[Hook - Artan]
It's not about
It's not about putting no money over friends
That's a bumpy road, I can tell you where that ends
My bro it's not about
It's not about being a winner on your block
There's a bigger world out there, have you forgot?
Do you know that it's not about?
It's not about trying to impress the people round you
Do it cause you love it, never doubt you
My bro it's not about
It's not about tryna be someone that you're not
Just act as if there's no one there to watch
[Verse 1 - Artan]
You see back when I was sixteen, all I had was big dreams
And every time I failed I looked to Heaven and said "Pick me"
Always was a pеssimist but still had dreams of getting rich
Finally found my passion but the mandеm still out there selling bits
I hit the line for couple years, although it never sticks
Still I cloud my brain with smoke, got no plans yet of getting fixed
You might just need some peace of mind
One day you'll see the light, I told you he who seeks will find
But it's not about the prize, it's more about the journey
Taken many L's this year, it really don't concern me
Bumpy road but it don't hurt me
I always said a milli before thirty
So my team around me really must be certi
If they snake me, please alert me
Don't do it just to impress, go stack your bread and invest
Some people need to jump on opportunities and think less
It's not about the finer things, although I do like diamond rings
Prioritise your passion
Then there'll come the day you find your wings

Just act as if there's no one there to watch
[Verse 2 - Artan]
Act like no one's there to watch so don't care if they care or not
It's not about the time we lost, it's all about the time we got
Grew up bussing True Religions, 90's and some Lyle & Scott
Shouldn't be bout your followers or peers if you would like to not
But that's the new reality, there's order in this anarchy
Our normal's their insanity
I'm bunning just to calm myself, my lungs must be so mad at me
I'm caught up in the cycle, hope it don't end up in a tragedy
I'm tryna up my salary but it's not about the money
It's all about getting rich so I can move somewhere sunny
I was laughing to the bank until my statement weren't so funny
It's all about the risk you take and then you get reward
But the risk is always something people think they can't afford
Then you're a sucker man, came up from the gutter man
Snaked so many times, nowadays I barely even trust a man
World is full of snakes and ladders, wish that they had told me
So don't say that I know you cause I barely even know me

Just act as if there's no one there to watch
[Verse 3 - Songer]
My people wind me up, man I just say I'm not about
I made a living off my talent, no promotion, word-of-mouth
One tiny thing will happen, I'm in swimming pools of doubt
Nowadays I understand, just give it time and I'll be out
If you get it then you get it, if you don't you won't regret it
Ain't no other way to spell it, please don't stress it if you're down
One thing about the world, it's guaranteed to spin around
So if you're anxious or you're stressed, give it time, crack a smile
All your comparisons are damaging
You don't compare Slovenia to Hammersmith
Or Morrisons to Amazon
Stop thinking of your peers as if they're challenging
You're in your own lane and you know it, why you panicking?
Find pleasure in your struggle, you can drop it like it's hot
Till you see expensive trainers, you can cop 'em like they're not
Happiness before the money, I should put that on a top
But the first attracts the second so I'm smiling with the gwop
