It pains me to see someone like you
Who... who's everything
Discovering their everything as
Reduced to a beggar in your own kingdom
Maintaining focus gets harder by the day
Feeling hopeless, tryna count on brighter days
My hope when I wrote this note
Was to open up but the rope done choked him, yeah
Open up but the rope done choked him, please pray
Don't pick up that phone, mayday
Little man is just 16, but bread from F-L-A-Ts
Essence never clean cause he wants that cheddar cheese
Just another clone, thrown naysay
Till they're hoarse, pony up that green
To the pier with your peers, piercing needle appears
The only thing that can stop that leap
Peer pressure often seems
Like an offering of peace
Comes from the right blowing
Left sense home with the keys
And he's only 16
When he gets home it's back to doling out Gs
Yeah tying off knots not that he rolled with his teeth
Ducking police, making tuppence
Kicks mates stole on his feet
No home isn't sleep
Home's where the dope's sold to homeless
By kids who were taught to be tight-knit OD
No, home is in pieces
No, home isn't free
Opens his phone, eviction notice
Ma's holding the envelope of notes
Pictures of bags packed
Yeah, fuckin' clothes on the street
Cotton swab, spoon, lighter, veins
Tying off knots, pierce a hole, let it bleed
Maintaining focus gets harder by the day
Feeling hopeless, tryna count on brighter days
My hope when I wrote this note
Was to open up but the rope done choked him, yeah
Open up but the rope done choked him, please pray
My hope when I wrote this note was to open up
But the rope done choked him
Elders got him molded, no flipping just Motorola
So flippant though, is the blower left to be burnt
Like his brothers shifting the cola
As distant to sober as estranged
Siblings don't know 'em, deranged
Feelings take hold, got me vain
Needless they poke, what Cobain
Speech stops a man drowning
Gotten you to row with youth in tow
I script this note, the gift of hope
So stop that damn clout shit
Cancel culture can get the boat
Kept afloat by them handouts
And just enough to get the smoke
Drink till your plan's shrouded
Barely pay rent for the housing, it's a joke
Is this the city civies see fit for a home, you can't doubt it
Will he see 17, outdoors please let little man out, yeah
Tried and tested psychopathic tendencies
Is where this crazy life will get ya
I confess to having dreams of streams of blood
Roll up on me from all directions
Bite thy neck when nails go deep
To make me bleed between the sheets
We paint expression
Game of chess, the kings and queens
Will be deceased the day the weakest peeps assemble
Power to the people
Free speech? Yeah we lost that steeple.
Raise a child in a land full of paedos
Wear a mask, living life in a peephole
Say nah, locked up, it's illegal
Get a jab, put your faith in a needle
Got a plan but it ain't that peaceful
Gonna drown the whole Daíl in diesel
So please believe that we can beat this evil
Cause our kids will be the ones to face the sequel
Beef in streets about what we think is equal
While these weasels feel the need to get their teeth done
We run out of energy real quick
So we keep on dealing with the same old shit
Fuck Mícheal!
Just a new face, same tricks
We all getting fucked with the same dick
With no condom on, you don't like it raw?
Put your ass in the streets and really get involved
What's a damn Instagram feed gonna solve?
I say fuck the peace, they can't arrest us all
Why are we the sheep and they play the gods?
Yeah we like to think that we call the shots
Turn a cheek for their monologues
We can't change the world until we face our flaws
We're flawed as fuck
On the wrong side of courts, still the first to judge
Blind eye to the poor while we feed the ducks
Ridicule an addict, then you key your bump
Say you hate your habits, but you're changing none
I don't understand it, we're fucking dumb
And it's not about riches, you are wealth
You are the wealth
