memba we was so close
so close
back in the day
we was joined at the hip then
these times its different
we socially distant
used to rock the same shoes
same tunes
we was just kids then
lifted the lid and we totally different
now we socially distant
breathing barely on beta blockers
should be wary
iguodala
i'm james the greater
from outta nowhere
like mother mary
In zaragoza
vagabond no imprimatur
jarra can’t have much to offer
am fragonard my artists coffer
is the hand of god
like maradona
going méxico 86
i came to play and just take the piss
praying one day it’ll make me rich
i must have blazed about 80 spliffs today
back on my shady shit
only am tryna get paid for it
singing to sakes
i’ve been a patient of my patience
my favour is paper thin
i got the flavour and silver skins
fear the day I repay my sins
telling the pastor I hate this shit
waking up next to this bracey chick
asking me whether it’s racist if
she call a white a girl a pasty bitch
5 in the morning explaining shit
i’m like well why-not-just-call-her-a-mmmm
you-know-what
why not-not
even-say-shit
did we have sex
is this your crib
send me a text?
i gotta dip
i gotta errrrrrr
i gotta dip
cos I am nacho mannnn
trick!
jadon sancho ran quick
she could never understand is
never getting reprimanded
doing that freely
full face value
didn’t you see me coming
getting all feely
singing c breezy
when a g seen u come in
like yeah yeah yeah 3x
say you got a spare bed yeah that’s nice
like a don’t know she was moving slyly
letting her ride me
cos she still like me
but I know that the women ain’t like me
i be on the ice
i don’t even wanna play no more
cech in the net
and the goals aint the same no more
don’t have anything to say no more
unashamed of the traits she hates
why I gonna cortana with a Halo 4
no saint ain’t got dedication
cos am not awake baby say no more
my circles are not your circles
and I don’t think you’re in the loop
i can tell from the words that you use
the clothes that you choose
and the things that you do
all herbal
hair dyed purple
dogmatical dramatics
just your vernal and botanical way
you champion change
yet you’re happy to vindicate me all the same
