Born me 1985
10 months later my little bro arrived
raised in a place where its do to survive
my mommy shopped food to put honey in our hive
i can see the hunger in her eyes
i can see that something wasnt right
she taught me how to rapish up my first ticket
she told me watch my back and b smart with it
an i wish that i could take you there
to a place that my brain takes me everyday
i can smile but it still wont take the pain away
i could try but remain in this lonley place
from a child ive been raised in a soldier way
mommy didnt ramp she called us the krays
no jokes she showed us the ways

Maverick Sabre:
Ive been living this daily
with no peace no day dreams to save me
get high cause i want to survive
wish i could draw back the hands of time. X2

K-KOKE:
Mommy couldn't cope so she turned to drugs
but auntie Tina give us hope she was there for us
i was raised on the roads wheres its rare to trust
now my hearts been broke now im scared to love
an i might seem closed until i open up
feel the weight of the struggle Ive been holding up
been betrayed by a cuddle and a heartless hug
i drink pain from a bottle till my heart feels numb
cause i came from the bottom of this bottle of rum
aint changed from a young un Ive been stuck in the slums
grey days up in London aint no summer for us
there trying to take aid they want my brother in cuffs
and i just came home this ay nothing to ask
like the court don't know how a suffer does
dis is poor home grown but moms love was enough
so i want to give her more than shes giving to us.

i don't want to feel this
i don't want to seek this
i don't want to hurt no more
i don't want to be this
i don't want to feed this
i don't need to fight this war
cause im trying to be somebody
there's nothing i fear that can cloud it
I'm trying to be somebody
Need to get on up
Need to get on up now..
