We don't live in a meritocracy

I ain't from the aristocracy

And my wifey loves Jodeci

So man a man spin that regularly

Yeah man a man spin that obviously

you and me breathe hypocrisy

Cos we say that we're following God

But then live as if we do not believe

That's too deep lemme go shallower

I grew up on grime not Gallagher

Where I'm from everyone spat a bar

Or they kicked ball like Alaba

Fam it's real life no avatar

Man get taken for amateur

Thats a big big mistake though

I got lot on my plate bro

And I think deep like Plato

I'm a confusing character

I don't make sense

Like the season of prison break that was in Panama

Nicks real funny like ha ha ha

Self employed no manager

But still I need guidance please

Like Lord can you shine your light on me

Cos I'm tryna breathe

But it's kinda hard

Maybe the stars are aligning
Put it all behind us
Could it be perfect timing
Or a silver lining?


We don't live in a world that's fair

I've taken L's it's clear

Had friends that left too soon

Can't lie man I felt that there

Seen too many too many many man get power

And held that there

Got me feeling like Boy better know man we need some more girls in here

That's too deep lemme go shallower

I grew up on Grime not Gallagher

Wiley bad em up bad em up

Tear drop phone with the camera

Yeah man I had girl on my Nokia

shy boy but I got cockier

That was a big big mistake though

Man got took for potato

I learnt my place though

I'm not a placeholder

Got a lot to do no game over

I'm the same old Nick no makeover

I got skin in the game like a stakeholder

And it's mad

Can't live life I'm a young boy

Now I'm doing up dad

Got the Lord on my side

And my wife got my back

And my girls in the pram

Maybe the stars are aligning

Put it all behind us

Could it be perfect timing

Or a silver lining?
