Lyrics
[Verse 1] Picture the stubborn child Running wild, rebellious With nothing to rebel against Smart but his grades show no evidence of intelligence In class, all he ever passed was a spare pencil for friends His mother sent him to a church school There was no [?] But he was running from the reverend Year eight and still no sign of any development No, just the regular fights with [?] But this is where it all changed The last bell, for the day I'm walking to the bus stop with the school mates Slowly as always Even though we couldn't wait to leave Sometimes, they'll just be roaming on hallways [?] Dean, Daniel and Anthony [?] Just to name a few So you know he weren't a loner Anyway, he accidentally spat on someone's trainers The boy told him wipe it off But never knew he chose the wrong youngen to play with Because even though he's older This youngen was courageous and outrageous So, he had him on his arse like a sofa But he was brainless, thinking it was over Because he rose from the pavement And stabbed him in his shoulder The kid lived but any innocence he had left inside him Came out with the blood from the wound [Interlude] I know it's like the end of the year I'm reminiscing And my memory's just gone as far back as secondary school Get me? Ah [Verse 2] Picture a teenager off the rails Numerous court dates Regular mug shots, police reviewing his portraits It won't be long before he becomes a prisoner And most of his friends are in a situation similar From when you've been arrested Bunch of DNA signature is stored in a database You might think you got away With something that you did until it pops up at a later date Don't act like it's a minor when it's a biggie, Christopher He was a street robber slash car thief White and b shotter, living with his auntie Police dodger 140 BPM for an heartbeat Just ran around forever Warrants out for his arrest Going home is not an option with this amount of feds Often watching his house, just in case he returned But he never came around since he left His mother told him hand himself in and get it over with Wishing less and he finally was caught Because every time he was in court The prosecution spoke of it He won't return if you give him bail Put him on remand, his type deserves to live in jail And send him to a place where they give him hell Four months later, the game him three years And twelve months consecutive One judge, two sentences [Interlude] Wait it out G's like on some elephant shit right now Gotta remember, you get me? I started all of that Where we going? [Verse 3] Now picture the same teenager coming out as an adult Tight around his ankle, early release "welcome home", said his niggas when he returned to the streets He told them that he's found another path He's shown him a couple of paths And after what they heard, they agreed If a man has got the talent There ain't a reason on this planet From stopping to make it happen Many haven't Which made them take it further in deep When pirate radio was at its peak Twenty MCs on the SweatBox Fighting for the mic, but guess what? He became the Lennox of the scene In a short space of time And his debut was like someone else's best of You can see the transition in this man's mission And all he had was a plan and some ambition Pen, pad, backpack and a damn vision
