Marj told me that I gotta work twice as hard
Didn't really know what she meant but
I can't even pretend fam life is hard
8 Letters in my surname, Ghana was the birthplace
My daddy didn't write no bars
Instead he flew across the border man my parents
Walked on water like the author and they niced my path
And now I'm walking in my destiny cos I got the right to pass
Grew up on Kano and Santana
My dad said "son you'll never wear a bandana
I didn't work this hard for you to be a gangbanger"
I set pace now the fam stand up
Listen
You know the skin black so it's different
Beating all the odds can't stack go the distance
They tried to make my book hardback so I switched it
Paperback in the backpack for the kids dem
Brah
I've got the heart of a king
My dad raised the bar gotta shout out to him
How long we been defying odds
Guys wanna talk like I ain't been going hard for a min
Can't back down part of a rich history check the background
Brah
Can't stop us
Nah g God got us
Too grimey for the church but too churchy for the grime scene
Still I paved the way
And to my brothers on the curb they're
Gonna tell you it's a pipe dream
Don't let em get inside your brain
Flip the habit
Back then they had us settled in the field
Picking cotton still I'm praying for a level playing field
Cos it's systematic
See me I'm tryna lift the damage
Help my young G's skip the traffic
Gotta keep the devil in his hole
Forever I gotta work on that goal can't get lethargic
I'm in the hood showing love regardless
Cos it's better to be a light than to curse the darkness
This ting has taken too many lives
I got brothers six deep and I got brothers inside
If I could I'd skip sleep to help my brothers survive
God bless the bros hope we better for life
Brah
I've got the heart of a king
My dad raised the bar gotta shout out to him
How long we been defying odds
Guys wanna talk like I ain't been going hard for a min
Can't back down part of a rich history check the background
Brah
Can't stop us
Nah g God got us
Whether it's a train or a wraith man
I'm telling all my brothers roll safe
I know we really want change but the devil really loves our old ways
And he keeps testing me
Lord please set me free
