Lil Bro

[Intro]

(That's Chucks)

[Verse 1: Central Cee & Lil Bro]

Lil Bro, the roads ain’t for you

What you wanna be when you're older?

Cee, I wanna be a drug dealer

Go country and build a phone up

Lil bro, you must be jokin'

How many man in the can turned culprit?

School ain’t for me

Yeah, I hear that, but hold it, just don't lose focus

"You must have a dream or somethin'?"

He just shrugged his shoulders

Mumsy's broke, you know this

So I soon go O for the olders

Like Cench, put man on

I wanna get P's like you, I'm involved

I don't mind flyin' on—

You’re a young boy, everything glitter ain’t gold

For this life I lived, the chance is slim to make it rich

Slept in the bando days on end, and it weren't the way to live

Shortcuts where? Take the stairs, no handouts, no takin’ lifts

Pigs bag bro with pebs, KMT like Drake and Giggs

[Chorus: Central Cee & Lil Bro]

Look, bro, I know how it gets

Everyone eatin', but you ain't ate

The truth is nobody will feed you in the jungle

But you gotta get fed

I'm hittin’ the road instead

I'm not gonna go get a job, that's dead

I thought the roads was cool as a young boy

It's not though, I got mislead

Look, bro, I know how it gets

Everyone eatin', but you ain't ate

The truth is nobody will feed you in the jungle

But you gotta get fed

I'm hittin' the road instead

I'm not gonna go get a job, that's dead

Uh, I thought the roads was cool as a young boy

It's not though, I got mislead

[Verse 2: Central Cee & Lil Bro]

If a man hops out of the ride with a knife

Same size as your thigh, gotta fear for your life

The yutes ain't thinking twice, the violence here gets normalised

A lot of the time, it's only rap, but I gotta talk sometimes

I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the trap, I just can't glorify it

You know what, Cench? The fuck do you mean?

Fuck your motivational speech

I see you shinin' out of the ends

When's the last time you been in the streets?

You don't even know, I got my bros

And when it gets peak, they back my beef

And just 'cause you made it and got famous

That don't mean that it could be me

Bro, watch your tone, you're movin' mad

Drop that pride when you chat to man

Fuck the street, might frame you in

I'll tell you straight and say how it is

I'll tell you once, won't say it again

So use your brain and take me in

Same man that will back your beef

Same ones that sends statements in

I've seen that shit, shit go left, they'll leave man quick

Get some bread, they'll start to scheme

Go to jail, they'll beat man's chick

I hope this shit this make you reconsider the lifestyle that you chose to live

Huh, trust, we've all got options, it's London City, not Compton

Let's be honest, you could've went college

I get that your mumsy's an alcoholic

It's been ten years that your pops ain't hollered

But trust me, dog, that's no excuse

Best use that hunger to your advantage

I know that you're smart, but you disregard it

I know that you feel like you're grown already

But don't be silly, your life just started

[Chorus: Central Cee & Lil Bro]

Look, bro, I know how it gets

Everyone eatin', but you ain't ate

The truth is nobody will feed you in the jungle

But you gotta get fed

I'm hittin' the road instead

I'm not gonna go get a job, that's dead

I thought the roads was cool as a young boy

It's not though, I got mislead

Look, bro, I know how it gets

Everyone eatin', but you ain't ate

The truth is nobody will feed you in the jungle

But you gotta get fed

I'm hittin' the road instead

I'm not gonna go get a job, that's dead

Uh, I thought the roads was cool as a young boy

It's not though, I got mislead
