I remember when |
|
I was twelve years old |
|
No worries in my brain with a pound in my pocket |
|
And a chest full of smoke |
|
I remember all the chordies we drove |
|
We used to play football all day |
|
And use jumpers for goalposts |
|
And throw egg yolks at windows |
|
To wind up the old folks |
|
Started learning about the birds and the bees |
|
So there's birds from my class |
|
On their knees behind trees |
|
My favorite |
|
MC was Sharkey |
|
MajorWay before |
|
I hit one double |
|
O threeTemptation, |
|
Kiss 100 or |
|
FlavaGet off from school and take |
|
Ninety two point three |
|
But let's skip forward in time |
|
Seven years down the line |
|
And it seems the spotlights on me |
|
Sometimes |
|
I still wish |
|
That I was still twelve or thirteen |
|
Life can pass you buy |
|
Just watch how fast it flies1989's when |
|
I started mine |
|
Now I'm like what happened to the time? |
|
Life can pass you buy |
|
Just watch how fast it flies1989's when |
|
I started mine |
|
Now I'm like what happened to the time?15, bag of weed, bag of beers in the park |
|
Duckin' out from |
|
Feds in the dark |
|
Then we appear with grass |
|
Stains up and down my legs and arms |
|
And with a fresh beer clenched in my palm |
|
My bars are different class |
|
I've been rolling with |
|
Dogz and Glamour |
|
And Shotz for a year |
|
I've been steppin' up fast |
|
I guess I got around in the bits |
|
I was selling bags of bud |
|
And Tales from the |
|
CryptI met |
|
Ghetts when |
|
I was 14, lost touch |
|
By 16, I'd linked up with |
|
Ghetts again |
|
Rolling with |
|
The Movement |
|
And started doing sets for them |
|
Mercston, |
|
Scorcher, |
|
Unique and |
|
Wretch and 'em2006, |
|
I was 17 when |
|
I finished my first solo |
|
CDBut this time there's an album in the midst |
|
Life can pass you buy |
|
Just watch how fast it flies1989's when |
|
I started mine |
|
Now I'm like what happened to the time? |
|
Life can pass you buy |
|
Just watch how fast it flies1989's when |
|
I started mine |
|
Now I'm like what happened to the time? |
|
By the time |
|
I hit 17I was the coldest younger on the scene |
|
With bars you never heard and flow you never seen |
|
Before I come around it was cock it and shoot |
|
MC's being cocky and rude |
|
Then I moved to some deep concepts in my tunes |
|
Monitor my brain waves |
|
Tell me if |
|
I'm crazed but |
|
I think the games changed |
|
And MC's are opening doors in the same ways |
|
As I did when |
|
I was a kid, |
|
I reach radio waves |
|
And now I'm paving the way for a fatal display |
|
Might blaze in a haze till |
|
I'm dazedThen wave a grenade in your face17 with bars that |
|
I regulate and generate pace |
|
I'm only scared of who my enemies face |
|
Life can pass you buy |
|
Just watch how fast it flies1989's when |
|
I started mine |
|
Now I'm like what happened to the time? |
|
Life can pass you buy |
|
Just watch how fast it flies1989's when |
|
I started mine |
|
Now I'm like what happened to the time?19 |
|
Showing strength in the booth |
|
Now it's time to prove what |
|
Devlin can do |
|
From the very first time |
|
I ever crept on a tune |
|
I've immensely improved, the attendance is due |
|
Original spitter, not remnants of you |
|
Swear I can see success in my view |
|
Crazy what letters in a sentence can do' |
|
Cause my lyrics are the |
|
Only thing sending me through |
|
Kanye called me a gangster rapper |
|
I'm not a gangster rapper |
|
Devs, I just spit it real |
|
You're an |
|
MC like C difficile |
|
I look skinny 'cause |
|
I keep on missing meals |
|
I'll get cold like you know how frigid feels |
|
No children, sticking them rigid still |
|
I guess my life's fucked up |
|
But I'm only nineteen |
|
And I've got a lot of living still |
|
Life can pass you buy |
|
Just watch how fast it flies1989's when |
|
I started mine |
|
Now I'm like what happened to the time? |
|
Life can pass you buy |
|
Just watch how fast it flies1989's when |
|
I started mine |
|
Now I'm like what happened to the time? |
