Conversations in the mirror had to tell myself congratulations Upon reflection Even though you stopped selling class a and never got to graduation You became world class Good thing you studied the greats In that great school of hard knocks Where every day's a new exam so you examinated yourself Put yourself to the test and detested the old you That was overdue due diligence Yeah Grew up around division but now we do dividends More money, more problems gotta laugh Mo Gilligan Been broke as a joke, I just made a killing I'm innocent My guilty pleasure is pain I worked out that's the only way to get gains I could've move a muscle all my issues outweighed the solutions I got a grip and I pushed through it I rep for the set From you set targets you're a target in the ends Started going blind, all I'd ever hear about was death Chose to rehearse when I saw that casket in a Benz Yeah I bent the rules and now I'm on the straight and narrow Please don't ever rule me out again I wear my heart on my sleeve I'm just tryna start a trend I wish that man would follow suit But they think I'm overdressed Stress just made me stronger I remember leaving the label and labelling myself as a flop I'm my own worst critic but I was critically wrong God save the streets, really saved me Saviour complex had me sacrificing it all Lion of the tribe of Judah 'cause I'm prideful Kept the faith even when they prayed on my downfall I saw this second coming coming and I put that on the Bible Yeah There really weren't no church in the wild. So, I chose to do this shit religiously. And last year we dropped the album of the year. And it was a decade in the making, but I just hope it lasts a lifetime Have you ever seen your life on the life, hanging by a thread? We were puppets in real life How can I get up on my brudda when that's one of mine? My brudda I got sick and tired of being ill-advised Flew straight now I'm migrating for the winter time Bro was on the wing for flying birds now he can't even fly Shit His license conditions are killing his drive I'm tryna steer him in the right direction he drifts at times He said, "Av, I just need a break I'm broken inside." God gave you a break from the moment you opened your eyes For heaven's sake How the hell are you not pumped when I just checked your pulse and it's fine? I've been on job putting work on over time Yeah Over time I've realised When you look at everything through real eyes You notice all the real lies Lies like my dreams won't materialise 2024 I'm on 2020 and more The vision's clear, and it's even clearer than before Last time I said this me and my collective went and collected awards Yeah Oh, shit, another nomination Saying that sky is the limit is a limitation Love seeing my name amongst a group of stars constellation Yeah And if it's any consolation Me, myself and I's a trinity that got lost in the matrix But I flipped the script from the minute I started narrating They were tryna end me for their entertainment Yeah
