[Verse 1 Devlin] Im fed up with life at the minute So I get it off my chest when Im writing my lyrics Having to give my Nan hospital visits I just pray to God she dont turn to a spirit Cause shes the only Nan Ive got left And it hurts in my head when I contemplate her death Knowing that one day soon shell be gone That thought leaves me short of breath Yeah thats just one of the things That makes me feel like Im running in rings No process made thats a regular thing But if I stop spitting that would be the death of a king Ive got to learn to focus my mind at the lowest of times Then lo and behold the scene could be mine Draw you a picture with words I describe with a caption beside [Hook Devlin] As life goes by, in the blink of an eye I stay focused on writing my rhymes These streets are inviting to crime If I didnt write music Id probably go mad in my mind Because its only music that keeps me sane Plus bud and beers to forget the pain Just reflecting my days go away [Verse 2 Smasher] Let me tell another story, tell about a 23 year old man that dont wanna fail Every move he makes his hearts in it, from the start to the finish Because losing aint never ever been an option Constantly cooking up plans and concoctions Raised in a place called Hoxton By his Nan and granddad, gets to see his mum on a weekend That was a treat then she was spoilt rotten and then its back to the east then Years later man will be sick with a big pen Living in a place where the youths strap big lens Pure drama a star performer leave the boost so hot u could call it a sauna 10 out of 10 Im back at it again whatever the outcome its music to the end [Hook] Just another day in the life this music aint paying me right Like a worker at MacDonalds receiving minimum wage I get pennies for the shit that Ive write on the pages Like Im feeling so what in slaved due to power and urban decay There aint no prospects in the UK today So my mates keep playing up the caine I dont know what I stand in the struggling and strain Im trapped in the thunder and rain But I dont give a fuck for the fame so if I full pray to my sins then lust is to blame Im in your ear like blood in your veins And yeah Im on the road like buskers and trains Im just like everyone I love to be paid Im messed up it must be the bud that I blaze There aint nothing for us The way Im feeling there aint no word in the thesaurus Born on the 7th of may Im a Taurus Cant keep my job cause I cant take orders I feel like Im outside of the borders Looking inside of the rich and the borders then I take a look around my headquarters And Im ripping my hair out soon my heads gonna look like Gail Porters They hit us with extortion and treat illegal immigrants much more important than me and you Cause Ive lived there all my life and live got nothing to show for it And you cant get rich from work so spitting Ive gotta have a really good go at it Ive put my boat in the stream and now I keep rowing it its my dream I wont let go of it [Hook]
