[English]

I ain't got a clue why this world keeps turning

But I wish it would stop and let me off right now

I've been down so long that I forgot my smile

Homicide 'cause suicide just not my style

I should rap about big guns and keys of coke

All my friends who never show up when I need 'em most

How I put my trust in you and you broke my heart

Cah you hate to see me win, you rather see me broke

They some sheeps in wolf's clothing, they say P's the goat

They say I'm evil but I'm really quite a decent bloke

I run through enough white, I can ski the slopes

I got guns for the beef and weed to smoke

I ain't perfect and I'm man enough to see my flaws

How can I be the goat when I got teeth and claws?

Jail house they still play me on the threes and fours

I used to hit them by myself till my feet were sore

I know trapping from the yard till they breached the door

I'm PP, what the **** I need a feature for?

I left school like what the **** I need a teacher for?

You can't teach me nothing that I ain't seen before

You can't teach me how to cut weight and bag by eye

You can't teach me how to grease up and shine my nine

You can't teach me how to stay down and ride my time

I can teach you 'bout life every time I rhyme

When I was fifteen, I think I had special needs

I had a .38 special, needed extra sweets

Listening to Mavado I'm so special

Think I was just lost like Gretel and Hansel

I've been gunning since Patrick Vieira and Sol Campbell

Before the road ting was a shamble

I look like I'm selling heroine in my Hermes sandals

I was up north with Jay Sav giving out samples, that's samples

Kill 'em with success, watch me lead by example

Killers, I pull up with a car full

I ain't never been slim but I'm shady like Marshall

How you bad mouth the king? You must be losing your marbles

I was playing round with poles when you was watching 'Hey Arnold'

You cardboard gangsters must think this is Marvel

You funny little characters ain't nothing but arseholes

Move Half O's, now you think that your narcos

Garbo's!

Ain't nobody gives two ****s

Who you shot who you stabbed

Cah these little things will lift you up

Soon as you get money, they try mix you up

Put you down, watch them try trip you up

**** with me

You don't wanna

**** with me

**** with me

You don't wanna

**** with me

**** with me

You don't wanna

**** with me

**** with me

You don't wanna

**** with me
