[Verse] I grew up in the south of the town Where beef starts to spread And death comes about Where friends start to go And feds come around There's nowhere to go apart from the ground We didn't have no P's to touch I was only little, I didn't know much No father figure, no smiles in pictures I'm working hard It's all for my mum She would work so hard for a fiver To call up her mum in Eritrea, with the lyca That's why I'mma make it up Hope you know I'mma take it up Tryna stack all my paper up Hope you know I'mma take it up Put a middle finger at a hater, cause They don't understand The way I came through, cuz They don't understand the way that I came here Only made a couple bands on my revelation I just prayed to the Lord and had patience Cause this year is all about elevation Shutdown Westfield 'cause I can though No dad on my ones, I'm a man though No, I ain't no average civilian 13, I banged my first million views Might recognize from the videos too Went from a school yute to a cool yute Sang a couple tunes now I'm making them moves Still going school I'm a lyrical yute Everything I see, oh it be a wave Smiles on my face, my tunes in the rave No more L's, starting from today Only going up, can never downgrade Tryna get my people out of the slums But keep the respect Cause that's where I'm from The real southside of a London Where all the shit just has to go Bang, bang, bang I don't understand, stand, stand It's all going mad, mad, mad When you tell me they're gone It's all gone wrong And they won't come back, back, back How can they just leave like that How can they just leave like that When you tell me they're gone It's all gone wrong I'm just tryna get away from here Make my bread and disappear You can't make success appear You gotta work that shit up there Through the ups and downs I can't shed no tears Keep my head up and show no fear Keep it up till the coast is clear I got to work that shit up there Through the ups and downs I can't shed no tears Keep my head up and show no fear Keep it up till the coast is clear You got to work that shit up there yeah, yeah
