Lava La Rue and Karma Kid - Lift You Up

Two nights, split eye
I hold tight speedin' through lights
When we drivin' down A4 in a hatchback
Five-twenty-one years and I got snatched back

Up a mountain in Ladbroke grove
Couldn't pass last night 'cause it was in my zone
Woke up to buzzer, it was K from road
He said, "We were all casualties, everyone involved"
He said, "What's the life of a rockstar, Lava?
All the magazines and the lady drama"
Jump from class a flights to packet ramen
Scrumpy nights back to open bars
I said, "Shit, man, it's deffo been a laugh
I guess my first pub deal would be my student grant"
If I had stayed n school, if I had even passed
I liked the free school meals, I love debate in class
Leavin' tour, no home to go to
No dad and dog and a bone to throw to
Call up the gran, check the brothers are good
Sweep the mattress on the floor, save up for the hood
Back home, notice on the door
Enjoy being alone, scraps from back and more
I roll myself a blem (yeah)
Repeat it all again

Can I lift you up from here?
Can I lift you up from here?
Can I lift you up from here?
Can I lift you up from here?

Riches to rags couldn't keep me down
It's the billionaires with the biggest frown
Misogyny couldn't keep me down
This world is for me, it's my lavatown

Rags to riches couldn't keep me bound
Grew up fast, and hard and proud
Foster care couldn't keep me down
This world is for me, it's my lavatown

Can I lift you up from here?
Can I lift you up from here?
