Lyrics
This last couple years felt like a lot of pressure
This past couple of years has been very challenging and demanding.
Spinning round in self doubt under soggy weather
I've been caught up in self-doubt, feeling overwhelmed in difficult circumstances.
I false started I was gone but now I'm back I'm better
I initially started something but had a false start; now I've returned, and I'm in a better state.
To all of you that held me down just know I won't forget ya
Gratitude to those who supported me during tough times; I won't forget your help.
Was feeling tired I won't deny I almost kinda quit this
I was exhausted, and I admit I almost gave up on my pursuits.
Struggling to feel inspired in amongst the richness
Struggling to find inspiration amid wealth and abundance.
The bullshit, the politics and business
Dealing with the challenges of deceit, politics, and business in the industry.
So many raps to finish yeah seb and pas can witness
Many songs to finish, witnessed by Seb and Pas.
Been re-recording every track man couldn't catch that feeling
Re-recording tracks to capture the right emotion that was missed.
Been balling up the empty pages felt like actually screaming
Frustration expressed by crumpling empty pages, akin to screaming.
50 hour weeks at work to try and keep afloat then
Working long hours to sustain myself, facing obstacles in progress.
The enemy of progress, this industry's a process
Viewing the industry as a process with hindrances to development.
Back and forth across the country opened tour for family
Travelling across the country, opening tours for family.
Loyle, Barney, Aaron, billy brims, Harvs and frankie
Mentioning names of individuals who provided life lessons outside of Camden and Hackney.
Showed me bout life beyond camden and hackney
Expressing gratitude to those who supported the artist.
That's why I'm sending love cos them man there backed me
Showing love to those who backed the artist during challenging times.
Almost signed a record deal my mumsie thought we made it
Almost signing a record deal, but circumstances prevented it.
But the timing weren't right so I couldn't take it
Timing not being right for a record deal, despite external perceptions.
People ask about regrets ask me would I change it
Responding to inquiries about regrets and emphasizing personal integrity over fame.
I got integrity not signing just cos someone's famous
Choosing not to sign solely because someone is famous, prioritizing integrity.
Damn right such is life, so I kept it moving
Acknowledging the challenges in life and continuing to move forward.
I put in hours every night and yo I kept improving
Consistent effort and improvement highlighted through nightly dedication.
I went and put my life all inside my music
Investing personal experiences into music as a form of expression.
And now I'm eating off the pudding that you'll find the proof in
Reaping the rewards of hard work reflected in the success of the artist.
Dropped my first ep and caught a couple bookings
Released the first EP and started getting performance opportunities.
Built the studio so now we got our place to cook in
Established a studio for creative work.
Spent so many late nights tryna get the tracks right
Countless nights spent perfecting tracks.
So many days fried tryna get the raps right
Frustration expressed in the process of refining rap verses.
Shouts to Root seven three believe the teams been growing
Acknowledging the growth of the team, giving thanks to specific individuals.
Thank you Asher my g for the belief you're showing
Expressing gratitude to Asher for believing in the artist.
Elisa srig Eerf and maya yo let's keep this going
Recognizing and appreciating the contributions of Elisa, Srig, Eerf, and Maya.
We built a scene of young mcs time to peep the roses
Building a community of young MCs and urging appreciation for achievements.
You know this been underrated living understated
Highlighting a sense of being overlooked and living a modest life.
Worked for twelves months now I'm wondering where the summer days went
Reflecting on the passage of time, wondering where the summer days went.
Been working hard but feel like nothings changing
Expressing frustration despite hard work, feeling a lack of progress.
Watching bruddas sell they souls for a fucking pay check
Observing others compromising values for a paycheck.
But that's cool that's their life
Acknowledging that everyone has their own path in life.
I play the game to take it all and then I plan to share mine
Playing the game with the intention to succeed and share success with others.
We weeded out the snakes now the plans are air tight
Removing negative influences, ensuring well-thought-out plans.
Concrete Clouds on the way sending shouts to hairline
Teasing an upcoming project titled "Concrete Clouds" and giving shoutouts.
