lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was in Ireland searching heritage
I was on my own moving like a heretic
At peace with what I've done after searching for what I needed
I was in Thailand culture tasting
I was on my own in a baron wasteland
Eating massaman thinking how to be a man
Cus life comes fast
And it hits hard
And once its done its done
The curtains close, legacy wrote that's how it goes, that's the code
Why do bros still beef over postcodes?
Why do they still beef over ends?
It doesn't matter now
Did it really matter back then?

[Hook]
I am a man but still a kid
End of the day is what it is
Call me mature call me what you want
If you don't mean it please don't front
I don't beg friend cus I lost all of mine
15 in 3 years I'm still doing fine
RIP to those of my bros in the sky

[Bridge]
I was in Dubai with Arabians as I was dreaming of selling out stadiums
Constantly chasing and never quitting
Life is a game one day I'll be winning but that's a long time away
I got no need to rush
I'm tryna craft art but running out of paint for my brush

[Spoken Voice]
Currently the paint is empty and you see the brush? its dry
And that happens from time to time
You run out, take time out and then come back and get back to doing your thing whatever it may be
Everybody has been in this situation before
And when you come to a state of realisation and a solution of how to fix it you're back in the game
Remember though it takes time
So don't be afraid about trial and error

[Verse 2]
I was in Jamaica steel drum listening
I felt the passion so I tried mimicking
What I was witnessing
Matching the intensity of what I was hearing
The fire in my belly cus I've already been in the one of the beast my turn to eat and feast
Reap what I sow, eat what I've earnt, analyse, contemplate what I've learnt but
It's a lot to take in but
So was growing up in a City of Sin
I've already say it but I'll say it again
My ends we weren't built to win
Nobody famous where I lived
We weren't meant to reach better things
Don't tell me about it, fam I lived it

[Hook]
I am a man but still a kid
End of the day is what it is
Call me mature call me what you want
If you don't mean it please don't front
I don't beg friend cus I lost all of mine
15 in 3 years I'm still doing fine
RIP to those of my bros in the sky

[Bridge 2]
20 straight years round struggle and strive
20 straight years of grit and grind
Do you know what its like to see you're Mom cry getting back from work in the dead of night?
Head in her hands tryna make plans thinking of ways to get out
Eyes are reds cheeks are the same but always put on a brave face

[Spoken Voice]
That right there is real, all of it
If you've seen that you know exactly where I'm coming from
I'm forever thankfully though but I've talked to much but I've said what I needed
Lemme get back to lyrics

[Verse 3]
I was in Poland lone wolf riding
I was out there bare Zlotys in my hand
I was enjoying I was living like a king
One man exploring Polish land
Shoutout my shaman, that was Jacob he helped show me the way
Eating donuts and jumping trains
A memory made for the rest of days
Travelling changed me I saw new things it remade me I met the King of Kings
Out in Egypt, Gaza Strip
It was '06 when I took that trip
The world is big there's so much out there still can't process it's actually mad
So many cultures to take in
I guess I'm Forever Nomad

[Hook]
I am a man but still a kid
End of the day is what it is
Call me mature call me what you want
If you don't mean it please don't front
I don't beg friend cus I lost all of mine
15 in 3 years I'm still doing fine
RIP to those of my bros in the sky
