Malcolm, Wretch

Us niggas been playing catch up

They say we're animals, I play the black panther

Making capital, capitalising with my caps 'cause

I bet my last penny they don't wanna see my cash up

I see Zeon in the building looking black, cuz

Colin swinging in the building, that's a Batsa

I see the twins up in the building showing mad love

Making white money but my niggas selling black stuff

Said we never amount to nothing, that's what history said

Tryna rewrite the story but it lives in my head

Do you have to be a colour just to visit success?

If you had one choice, would you be a Kim or a West?

George or a Best? See how we think on the ends

We go from being locked out to both feet on the desk

We're soul survivors, my brothers are known survivors

All my brothers spit but my brother can sell saliva

We hustle for it, sometimes guess we struggle for it

You want a better grandson, I'll put my mother on it

She called me a wasteman, I'll put a buckle on it

You put your hand on my pot, you get a knuckle for it

You better take that as a caution

When kids was coming, I was thinking 'bout abortion

Cause I had no chips, not even a portion

And now both kids riding in my Porsch and

Yeah, straight up, so northern

Watch her kick it when I had to Diadora

But she religious, now I Christian Dior 'em

She's after three so it better be a foursome

But enough about that when I'm from broken streets

My sister, my childminder couldn't afford those fees

See, my mother opened doors with those corned beef keys

This is all we eat, like we had a corned beef treat

But in retrospective, this is all we need

Uncle Charlie hit the bottle, now they pour him grief

Had to get to 27 for my sweet 16

No dinner in seven days but they call me weak

Nah, strong like my nigga Malcolm

I tell my label that they better drop the album

No hit single, baby, tell me what's the outcome?

I could sell 6 words to 100,000

Yeah, don't let me Ministry of Sound me

You've got the balls, tell me when we playing rounders

Cause I'm strong like my nigga Malcolm

I could sell 6 words to 100,000
