BL@CKBOX Ep. 79 by Psychs Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They said you better dot your I's and cross your T's
And anything I've done I've always done it to a T
It breaks my heart, a lot of guys who die because of beef
I pray they never have to print my face across a tee
Never one to gossip it ain't ever been my cup of tea
So I just sit and tell my story on a lot of beats
And I got pain to express 'cause there's a lot in me
I remember having fake friends who tried to plot on me
I swear this life is so hard and they don't understand
It's harder than you think to try and be the bigger man
How many chances can you turn around and give a man?
I stayed clean hearted but nobody seems to give a damn
You think my life is flippin easy, come and live it fam
I work around the clock so everyday I got a different plan
Living in a warzone, my circle got smaller
But you wouldn't know about it, everyday you're with a different gang
I'm with the same guys and we're the same crew
They told me focus on my vision and it came true
Haters tryna push me to the edge to see me breakdown
If I ever breakdown I'll show you what this pain do
Sometimes I cry about my struggle then my brothers have to tell me "you can't cry about your struggle - it made you"
And the water ain't the same out here
I'm with sharks in the sea, you ain't swimming on this wave dude
I don't really speak a lot
I keep my emotions in
It's hard for me to open up, I feel the walls closing in
If I'm suffering and there's a God, you can't tell me what's what
If he's in control, then how do I know it's him?
I feel like I'm banging on his door, he ain't opening
I just wanna know he's there, teach me how to notice him
Cah recently there's been a lot that I've been hearing and these things that I've been hearing got me struggling to cope within
Ai
They got me struggling to cope now
I used to reminisce on life, hoping it would slow down
I used to have a bunch of hatred for my enemies
Cah I believe in karma, what comes around goes round
I remember being 17 when I was spitting on the beat, the first bar was "this is how the story goes down"
Well I'm about to express myself
If I'm moving fast feel free to tell me I should slow down
I'll be on my grind until they tell me that I can't breathe
I've been on my grind and there's a lot of things you can't see
See I've been drowning in my thoughts but I got comfortable
Before the waves came best believe there was a calm sea
I'm tryna cool down searching for a calm breeze
I hustle on the mic, it's in my genes - no AMIRI
Fake friends, cut 'em off
They ain't coming near me
It's like when I was screaming out for help they couldn't hear me
If I didn't write my thoughts down I'd go insane
I don't expect you to understand what I can't explain
Skye told me pain's a beautiful emotion
I can say I did agree but nowadays I just don't feel the same
I'm crying tears at 2am and they don't see me cry
They ask me if I'm good, I say I'm good, moretimes I lie
If you say you love me when you say it look me in the eyes
They only say it in disguise
That's why I don't trust these, guys
I don't trust them at all
If I was slipping they'd be watching me fall
I was looking for opportunities, most of them were closing the door
I was banging on it, maybe I should go on some more
Let me break it down, broken-hearted rapper tryna make it out
I don't wanna wait, I'm way too eager I should make it now
My whole life I've been stuck in these situations but I'm waiting for the day when I've made it and get to change it round
But I'm scared that if I make it out they'll make it worse
I protect my heart all the time 'cause that's what they tryna hurt
And I ain't staying free
I've really had to get up in them trenches darg I've had to go and mash a lot of work
You can ask my brothers they know everything about me
I don't ever stop, I'm working 'til you see me on my last nerve
Ask my brothers they know everything about me
I don't ever stop, I'm working 'til you see me on my last nerve
[Verse 2]
Sting like Aybee
Yo
Take me in
Ai, yo
Questions, questions
They're asking me if I'm a rapper or artist
But Psychs don't answer to nobody's queries 'cause he's too ill and he knows he's the hardest
When I first came out with this flow, there were statements like I won't appeal to the market
Targets, targets
I've taken the bar so high, right now they don't know where the bar is
"I don't like this Psychs yute, someone tell me why he thinks he can brag for"
You ever done 1 mill independent, I hit 1 million views on my platform
If my arrogance irritates you or not, you can't tell me to stop
Big man I'll just chat more
How can you say that you're onto the kid?
You ain't on badness, why you lying on tracks for
Liar, liar, liar
Don't think you can hide if you touch my bro, I'll catch you in a crowd like Dier
Drag him out of his seat, raid him in his space
That's the Avatar settings, get left like Kya
Third degree burns when I rap it's peak
Don't come too close you can't stand this fire
I never knew a life like this one
That's word when I listen to Teeway
And if I don't have the funds for a Birkin bag then apparently it makes me a cheapskate
Bro's on the M-way tryna get P's in so he drives hard that's nuttin like Seagate
Can't wait til the whole team's eating, when we're eating I won't stop 'til my teeth ache
That girl used to air my chats nowadays when I pop up I'll get her like David
What you know about late nights no sleep so you can turn around and say "Mumma I made it"
You're a talker
I'm a walker like Ana but you won't catch me feeling faded
They say Psychs is a modern day Robin
Out of the hood bro I hope we make it, out of the hood bro I hope we make it
Why you lying about getting your opps down?
See that's how I know you're lying 'cah we were indoors, everyone was on lockdown
When the virus just keeps spreading, you can't keep lying you've run out of luck now
I don't know if you man heard Spreadin', I heard I'm the reason that schools got shutdown
I think Boris was getting the message
He didn't wanna deal with the virus, then he had to deal with it he got infected
Bare man stand when they speak conspiracies, please don't chat if you don't stand corrected
They hate 'cause they don't think like me
I can't chill with man that think Coronavirus is linked in with 5G, there's no way you could run that by me
"Psychs where you been?"
I was in the news, BBC
I know you saw me on your TV screen
Now I sit back as the numbers rise
That's 1 milly on Spotify streams
It's gonna be a cold day in hell for the guy that's gonna come and stop this dream
Try, but you can never stop my team
I got birds all feeling bitter
There's only 1 bird that matters, I just hit a million views on Twitter
I was in quarantine chillin with the family
Why? Cah it matters like Urkel
I've gone clear and you're still giving verbal, I was in the dm's chatting with Abloh
I just got a care package from Virgil
I see bare man tryna do music
They said I won't be bigger than Spreadin'
Fine, if you think like that then you're stupid
I don't indirect anymore, so if you get offended I guess that the shoe fits
I'm sitting on tracks like trains
And I can't wait to drop all of these new hits
Bare man claim 'Elephant in the room', these times now you don't even know where the room is
It's live in the flesh we ain't cappin about, my guys don't care about rumours
I got bars on bars no chocolate
Ain't nobody tryna tell me how to do this
If bro goes one way and it fails then I'm backing him tryna find some new manoeuvres
I back my guys we can never be losers
Hold on, please pause for a second
Psycho when I'm backing my family, I'll fist fight both you and your bredrin
And if it all works out in the end, you would've learnt one valuable lesson
Argh
I ain't got time for these neeks, I'm in the bag while I'm tryna bring this bread in
Me and bro-bro get to the investing
I got a leng ting calling me monsieur
Mademoiselle warn' hold this french stick
I'm in a boat tryna float above water
I sit rowing like I'm in a french whip
Bars go over your head, no cap my guy
Did you see what that French did?
Mixed it in with some English but nobody does it better than French The Kid
They said you better dot your I's and cross your T's
And anything I've done I've always done it to a T
It breaks my heart, a lot of guys who die because of beef
I pray they never have to print my face across a tee
Never one to gossip it ain't ever been my cup of tea
