Lyrics and translation
Original
I stuck it out, and now I can say that I've seen both sides.
And I remember how I felt.
Remember how I felt. And I remember exactly how I felt.
-Three, two, three, backstage.
-Twenty-one years with the same old bars, still get reloads, so I keep repeating 'em.
Twenty-one years with the same faces around me, I know you're bored of seeing 'em.
Twenty-one snakes in the grass just waiting, hating. You need twenty-one phones for the game I'm playing.
-Three, two, three, backstage.
-Twenty-one years with the same old bars, still get reloads, so I keep repeating 'em.
Twenty-one years with the same faces around me, I know you're bored of seeing 'em.
Twenty-one snakes in the grass just waiting, hating. You need twenty-one phones for the game I'm playing.
I'm in my room up late, I'm pacing, overthinking. I don't wanna lie in the bed.
Spent all this money on a hotel suite, but I spent the night in my head.
Feel like I wanna switch off my phone for a week, 'cause I can't get a break from the beef.
Texting me paragraphs, I'm on a beach. Ludicrous shit disturbing the peace.
I'm wondering why I know I shouldn't text them back, but I keep responding.
Why do I keep trauma bonding? Why do they lie? Why they keep absconding?
You know the type, they never wanna sleep. Eat, rave, rinse and repeat. In a new gang every other week.
Switching -sides like half-time, it's Pete. -Oh, shit.
It's the first time in here without Blue Lock. Let's go.
One, -two. -One, two, three, backstage.
Twenty-one years with the same old bars, still get reloaded, so I keep repeating 'em.
Twenty-one years with the same faces around me, I know you're bored of seeing 'em. Twenty-one snakes in the grass just waiting, hating.
You need twenty-one phones for the game I'm playing.
Soon as I hit that stage, three reloads in sixty seconds, and I'm gone like Nicolas Cage.
Never had squares, I was cutting other shapes. Taught them how to finesse on the minimum wage.
Twenty-eight grams in an ounce. Four one nine, now they froze your accounts.
Uh, yo, yo, yo, it's the same old story over and over again. I said I wouldn't link that girl no more.
Look, now she coming over again. When I was high, said I wanna quit smoking.
I changed my mind, now I'm sober again. Went from the school run straight to the studio.
I spit a war lyric and it's over for them. Who said I can't multitask? I'm an enigma, and
I only putting the loudest in the Rizla.
Try walk a mile in my shoes, you'd get a blister. Left the house, then I came back richer.
Walk in the door tryna find where the kids are. Clart gave me the heads up.
Said he got a new pack and I told him send me a picture. You know me, I ain't tryna pay full price. I'm tryna get a deal like
I'm shopping in Bicester. Ever since way back, way back, way back, way back then.
Get that again. Told 'em it's, told 'em it's payback, wayback. See me in the
Maybach, ayy, that's stem. Suck who's bum now? Why would you say that?
Can't get your chain back, skate my friend. London boy, but I don't discriminate.
Take that dollar and I take that yen. Ever since way back, way back, way back, way back then.
Get that again. Told 'em it's, told 'em it's payback, wayback. See me in the
Maybach, ayy, that's stem. Suck whose bum now? Why would you say that?
Can't get your chain back, skate my friend. London boy, but I don't discriminate.
Take that dollar and I take that yen.
You won't see me outside unless it's a special occasion. Kids for the evening,
I'm outside tryna motivate the mandem and hold the reasoning.
Twenty-one years with the same old bars, still get reloads, so I keep repeating 'em.
Twenty-one years with the same faces around me, I know you're bored of seeing 'em.
Twenty-one snakes in the grass just waiting, hating.
You need twenty-one phones for the game I'm -playing.
-Free them, freebac, free them, freebac, shawty bak, free bac, free them, freebac, free them, freebac, freedom, freebac, shorty did freelance, freed 'em.
Ever since shorty did freelance, free them, freebac, shawty bak, free bac, free them.
Ever since shorty did freelance, I knew that freebac, shawty did freelance, free them, freebac, shawty did freelance.
I knew that freebac, shawty did freelance, I knew that freebac, shawty did freelance.
I knew that freebac, shawty did freelance, I knew that freebac, shawty did. . .
I knew that lil' white bitch on freebac.
Shawty did, I knew that nothing personal about it. I knew that, I knew that freebac, shawty did
