I Rose from the shadow of the valley a death
I took one look at myself and realised my gift
I been struggling and fighting so long that
Even I didn't know where my life was going
Now Fast forward 10 years to my life today
You'll see a man on the mic that's living day by day
I'm just paving the way
I've been to rock bottom, now I've reached the top
Stood on my mountain, I Carved straight outta rock
Yeah, I got this rap shit locked
Yo, I been grafting non-stop
I Been in darkness, now I'm fully in the light
I've been left out in the cold, in the cool dead ah night
But I knew that this wasn't how it was gonna be
So, I sat back and waited patiently
Other Mc's be like ow no!
Danny G's come back with a new flow
What we gonna do we just don't know
I say collaborate record a promo
Wit more hits than Gary Barlow
More skills than Ronaldinho
We'll be making 10 tens the dough
Multi-Platinum albums and sold out shows
Years on the periphery plying my trade with fakes notes
Bars ah soap and shot'in ounces of coke
And way back then that really wasn't me
I was so far removed from the fella I wanted to be
Now I'm just breaking out yo, I'm cutting loose
And my necks no longer in no hangman's noose
Hah hah now I'm strong like Zeus ha hah
I've been to rock bottom now I reached the top
I'm stood on my mountain, I Carved straight outta rock
Yeah, I got this rap shit locked
Yo, I've been grafting non-stop
I Been in darkness, now I'm fully in the light
I've been left out in the cold, in the cool dead ah night
But I knew that this wasn't how it was gonna go
So, I sat back and just went with the flow
Other Mc's be like ow no!
Danny G's come back with a new flow
What we gonna do we just don't know
I say collaborate record a promo
Wit more hits than Gary Barlow
More skills than Ronaldinho
We'll be making 10 tens the dough
Multi-Platinum albums and sold out shows
My journeys been like a magic trick Pen and teller
I move forward like a Rolls Royce engine, rotating spitfire propeller
I constantly pull rabbits outta my hat wit no pressure
When people see me, they see a stand-up fella
Everything I visualise plays out to the letter
I'm like Ali in his prime only 'ding ding' better
And when I write my life story, I guarantee
It will be a number one best seller!
From walking train tracks, donning hospital slacks
Getting Liquid coshed wit my elbows bent up my back
You know I've been there and yes I've done that
And I ain't never, never, never going back
An now my futures looking bright and full of rich potential
Staying on the right side of the law is nothing less than essential
Stroke minimal, come critical!
Now when I'm on the mic I'm rolling lyrical syllables
Other Mc's be like ow no!
Danny G's come back with a new flow
What we gonna do, we just don't know
I say collaborate record a promo
Wit more hits than Gary Barlow
More skills than Ronaldinho
We'll be making 10 tens the dough
Multi-Platinum albums and sold out shows
