I spent my twenty-fourth birthday with the people I love For the diamonds, gotta see through the dust God, I know I ain't easy to love I just wish that Abdulla could've seen what we've done I retired my mum, moved out with my friends That's where the problems start, that it ain't where it ends How many single moms sacrifice it all for their kids? Stop workin', feel they haven't got a reason to live I believe that God fed the five thousand with the bread and the fish 'Cah I seen mommy do some similar things It can help you or harm you Depends on how you usin' the rope How are we in the wrong for supplyin' drugs? The government's the reason that we use 'em to cope I made friends with a flame, and I'm used to the smoke, yeah When we never had a thing, we still split in half It's the people with the least that got the biggest hearts One of a kind, true love, it ain't just somethin' you find A good girl ain't just somethin' you find I get along with gold diggers, and that's somethin' I find But it's probably 'cah now I got more money than time My friends say they worry 'bout me, I just tell 'em, "I'm fine" I took a look in the mirror, and now I wish I was blind Is she the love of my life or in love with the life? Backstabber, see the blood on your knife My mum covered me in blood, but it was comin' from Christ Disaronno on the rocks, I pour a double with ice I take trips to wind down, I ain't readin' at night The only time I touch books when I'm seekin' a flight Can you hear me? Let me speak in the mic God, I know I ain't easy to like, but still I'm seekin' the light I spent a quarter million on renovatin' my house And couldn't even live in it 'cause they was stakin' it out Tracker in my car, felt like double-o-seven Whipped the Aston out of park, I knew his energy was dark Livin' out the Corinthia, didn't even have a yard But that's where I met my teacher, and I learned to play guitar Guess it's written in the stars, life comes at you fast Squeeze the Urus in a convoy of cars We got it on us, you don't even gotta ask Don't trouble us, fame comes quicker than money does Salmon pink suit, I'm like De Niro in Casino Life gave me lemons, I gave you a branzino, and I seasoned it Me and Drake, we're in a private room reasonin' He's been always there when I needed him Listen, I'm the reason why your dream girls all wiggle their asses Drink wine, but don't finish their glasses, snap pics in Bahamas Sniper, do it in silence, I ain't in all the drama In this town, I got the crown, but I ain't been in the plaza Fuckin' crosses, teams on conspiracy charges Gardens laid out in astro', I ain't dealin' with grasses Fuck a snitch, got my guys remanded Life of an artist, pretty women, triple-A passes Slim thick, skin slick, I mean, it's comin' like it's oil she bath in See the harvest, see the seeds I planted There's a drought in the ends, I'm in Cali' with a ting I'll end up postin' a pack like I was snappin' in the gym Check my records, you can bang it on the wing I lost friends, but it's my innocence I miss I guess ignorance is bliss I ain't braggin', only rap about a fraction of my sins My young Gs don't count a stabbin' if it happened in his limbs The world is my fuckin' office, book her a trip to the tropics I'm feelin' philanthropic, nigga, that's a different topic The GMT and EST, they're gonna think I'm foreign Different time zones, and that's the way I gotta pick my watches Streatham Vale, but you could say I live in Gotham Way I take the Birkin and I kill a crocket, you can see the little locket Bro, it ain't no wonder why she finna top it Look, I ain't a striker, I'm a CAM becah' it's in the pockets Tell 'em to miss me Never signed a deal, you niggas hatin' on history, and I took the ends with me That eight-figure check wasn't enough to convince me But that's the only time I turned my back on a sixteen Life is a game, you can't play it in split-screen Mm-mm God hasn't given me a test I couldn't handle yet I don't ever bother tryna match it when the scammers flex Give her somethin' money can't buy, and that's the challenge next Ambidex', problems comin' at me from the right and left Love is dead, enough gyal are doin' the most If you're talkin' engagement, it's probably to do with a post I'm at that age where everybody's gettin' married or havin' kids Feel like it happened quick Commitments, hella pressure, there's enough of that as it is Can't make the same mistakes that my daddy did 'Cah I know what the damage did How you raise a life, and you haven't lived? But what's livin'? Is it clubbin' and bangin' chicks or plannin' trips? Or some sort of pleasure I haven't managed to factor in? I guess I'll let you know when the stats are in Your friends get busy, the cracks start showin' And that's when the distance in between us start growin' We all want it, I just wanted it more I think this money's exposed my flaws The clean hearted find it harder for sure See, most people that are wealthy, they ain't good in their core You either rich off of talent or exploitin' the poor I'm twenty-four and an adult in the eyes of the law But still a baby in the eyes of the Lord You see the Bible's my sword, and the word is my shield Stormz prayed for me, I cried It sharpened my steel, but that's my brother for real Me and mummy saw the world, man, she couldn't believe it And to this day, that's my biggest achievement Did twenty-seven countries in under nine months So when the Most High says my time's up, just tell Him that I tried And I ain't never switched sides, I did it for you and I Sixteen 'til I die, it's
