Chapters Lyrics

It's that 80s baby, spent the 90s with a Nike trim

Used to want the trainers with the lights in

We made it through millennium bugs

The rise of the net

From hearing Britney and Blue to Grime on a set

I've seen it change but never change enough

Watching as my age grows

Always those that wanna stay the same as the same ol'

People never give up the chains until the chain's broke

We're all the same but still we ain't though

If we ever bust it up

Know I'll bring my brothers like the Wayans bros

I ain't trying suffer like some Jane Doe

Listen, this was written like the Nas classic

The past happened

I ain't dwelling if I cant have it

I craft habits

Made a promise to myself from a teen

Don't leave your guard passive

Always know to go for your dreams or see your heart shattered

I'm in my 30s, can't be acting like it's Neverland

But I'm sounding better than I ever have

Fuck it, this is me, can't let the chapter close

I'm sitting thinking how the acts evolved

And how my brother be the actual GOAT

Probably never get to see the ceiling or be people that they back the most

Back to back unil the plaque is gold

Writing in my room again

Yet to have my morning zoot

So if they call me unapproved I'm probably rude to them

'Cause though I'm calm, you hit the switch and it can get erratic

Used to hit the club and hit the stuff that left my liver damaged

1995 you'd see me lazing in my Spliffy jacket

Mumzy had to hustle had to bric-a-brac it

Handing out the hand-me-downs oversized

Always felt this pain I couldn't vocalise

This life is scary like the older guy in Poltergeist

But I'm holding on and holding hope up into overtime

Hardly had a rest but half these heads don't even mention us

Ain't where you start or where you are, it's where you're ending up

90s kid, I was a shy head

Started spitting bars when I was 8, I didn't write them

All courtesy of blaze till I was 9, 10

I don't remember much of life then

Mumzy working 2 jobs to provide when I just a baby

She's living proof that I can trust a lady

Led by example so I can't be lazy

No-one's gonna come and save me

See I knew from young this world was fucking crazy

Fucking crazy

Yeah

Grew up in Nacton across the road from the Nicholls

Around the corner from Fordy

It wasn't known for the brittle

It was petty crime but was evolving fast

Went from stolen cars to my closest holding a pistol

It's nuts

Started as kids, we couldn't get away

Inherited beef had me rolling with some pepper spray

Never blades 'cause in the moment it can get insane

Every day thankful that I ain't left to regret my ways

I used to wish I'd blown when I was younger

But I'm happy that I didn't

I know that I'd be fucked up

I just needed to live

Needed to cry

Needed to fix

Needed to fly

That's hard to cope with on the come up

Plus I hate the world

I don't want the stress

The older I get

The more I see fame is hell

Keep it and pay me well

Should've been a mask rapper

Too real to really buss anyway

Suh it nuh matter

Even though my face still looking proper young

I was playing snake up on my Nokia

Recorded a tape when mumzy got me one for Christmas

Way before I touched some mixers

Just a couple brothers born and bred in Ips

It never stopped us though

Had to climb the ladder

Got us working with our idols and our inspirations

S'been amazing

Scrolling through the moments that I tried to capture

I just pray this ain't my final chapter

It's good to see you man out here bruv

Still looking exactly the same, ain't aged

Sound better than ever, you get me?

There's a lot of people that just stop bro

You've kept it consistent throughout the years

And bro, I can't lie to you

You're sounding better than ever bro

All I can tell man

Just don't fucking stop, darg
