Right now I'm feeling like I'm trapped in
Between this concrete and this rap ting
Rap brings the love but the concrete brings the stacks in
I'd rather do a show than bring the packs in
But when I checked the profit margins though
The figures isn't matching
And then you've got the risk factor
I'm chatting shit cah even when I'm doing shows I'm taking risks
So it don't matter
Put a hook on a tune or hook a dude?
Either way it don't matter, it's guaranteed to be a headbanger
I don't wanna spend another summer in the slammer
I ain't tryna be a has-been like MC Hammer
I ain't stopping till I'm dropping and that's word to Mama
There's something special about the kid and I swear to Grandma
Blowing trees to release my anger
Cah in the space of six months I lost three relatives to cancer
And I ain't asking for no answers, I already know them
I'm just focused on the plan, sticking to the programme
I'm a champion in this ting
I know that when I'm gone they're gonna label me a king
I wouldn't play the game if I didn't plan to win
Regardless if my chances looking slim
I can rap it in the booth or I can wrap it up in cling
It's kinda hard doing both, wish I would've had a twin
Got me caught up in the mix, selling dope in the trap
But I'm dope when I rap, it's kinda hard being Skrapz
What do you think you'd do in my position?
You can't make the decision
Just to leave it all behind and make that major transition
Got me thinking that when Mummy spoke I should've listened
She said "if you don't find a craft you're gonna end up going prison"
Maybe she was right, but she can feel the truth when I look her in the eyes and say "it's gonna be alright"
Cah even just the thought of not succeeding in this life
Got me waking up in sweats in the middle of the night
My future's looking bright, I terrorise the mic
But I still be shotting sales in the middle of the night
People telling me I'm crazy, I tell 'em "people pay me"
I thought not, so I beg you make the taunts stop
Cause you ain't with me when it's time to pay bills
And my daughters need shoes and my belly needs meals
So miss me with the good advice
Cah to tell the truth the grind will never stop bruv
Even when I've got it nice
I'm a champion in this ting
I know that when I'm gone they're gonna label me a king
I wouldn't play the game if I didn't plan to win
Regardless if my chances looking slim
I can rap it in the booth or I can wrap it up in cling
It's kinda hard doing both, wish I would've had a twin
Got me caught up in the mix, selling dope in the trap
But I'm dope when I rap, it's kinda hard being Skrapz
