Lessons

[Intro]

(Ayy, Wonda, you're an alien)

[Verse 1: K-Trap]

Intuition strong, man, I know it's promised

Finish line, shit, the haters tryna throw me off it

They just see the name and think they know the topic

Girls, money, guns, and a load of boxes

Cah it's been that and soon be what it used to be

When I get these critics to get used to me

They only see what they wanna see, man, they're half blind

Collect the bag, already tell you I should half mine

Chattin' to my little nigga by the stairs

Sat there and stared, told him listen with his ears

No competition with your peers, you can get it all togеther

Do it that way, you're gettin' it forеver

Clever, you gotta be the brains

Walk into the trap, now you gotta go escape

You can't always get it right, first, you gotta know mistakes

Puttin' it in drive but you're gonna press the brakes, wait

Money train and it came

I'm not to blame, you was late

I ain't alright, man, I'm great

And they don't wanna risk, give but they'll take

And they ain't ready, reason why they're tellin' you to wait

But you keep on going, you can't interfere with fate

I know we can't wait for that person with a cape

Neighbourhood heroes really came from the estates

[Verse 2: Wretch 32]

Product of my environment, I'm in a maze

I thought nothing was bigger than my estate

That's why I looked to the olders to pave the way

My mummy raised me, they never gave her a raise

I done seen both sides of the coin

Like I've seen both sides of the point

Success and the consequence

Heat gave him confidence

They both lost life, both sides of the toy

Now the lifer say he wants to get his life back

Although the family can't ever get the time back

Different mood, different view

I'm only pissed cah I've seen it through my eyes, fam

Now I'm standin' on the stage

I'm just thankful and happy I became

Cah I seen man, rattin' in the race

The irony is seeing man standing there in cuffs

Cah he got caught grabbin' on a chain

When my heating was the oven

Handwashing all my jeans cah my mother let my cousin do the plumbing

When you see somethin' doesn't mean you need somethin'

Had that different type of hunger, we didn't even eat nothin'

Fool, I had to sell a gram

Now if you really get the picture, you can profit off the 'Gram

On the low, had to elevate to really over stand that

When you got the bottle, you know how to dodge the can
