Gang Ties

Yeah

Still riding for the same side, yeah lad, we got gang ties

Been around it since young, how many opps did we make change sides?

Sick of seeing them hit legs, I was tryna see face time

No one outside at night, so we slide around in da day time

Like, way before this rapping stuff

I was on roads, taking trips back of the bus

Now they got me on escort, stackin' a truck

Thirty strips when I get around, make sure that I wrap it up

Saying you wasn't with them, so why the hell is you backing up?

I was getting at for half a key

And that was way before the music

I was seeing shootings in my dreams, but that was after I would do them

Used to meet with users on the corner

Now, it's label sit downs up at Warner

Told myself, I ain't going without the heat

Now, I'm getting them boys hit from the sauna

I was sitting in fifteen hour lockdowns that led to the segregation unit

Screws tried extending my vacation but I guess they found it hard to prove it

I could say that back then, we were moving different, now we got the hood on lock

See, I was on call for distribution for anything from green, right through to rock

And I'm out here

Still riding for the same side, yeah lad, we got gang ties

Been around it since young, how many opps did we make change sides?

Sick of seeing them hit legs, I was tryna see face time

My young boy will do it in Slazenger

Broad day, coulda hit Habibi

Hand ting spitting with a silencer

Have all the opps wishing that they could lip read

Feds tryna grip me

All of this whispering into the mic got me feeling like Dimzy

Tryna dodge Obbo

In interview room more times than Mrs Winfrey

Sure, we could be here today and gone tomorrow

Turned mainstream but bro still fuck with the white

Straight to the club, no 1 Oak

HMP, shit turned to AMG

And the passenger's my main squeeze

Why the Feds wanna give all the mandem another bird like KP

Any beef round here gets sorted

Any opp round town gets boarded

I got bricks in trucks and sticks with slugs

And it all came through imported

If you get loud, bang, distorted

Boy better duck, not jump like Jordan

Tryna put opps and spliffs in coffins

Then I'ma bath and torch this foreign

Now I got him bleeding

Done him up easy

Beat on that bitch, yeah, I did it like Breezy

In a blacked out whip with holes in my beanie

Creep up slow, make sure they can't see me

I'm on the route

Did it back then and I'm doing it now

We chalking out bodies on blocks, we losing the plot

Now, we got em all figured out

See, I'm out here

Still riding for the same side, yeah lad, we got gang ties
