Seven Days

(album: Full English - 2013)

Yeah I knew I was a fruit cake I knew I'd flipped
At your worst Paul what were you taking in an average day?
I would say I'd probably have about sixteen lines of coke in a day which is a hell of a lot
And how much alcohol?
I was, I was on four bottles of whiskey a day

Danny I'm the dodgiest, stirring the stodgiest
Porridges but I don't ever do politics
'Cause I'm the honestest And these mugs wouldn't know
Honesty unless a foreigner starts bombing it
I ain't perfect far from it
I down brown ales til my wallets half vomit
But I can rise knowledge with a wise guy sonnet
So I'm fucking this beat, 'cause I sound, sound on it
And I can hit the chart quicker than I hit a tart
But why regress on a quest for a slick advance
That said I'd leave my love for a thicker arse
Lose her bra quicker than the sipping on a liquor jar
I ain't counting 'til I'm on a higher mountain
And god starts shouting 'bout a bag of lout outings
I'll be like hold up, let me roll a rollup
And where the fuck's [?] if you're really bringing soul up

First day of sin went and brought a gold ring
Second day I sinned third day I got it in
Got caught pissed from the fourth to the sixth
On the seventh day I said where have I been
First day of sin went and brought a gold ring
Second day I sinned third day I got it in
Got caught pissed from the fourth to the sixth
On the seventh day I said where have I been

I've got the devil on my shoulder but I'll never let him in
Keeping on stressing while I'm sitting here confessing to my sins
I was destined for the bin 'til they took Kai from my side
Left me feeling like a lost my next of kin
And that's when my perspective started shifting to a different scale
Out here making moves while he's moving to a different jail
Another different cell and I just wish him well
Send a couple quid might as well throw it down a wishing well
Tryna' get me on possession I said fuck the devil
Stop I've gotta start and from the heart I found another level
'Cause now I've found myself in music that's enough of pebbles
Risking metal all around my wrists just for another kettle
But for my hardships we're living in times of darkness
I want to live right but my heart's split
I've been a bastard but I know you reap what you sow
To make peace with my soul is my last wish

First day of sin went and brought a gold ring
Second day I sinned third day I got it in
Got caught pissed from the fourth to the sixth
On the seventh day I said where have I been
First day of sin went and brought a gold ring
Second day I sinned third day I got it in
Got caught pissed from the fourth to the sixth
On the seventh day I said where have I been

I remember thinking that it mattered when it didn't
I remember thinking that the present is what you're given
Well it's what you make it, now I just admit it
Age made me wise bruv there's wisdom in the lyrics
Someone told me that they're real I told them that they ain't
'Cause if they really were they wouldn't feel the need to say
There's importance in the truth when you see it in the fake
Work it all out when you're looking at his face
The sun came out over south-east six
I'm in Mountsfield Park putting baccy in a skin
I was once taught every man's a king
I'm in my humble castle and you're all welcome in
Try and tell 'em 'bout The Manor now the finally hear
Everything's flown by in the last couple years
Been tryna sit 'em down for a zoobie and a bear
Now they're sitting round the table pinging of the gear

First day of sin went and brought a gold ring
Second day I sinned third day I got it in
Got caught pissed from the fourth to the sixth
On the seventh day I said where have I been
First day of sin went and brought a gold ring
Second day I sinned third day I got it in
Got caught pissed from the fourth to the sixth
On the seventh day I said where have I been
