Spirit

(album: Common Sense - 2017)

Even when we never had a penny, yeah we always had spirit
They can bun my flesh, but they can't touch my spirit
They wan' take way my freedom, but they can't take away my spirit
Cause even when we never had a penny, yeah we always had spirit
All you hear is siren and skeng fire, hold your head higher
Bill a zoot, then build a empire
Skeng fire, hold your head higher, bill a zoot, then build a empire
All you hear is siren and skeng fire, hold your head higher
Bill a zoot, then build a empire
Skeng fire, hold your head higher, bill a zoot, then build a empire

If I end up dead or popping on the wing, just know mummy raised a King
Grind 'til money ain't a thing, you became a boss and brought all these bruddas in
Live by loyalty and honour, same time I do what I wanna
And I know how to treat a woman proper, cuh I seen mamma suffer
No money but we had life, I go hungry let my brother take my slice
Ride outs and drive-bys, but deep down they're nice guys
Looking spectacular in my spectacles, all my bruddas are stylish and fashionable
Carry the ting like it's casual, came from the dirt it's only right that I blow

Even when we never had a penny, yeah we always had spirit
They can bun my flesh, but they can't touch my spirit
They wan' take way my freedom, but they can't take away my spirit
Cause even when we never had a penny, yeah we always had spirit
All you hear is siren and skeng fire, hold your head higher
Bill a zoot, then build a empire
Skeng fire, hold your head higher, bill a zoot, then build a empire
All you hear is siren and skeng fire, hold your head higher
Bill a zoot, then build a empire
Skeng fire, hold your head higher, bill a zoot, then build a empire

It's so funny how life unfolded, come too far to even lose focus
All we do is win I can't control it, but I can't take credit when God wrote it
Used to be a snot-nosed kid
I knew a bruddah, 16 with two kids, don't they grow up fast step outside and graft
Your line don't bang cause you woke up last, you're grinding in slow motion
I was out selling no lotion, he knows me I don't know him
But money coming on the boat load ting
You let the goons dem in, I'm the fisherman cruising by gyal your waist need some loosening
Let me some ting, what you think about you and I G'd up in the G-Wagon

Even when we never had a penny, yeah we always had spirit
They can bun my flesh, but they can't touch my spirit
They wan' take way my freedom, but they can't take away my spirit
Cause even when we never had a penny, yeah we always had spirit
All you hear is siren and skeng fire, hold your head higher
Bill a zoot, then build a empire
Skeng fire, hold your head higher, bill a zoot, then build a empire
All you hear is siren and skeng fire, hold your head higher
Bill a zoot, then build a empire
Skeng fire, hold your head higher, bill a zoot, then build a empire
