Dem Dere Roads

Lyrics

[Verse 1: President T] "Born and raised, Prez, where was you born and raised?" When I gave out my address, they was amazed 90% of wicked man talk is over the phone, that's why I've never been fazed Then I got wheeled by feds They looked into my eyes, never been glazed (wow) Just close your eyes and pretend this bar never got built I know skengman so far up north, don't be surprised if you see them wearing a kilt I was the sentence without the guilt I was the sentence without the pre-sentence report My whole career in grime? Never been sure [Hook: Bossman Birdie] I grew up in dem dere zones Dem dere avenues, dem dere roads Won't hear the Boss with dem dere flows Why's that? Me, I carry dem dere Os Wanna make history, not dem dere clothes Dem dere jacket, nah, I ain't inna dem dere modes Real black man so you dun know, I ain't carryin' dem dere pose I grew up in dem dere zones Dem dere avenues, dem dere roads Won't hear the Boss with dem dere flows Why's that? Me, I carry dem dere Os Wanna make history, not dem dere clothes Dem dere jacket, nah, I ain't inna dem dere modes Real black man so you dun know, I ain't carryin' dem dere pose [Verse 2: President T] If you ever thought life was bad, look on the bright side Where I'm from, not the same place as Ian, but it's the right side I was a younger, they were like, "Your whole career will glide" Call me the Golden Eye of grime, but I never spied Ever since Back Inna My Face, I multiplied Give you a tour of where I'm from, but it won't come with a guide It's not that, this MC just lied Now it's all intensified, word on the street, he testified Where I'm from is known world and nationwide I play Stranger Returns each and every day in my ride [Hook: Bossman Birdie] I grew up in dem dere zones Dem dere avenues, dem dere roads Won't hear the Boss with dem dere flows Why's that? Me, I carry dem dere Os Wanna make history, not dem dere clothes Dem dere jacket, nah, I ain't inna dem dere modes Real black man so you dun know, I ain't carryin' dem dere pose I grew up in dem dere zones Dem dere avenues, dem dere roads Won't hear the Boss with dem dere flows Why's that? Me, I carry dem dere Os Wanna make history, not dem dere clothes Dem dere jacket, nah, I ain't inna dem dere modes Real black man so you dun know, I ain't carryin' dem dere pose
