[Verse 1]
Gm7
Glass half empty, waking from dreams, chasing my fears
I ain't never cried so much tears in all these years
F
Success brings more stress, my vision's clear
But from when I was 2020 my mother weren't in arrears
Eb
Big S class, leather chairs, I'm in the rear
Driver don't stop at all, but Buju blares
Dsus4
Makin' dough but my bro's having a mare
D
But as soon as bread bakes, it breaks my brothers, bless
Gm7
I would keep him in my prayers, but I don't pray
I put my hands together but it's more like Birdman these days
F
I ain't ever wayne'd a brudda, that's a major uh-uh
I ain't ever take another from a native brother
Eb
I swear had a conversation with Claire, the realest, yeah
It's funny how you don't know they're there until they're there
Dsus4
Hope that touring ain't takin' too much toll on the kids
D
But your fella, that's a real good fella, I need him there
Gm7
Tryna take the clique legit and not to bait West End clubs
'Cause playing roulette with the roads, the odds are stacked against us
F
Anyway, tempt fate not by who says luck will share
Can't keep leaving the yard breaking a leg
Eb
Cotch and Pop ciroc on the block with Jus D
Kai got youts on lock will set speed
Dsus4
Love, that's a dangerous thing
D
You pinch me? Hymn sheet
And a cheap black suit for them chiefs
Gm7
You gotta know the levels, you gotta know the kettles
You gotta know the factory settings from the frozen bezels
F
Yeah, I know the curry goat just like I know Sorrento
But you gotta know the roasted cod set on a bed of lentils, huh
Eb
Long nights, cold white wine, that's Sancerre
Eye contact with the cheers, that's young stare
Dsus4
Rare rapper, no compare with no breh
D
No pen, no comment with no fed
Gm7
Dreamt of Monte Carlo, blow a likkle hard dough
I just blew your little Prada's on some fish at Nando's
F
I ain't never been a Pablo, I been working hard bro
We need to stop the two-tone Cartiers at mummy's yard though
Eb
I know road man, used to diss a man for leasing cars, no
If it don't appreciate the value that we nah own
Dsus4
Used to be a Barksdale man, but now I fuck with Marlo
D
You can't fuck with my throne you little fucking arsehole
Gm7
'Cause I'm royal
[Bridge]
Gm7
And I be getting so much money on the road
F
Rich, think I need a pay cut
Eb
'Cause some Babylon boy wan' cuff me in the streets and lock me in a station
Dsus4
I heard that it cost to be the boss, guess I'm lucky that I'm bludclart James'd up
D
Patterned that from day dot, middle finger raised up, fuck you little haters yeah
[Verse 2]
Gm7
Babylon boy, look how they raided Stormzy
This is Cristal, not a case of 40's
F
The don't wanna see us off estates with all these
Young, rich Morley, still eatin' Morley's
Eb
They want more Campbell's and less Gordy's
I just turned down a hundred G, bossy
Dsus4
Whip too much raunchy too much saucy
Vroom, vroom, vrooming up the A40
Gm7
Pussy telling porkies, tried to assault me
Musta been a big plot to extort me
F
Now the prosecution wanna crown court me
Might have to sit down but I'ma stand tall G
Eb
I create history, they try to distort V
Grade for the credit but they six foot me
Dsus4
Rather that than graves for the chains and some shit jewellery
D
Only my guys and flies on the wall
Can tell the kid's story this probably
Gm7
Last track he got the Richard Mille
Now, thingy just got guilty for the thingy
F
Heart fucking bleeds for the kiddy
Anything he needs, it's no biggie
Eb
Mandem know I do it for the city, that's an understatement
Paying me the utmost respect, that's still an underpayment
Dsus4
Whisper all my props in my ear, it's never public ain't it
D
Fuck your greatest, how many times must I hush the haters?
Gm7
Tell us something 'bout our music now, oh, you so proud
F
Lethal laughing to the Coutts account, now you approve of Pow
Never had a silver spoon in mouth, now mummy's super proud
Couple new trophies for the house that I could do without
Eb
Fuck a nomination, I just go for the suit
Handful of friends, that's why I go for the coupe
Dsus4
Manoeuvre through the game 'cause I grew from the roots
D
What D Double did for me, I just do for the youts
