I Got My Head Screwed On

Lyrics

[Intro] Head's too strong In the hood for too long It's time to move on Never do wrong [Chorus] I got my head screwed on You can't pursue my mentality because my head's too strong Because I've been in the hood for too long It's time to move on My mum told me not to do wrong So many street wars caused death That's just another yout gone I don't care what a next man's crew's on I just wanna start a revolution I got my head screwed on You can't pursue my mentality because my head's too strong Because I've been in the hood for too long It's time to move on My mum told me not to do wrong So many street wars caused death That's just another yout gone I don't care what a next man's crew's on I just wanna start a revolution [Verse 1] Just from the way that you look at me I can see that me doing music's had a big impact On your feelings when you're hated for no reason And I been there, done there Had to break the cycle Write bars, go studio, jealousy, I had to say bun that It's not good to hate on someone Especially when the young only try to impress mum Music's all I got I ain't got qualifications or GCSEs Without it, in hell I rot Bruv, there's a lot of corruption in the block A lot of guys hate on Dot And wanna see me in the suit, fam around me [?] looking in a box But I ain't tryna get shot Money and bags, I'm trying to make lots [Chorus] I got my head screwed on You can't pursue my mentality because my head's too strong Because I've been in the hood for too long It's time to move on My mum told me not to do wrong So many street wars caused death That's just another yout gone I don't care what a next man's crew's on I just wanna start a revolution [Verse 2] Police needs to understand why I rob 'Cause I'm young with no qualifications or job No income Black [?], I've been one Unable to put food in my cupboard It's not like I live in the country where crops grow My fund's low I can pick a corn on a cob I live in the great streets Where most youts either shot weed and make beats Or go do [?] I'm ungrateful I got clothes, I copped enough to feed poor families till they're stable It's kids that are dying and suffering [?] gets me mad, I can't stay cool There's a war going on religious and racial For money, people will kill Even run up in your yard and still wanna lie to your face too To manipulate money is the great tool [Chorus] I got my head screwed on You can't pursue my mentality because my head's too strong Because I've been in the hood for too long It's time to move on My mum told me not to do wrong So many street wars caused death That's just another yout gone I don't care what a next man's crew's on I just wanna start a revolution [Verse 3] Everybody wants to be famous Wants the new trainers Make papers and start wearing the latest You bang a one hit in studio Then expect to get off a five figure jet from the majors Do your video in a club in Las Vegas You must be blind or out of your mind If you didn't know money's known to attract haters Furthermore, you must be trapped in the matrix I do this because I love music I love making beats and writing You just love status You don't worry about how your family are You're more worried about where your next wage is For funds, your best friend will set you up And then say it's him, you say you've known him for ages You need to understand everyone's broke To get signed, all I can do is hope But lost in the thing that means something to me To the status shit, that means nothing to me Respect for my friends and family But if I talk to the woman that carry me Feds want me behind bars and they're getting there gradually I've got PCs behind, hearing that I had a casualty Or that I caught a case because I shanked a yout that tried clashing from Battersea I got beef My boy got shanked five times, got nicked Feds said that I snitched, I don't talk to police I say no comment, I wait for the release Fuck the police It's youts that wants to see me underneath But suck yourself My shows will leave you believe There's no question of turning over leaves And if it's on, have you burn in a beef [Chorus] I got my head screwed on You can't pursue my mentality because my head's too strong Because I've been in the hood for too long It's time to move on My mum told me not to do wrong So many street wars caused death That's just another yout gone I don't care what a next man's crew's on I just wanna start a revolution I got my head screwed on You can't pursue my mentality because my head's too strong Because I've been in the hood for too long It's time to move on My mum told me not to do wrong So many street wars caused death That's just another yout gone I don't care what a next man's crew's on I just wanna start a revolution I got my head screwed on You can't pursue my mentality because my head's too strong Because I've been in the hood for too long It's time to move on My mum told me not to do wrong So many street wars caused death That's just another yout gone I don't care what a next man's crew's on I just wanna start a revolution
