Ten Excuses

[Verse 1]

One too many bad memories

And two many friends turn enemies

Three more sips of this Alize

And I think my thoughts might turn venomous

A four-wheel drive on my S-Line

I'm five figures in so I take time

Six more songs on a deadline

I gotta make this track then it's bedtime

I've been meaning to do it since yesterday

The anxiety's getting the best of me

Sittin' up worrying about ifs and buts, fabricated jeopardy

My nigga just got stabbed off a nigga that I known since I was on the roadside properly

Still the dust ain't settlin'

And the Alize's kickin' in

Seven signs of a soldier

Eight millimeters to the left

And it coulda been his jugular vein game over

Nine things I try not to remember

Ten bad guys in my nightmare

Ten reasons why I don't care

I've been dancing with the devil since 2Pac was alive

And I've still lost out here

[Chorus]

I've been countin'

I've been countin'

I've been countin' to ten

Just tryna, make excuses for the places I've been

And now I'm hard taking

Still, I'm paper chasin'

I've been dancin' with the devil my whole damn life

[Verse 2]

One more late night

Two many spectators in my life

All wearing 3D glasses

And watching as four women try ruin my life

Mum sister girl mistress

The mistress is my queen

I can't get enough of the queen's head

She got me running into the smokescreen

Just chasin' paper avoiding feds

'Cause I can't get away from the five-o

So I'm swerving, on the M6

And I'm picking up speed like a rhino

I can't see my destination

And nobody gave me an explanation

So I had a seven word conversation with a shrink

Then left 'cause I'm too impatient

Eight more phone numbers deleted

Nine women that I never wanted to be with

They call me a prick, said that I broken their heart

And I didn't wanna pick up the pieces, ha

But that's just life and it's not fair

The devil's always gonna be there

Ten more bad guys in my nightmare

Ten more reasons why I don't care

[Chorus]

I've been countin'

I've been countin'

I've been countin' to ten

Just tryna, make excuses for the places I've been

And now I'm hard taking

Still I'm paper chasin'

I've been dancin' with the devil my whole damn life

[Outro]

Whole damn life

Whole, whole damn life

Whole damn life

Whole, whole damn-

I've been dancing with the devil

Dancing with the devil

Time and time and time and time again

Whole damn life

Whole, whole damn life

Whole damn life

Whole, whole damn-

I've been dancing with the devil

Dancing with the devil

Time and time and time and time again
