I had to come off social media because it's fake Instead of spreading love, they're just spreading hate They forget I'm only human and I make mistakes I really started at the bottom, they should call me Drake I went from eating jail food and now I'm eating steak When I was hungry, bro, they never offered me a plate So I had to learn, if you want it, bro, you gotta take Especially when it's money that you wanna make I only had to keep a weapon 'cause it wasn't safе The real can relatе and free my brothers that ain't got a date Most of the time, they got girls that aren't gonna wait He came to jail when she was born, now she's turning eight Got him making cakes outta biscuits to celebrate Because they've got him boxed in like a heavyweight He can't eat, losing weight like a featherweight He smokes spice 'cause he says it makes him levitate Said it makes him feel numb, self-medicate Tryna find peace of mind, can't so he meditates Said he thought about death but he hesitates I just told him "Stay strong, bro, and never break" Remember waiting on remand, they never set a date Think I'm back to when I'm young, I never went on dates I hit road in stoleys with a set of plates I seen people getting shot at a steady rate I was standing in the Post Office tryna sell an eighth I'm from a place where it's slippery, get a set of skates I used to call 'em all my brothers, we was never mates I told my brother "Book a visit", I was never late It's my fault, I couldn't see they was a set of snakes 'Cause I'm the one that got shot so let's get it straight 'Cause I'm the one that grip metal like a set of brakes Went from living in a cell without a set of plates And now the gaff's like a castle with electric gates I'm like Hugh so I don't understand or get the hate I asked F why he smokes spice, he's numb from it He's tryna blank out the pain, tryna run from it I said "I know about the struggle 'cause I come from it" The evidence in courtrooms made his mum vomit Imagine if Wallace grabbed a shotgun and slumped Gromit I've gotta focus, can't be living in the past I get flashbacks from the faces I slashed They say "Never say never", good things never last But I'll make sure it does for all them times that they laughed I had a baby on the way, I can't lie, I felt gassed Ain't it crazy how time goes fast? So you better chase your dreams before it goes in a flash I just bought a new house and gave Baz my old gaff And said "The rent's been paid" 'cause he was living outta bags He used to be my brother, I did everything for Baz Same goes for the lads, ask P and ask Haz For my brothers, I'll do anything they ask, fuck the rats Just know that you're my brother if we shared the same pad And it doesn't even matter we don't share the same dad It's hard tryna tell you 'bout the life that I've had And sometimes I just wanna cry 'cause I'm sad But I should be feeling happy so it makes me feel bad I'm just tryna give my son all the things I never had It's time to be a man because I just become a dad And I just named him after me because that's my little lad Gotta do it for them times I couldn't pay for the cab For them days in the Ways when I was waving the flag When they used to skip a visit like a YouTube ad In juvies, tryna swap an FHM mag Gotta do it for them years that I wasted in cells Sleeping next to the toilet, nose covered 'cause it smells PTSD from waking up and hearing bells Basically on basic, couldn't even buy a gel You ever seen a man drip and I ain't talking YSL? Gotta watch where you be talking 'cause I heard they wire cells Fuck wishing on a well, they didn't pick me when I fell I'm on point, can't be slipping 'cause I heard they fire shells But this is God's plan, he helped me make it outta Hell
