1
00:00:05,700 --> 00:00:08,700
White fish on the coast of the
Caribbean, my life is a film
2
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:10,700
Hero and villain, I'm playin'
both in the script
3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:12,600
Worthy of Spielberg or Christopher
Nolan readin'
4
00:00:12,700 --> 00:00:14,400
The constant overachievin', I know
5
00:00:14,500 --> 00:00:18,000
I ain't as rich as them people with
old money, but I didn't know money
6
00:00:18,100 --> 00:00:20,600
They mock me online for speakin'
up on all of our issues
7
00:00:20,700 --> 00:00:22,700
And bein' vocal, the shit
that I see on socials
8
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,400
But how can I stay silent when, when
9
00:00:25,500 --> 00:00:29,500
I'm out in Barbados, white
people mistreatin' locals
10
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,900
The villa in Jamaica, but it's
owned by the Chinese
11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,600
Head to the right bеach and they're
chargin' us five еach
12
00:00:34,700 --> 00:00:37,100
They say the Caribbean paradise,
like, why leave?
13
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,800
But how can I be silent when there's
blood on the pine trees?
14
00:00:39,900 --> 00:00:42,400
Most of us would sacrifice our
soul for the right fees
15
00:00:42,500 --> 00:00:44,900
Before I find love, I'm just
prayin' I find peace
16
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,400
Before I find love, I'm just
prayin' I find peace
17
00:00:47,500 --> 00:00:50,500
You know what I believe, I don't
know if I handled it well
18
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,100
It's fuck Coca-Cola, did I stop
drinkin' Fanta as well?
19
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,800
I could see the blood on the
lyrics I write for myself
20
00:00:55,900 --> 00:00:58,400
I cried about slavery, then
went to Dubai with my girl
21
00:00:58,500 --> 00:01:01,000
"Surely I ain't part of the
problem", I lie to myself
22
00:01:01,100 --> 00:01:03,600
Jewels that my people die for
are a sign of my wealth
23
00:01:03,700 --> 00:01:06,200
My work is a physical weight
of my life and my health
24
00:01:06,300 --> 00:01:08,900
The last couple years, felt like
I been inside on a shelf
25
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,600
I just phoned Cench, and I said,
"You inspired myself"
26
00:01:11,700 --> 00:01:14,300
I don't feel a spot of jealousy
inside of myself
27
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,900
But when I'm all alone, I won't
lie, I question myself
28
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,500
Am I self-destructive? Am I
doin' the best for myself?
29
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,000
I know I love music, but I question
the rest of myself
30
00:01:22,100 --> 00:01:24,700
Like, why don't you post pictures?
Or why don't you drop music?
31
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,300
Or why not do somethin' but sittin'
and stressin' yourself?
32
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,700
Ten years I been in the game and I
won't lie, it's gettin' difficult
33
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,700
This shit used to be spiritual
34
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,800
We don't need no commentators, we
could leave that to the sports
35
00:01:35,900 --> 00:01:38,800
Just listen to the music, why do
you need somebody's thoughts?
36
00:01:38,900 --> 00:01:41,100
And some of it constructive,
but most of it is forced
37
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,000
And why we countin' the numbers,
how the music make you feel?
38
00:01:44,100 --> 00:01:45,500
I'm just bein' real
39
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,000
White fish on the coast of the
Caribbean, my life is a film
40
00:01:54,100 --> 00:01:56,100
Hero and villain, I'm playin'
both in the script
41
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,200
Worthy of Oscar and Hollywood
nominations
42
00:01:58,300 --> 00:02:02,100
I'm throwin' money at women in
different denominations and
killin' the conversation
43
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,900
All them people told me, "Keep
grindin', be patient"
44
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,400
It's weird bein' famous, tryna
navigate the spaces
45
00:02:07,500 --> 00:02:10,100
Feel like a celebrity, but
you ain't on the A-list
46
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,800
And you never drop, so you ain't
really on a playlist
47
00:02:12,900 --> 00:02:15,500
But your fans love you, you
can see it on their faces
48
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,100
America feels so close
that you can taste it
49
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,700
2017, was tryna make it to the ranges
50
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,300
2025, I'm tryna make
it to the Grainges
51
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,900
How do I explain me and my
soulmate are strangers
52
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,600
That we've already met and
I've known her for ages?
53
00:02:28,700 --> 00:02:31,100
How do I explain? Because
I'm runnin' out of pages
54
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,800
How do I explain South London
and its dangers?
55
00:02:33,900 --> 00:02:36,500
Can't recall the last time that
we was all together, but
56
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,300
All I can remember, the Olympics
was in Beijing
57
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,800
Move to Dubai, that's for the
taxes that they takin'
58
00:02:41,900 --> 00:02:44,500
Or move to Qatar, feel the
breeze on the beach
59
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,300
But how can I explain to my
kids that it's fake wind?
60
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,000
Free, but I'm broke, have me
feelin' like I'm caged in
61
00:02:50,100 --> 00:02:52,400
How do I explain two pounds
got you eight wings?
62
00:02:52,500 --> 00:02:55,000
How do I explain my opps
lost, but we ain't win?
63
00:02:55,100 --> 00:02:58,000
Girls I'm around had surgery
on their hips
64
00:02:58,100 --> 00:03:00,300
How do I explain that I love
her the way she is?
65
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,900
How do I explain my feelings
on having kids?
66
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,700
That it wasn't what it was,
but it is what it is
67
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,300
How do I explain my niggas
are in the hood?
68
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,000
And they don't ask for nothin' even
though they know they could
69
00:03:11,100 --> 00:03:13,400
'Cause they rather trap, rob
and get it on their own
70
00:03:13,500 --> 00:03:16,000
How do I explain these
messages on my phone?
71
00:03:16,100 --> 00:03:18,600
I just got a call, my girl's
sittin' in the car
72
00:03:18,700 --> 00:03:21,300
And it says "Serge", but Serge
with us in the car
73
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,600
I know I might sound like
a villain from afar
74
00:03:23,700 --> 00:03:26,400
How do I explain that my
mechanic is a chick?
75
00:03:26,500 --> 00:03:30,600
Or why she callin' me when I
don't even own a whip because
my licence is revoked?
76
00:03:30,700 --> 00:03:34,500
I mean, how do I explain that
I don't wanna heal 'cause
my identity is pain?
77
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,200
How do I explain, I mean,
how do I explain?
78
00:03:37,300 --> 00:03:39,700
I went and hit the streets because
I didn't want a boss
79
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,400
I ended up a worker, I was
barely gettin' paid
80
00:03:42,500 --> 00:03:45,000
For someone that was two years
above me in my age
81
00:03:45,100 --> 00:03:48,400
I didn't even find it strange,
I mean, how do I explain?
82
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,000
Fifty-two miles from Marseilles,
I'm in Miraval
83
00:04:03,100 --> 00:04:05,600
Four years, seventeen days,
I ain't been around
84
00:04:05,700 --> 00:04:08,200
I can't lie, it even shocks
me that I'm still around
85
00:04:08,300 --> 00:04:10,800
I can't lie, it even shocks
me how I'm livin' now
86
00:04:10,900 --> 00:04:13,500
Starin' at this Rachel Jones
paintin', I'm sittin' down
87
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,200
The last thing I drew was a
weapon, I'm livin' wild
88
00:04:16,300 --> 00:04:18,700
Turned twenty-seven, but I feel
like I'm still a child
89
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,400
In this house out in Central
London I can barely afford
90
00:04:21,500 --> 00:04:24,000
Six months sober and I feel
like I'm Dave again
91
00:04:24,100 --> 00:04:26,500
Drinkin' all my pain and
my sorrows away again
92
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,300
I got withdrawal symptoms,
but they happen at ATMs
93
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,900
Next two years, I'll be
lookin' at eighty M's
94
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,600
Who's the best artist in the
world? I'm sayin' Tems
95
00:04:34,700 --> 00:04:37,000
Maybe James Blake or Jim,
on the day, depends
96
00:04:37,100 --> 00:04:41,400
Let's see who quits now we ain't
gettin' paid again, yeah
97
00:04:41,500 --> 00:04:43,000
I'm just here drinkin'
liquor by myself
98
00:04:43,100 --> 00:04:45,600
Is my music just becomin' a
depiction of my wealth?
99
00:04:45,700 --> 00:04:49,400
Never trust a girl whose lock screen's
a picture of herself, I
had to learn that shit myself
100
00:04:49,500 --> 00:04:53,400
Now I'm sittin' by myself with
no girl, like, shit, I really
did this to myself
101
00:04:53,500 --> 00:04:58,700
Twenty-seven and I'm terrified of livin'
by myself 'cause there's a kid
inside myself I haven't healed
102
00:04:59,300 --> 00:05:00,600
And me and him debate each other
103
00:05:00,700 --> 00:05:03,000
I can't love myself, I'm made from
two people that hate each other
104
00:05:03,100 --> 00:05:06,300
My parents couldn't even save each
other, made each other unhappy
105
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,300
Used to be excited by the block,
but size doesn't matter
106
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,300
You supplyin' it or not? Sling
a shot, I could've really
killed a giant with a rock
107
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,700
But that's a life that I forgot,
and my young boys
are slidin' over what?
108
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,800
I don't know 'cause I ain't
spoke to him in time
109
00:05:18,900 --> 00:05:21,100
