Almost But Not Quite

(album: Froggy - 2014)

[Jaykae:]
Yeah I'm ready

Oh Yeah

Sleeping season

Man I'm either too fucking busy
Or too busy fucking
Every day I'm taking over a new city stunting
Go and ask somebody who's running our city who matters yeah and who really doesn't
What a pity
Grow with me
Pull your socks up, take a stroll with me
[?] so you can see the hole in me
Buying bottles of this shit like [?]
Nah drink won't take my problems away
But my thoughts overload and my conscious'll play
Someones in trouble then it's gotta be Jay
Do you like my new flows yeah I got them today
A vet now til 12 I was an up-comer
Got a feeling that it's gonna be a good summer
So much things on [?] wish list
So I'm gonna make sure it's gonna be a good Christmas
Hard times June we deserve this shit
One way traffic can't swerve this shit
Grinding for time had to earn this shit
Takes years of silence to be heard this quick
Straight up
And if you're feeling froggy release another anthem (leap)
They mustn't be talking money cause they talk to me an' I never seem to understand em
(Don't ask big man questions)
They won't let a man live his life without stress the Police I can't stand em (can't stand em blud)
And the worst thing is these [?] neither are the mandem
Sad but true, bet you're screwing if that was you
Them guys that'll lie and tell you black was blue (what boys?)
Tell em catch up
Now I'm not fucking round this time it's clear
Sick of talking 'bout this time next year
You know me fam I get shit cracking
Just take a look at me this time next year
I'm nearly 23 you feel the energy
Josh was my little bro you seen the chemistry
Feels like I got a whole leap of enemies
Now you're way back there if you been ahead of me
Shout out Tom you hear the melody (trust me)
So nah nah don't give up for anything
Live yours fuck everything
Yeah that's life with a Y
An eye for an eye
Three deaths in one year I ask why to the sky
The motorbike crashed but I ride til I die
Don't think I'm bad I'm just tryna' get by
I smoke til I'm sober
Though all my soldiers doubt me [?]
I'll never mould to an older
Still looking over my shoulder
From a stone to a boulder like snow but I'm colder
Yeah fuck it man I'm great
And if your friend's on the wrong path put 'em on a Straight
I used to want her now I got it on a plate
Is it cause I'm Jaykae or cause I lost a bit of weight?
Oh Yeah

[Dapz:]
They never expected this
They never expected this
For real

Listening to too real and things don't seem too real
Cause you died on my Mum's birthday
I saw her face and cried thinking about Alison's pain
The golden boy you played a major part in helping Brum shut down
If you was around Froggy would not I ain't forgot
RIP Depz the boss
Cah we miss you bro
You're not here but you're here in spirit
Thank God Jaykae found the spirit to put down the spirits
Yeah that's the spirit
It's more than a living
This is a diary to remind me how I've been living
Writing but it was already written so don't tell me about spitting
You know like that
Find yourself in a stakeout, big ego
Confidence is frightening living that life with a Y
Private guy in the public eye
Not too social can't be social sights cah man have got a social life
Plus there's only so much
This could be us or niggas be like I can like
[?] been taking advice from Kyle and CS to read more
Read between the lines now I'm not around some man you saw me round before
When the helpers helping out
Who's helping the helper out?
I decided to help myself and now I make a bit of change
Cah things have changed from back in the day
I'm climbing ladders
Go Small Heath and [?]
Tryna follow [?] but same time follow my dream
And find that balance
Shake man's hand with my right hand only
Roll with my right hand man only
You know the pattern
Dad told me this was bound to happen
Cause son you have too much talent
Now I feel like Floyd when he had to fight Rickie Hatton
I had a serious passion for when I used to listen to [?]
Now me and my mandem are in fashion
Fans rate us so they pay attention
Gal rate us so they crave attention
I feel man feel in a way I can sense the tension
I know but choose not gas em
They want me on a Scrappy Doo vibe let me have 'em let me have 'em
Killing this shit one love [?]
Still can't fathom what's happened it's mad
It made me realise I'm a dad
Tryna be grateful even though things aren't great all the time
It's make or break only a few survive
West Brom's where I reside
I do this for my ting for my fam (don't say a word)
Almost but not quite
Got promoted to top flight
It's sleeping season, soon see me and my legion taking over your region
I'm tryna move right and put negativity aside
Do a good deed I'm nice
I've got a voice of course I'm gonna speak
Tell 'em if they feel froggy then

Are you mad?
Yo
