lyrics

"Daniel!"
My Nan would give me lessons in the context of living in the 40s
But I'm out here in Great Britain in the naughties
No guarantee that I'm gonna make it to my 40s
Lucky I can give thanks at all that I made it to my 30s
If my haters ever caught me
And I didn't move alertly and assertive
Could have been me instead of my Mother in the morgue, B
Giving thanks in moment as I sip my Captain Morgan
Phantom of the Opera like I'm sitting at my organ
Spliff up in my jawbone
Sexy ting slumped out while I rummage round
For the dressing gown somewhere in this wardrobe
You know what I want you to know and I keep the door closed
Coz envious and badmind are active night and morning
I need no interference in the work that I'm performing
And if I pull it off everybody gets a blessing
I'm simply living 'my vida loca' never stressing

I stress myself out tryna think of that one million pound idea
I drink so much one day, I think I'ma brew my own beer
You wanna kill me as much as I do, so why am I still here
I'm scared all the time, but when I see danger I have no fear

Who's here for me? Friend or a stranger
If I'm really honest I have no idea
Strangers gave me directions
I ain't seen a loved one in like a year
Seems like everybody's angry
I'm too laid back so nobody can stand me
But they don't know the pain and the rage
They think that I move in the strangest of ways
That boy Christie is the strangest of Breys
Don't know the revolutionary ways I was raised
I aint lost in a maze
My eyes wide open and I'm shocked and amazed
I've been this way since POGS was a craze
And I'm going off like I'm Crazy Frog when I spray
Who wants to live long enough to see the doctor today
I know what I'm doing and I know where I'm going
I ain't lost in my way! Get the fuck from my way
Presidential like Kennedy, you'll need a long shot from far away
Who wants to live, long enough to see the doctor today
Rooting for everybody Black like Issa Rae
And in my own way I'm kinda like Kwame Ture
Tell my own story, your news is all fake
Some man gave you the blueprint to buy a whole city
What did you do? you bought Wraiths
You bought chains
You're all slaves!
