I’m just tryna make mumzy proud
Pops your on the journey with me so don’t feel left out
I hate the idea of letting either one down
Browner my skin the louder I shout
Rap about it until I’m 6 feet underground

And all I ever say is we’re all family now
Lost a couple who I thought were locked for life
Cuts through at the time so I keep certain people close in line
Really flirt with the danger of losing life

Remind myself the vision is my limelight
Link jack on a cold night bill a zoot in the car up tiddseley
Duck for a next set of headlights n drive off swiftly
Leave love in Greece come back and my hearts all twitchy

And I swear If I ain’t have this campaign to focus on
I recon it’s more than likely I’ll have gone MIA
Cos I CBA with the shit I get dealt with every day
I really fear my fate

We sell mirrors in the city of the blind
Our cries ring out but fall silent time after time
But our hearts remain fulfilled
Despite the failures of our prime

Some are only silenced when dead I move silent but deadly
Set my sights on a knifes edge you’ll struggle to check for me
I’m Trapped gifted but cursed
I’d leave the west but their the ones who keep my feet to this earth
Greatness since birth

Yet it still hurts
Frustration strolls in and gets a little too comfy
Takes a sip of my drink taxes all energy from me
Strips me down to a tee reducing my bliss to poverty
In all honesty,

I’d appreciate these mirrors shifting
I’d be quids in soon dipping from making a living out of the kitchen
Quit all the bitching and seek clearance from this life I’ve been living
Leave the devil in my ear livid

Chances will come and I’ll make peace with the paths that I’ve run
Feel my way to the front, harness the spotlight and leave the microphone spun
Tears they’ll turn from water to rum and the food on our table soon comes from my mothers son, yeah

We sell mirrors in the city of the blind
Our cries ring out but fall silent time after time
But our hearts remain fulfilled
Despite the failures of our prime
