[Verse]
Old school, I used to flash buses
Old school, I used to rob Budgens
Old school, I used to rob mobiles
Please don't judge me, I never had nothing
Just a heart and a hope that being broke ain't gonna last
I never thought I'd make a living talking about my dead past
All my friends banged up and all my friends passed
They say "P you've had it harsh"
Harder than the bacon in the Marsh, I've gotta laugh
Cause tears won't bring back years
Nuff weed, nuff liquor, get a sip back here
Fucking with enough stress that'll push back hair
Old school, I had my burner in the bookbag
Old school, I pushed crack, tryna get fly
Little trackie, little trainers, I was good man
My generation turned the hood mad
Age of sixteen, I had my own scram
Young boy stressing like an old man
Old man who ain't got shit
You know the programme
Oldschool, I used to ride bird like bike
You know I earned my stripes
Acting like this shit was worth my life
And them washed up olders give the worst advice
Fuck that, just watch me get mine
Old school, when I was Vipes not P
Such a hard knock life
Check me watching New Jack City on repeat
Thinking I was Nino when the Carter never came home for a week
My lifestyle's halloween, got a mask and sweets for a neek
I never knew a life so cheap
Guess I just sow what I reap
I stepped out the house
I been jugging, I slept on the couch
See usually I'm in then I'm out
But I've got no chill when I'm out
Unless it's serious amounts
Dawg then I smile like there's grills in my mouth
Dawg I still fuck with them killers from South
I still fuck with them killers in ends
See, that's family, I can't pick my friends
The struggle, you can't comprehend
I reload and reload again
I beat this dots, I possess with intent
Cause I'm not content, I'm not content
Shit I'm in the streets
Nuttin but the trap in these beats
I ain't been to sleep all week
In the studio chasing my dream
And I feel to put it all on pause
I feel to put it all on pause
Man my dawg's got bricks on fleek
And I've got these chicks on me
And I love the way that she love me
But I told this money I'm coming
You know I'm a man of my word
Look how I made something from nothing
You know I'm a man with a bird
Turn your fave rapper Weezy, man I'll stun him
If he knows me, he knows I ain't bluffing
If he knows, he knows I ain't afraid of nothing
Fell in love with this money, I lust it
Got my man moving funny, don't trust it
See today's mad, it could be my last
Cause where I'm from shit happens fast
I've been up, I've been flat on my arse
Don't compare me to these rappers, dunno if they're gonna last
I don't think we're in the same league
I don't think we're in the same class
I don't think you read the rules right
I bet you wish that you could restart
I just want a house on the hill
A house on the hill real far
I don't do road, I do me
Still couldn't give a fuck who you are
Just give me my luxury car
And my tux and awards
And go tell my mum I'm a star
And I kicked in the door
And I left it ajar for the real
