Let′s do it

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*ck wid my dreams, B

Tell me what's up

I've been trying

I′ve been trying

I′ve, I've been trying

I′ve, 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 ain′t gonna stop till I reach where I′m reaching

Cos even if I'm wheezing I′m breathing

An' Mama never raised no fool, so I′m keeping my cool

Use my brain as my weapon and the mic as my tool

The words 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 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's 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, I've been trying

I′ve, I've been trying

I′ve been trying

I've been trying so hard

But they can't stop me

I′ve been trying

I′ve been trying

I've, I′ve been trying

I've, 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 nowadays would sell they whole soul

To make it on the play list

And then get played if you fit the bill of chatting murda murda murda, kill kill kill

But time don't stand still, the world keeps turning

Even as we get older we keep on learning

We keep the fire burning

And when we feel like we are fighting for nothing

We just keep on surging

Keep moving forward

Don′t look back

Keep our mind on the future, one eye on the past

But nothing lasts forever that saying is true

It′s like Karma things come back so watch what you do

And I been doing this for years

I had promises to make it

But alas I wasn't prepared

So 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

That′s why I've got to try
