Lyrics

My mum didn't have no job So she had to do with a little old shop Selling ice block and ice water 7up Some lollipop some time choco pops Straight from school then am back into the shop Sell a couple hundred bucks put it in the yellow box I was learning the rules of the dreams that i got She was giving me the tools for when the big drop Then i hold on to the hip hop Saying i ain't letting go see the problems i got So we straight to the studio then i go cooking Whole different type of beat in a real kitchen Worriеd for the homies what they gon еat Cause my mama used to say thats how a lady gon be Then i climb okada okota to ojota I gotta go to yaba to squat with Leila Stress all of this stress Look at this pimples Look at this mess Maine fuck what i look like Am look for the me that don't look like the one without the good life You still wanna look real pretty real pretty Put some make up on like am on tv on tv Used to wanna look real pretty real pretty Put some make up on like am on tv How happy you would be if you ever had a dream Come with ease so you never loose sleep Like when my mama had me driving in the car Then came the rain then it poured She said i looked like i was ready for the world But i guess i didn't realise that it would be this hard All i ever think about is how i go far Buy my mum a new car maybe range rover Wake up no make ups Still broke but i never say am gon stop Go back in the booth tell Gray Jones Turn up the snare in my head phones Thats that line from that Eminem song That i had to memorize before i wrote rhymes Before i knew i could survive in this life time You still wanna look real pretty real pretty Put some make up on like am on tv on tv Used to wanna look real pretty real pretty Put some make up on like am on tv In a little way i consider myself a story teller I think thats the first thing that i ever did, growing up as a child Story telling i was... was always writing it was always important for me to tell a story Urged me to be a writer so with music and with rap am always tryna do that well And em as a writer i think that am fearless in some ways, am not just any writer As a human being as well i think am careless in some ways And i think that that tells a lot in the kind of decisions that i make with my art with my work And em am really really independent of everybody else's opinions I like to hear what people have to say but at the end of the day am always with my gut feelings I think thats how i stay alive listening to my instincts
