These are words of a broken man
Working a hopeless plan
Hoping the plan will work

Watching the candle burn
The hour hand turns
When will we have our turn

I wish you had a heart
Yeah


How desperate does somebody have to be to have you help him?
Since when has anyone got anywhere from acting selfish?
I stay alone at night wonder why I ain't rolling right

Snakes try convince me my friends are tryna control my life
That's a load of hype I chose to mic the stage and name Righteous
Write it on the page along with the date

I wouldn't say it's not a game
It's the biggest game that's full of snakes
And little fakes that get my face but nothing comes on dinner plates

So still I pray, still I stay down with the same pals that i've been from day
Big mistake tried to run didn't get away
Trick move especially after everything that we've been through

The world shares different views, big...
Window, bars, intro, instro, task
Why am I the one that gets the info last?

After all this... then I take a big o blast
Cause this no bar, listen


Searching for value happiness hurts
Kelsey what happened to her
Like so many of us trapped in the dirt

The passions of curse, we all say we had it the worst
Yeah you had it bad, least you ain't in the back of that hearse
That's when it's done, I reach for the speaker capture your love

We trapped in the slum, look what the manor has done to us
But has the undercut become another number
Stop judging us, I got love for everyone of ya

We denied that we can only advance
And those that think they can't are lost in their art
Mind lost in their heart, body lost in their mind

So go back to the start, back to the passion the past
You are not gonna find the man that you are
If you cower in the face of the challenge travel your path

I ain't tryna rap for a car or rap for a gun
Or rap for a gyal that's gonna max out my cards
See me, I rap for the man that hasn't got guns

Infact hasn't got anything that anything you spat in that bar
That's why I spat in your face cause you was flashing your papes
You see my mandem are real and your mandem are Drakes

Straight, in other word fakes
You think i'ma turn 8th of this game, keep your deal
You're too gay i'm too straight just to appeal to the women

I believe if you're real, they'll just feel what you're spitting
It's an evil world we live in, our children are in it
That's why your children are loose, that's why your children are missing

All you've got is dirty dishes and bills in the kitchen
It's real when you've seen it, I feel like i'm slipping up
Never dissing my...

Are you questioning am I real enough, maybe i've over-did it
Is it I ain't did enough?
I don't want my real fans to look at me in disgust and discuss about me like

"Why is he always tryna make a number one?" It's a must.
But this ain't changing me, I still have the same beliefs
I can scream free Palestine for my pride still pray for peace

Still burn the feds for the brutality they've spread over the world
Pakistan's an ocean, bodies in the brown water floating still nobody helps
I have to take a hold of myself cause right now I feel to bang my head against this flipping desk

They want my commercial side, trust me this ain't one of them
Sorry if I messed up, yo I just want your love again
Cause this is 'bout as real as i'ma get

You the ones that represent and will til there's nothing left
Once again never dissing my...
You the ones I can't forget, let me explain from start til end

When I ripped my first bar it wasn't after rep
Nah blood, I did it for expression
In the hope you can relate to my past and present

But when you haven't got a friend, mother and your father's left
All you've got is words, cardboard and a friggin' Parker pen
And the love you once had at the start, starts to end
Inside you die, fam i'm like how can I provide for my family or my mandem on some 9 til 5
That's why I try, with the one thing that I can do in this life of mine

And that is write these bars because our lives are hard
And this music is our light in the dark, i'm tryna shine
So forgive me if that's wrong but for my conscious listener, this is your song like
Some music we make for the shelves but this music dawg we make for ourselves
And this for you, from our hearts cause you know we mean it

We speak about your daily struggles cause we've lived and seen it
And that's why the mission is to act now
Axe realising that your life is real no acts wow
So while the UK's flying, i'ma jump on board
So for my avid listener, this is who I done this for


I don't wanna die without saying goodbye
So for this bar I will savour my past
