SO WHAT / SMOKE INTERLUDE

(Album: GOD SAVE THE STREETS - 2023)

I never had shit, so what?
Started in the bits, so what?
Tryna buy a brick, sold rocks
Yeah, don't watch us
That's just how the kids grow up (So what?)

Growing up in the ends
Shit was hella sticky, we was stuck in the ends
Man were getting double crossed and didn't wanna repent
Another kid got a twelve, I've seen a dozen of them
Six feet under, make a killing or die
Fate can be fatal when you living that life
Way before we got girls, they were tings in the ride
Instead tryna fly straight, man were letting it sky
Twenty-one gun salute, grew up in the 1-5
With pure intentions, but I still had the intent to supply
Better watch your words when you're mentioning mine
Look what we did to survive

I never had shit, so what?
Started in the bits, so what?
Got another chick, so what?
Yeah, don't watch us
That's just how the kids grow up (So what?)

Yeah, young fire, old flame, really change shit for me
Had to burn bridges, it was dangerous for me
All that heat in summer, I ain't safe in my hoody
Tryna cut through, so my mates got a dully
It's a gamble everyday, and, no, we ain't in the bookies
No one couldn't say nothing to me
Started weighing up my options, bro took the scales our for me
Yo, sold grams way before the 'Gram
Mmm, imagine if it never went to plan
I just had this image in my head and it was picture perfect, a lot of diamonds dancing with no flash
Trouble in the trash, hundred on the dash board, hundred all in cash
I ain't gotta trap no more, it's all a trap, but I wouldn't change a thing if I had to go back

I never had shit, so what?
Started in the bits, so what?
Tryna buy a brick, sold rocks
Yeah, don't watch us
That's just how the kids grow up (So what?)

I feared being alone, yeah
Until my mum left me on my own
Got nobody down for me, I'm so low
But everybody's counting on me, I'm in need of a clone
I'm collecting these queens, I need more than a throne
'Cause royalties from streams, turn into cash flow
Might spend some money on me on that note
And they judge by my colour, so I'm in black clothes
Man are dying over jewels, I still want diamonds
No grind, no shine, I'ma keep shining

I never had shit, so what?
Started in the bits, so what?
Tryna buy a brick, sold rocks
Yeah, don't watch us
That's just how the kids grow up (So what?)

Yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Grew up in Tottenham with the gees

Smoke
I don't do violence, out of retirement talk
And I get high, nigga, I'm so fly, dope
Smoke, smoke
Smoke, smoke, I can do both

Don't send for me
No, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, that's not cool
I am not your enemy
No, no, Jah, no
Jah no and reload it
Reload that interlude
'Cause you know, I don't do songs, but if I do, if I do
Long smoke (Al qaedo)

Wavy, wavy, row the boat (Yeah)
Out of shore, so they can't float (Yeah)
Tryna shed the heavy load
No, no, no, I'm the plug (Yeah)
Nigga, you are not my folk (Yeah)
Not the fall, it's the climbing
Over stand you declining
Understand the assignment, who bring the vibe in

Assignment, who bring the vibe in
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I don't even smoke But pass me the lighter
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah)

No smoke
With out young fire, you see this style here
We can do both, both, yeah

Yeah
I just want all the smoke
I just want all the smoke
I just might order smoke
Then make a call, let's smoke
Boy this is more than smoke
That nigga wanted smoke
And he got smoked so quick, he never saw the smoke
No, this ain't smoking mirrors, I really want all the smoke
There's so much fire in the booth that I recorded smoke
I need a smoke alarm for all this smoke
A spliff and a Smith & Wesson, that sorta smoke
Even had smoke for breakfast, smoked salmon
Wake and bake, I smoked weed, focused on my vision
I can see it through the smoked screen
Had to see the light in the dark where they smoke weed
Rest in Peace, Pop Smoke, niggas wanna smoke me
All the smoke, I want all the smoke
Got soo much smoke for these niggas, I'm getting bored of smoke
'Cause growing up in hell, I had to inhale the smoke
And I wanted all the smoke
I want all the smoke, I need it
