Artist Discography


Throughout the years, I've seen many smiles and many tears
and some how I learned to come to terms with my fears
as I'd sip beers, and puff spliffs with my peers,
there's nothing for going in, I'm all eyes and ears
all for the one, as long as one is in for all, 
I recall on times past just to see how I've evolved
I've been involved in shady shit but I relinquish, 
cos in this life a yo it's hard to distinguish good from bad
and situations turned ugly, I show no praise to fake gods up above me
I show my love see, to those who deserve it, 
that's like getting respect but only when you earn it
at 15 I started puffing cannabis sativa, 
but only now and then I couldn't dig any deeper
at 16 I'm just your average school leaver, 
no fucking job and no benefits either
so what I do? I hang all day with my crew, 
and all night too, puffing spliffs drinking brew
committing breakings and ex amount of drug taking, 
but yo, there's no cash profit to be making from selling
I'm telling the truth it's like this, 
the profits get smoked up quick or gets sniffed
at one seven discovered mushrooms and LSD, 
I'd trip for weeks rolling in crews 20 deep
street corners and woodlands, anywhere I could hang 
I would hang bang beats and keep it good man
cos if you got the shit then spark it, 
but when the police come it's hood up and disappear into the darkness
before 18 I calmed down a little, 
I was sticking more to just a smoke and little tipple
got myself a girl, I got myself a job, 
a means to an end though that's a problem not solved
cos the wages is shit, like the hours and the work
you ever felt like your life's cursed man it hurts
so 13 months later got the sack but didn't care, 
it was too monotonous I had to get out of there, 
now I'm 20 years old and going nowhere, 
so my woman's next to go but a yo I won't go there
cos sometimes all you need to get by is a girlie, 
and sometimes it's them who put you in your grave early
from being stressed out yo fuck that I want to stretch out, 
sip my rum and read my sets out
my mum she calls my jobless bum, 
but son, she knows just exactly where in hell I'm coming from
an alcoholic father who abused us and bruised us, 
so whatever happens now I know never to abuse trust
and be wary of those you trust mostly, 
keep your friends close and watch your enemies closely
who knows me? only a chosen few, 
yards my crew all see how we do
who really knows me? only a chosen few, 
yards my crew all see, check, that's how we do.
