by RentAnAdviser.com
00:00:05.700 --> 00:00:08.700
White fish on the coast of the
Caribbean, my life is a film
00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:10.700
Hero and villain, I'm playin'
both in the script
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:12.600
Worthy of Spielberg or Christopher
Nolan readin'
00:00:12.700 --> 00:00:14.400
The constant overachievin', I know
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
00:00:18.100 --> 00:00:20.600
They mock me online for speakin'
up on all of our issues
00:00:20.700 --> 00:00:22.700
And bein' vocal, the shit
that I see on socials
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:25.400
But how can I stay silent when, when
00:00:25.500 --> 00:00:29.500
I'm out in Barbados, white
people mistreatin' locals
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:31.900
The villa in Jamaica, but it's
owned by the Chinese
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:34.600
Head to the right bеach and they're
chargin' us five еach
00:00:34.700 --> 00:00:37.100
They say the Caribbean paradise,
like, why leave?
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:39.800
But how can I be silent when there's
blood on the pine trees?
00:00:39.900 --> 00:00:42.400
Most of us would sacrifice our
soul for the right fees
00:00:42.500 --> 00:00:44.900
Before I find love, I'm just
prayin' I find peace
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:47.400
Before I find love, I'm just
prayin' I find peace
00:00:47.500 --> 00:00:50.500
You know what I believe, I don't
know if I handled it well
00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:53.100
It's fuck Coca-Cola, did I stop
drinkin' Fanta as well?
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:55.800
I could see the blood on the
lyrics I write for myself
00:00:55.900 --> 00:00:58.400
I cried about slavery, then
went to Dubai with my girl
00:00:58.500 --> 00:01:01.000
"Surely I ain't part of the
problem", I lie to myself
00:01:01.100 --> 00:01:03.600
Jewels that my people die for
are a sign of my wealth
00:01:03.700 --> 00:01:06.200
My work is a physical weight
of my life and my health
00:01:06.300 --> 00:01:08.900
The last couple years, felt like
I been inside on a shelf
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:11.600
I just phoned Cench, and I said,
"You inspired myself"
00:01:11.700 --> 00:01:14.300
I don't feel a spot of jealousy
inside of myself
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:16.900
But when I'm all alone, I won't
lie, I question myself
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.500
Am I self-destructive? Am I
doin' the best for myself?
00:01:19.600 --> 00:01:22.000
I know I love music, but I question
the rest of myself
00:01:22.100 --> 00:01:24.700
Like, why don't you post pictures?
Or why don't you drop music?
00:01:24.800 --> 00:01:27.300
Or why not do somethin' but sittin'
and stressin' yourself?
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:30.700
Ten years I been in the game and I
won't lie, it's gettin' difficult
00:01:30.800 --> 00:01:32.700
This shit used to be spiritual
00:01:32.800 --> 00:01:35.800
We don't need no commentators, we
could leave that to the sports
00:01:35.900 --> 00:01:38.800
Just listen to the music, why do
you need somebody's thoughts?
00:01:38.900 --> 00:01:41.100
And some of it constructive,
but most of it is forced
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:44.000
And why we countin' the numbers,
how the music make you feel?
00:01:44.100 --> 00:01:45.500
I'm just bein' real
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:54.000
White fish on the coast of the
Caribbean, my life is a film
00:01:54.100 --> 00:01:56.100
Hero and villain, I'm playin'
both in the script
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:58.200
Worthy of Oscar and Hollywood
nominations
00:01:58.300 --> 00:02:02.100
I'm throwin' money at women in
different denominations and
killin' the conversation
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:04.900
All them people told me, "Keep
grindin', be patient"
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:07.400
It's weird bein' famous, tryna
navigate the spaces
00:02:07.500 --> 00:02:10.100
Feel like a celebrity, but
you ain't on the A-list
00:02:10.200 --> 00:02:12.800
And you never drop, so you ain't
really on a playlist
00:02:12.900 --> 00:02:15.500
But your fans love you, you
can see it on their faces
00:02:15.600 --> 00:02:18.100
America feels so close
that you can taste it
00:02:18.200 --> 00:02:20.700
2017, was tryna make it to the ranges
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:23.300
2025, I'm tryna make
it to the Grainges
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:25.900
How do I explain me and my
soulmate are strangers
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:28.600
That we've already met and
I've known her for ages?
00:02:28.700 --> 00:02:31.100
How do I explain? Because
I'm runnin' out of pages
00:02:31.200 --> 00:02:33.800
How do I explain South London
and its dangers?
00:02:33.900 --> 00:02:36.500
Can't recall the last time that
we was all together, but
00:02:36.600 --> 00:02:39.300
All I can remember, the Olympics
was in Beijing
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:41.800
Move to Dubai, that's for the
taxes that they takin'
00:02:41.900 --> 00:02:44.500
Or move to Qatar, feel the
breeze on the beach
00:02:44.600 --> 00:02:47.300
But how can I explain to my
kids that it's fake wind?
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:50.000
Free, but I'm broke, have me
feelin' like I'm caged in
00:02:50.100 --> 00:02:52.400
How do I explain two pounds
got you eight wings?
00:02:52.500 --> 00:02:55.000
How do I explain my opps
lost, but we ain't win?
00:02:55.100 --> 00:02:58.000
Girls I'm around had surgery
on their hips
00:02:58.100 --> 00:03:00.300
How do I explain that I love
her the way she is?
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:02.900
How do I explain my feelings
on having kids?
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:05.700
That it wasn't what it was,
but it is what it is
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:08.300
How do I explain my niggas
are in the hood?
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:11.000
And they don't ask for nothin' even
though they know they could
00:03:11.100 --> 00:03:13.400
'Cause they rather trap, rob
and get it on their own
00:03:13.500 --> 00:03:16.000
How do I explain these
messages on my phone?
00:03:16.100 --> 00:03:18.600
I just got a call, my girl's
sittin' in the car
00:03:18.700 --> 00:03:21.300
And it says "Serge", but Serge
with us in the car
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:23.600
I know I might sound like
a villain from afar
00:03:23.700 --> 00:03:26.400
How do I explain that my
mechanic is a chick?
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?
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?
00:03:34.600 --> 00:03:37.200
How do I explain, I mean,
how do I explain?
00:03:37.300 --> 00:03:39.700
I went and hit the streets because
I didn't want a boss
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:42.400
I ended up a worker, I was
barely gettin' paid
00:03:42.500 --> 00:03:45.000
For someone that was two years
above me in my age
00:03:45.100 --> 00:03:48.400
I didn't even find it strange,
I mean, how do I explain?
00:04:00.600 --> 00:04:03.000
Fifty-two miles from Marseilles,
I'm in Miraval
00:04:03.100 --> 00:04:05.600
Four years, seventeen days,
I ain't been around
00:04:05.700 --> 00:04:08.200
I can't lie, it even shocks
me that I'm still around
00:04:08.300 --> 00:04:10.800
I can't lie, it even shocks
me how I'm livin' now
00:04:10.900 --> 00:04:13.500
Starin' at this Rachel Jones
paintin', I'm sittin' down
00:04:13.600 --> 00:04:16.200
The last thing I drew was a
weapon, I'm livin' wild
00:04:16.300 --> 00:04:18.700
Turned twenty-seven, but I feel
like I'm still a child
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:21.400
In this house out in Central
London I can barely afford
00:04:21.500 --> 00:04:24.000
Six months sober and I feel
like I'm Dave again
00:04:24.100 --> 00:04:26.500
Drinkin' all my pain and
my sorrows away again
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:29.300
I got withdrawal symptoms,
but they happen at ATMs
00:04:29.400 --> 00:04:31.900
Next two years, I'll be
lookin' at eighty M's
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:34.600
Who's the best artist in the
world? I'm sayin' Tems
00:04:34.700 --> 00:04:37.000
Maybe James Blake or Jim,
on the day, depends
00:04:37.100 --> 00:04:41.400
Let's see who quits now we ain't
gettin' paid again, yeah
00:04:41.500 --> 00:04:43.000
I'm just here drinkin'
liquor by myself
00:04:43.100 --> 00:04:45.600
Is my music just becomin' a
depiction of my wealth?
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
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
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
00:04:59.300 --> 00:05:00.600
And me and him debate each other
00:05:00.700 --> 00:05:03.000
I can't love myself, I'm made from
two people that hate each other
00:05:03.100 --> 00:05:06.300
My parents couldn't even save each
other, made each other unhappy
00:05:06.400 --> 00:05:09.300
Used to be excited by the block,
but size doesn't matter
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
00:05:13.400 --> 00:05:16.700
But that's a life that I forgot,
and my young boys
are slidin' over what?
00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:18.800
I don't know 'cause I ain't
