From long time Guv done stack rhymes
If you never had a clue, better fact find
And yeah I got a crew, no gang signs
But I’m praying the crew never capsize
Whatever the weather, I’m on that grind
No trapline, just a rap guy
I gotta get it together, it’s been a mad time
Ain’t been the same since my Dad died
I been anti, yeah I got struggles too
Caught off guard, heart cut in two
I’m in the car with his CD, running tunes
He told me he loved me, I love him too
I don’t really know what to do
My heart broke that day in the hospital
God puts to use what he puts us through
But it’s hard sometimes tryna trust the route
I’m a man of the house, tryna hold it down
My brain’s a mess when I stroll around
I wanna try my best, but I don’t know how
Dad’s in heaven, I wanna make him proud
I wanna raise the roof, I wanna shake the ground
But I can’t forget that he ain’t around
I’m skipping sleep cos my thoughts are loud
But I’m digging deep, tryna sort it out
Ups, I’ve had downs
I’ve been stuck, I’ve come round
I don’t just thank God in the good times
Blud I thank him when it goes south
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
Them days might go great
But if Friday, Saturday, Sunday ain’t
Just know that I still thank Him everyday
Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday
Just know that I still thank Him everyday
Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday
Just know that I still thank Him everyday
[Verse 2]:
(Where were you?)
Where were you when I crashed my car?
I was 21, driving home from Hackney
Black whip riding the back streets
Music blasting, probably a rap beat
Starting snowing, it was a mad ting
Car skidded and driven into a fat tree
Badly, Cat D, family
Where were you when I had no peace
I had no self esteem and I had no dreams
Raised in the belly of the beast
Doors were shut, we never had no keys
Try and step steady in the east
Cars couldn’t get them on a lease
Everybody beefs
Drugs they sell ’em on the streets, family
Where were you when I lost my faith?
I lost my self belief and I lost my way
I woke up, couldn’t stop my pain
Tears I cried, they washed my face
It’s like they locked that cage
Couldn’t stop that rain
Came pouring down and it blocked my lane (family)
Family, where were you when I –
Ups, I’ve had downs
I’ve been stuck, I’ve come round
I don’t just thank God in the good times
Blud I thank him when it goes south
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
Them days might go great
But if Friday, Saturday, Sunday ain’t
Just know that I still thank Him everyday
Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday
Just know that I still thank Him everyday
Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday
Just know that I still thank Him everyday
