Pretty Lyrics

My mum didn’t have no job

So she had to do with a little old shop

Selling ice block and ice water 7up

Some lollipop some time choco pops

Straight from school then am back into the shop

Sell a couple hundred bucks put it in the yellow box

I was learning the rules of the dreams that i got

She was giving me the tools for when the big drop

Then i hold on to the hip hop

Saying i ain’t letting go see the problems i got

So we straight to the studio then i go cooking

Whole different type of beat in a real kitchen

Worried for the homies what they gon eat

Cause my mama used to say thats how a lady gon be

Then i climb okada okota to ojota

I gotta go to yaba to squat with Leila

Stress all of this stress

Look at this pimples Look at this mess

Maine fuck what i look like

Am look for the me that don’t look like the one without the good life

You still wanna look real pretty real pretty

Put some make up on like am on tv on tv

Used to wanna look real pretty real pretty

Put some make up on like am on tv

How happy you would be if you ever had a dream

Come with ease so you never loose sleep

Like when my mama had me driving in the car

Then came the rain then it poured

She said i looked like i was ready for the world

But i guess i didn’t realise that it would be this hard

All i ever think about is how i go far

Buy my mum a new car maybe range rover

Wake up no make ups

Still broke but i never say am gon stop

Go back in the booth tell Gray Jones

Turn up the snare in my head phones

Thats that line from that Eminem song

That i had to memorize before i wrote rhymes

Before i knew i could survive in this life time

You still wanna look real pretty real pretty

Put some make up on like am on tv on tv

Used to wanna look real pretty real pretty

Put some make up on like am on tv

In a little way i consider myself a story teller

I think thats the first thing that i ever did, growing up as a child

Story telling i was... was always writing it was always important for me to tell a story

Urged me to be a writer so with music and with rap am always tryna do that well

And em as a writer i think that am fearless in some ways, am not just any writer

As a human being as well i think am careless in some ways

And i think that that tells a lot in the kind of decisions that i make with my art with my work

And em am really really independent of everybody else's opinions

I like to hear what people have to say but at the end of the day am always with my gut feelings

I think thats how i stay alive listening to my instincts
