Let's sleep
You say what's up
And I say up what
When most a these cats blow they life like snot
I got most of what I got from not having a lot
And gave most of what I got for a solitary shot
So I look to the sky and I beg God forgive me
Then I release these demons within me
So let me begin we
Lived life with roaches
And rats in a one bed council flat
As a matter of fact
Whenever I grab the mic and rap
I be speaking for my people on the corners and dat
So I speak with linguistic speeches
With a hope that it reaches
Those that vote and can quote from my thesis
I I know the powers within me
Why you wanna take it and bin me
Cos you see that I've bin me from the first day
That you seen me
Why you wanna f**k wid my dream B
Tell me what's up
I've been trying
I've been trying
I've been trying
I've been trying
I've been trying so hard
But they can't stop me
You can't stop me reaching for the top
Thought you want me to flop
And when they see me they be scheming
For the day that I rot
They probably hope I get popped
Or do a crime and get knocked but
It ain't gonna happen kid believe it or not
So I am not gonna stop
Till I reach where I'm reaching
Cos even if I'm wheezing I'm breathing
Mamma never raised no fool
So I'm keeping my cool
Use my brain as my weapon
And the mic as my tool
The words that I speak are razor sharp
Just to penetrate your brain skin flesh
And your heart
I try to reach parts none others can reach
I'm like that beer
I quench your thirst for knowledge
Thirst when I speak
It ain't about being the best
It's about having to stamina to go
When all the others take a rest
This music is a mission it ain't no contest
So as long as blood pump in my chest
You dun know I'm gonna
I've been trying
I've been trying
I've been trying
I've been trying so hard
But they can't stop me
How can I phrase this
Most of these rappers would sell
They whole soul just to make it on a play list
Then get played if they fit the bill of chatting
Murda murda murda kill kill kill
But time don't tand still
And the world keeps turning
Even as we get older we keep on learning
We keep the fire burning
Even when we feel like we fighting for nothing
We just keep on surging
Keep moving forward don't look back
Keep our mind on the future with an eye
On the past
Nothing lasts forever that saying is true
Like karma everything comes back
So watch what you do
And I been doing this for years
I had promises to make it
But alas I wasn' prepared
So now I sit teary eyed
All alone in my room
Hoping nobody can hear me cry
Until the day that I die I never want to wonder
What if and that's why I've got to try
Until the day that I die I never want to wonder
What if and that's why I've got to try
