Prae Joven - How Can I Be The Same

How can I be the same
When I didn't have a pound to my name
Them man were hitting them raves
Only pain on my chest no chains
Every day's a chase
Bare times caught life no case
Down for the dogs you cannot claim
Said it with chest man I said it with base
Lemme tell you bout the broke kid, had to find faith from young I was hopeless
Couldn't show off back then couldn't show shit
Never saw my dad at home back in 06
If he was at home then I would've been focused
He was on a grind trying to get this Hovis
Times were hard and we wasn't really coping
More than the weight of the world on my shoulders
Built me to up stand in the open and spit verses bring me to the pulpit
Man I thought I wasn't ready I was loading
But now I'm in the game I'm ferocious
This ain't no heat man this is the explosion
This is real deep but I dived in the ocean
Used to be hard but right now I'm floating
If I was you right now I'd be chocking
I need the cake right now then the party's over
Drink to my pain so I'm hardly sober
Can't cry about the things I been through
Coz God knows I'm his hardest soldier
Fell off but I'm back like Barcelona
If I burn that bridge can't start it over
Opp is opp not calm with cobras
If the gang see him pitch dark it's coma
Peak when they had to grab a mask and chauffeur
Eyes on me when I parked the rover
Now she wanna beat but I can't condone her
Show no love I just talk and bone her
Mandem that used to be gang now wanna be rivals
You against me is survival
Clout is killing my people all this talk to try and go viral
How can I be the same
When I didn't have a pound to my name
Them man were hitting them raves
Only pain on my chest no chains
Every day's a chase
Bare times caught life no case
Down for the dogs you cannot claim
Said it with chest man I said it with base
Grew up with dogs in the church grew up with man that'll have you in a hearse
Grew up with man loving birds grew up with man that'll make you see a nurse
Both lanes is a gift and curse if you co-sign him then you're getting Merc'd
Please know I don't wanna do dirt but a brother been hurt so they got to feel it first
Everything I did man I had to coz of my circumstance not because I'm a black youth
Life moves can't freeze like statue man had you even when I didn't have food
Blessed are the poor in spirit said Matthew what about the the poor in wealth?
Devil is real and I'm sure as hell
Coz he's given me pain on enormous scale
Mumsy praying that I don't do wrong but she don't even know bout the things that I did
How many shops got robbed and cameras got dodged to try put clothes on my skin
When I got p and I was counting racks I know Gods counting my sins
Now I can't sleep, yeah what I done was trash but I swear I'll never go bin
Man I take risk but they calculated
I've seen pops bare stress bout the bailiffs
What's 9.50 hour wages
So I'm out ere and I grind for ages
Girls that didn't rate me now wanna be wifey
Paranoia thinking they'll line me
My standard come highly
Back no brain is not what I need
How can I be the same
When I didn't have a pound to my name
Them man were hitting them raves
Only pain on my chest no chains
Every day's a chase
Bare times caught life no case
Down for the dogs you cannot claim
Said it with chest man I said it with base
