[Verse] Am When I was sky high not many of you wanted to see me fall Am7 I had one big ego, but I was mentally small E I thought I was the man, telling everybody what to do E7 When really they were just using me including my skrilla too Am So look who's laughing now because it definitely ain't me Am7 Due to all my fuckery my agent had to lower my fee E With all the money I owe out, I could own me another key E7 Instead I sold the house I lived in 'cause I was working for free

^AmMy friends were looking at me for help when I couldn't help myself Am7 And labelled me a no one when the label put me on it's shelf E I weren't eating properly and they could see I wasn't well E7 Still all they seemed to care about was my wealth ^AmFuck my health Am7 See the Tinnitus thing I have, has always put me through hell E Too busy looking out for others and not thinking about myself E7 I'm rich and paranoid, who else is tryna' fuck with my girl? Am Who else is making up lies for another story to sell? Am7 Yo, my BM sold like two stories on me for like 30K E My TM was doing dirty on me like almost every day E7 Right under my nose, I would have never have known Am So thank fuck that I'm paranoid and I went through his phone Am7 Fuck I see a text to his wife E They nearly ruined my life E7 Thinking how's all this information getting printed overnight? Am Am No lie, no lie Am7 I know it's in black and white E And even though it's in The Times it's still a big bag of shite! E7 I blame myself for being ignorant and opening up Am But when you're stuck in this industry, you don't know who to trust Am7 I'm screaming where is the love? E 'Cause on the flip side, on my kid's life E7 In the streets I would've opened you up Am Just like that, Mumma we ain't going out like that Am7 One day I'ma catch him outside ah, how 'bout dat? E You know like that E7 When Pops used to preach I should've listened Am Now I bet he's up there grinning just 'cause I tried fight back Am7 I remember the times I used to steal bare weed from your pouch E And pocket any loose change you left lying around the house E7 I'd do anything to spend a couple seconds with him alive Am Instead I'm just left with a memory of him dead on the couch Am7 Forever putting pieces together tryna' figure shit out I^Emagine I was more than puzzled, having to give you mouth to mouth E7 My lord there was dry blood all down your face Am I will never forget the taste, tryna' save the man of the house Am7 They say 'home is where the heart is' E Well my one was on the market ^E7Mum's got her own key but she prefers it where we started ^AmQueen of the hood, reminiscing must feel good Am7 Couldn't afford to buy me trainers now she's cleaning up my books E When she's cleaning up the flat E7 She be polishing the plaques Am She ain't worried about no bailiffs now her baby's paying tax Am7 When the press are talking trash, know that it ain't facts E Why would I smash my own gaff up when my yout's are in the back E7 I'd be mad if I sat here tryna' justify every article Am I've already been chewed up and spat out into little particles ^Am7Even though I'm sensitive and a softy at heart E All I hear is 'rip them apart 'cause there ain't nobody as hard as you' E7 Easily antagonised, when I hear a bag of lies Am Everyone's got a past, only difference is mine's glamorised ^Am7Talk about being terrorised, like say I'm gonna fall back ^EYour favourite artist now started out as my support act E7 The scene was way needier, way before social media Am When we used to turn to radio just to make our lives easier Am7 Check my Wikipedia E I sold out bare arenas yo E7 They tried to brand me urban Am So I climbed outta the pigeon hole Am7 I kicked down the door and left it open for the rest E I went platinum three times, so how am I still in debt? E7 700K on the first, 500 on the next Am When you sign a shitty deal fam Am7 What else do you expect? E Oi Stormzy you the guy now, I've always fucked with Skep' E7 I wrote my hardest 32 the first time I heard Wretch Am I ain't got a chip on my shoulder about who's the best Am7 But I beg someone tell Drizzy I'm packing something fresh E I got as far as I am from going HAM as I can E7 So for me going jail weren't really part of the plan Am I came a long way from getting chased down in that Megane Am7 So imagine man like me, stuck in the can E They say I'm too hard headed, and one day I'm gonna learn E7 Never thought I would be sat here selling signatures for burn Am Oi Akhi are you listening? Am7 It really don't matter about who you are on the outside or if your wrist is glistening E In here, you'll get hung up to dry for moving wet E7 The only time I'm talking shit, when I'm plugging up my tech Am Ay so fuck the KG's you have, wrapped around your neck Am7 Here all that matters is the KG's you're pushing on your chest E My momma told me keep my head down, stay quiet E7 How the fuck's that gonna work when suddenly I got man on a diet? Am Thinking now I'm at my lowest, life can only get better Am7 Them man run up in my cell and try leave holes in my sweater E Now I'm here and I got a price on my head top, uh E7 Well I'ma double that just get the pussy' head top Am From lobster and steak, to yam and noodles and tuna ^Am7Thursday's cantine, couldn't come any sooner ^ESitting in my cell wishing that it could be way cooler E7 No charger for the tizzy so I can't even call you Am Oi, get down and lay down Am7 I ain't come back to play around E Even though I was excluded, this industry's still my playground Em7
