Verse 1
21 with about 21 plans
back in the day I dun many dumb scams
Dm
D
When I was a kid, you said I wasn't shit coz I went and hung around 21 mans,
cool by adding a Q to 21 grams
Am
But theres something you dont understand,
you were raised in a different land
thugs and hounds and gunman round
Dm
With goons that hustle with tools as muscle
and sirens are the abundant sound
heard the devil calling but it some how drowned
Am
When I look back it was like a montage, with
a backing track made by The Beatles
Dm
coulda been dead or in jail in the se quel
With a desperado mentality,
that invest in hard doe reality
carry this wise guy straight to insanity
Am
Imagine me, sittin in my flat on my ones,
smoke on tap for my lungs
E
I wouldn't even chat to my mum, trapped and alone,
E
thinking where has he gone? and what has he done?
But I never meant to do wrong,
so I gotta move on while I sing this song

2 (Ali Bla Bla)
Things aren't what they seem,
you split from mum when I was fourteen
never saw the times I wiped my tears clean
never wondering why your son had been wild
E
Excepting that you made a blunder with child,
but you cant sweep lost years under the pile
with family affairs and no man ever there
with the olders who talked in a hood tone, ha!
like lifes just one big party
How can I listen when I can't see?
with a feeling that wasn't mutual
Em
E
Em
E
to people around me it took on a few tolls
Thinking im a big boss? as if Ali Bla Bla was Rick Ross!
E
Tried floss for the girls with the lip gloss,
Em
E
Am
but the truth is, really I would live lost
But now times are changing,
had to take your advice coz my life needs saving
E
When I look back, yes I was the worst behaving,
and really there was only my self in blaming
D
Dm
But last year grand dad died and I saw
From relationship ties,
and it made start questioning mine

I had actually grown to realise
And maybe we've been raised
E
Finally i see that it pays to make a living,
And maybe the next generation of
