[Chorus]
She told me "Baby, you ain't got potential"
But then she came back to me
All of that shit stayed attached to me
All of you niggas is SAT'ing me
I swear that
I shed too many tears inside my eyes to pretend that revenge ain't my fantasy
Imagine that man trying to pattern me, uh
Way them man talk fam, had to ask have they got his cheek
'Cause I don't really do that disrespect
Step correct when addressin' me
[Verse 1]
Niggas in the ends, so lost
Heard they runnin' to commin to commas, and they lost thеm peas
Man, I got scars on my eyes and knees
Nah, shе ain't trying to ride or die with me
So I bust a toke and smoke weed
All my niggas who done lost their freedom get freed
I remember jokes in 2016, left their niggas in the past in 2016
And I mean envy that I seen, it's too deep in my ends
That if I blow right now, dem man are gonna dead me down
For what? Brothers gonna run me down, on god
[Verse 2]
Ayy, grew up where the sun don't shine and the bad guys reign
Where the manna in pain, uh
Said I gotta go get paid
I'm bumpin' that train, I'm stuck in my ways, uh
I'm way too astonishing, makin' 'em clock, ayy, uh
I see them niggas there, still on the block, uh
And I know niggas that hate themselves like Priti Patel
Ain't have no coins for the wishing well
Guy Fawkes, but I never fell
And I can't ever die, be the same as them
Feds in the crib, I was younger than ten
And I saw my face on Fader
So I saw my face on the page of GRM
[Chorus]
She told me "Baby, you ain't got potential"
But then she came back to me
All of that shit stayed attached to me
All of you niggas is SAT'ing me
I swear that (You have failed)
I shed too many tears inside my eyes to pretend
That revenge ain't my fantasy
Imagine dem man tryna to patent me (Woah)
[Verse 3]
Imagine dem man tryna pattern me (Yeah)
I tell my life through a tragedy (Yeah, yeah)
He said he better than who? (Yeah)
That nigga losin' his sanity (Uh)
Dem man are tapped, but we ain't involved, ayy
I just been hittin' the road, yeah
I'm in a different mode
[Verse 4]
Yeah, they ride around in the city
Thinkin' they savin' us, they ain't savin' us
They ain't been savin' nothing
We got scars from the saving somethin', but you call it nothin'
Think they a light in the city, they came from the Citadel
They been bringin' hell
I was suffered from a child, nobody told me it was pain in the ends
And I still saw love, I was livin' off hope
In the ends with the guys in the back of the whip
And I still came back for the yards and the bit
Still no change for the pain or the train journey
So the Lewisham DLR don't tap no cards, got no money like this
And they patrollin' my strip
But I ain't gonna loose my shit, uh
[Chorus]
He told me "Nigga, you ain't got potential"
And he started pattin' me (Yeah)
All of that shit stayed attached to me
He got a badge, and the padded knees
I swear, yeah
I shed too many tears inside of my ends to pretend
That revenge ain't my fantasy
[Outro]
Imagine dem man trying to pattern me, yeah
They got a cuff and they pattin' me
He think he better than me (Me)
He tryna make me a casualty
Dem niggas tapped and we ain't involved (Yeah, yeah)
All cause we hittin' the road
Niggas try lead me away from my soul
