Potter Payper
Went To War - 10048162
[Verse 1 - Marnz Malone]
Look, look, I tied my size nines and went to war
I love my n***a risk it, I bought him a blicky for his 24th
Twenty three inside my clip this 30 shot is 7 short
I paid 6 G's for a glee with an extension cord
Babes my advice is tell your boyfriend to be sensible
I call this one an octopus, because it's got tentacles
That's hands in the air like supporters at a festival
Five star general, I earned my stripes
I ate from a burger van the same night I burnt a guy
Seen a n***a turn to Christ, they gave his boy an early night
Yo I'm from the city where it's sticky like the servery rice
Yeah bro you heard me right got one more than 35
That's Three Six like Potter's label
Don't make the smile fool you I am not an angel
I was on that corner like a post stamp
Now I can put carrots in the face like a snowman
She's putting on a big show, I bet she lets me choke slam her
Wish that I could swap all my lifers for these goofballs
They'd rather live a lie because the truth's sore
It's mad to think I just came off a quarter milli group call
It's funny 'cause they think I'm hot and I ain't even lukewarm
Used to be my dawg until you told the jakes what you saw
Bro thinks he's Wesley Snipes out rolling two swords
I'm 24 carat gold look at me in true form
I'm 24 carat gold look at me in true form
[Verse 2 - Potter Payper]
I can't tell you 'bout life, this is my perception
God knows if I'm going in the right direction
Perfect timing, you can't time perfection
My time is precious and time will test them
If you're scoring and you're praying for a slight deflection
I don't think cocaine was the right investment
Spending all my money like I might impress them
'Cause when I be myself it just don't interest them
I remember crown court at like 10AM
Fourteen when the judge gave me time for breakfast
I can't reflect, how can I connect?
I can't even see myself in my own reflection
There's probably a marker that I'm overstepping
Cah a man ain't a man until he goes and gets it
And that's gotta come from who you broke the bread with
I'm still the same P you could've sold the Z with
When you keep it real you'd get most the leverage
But I've seen it go left with the closest bredrins
Co-defendants broke oaths not to mention
You swore oaths not to mention
All I did was get money, buddy what's the tension?
Either I'm winning or I'm suffering from loss prevention
I was fifteen when I first read Redemption
Then I came home banging like Red Redemption
I still need a house with a big extension
And a Glock with a switch and a big extension
And all the money in the world, what a sick invention
Makes me hate everybody, I just sit here venting
It's "fuck everybody" if I'm contemplating
Overcompensating for their constant hating
'Cause I can't be defeated but it gets deflating
Cah my whole life I've been underestimated
So i had to stay with it with the extra baitness
'Til they sent me up north where the screws are racist
Come home and sell packs on a daily basis
Sleeping in the bando like I hope they raid this
'Cause I burnt all my bridges and used all my favours
I'm burying rappers they need excavating
I need less comparing, less debating
You never hit them on foot 'til your legs was aching
You just came in the game, started extra faking
I'm an entertainer but I never entertain it
I'm so focused on the art and the picture painting
I forgot for a second we was broke for ages
Degraded, stripped naked and segregated
Isolated, I'm white gold, look at all the ice I'm skating
In my true form look at all the lives I'm changing
