My 24th Birthday

I spent my 24th birthday with the people I love

For the diamonds, gotta see through the dust

God, I know I ain't easy to love

I just wish that Abdulla could've seen what we done

I retired my mum, moved out with my friends

That's where the problems start, that it ain't where it ends

How many single mums sacrifice it all for their kids?

Stopped workin’, feel they haven't got a reason to live

I believe that God fed the five thousand with the bread and the fish

'Cah I seen Mummy do some similar things

It can help you or harm you

Depends on how you usin' the rope

How are we in the wrong for supplyin' drugs?

The government's the reason that we use 'em to cope

I made friends with a flame, and I'm used to the smoke, yeah

When we never had a thing, we still split in half

It's the people with the least that got the biggest hearts

One of a kind, true love, it ain't just somethin' you find

A good girl, it ain't just somethin' you find

I get along with gold diggers, and that's somethin' I find

But it's probably 'cah now I got more money than time

My friends say they worry 'bout me, I just tell 'em, I'm fine

I took a look in the mirror, and now I wish I was blind

Is she the love of my life or in love with the life?

Backstabber, see the blood on your knife

My mum covered me in blood, but it was comin' from Christ

Disaronno on the rocks, I pour a double with ice

I take trips to wind down, I ain't readin' at night

The only time I touch books when I'm seekin' a flight

Can you hear me? Let me speak in the mic

God, I know I ain't easy to like, but still I'm seekin' the light

I spent a quarter million on renovatin' my house

And couldn't even live in it 'cause they was stakin' it out

Tracker in my car, felt like 007

Whipped the Aston out of park, I knew his energy was dark

Livin' out the Carinthia, didn't even have a yard

But that's where I met my teacher, and I learned to play guitar

Guess it's written in the stars, life comes at you fast

Squeeze the Urus in a convoy of cars

We got it on us, you ain’t even gotta ask

Don't trouble us, fame comes quicker than money does

Salmon pink suit, I'm like De Niro in Casino

Life gave me lemons, I gave you a branzino, and I seasoned it

Me and Drake, we're in a private room, reasonin'

He’s been always there when I needed him

Listen, I'm the reason why your dream girls all wiggle their asses

Drink wine, but don't finish their glasses, snap pics in Bahamas

Sniper, do it in silence, I ain't in all the drama

In this town I got the crown, but I ain't been in a plaza

Fuckin' crosses, teams on conspiracy charges

Gardens laid out in astro', I ain't dealin' with grasses

Fuck a snitch, got my guys remanded

Life of an artist, pretty women, triple-A passes

Slim thick, skin slick, I mean it's comin' like it's oil she bathe in

See the harvest, see the seeds I planted

There's a drought in the ends, I'm in Cali' with a ting

I'll end up postin' a pack like I was snappin' in the gym

Check my records, you can bang it on the wing

I lost friends, but it's my innocence I miss

I guess ignorance is bliss

I ain't braggin', only rap about a fraction of my sins

My young Gs don't count a stabbin' if it happened in his limbs

The world is my fuckin' office, book her a trip to the tropics

I'm feelin' philanthropic, nigga, that's a different topic

The GMT and EST, they're gonna think I'm foreign

Different timezones and that's the way I gotta pick my watches

Streatham Ville, but you could say I live in Gotham

Way I take the Birkin and I kill a crocket, you can see the little locket

Bro, it ain't no wonder why she finna top it

Look, I ain't a striker, I'm a cam’ becah’ it's in the pockets

Tell 'em to miss me

Never signed a deal, you niggas hatin' on history, and I took the ends with me

That eight-figure check wasn't enough to convince me

But that's the only time I turned my back on a sixteen

Life is a game, you can't play it in split-screen

Mm-mm

God hasn't given me a test I couldn't handle yet

I don't ever bother tryna match it when the scammers flex

Give us somethin' money can't buy, and that's the challenge next
