[00:05.70]White fish on the coast of the Caribbean, my life is a film
[00:08.80]Hero and villain, I'm playin' both in the script
[00:10.80]Worthy of Spielberg or Christopher Nolan readin'
[00:12.70]The constant overachievin', I know
[00:14.50]I ain't as rich as them people with old money, but I didn't know money
[00:18.10]They mock me online for speakin' up on all of our issues
[00:20.70]And bein' vocal, the shit that I see on socials
[00:22.80]But how can I stay silent when, when
[00:25.50]I'm out in Barbados, white people mistreatin' locals
[00:29.60]The villa in Jamaica, but it's owned by the Chinese
[00:32.00]Head to the right bеach and they're chargin' us five еach
[00:34.70]They say the Caribbean paradise, like, why leave?
[00:37.20]But how can I be silent when there's blood on the pine trees?
[00:39.90]Most of us would sacrifice our soul for the right fees
[00:42.50]Before I find love, I'm just prayin' I find peace
[00:45.00]Before I find love, I'm just prayin' I find peace
[00:47.50]You know what I believe, I don't know if I handled it well
[00:50.60]It's fuck Coca-Cola, did I stop drinkin' Fanta as well?
[00:53.20]I could see the blood on the lyrics I write for myself
[00:55.90]I cried about slavery, then went to Dubai with my girl
[00:58.50]"Surely I ain't part of the problem", I lie to myself
[01:01.10]Jewels that my people die for are a sign of my wealth
[01:03.70]My work is a physical weight of my life and my health
[01:06.30]The last couple years, felt like I been inside on a shelf
[01:09.00]I just phoned Cench, and I said, "You inspired myself"
[01:11.70]I don't feel a spot of jealousy inside of myself
[01:14.40]But when I'm all alone, I won't lie, I question myself
[01:17.00]Am I self-destructive? Am I doin' the best for myself?
[01:19.60]I know I love music, but I question the rest of myself
[01:22.10]Like, why don't you post pictures? Or why don't you drop music?
[01:24.80]Or why not do somethin' but sittin' and stressin' yourself?
[01:27.40]Ten years I been in the game and I won't lie, it's gettin' difficult
[01:30.80]This shit used to be spiritual
[01:32.80]We don't need no commentators, we could leave that to the sports
[01:35.90]Just listen to the music, why do you need somebody's thoughts?
[01:38.90]And some of it constructive, but most of it is forced
[01:41.20]And why we countin' the numbers, how the music make you feel?
[01:44.10]I'm just bein' real
[01:45.50]
[01:51.40]White fish on the coast of the Caribbean, my life is a film
[01:54.10]Hero and villain, I'm playin' both in the script
[01:56.20]Worthy of Oscar and Hollywood nominations
[01:58.30]I'm throwin' money at women in different denominations and killin' the conversation
[02:02.20]All them people told me, "Keep grindin', be patient"
[02:05.00]It's weird bein' famous, tryna navigate the spaces
[02:07.50]Feel like a celebrity, but you ain't on the A-list
[02:10.20]And you never drop, so you ain't really on a playlist
[02:12.90]But your fans love you, you can see it on their faces
[02:15.60]America feels so close that you can taste it
[02:18.20]2017, was tryna make it to the ranges
[02:20.80]2025, I'm tryna make it to the Grainges
[02:23.40]How do I explain me and my soulmate are strangers
[02:26.00]That we've already met and I've known her for ages?
[02:28.70]How do I explain? Because I'm runnin' out of pages
[02:31.20]How do I explain South London and its dangers?
[02:33.90]Can't recall the last time that we was all together, but
[02:36.60]All I can remember, the Olympics was in Beijing
[02:39.40]Move to Dubai, that's for the taxes that they takin'
[02:41.90]Or move to Qatar, feel the breeze on the beach
[02:44.60]But how can I explain to my kids that it's fake wind?
[02:47.40]Free, but I'm broke, have me feelin' like I'm caged in
[02:50.10]How do I explain two pounds got you eight wings?
[02:52.50]How do I explain my opps lost, but we ain't win?
[02:55.10]Girls I'm around had surgery on their hips
[02:58.10]How do I explain that I love her the way she is?
[03:00.40]How do I explain my feelings on having kids?
[03:03.00]That it wasn't what it was, but it is what it is
[03:05.80]How do I explain my niggas are in the hood?
[03:08.40]And they don't ask for nothin' even though they know they could
[03:11.10]'Cause they rather trap, rob and get it on their own
[03:13.50]How do I explain these messages on my phone?
[03:16.10]I just got a call, my girl's sittin' in the car
[03:18.70]And it says "Serge", but Serge with us in the car
[03:21.40]I know I might sound like a villain from afar
[03:23.70]How do I explain that my mechanic is a chick?
[03:26.50]Or why she callin' me when I don't even own a whip because my licence is revoked?
[03:30.70]I mean, how do I explain that I don't wanna heal 'cause my identity is pain?
[03:34.60]How do I explain, I mean, how do I explain?
[03:37.30]I went and hit the streets because I didn't want a boss
[03:39.80]I ended up a worker, I was barely gettin' paid
[03:42.50]For someone that was two years above me in my age
[03:45.10]I didn't even find it strange, I mean, how do I explain?
[03:48.40]
[04:00.60]Fifty-two miles from Marseilles, I'm in Miraval
[04:03.10]Four years, seventeen days, I ain't been around
[04:05.70]I can't lie, it even shocks me that I'm still around
[04:08.30]I can't lie, it even shocks me how I'm livin' now
[04:10.90]Starin' at this Rachel Jones paintin', I'm sittin' down
[04:13.60]The last thing I drew was a weapon, I'm livin' wild
[04:16.30]Turned twenty-seven, but I feel like I'm still a child
[04:18.80]In this house out in Central London I can barely afford
[04:21.50]Six months sober and I feel like I'm Dave again
[04:24.10]Drinkin' all my pain and my sorrows away again
[04:26.60]I got withdrawal symptoms, but they happen at ATMs
[04:29.40]Next two years, I'll be lookin' at eighty M's
[04:32.00]Who's the best artist in the world? I'm sayin' Tems
[04:34.70]Maybe James Blake or Jim, on the day, depends
[04:37.10]Let's see who quits now we ain't gettin' paid again, yeah
[04:41.50]I'm just here drinkin' liquor by myself
[04:43.10]Is my music just becomin' a depiction of my wealth?
[04:45.70]Never trust a girl whose lock screen's a picture of herself, I had to learn that shit myself
[04:49.50]Now I'm sittin' by myself with no girl, like, shit, I really did this to myself
[04:53.50]Twenty-seven and I'm terrified of livin' by myself 'cause there's a kid inside myself I haven't healed
[04:58.70]
[04:59.30]And me and him debate each other
[05:00.70]I can't love myself, I'm made from two people that hate each other
[05:03.10]My parents couldn't even save each other, made each other unhappy
[05:06.40]Used to be excited by the block, but size doesn't matter
[05:09.40]You supplyin' it or not? Sling a shot, I could've really killed a giant with a rock
[05:13.40]But that's a life that I forgot, and my young boys are slidin' over what?
[05:16.80]I don't know 'cause I ain't spoke to him in time
[05:18.90]Been afraid of gettin' older, scared of bein' left behind
