S REALLY REAL,
MY OMEN ON ME, AND THIS MONEY'S MY ACHILLES HEEL
WHAT'S THE DEAL,
THE STREETS ALWAYS SHOW ME LOVE IS IT REALLY REAL?
THE DECIL DITTING ON MY SHOULDER, TELL ME HOW YOU FEEL
MY OMEN ON ME AND THIS MONEY'S MY ACHILLES HELL
VERSE 2:
I WAS TARGETED, FOLLOWED, JACKBOYS WANTED MY DOME PLASTERED WITH HOLLOWS,
MY CAR'S UNDER OBO, I WAS GOING HARD FOR MY BOROUGH,
THE TRUTH IS A G LEAVES BEFORE IT ENDS IN SORROW
YOU'RE A HUSTLING MOTHERFUCKER B, YOU'RE FULL OF SHIT,
HUSTLE YOU LOVE IT, EVERY TIME YOU'RE TUGGED, YOUR YARD IS FULL OF BRICKS
REMEMBER BRISTOL, THE TRIDENT IN LEICESTER SQUARE? (YEAH)
BEST TO RESPECT ME, THAT BLACK GOLF LOOKING FOR YOU IN BEXLEY
AND THAT MOVE IN SOUTH-WEST OH YOU THOUGHT YOU WAS SEXY
NOW YOU'VE GOT ME PARO, MISDEMEANOURS, MY SCARPES HAVE BEEN NARROW,
MY FAMILY NEED ME, THIS LIFE IS TOO SHADY AND SHALLOW
YOU AGAINST OF FOR ME? I'LL ONLY WELCOME GOOD ENERGY,
OPTIONS ARE PLENTY, FUTURE'S BRIGHT, FUCK PUSSIES AND FRENEMIES
SO, WHAT YOU TELLING ME?
J IT'S AS CLEAR AS VOLVIC,
YOU'VE EVOLVED BUT YOU AINT TOO GROWN TO BE HOLDING
LOOK AT THE SHIT YOU'S INVOLVED WITH, AND NOW
IT'S FUCK THE HOOD? THAT AINT A GOOD SHOUT
I AINT SAYING FUCK THE HOOD, I'M JUST SAYING I'M GOOD NOW
CHORUS:
MONEY LOW, DEVIL HIGH, HE'S A LIAR,
BE IT SO, GET THIS DOUGH OR A THREE TO FIVE
ALL I KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S REALLY REAL,
MY OMEN ON ME, AND THIS MONEY'S MY ACHILLES HEEL
WHAT'S THE DEAL,
THE STREETS ALWAYS SHOW ME LOVE IS IT REALLY REAL?
THE DECIL DITTING ON MY SHOULDER, TELL ME HOW YOU FEEL
MY OMEN ON ME AND THIS MONEY'S MY ACHILLES HELL
VERSE 3:
I GUESS YOU NEED A MOMENT, YOU NEED A DRINK AND SOME WEED AND SOME SOLACE,
I NEED ATONEMENT, I DON'T NEED TO SPEAK WITH MY OMEN,
I NEED TO BE ALONE TO SCHEME AND FOCUS,
I'M THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU DRIVING A JEEP OR A FOCUS,
ALL YOUR ROLEYS, SUB WITH THE BLUE FACE, NEW J'S,
GUCCI LOAFERS, BOW TIES, NEW CHAINS, YOU NAME IT,
I'M THE REASON YOU'RE FLY, DON'T CUT OFF YOUR NOSE TO SPITE YOUR POCKET,
THE WHOLE COULD BE YOURS, BUT YOUR LIFE'S THE DEPOSIT
LONG AS I GOT MY HEALTH, I'LL FIGURE THE BLUEPRINT,
I GOT CRIBS, I'LL MAKE BIGGER IMPROVEMENTS
YOU NEED BITCHES AND CUBANS,
COME ON SMILES YOU HEAR ME CLEARLY
FUCK ALLA THAT,
GET THIS VOICE FROM MY HEAD, I DON'T NEED YOU NEAR ME
IM NOT SUPPOSED TO GROW? I NEED YOUR CONSENT? IM NOT SUPPOSED
TO GO FROM WHERE I ONCE WENT? PLEASE, THIS A NEW ROAD FOR JOE
WELL, SOME PEOPLE DON'T TREASURE OR WANT YOUR FRIENDSHIP,
WHICHEVER ROAD YOU CHOOSE TO FO DOWN, THERE'S CONSEQUENCES.
CHORUS:
MONEY LOW, DEVIL HIGH, HE'S A LIAR,
BE IT SO, GET THIS DOUGH OR A THREE TO FIVE
ALL I KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S REALLY REAL,
MY OMEN ON ME, AND THIS MONEY'S MY ACHILLES HEEL
WHAT'S THE DEAL,
THE STREETS ALWAYS SHOW ME LOVE IS IT REALLY REAL?
THE DECIL DITTING ON MY SHOULDER, TELL ME HOW YOU FEEL
MY OMEN ON ME AND THIS MONEY'S MY ACHILLES HELL
