System Child
Yeah
I ain't been around
Been around for a minute
I had great ambitions
But these olders tried to kill it
They tried to bury me in the ground
I had risen
I'm just a lost child
Lost child in the system
I ain't been around
Been around for a minute
I had great ambitions
But these olders tried to kill it
They tried to bury me in the ground
I had risen
I'm just a lost child
Lost child in the system
How do you reach the top if you don't sell your soul?
They told me hard work is they way it goes
I say it's a facade 'cause I did the most
Still I'm underrated like an undercard
I'm the main event
I land in New York City, don't keep tabs on what I spent
I help my brothers out
I don't keep tabs on what I lend
I'm thinking 'bout the times where eviction was the threat
And my mama had no rent
I had a mattress but no bed
Fill scorps with 32s
Zeppelin with the led
No cooperation on my side with any feds
That's a fact
In the jungle like a lion
But I'm surrounded by these rats
They all claim to stick to codes
But I've seen paperwork it's mad
Huh
I love mine do you love yours
I got mine do you got yours
I was the one they called the lost cause
I was the one they called the lost cause
I ain't been around
Been around for a minute
I had great ambitions
But these olders tried to kill it
They tried to bury me in the ground
I had risen
I'm just a lost child
Lost child in the system
I ain't been around
Been around for a minute
I had great ambitions
But these olders tried to kill it
They tried to bury me in the ground
I had risen
I'm just a lost child
Lost child in the system
Before the streets we got some gangsters and some mutuals
Since Y-O-I socks full of snooker balls
36 I'm with some suspects yeah the usuals
I copped two bussdowns when I was new to jewels
I hear them rapping real gangsta I know that fools the fools
I told my teacher suck a dick I'm too cool for school
She said it's hard not to love me how I carry myself
I carried nanny and my aunty at their funerals
I swear my lifestyles wicked like the musical
You used to love me
Now I'm someone that you used to call
I still got it for the low that's food for thought
I've been a king with my crown
I ain't new to court
Just a kid in the system had me traumatised
On the phone to my nan, don't make me bawl my eyes
I got pain in my heart but it's normalised
God knows that I ain't seeing shit with normal eyes
I ain't been around
Been around for a minute
I had great ambitions
But these olders tried to kill it
They tried to bury me in the ground
I had risen
I'm just a lost child
Lost child in the system
I ain't been around
Been around for a minute
I had great ambitions
But these olders tried to kill it
They tried to bury me in the ground
I had risen
I'm just a lost child
