and she used to say this Ghanaian saying
that it takes a village to raise a child.
Her and my man got snuffed.
No lie, that could have been us.
God, please guide all those he loved.
When we feel down, man, we look up.
Gotta turn that pain to purpose.
us left too short so we gotta work it
Still make mistakes but I'm learning
But they told me I weren't good enough
Still wouldn't give it up,
Lost my confidence but had to pick it up
So now I'm confident, not cocky
And they can try and block me
Cause this is where God wants me
So I might pull up to the spot
I might pull up to the spot
when I heard two shots go off
Them things flew right past
But we didn't move too far
So I still saw goons on the corner
But I couldn't do that dog
So I ain't got time for the messing
Run up with the mic, no guest list
Make your head spin like Zeppelin
Give me back on the block, I'm investing
The whole of the village,
Turn bloodshed into success
And that's for the culture
And they can try and block me,
Cause this is where God wants me
So I might pull up to the spot
I might pull up to the spot
I ain't on what them man are on
I ain't got the P for the bust down
So you can see me with a big face
I flip page in a Argos catalogue
Never went eaten but still I battle on
A tracksuit don't make me a vagabond
been challenging stereotypes
But I guess it's not a sprint
Still got the next flow in death and grief
It's do or die when they step on the road
They lose lives on their cellular phones
So now we gotta get in the zone
And all I know is when God says yes,
So put me to the test and watch the way go
That they can try and block me
Cause this is where God wants me
So I might pull up to the spot
I might pull up to the spot
Muscle, so I might put up to the spot
I might put up to the spot
