Текст песни: Straight Facts + перевод

When I was sky high not many of you wanted to see me fall

I had one big ego, but I was mentally small

I thought I was the man, telling everybody what to do

When really they were just using me including my skrilla too

So look who’s laughing now because it definitely ain’t me

Due to all my fuckery my agent had to lower my fee

With all the money I owe out, I could own me another key

Instead I sold the house I lived in 'cause I was working for free

My friends were looking at me for help when I couldn’t help myself

And labelled me a no one when the label put me on it’s shelf

I weren’t eating properly and they could see I wasn’t well

Still all they seemed to care about was my wealth

Fuck my health

See the Tinnitus thing I have, has always put me through hell

Too busy looking out for others and not thinking about myself

I’m rich and paranoid, who else is tryna' fuck with my girl?

Who else is making up lies for another story to sell?

Yo, my BM sold like two stories on me for like 30K

My TM was doing dirty on me like almost every day

Right under my nose, I would have never have known

So thank fuck that I’m paranoid and I went through his phone

Fuck I see a text to his wife

They nearly ruined my life

Thinking how’s all this information getting printed overnight?

No lie, no lie

I know it’s in black and white

And even though it’s in The Times it’s still a big bag of shite!

I blame myself for being ignorant and opening up

But when you’re stuck in this industry, you don’t know who to trust

I’m screaming where is the love?

'Cause on the flip side, on my kid’s life

In the streets I would’ve opened you up

Just like that, Mumma we ain’t going out like that

One day I’ma catch him outside ah, how 'bout dat?

You know like that

When Pops used to preach I should’ve listened

Now I bet he’s up there grinning just 'cause I tried fight back

I remember the times I used to steal bare weed from your pouch

And pocket any loose change you left lying around the house

I’d do anything to spend a couple seconds with him alive

Instead I’m just left with a memory of him dead on the couch

Forever putting pieces together tryna' figure shit out

Imagine I was more than puzzled, having to give you mouth to mouth

My lord there was dry blood all down your face

I will never forget the taste, tryna' save the man of the house

They say 'home is where the heart is'

Well my one was on the market

Mum’s got her own key but she prefers it where we started

Queen of the hood, reminiscing must feel good

Couldn’t afford to buy me trainers now she’s cleaning up my books

When she’s cleaning up the flat

She be polishing the plaques

She ain’t worried about no bailiffs now her baby’s paying tax

When the press are talking trash, know that it ain’t facts

Why would I smash my own gaff up when my yout’s are in the back

I’d be mad if I sat here tryna' justify every article

I’ve already been chewed up and spat out into little particles

Even though I’m sensitive and a softy at heart

All I hear is 'rip them apart 'cause there ain’t nobody as hard as you'

Easily antagonised, when I hear a bag of lies

Everyone’s got a past, only difference is mine’s glamorised

Talk about being terrorised, like say I’m gonna fall back

Your favourite artist now started out as my support act

The scene was way needier, way before social media

When we used to turn to radio just to make our lives easier

Check my Wikipedia

I sold out bare arenas yo

They tried to brand me urban

So I climbed outta the pigeon hole

I kicked down the door and left it open for the rest

I went platinum three times, so how am I still in debt?

700K on the first, 500 on the next

When you sign a shitty deal fam

What else do you expect?

Oi Stormzy you the guy now, I’ve always fucked with Skep'

I writ my hardest 32 the first time I heard Wretch

I ain’t got a chip on my shoulder about who’s the best

But I beg someone tell Drizzy I’m packing something fresh

I got as far as I am from going HAM as I can

So for me going jail weren’t really part of the plan

I came a long way from getting chased down in that Megane

So imagine man like me, stuck in the can

They say I’m too hard headed, and one day I’m gonna learn

Never thought I would be sat here selling signatures for burn

Oi Akhi are you listening?

It really don’t matter about who you are on the outside or if your wrist is

glistening

In here, you’ll get hung up to dry for moving wet

The only time I’m talking shit, when I’m plugging up my tech

Ay so fuck the KG’s you have, wrapped around your neck

Here all that matters is the KG’s you’re pushing on your chest

My momma told me keep my head down, stay quiet

How the fuck’s that gonna work when got man on a diet?

Thinking now I’m at my lowest, life can only get better

Them man run up in my cell and try leave holes in my sweater

Now I’m here and I got a price on my head top, uh

Well I’ma double that just get the pussy' head top

From lobster and steak, to yam and noodles and tuna

Thursday’s cantine, couldn’t come any sooner

Sitting in my cell wishing that it could be way cooler

No charger for the tizzy so I can’t even call you

Oi, get down and lay down

I ain’t come back to play around

Even though I was excluded, this industry’s still my playground
