Yeah
Verse 1
Started with 50 bob in my loop account
I’m not that far up but i’m aiming for cash you couldn’t count
Huge amounts aiming for even higher than paramount
I’m about my business all that other crap i’m flushing out
I take precautions with wholam around
Blood or not i’ll cut you off just to keep my mental sound
Sniffing out a villain resemblance of a freaking hound
Really play the game these guys on the bench but i’m on the ground
Wake up daily i meditate and i get to work
Small talk doesn’t do much for us all it does is irk
Gossip is a waste of air i don’t care for the circle jerk
Beats is all i be talking to bro i came to murk
Just a jamaa trynna make it in this city
Some days? not so ugly others are are as prеtty
But the least that i could benеfit from is the pity
So l guess i got no choice but to get gritty
Chorus
I been down this path before
Such a lonely lonely road
Been through things i never show
Been through pain you wouldn’t know
World is cold the city’s colder
You might come to find no love
There ain’t no love in the heart of town
No love in the city
Verse 2
Okay, matrimony to the game’s something you should be calling off
Cuz like fake bezels i see a lot of you falling off
Most of your friends are good for nothing but gas
Telling you your staff’s distinctive but really it’s just a pass
Half the reason why most of you are famous is cuz your asses, contain all of the lip prints that you could ever amass
Creating to appease and be validated by masses
Showing you that your ego is just a cup made of glass
By virtue of being real we been written off
By an industry very few are making a living off
Who cares though? i got the mental of a winner
Swimming with sharks and piranhas we’re having seafood for dinner
These days i got the manners of a rabbit
Ears wide-open mouth shut minding my green and carrots, observing listening and minding mine became a habit
Checkmate no matter the gambit i see the chance and i grab it
Rookie mistake is being chaotic
Real ones move like submarines they move aquatic
Real gs move in silence like the word gnome
And their work speaks for all of them like me and the sonics
Silly loud n#gg#s simply want the rooms attention
Soon enough that becomes a painful lesson
That’ll teach you to try stay out of everyone’s mentions
And you’ll pay through the nose for all of your transgressions
Chorus
I been down this path before
Such a lonely lonely road
Been through things i never show
Been through pain you wouldn’t know
World is cold the city’s colder
You might come to find no love
There ain’t no love in the heart of town
No love in the city
Bridge
Utawapa yako yote
Ndio wakuchukulie tu kama taka
Haijalishi pende usipende
Watu watafanya wanachotaka
Game yenyewe iko rigged
Hakuna kitu ka ungwana
Usijisumbushe na haya
Kweli utateseka sana
Verse 3
We don’t all get rich parents we gotta work for ours
Put in that over time gotta be at work for hours
Life is for tackling things head on i never cower
Sometimes you really gotta take the sweet with the sour
Sometimes a legend isn’t welcome in their own home
Then when you let them go they say you forgot about your own
All that they love to do is to throw their freaking stones
Say you turned you back on them after the true colours they shown you
Chorus
I been down this path before
Such a lonely lonely road
Been through things i never show
Been through pain you wouldn’t know
World is cold the city’s colder
You might come to find no love
There ain’t no love in the heart of town
No love in the city
