Almost But Not Quite

[Jaykae]

Yeah I'm ready

Oh Yeah

It's leaping season

Man I'm either too fucking busy

Or too busy fucking

Every day I'm taking over a new city stuntin'

Go and ask somebody who's really running our city

Who matters yeah and who really doesn't

What a pity

Grow with me

Pull your socks up, take a stroll with me

Something misty you can see the hole in me

Buying bottles of this shit like ? no Diddy

Nah drink won't take my problems away

But my thoughts overload and my conscious'll play

Someones in trouble then it's gotta be Jay

Do you like my new flows yeah I got them today

A vet now til 12 I was an up-comer

Got a feeling that it's gonna be a good summer

So much things on the hoods wish list

So I'm gonna make sure it's gonna be a good Christmas

Hard times June we deserve this shit

One way traffic can't swerve this shit

Grindin' for time had to earn this shit

Takes years of silence to be heard this quick

Straight up

And if you're feelin' froggy release another anthem (leap)

They mustn't be talking money cos they talk to me an' I never seem to understand em

(Don't ask big man questions)

They won't let a man live his life without stress the Police I can't stand em (can't stand em blud)

And the worst thing is these hoes ain't loyal but neither are the mandem

Sad but true, bet you're screwing if that was you

Them guys that'll lie and tell you black was blue (what boys?)

Tell em catch up

Now I'm not fuckin' round this time it's clear

Sick of talkin' 'bout this time next year

You know me fam I get shit crackin'

Just take a look at me this time next year

I'm nearly 23 you feel the energy

Josh was my little bro you seen the chemistry

Feels like I got a whole leap of enemies

Now you're way back there if you been ahead of me

Shout out Tom you hear the melody (trust me)

So nah nah don't give up for anythin'

Live yours fuck everythin'

Yeah thats life with a Y

An eye for an eye

Three deaths in one year I ask why to the sky

The motorbike crashed but I ride til I die

Don't think I'm bad I'm just tryna' get by

I smoke til I'm sober

Know I'm a soldier

Dealt with my shit

I never moaned to an older

Still looking over my shoulder

From a stone to a boulder like snow but I'm colder

Yeah fuck it man I'm great

And if your friend's on the wrong path put 'em on a straight

I used to want her now I got it on a plate

Is it cos I'm Jaykae or cos I lost a bit of weight?

Oh Yeah

[Dapz]

They never expected this

They never expected this

For real

Listening to 2Real and things don't seem too real

Cos you died on my Mum's birthday

I saw her face and cried thinking about Alison's pain

The golden boy you played a major part in helping Brum shut down

If you was around Froggy would not I ain't forgot

RIP Depz the boss

Cah we miss you bro

You're not here but you're here in spirit

Thank god Jaykae found the spirit to put down the spirits

Yeah that's the spirit

It's more than a lyric

This is a diary to remind me how I've been living

Writing but it was already written so don't tell me about spitting

You know like that

Find yourself in a stakeout, big ego

Confidence is frightening living that life with a Y

Private guy in the public eye

Not too social can't be social sights cah man have got a social life

Plus theres only so much

This could be us or niggas be like I can like

DSAW been taking advice from Kyle and CS to read more

Read between the lines now I'm not around some man you saw me round before

When the helpers helping out

Who's helping the helper out?

I decided to help myself and now I make a bit of change

Cah things have changed from back in the day

I'm climbing ladders

Go Small Heath and reason with braddas

Tryna follow [?] but same time follow my dream

And find that balance

Shake man's hand with my right hand only

Roll with my right hand man only

You know the pattern

Dad told me this was bound to happen

Cos son you have too much talent

Now I feel like Floyd when he had to fight Rickie Hatton

I had a serious passion for when I used to listen to Serious and Passion

Now me and my mandem are in fashion

Fans rate us so they pay attention

Gal rate us so they crave attention

I feel man feeling a way I can sense the tension

I know but choose not gas em

They want me on a Scrappy Doo vibe let me have 'em let me have 'em

Killin' this shit one love Deppy clap em

Still can't fathom what's happened it's mad

It made me realise I'm a dad

Tryna be grateful even though things aren't great all the time

It's make or break only a few survive

West Brom's where I reside

I do this for my ting for my fam (don't say a word)

Almost but not quite

Got promoted to top flight

It's leaping season, soon see me and my legion taking over your region

I'm tryna move right and put negativity aside

Do a good deed I'm nice

I've got a voice of course I'm gonna speak

Tell 'em if they feel froggy then

Are you mad?

Yo
