Lyrics Yungen – Behind Barz
Text:
They say they wanted pain, they want it lyrically
I been through pain mentally and physically
Remember everyday me and Sam would link up
Now he’s behind bars literally
Now he’s behind bars looking at a bird
Rocking on the wing, gonna have to do a third
Burns me to have to watch my dawg do a sentence
But I’m here when he lands, he’s got my word
Thinking ’bout the days when bricks were phones
Youth club, me, stiff, rick and tones
As a yout’ man everything was sticks and stones
10 years later it’s all sticks and stones
So how can I be genuine
I fall for someone with a whole load of skeletons
Forgive me girl if I just wanna bone
You tryna get a baby crib, I just want a home
My mum would lie about not having paper
But she was smoking trees in Jamaica
My big sister famous but I hate her
How could you leave your little brother on his face ah
Living life while I was struggling to live
We grew up together but now your struggling to give
No shit, you ain’t even my sister actually
Cause that just showed me blood don’t make you family
I couldn’t give a fuck about reputation
Gotta see it to believe, fuck speculation
I just wanna get my family out the hood
And I’d die for that, that’s dedication
In this fast lane, tryna make this car start
There’s someone just like you, if you’re a half-heart
Rocking on the wing, gonna have to do a third
Burns me to have to watch my dawg do a sentence
But I’m here when he lands, he’s got my word
Thinking ’bout the days when bricks were phones
Youth club, me, stiff, rick and tones
As a yout’ man everything was sticks and stones
10 years later it’s all sticks and stones
So how can I be genuine
I fall for someone with a whole load of skeletons
Forgive me girl if I just wanna bone
You tryna get a baby crib, I just want a home
My mum would lie about not having paper
But she was smoking trees in Jamaica
My big sister famous but I hate her
How could you leave your little brother on his face ah
Living life while I was struggling to live
We grew up together but now your struggling to give
No shit, you ain’t even my sister actually
Cause that just showed me blood don’t make you family
I couldn’t give a fuck about reputation
Gotta see it to believe, fuck speculation
I just wanna get my family out the hood
And I’d die for that, that’s dedication
In this fast lane, tryna make this car start
There’s someone just like you, if you’re a half-heart
We hustle hard, tryna bring maths to music
I just pray that I can make a bar chart
Never took drugs, never got buzzing
I was trapping in the golf, man I wasn’t clubbing
I used to think about death, now I don’t fear nothing
But deaths the only thing you won’t hear coming
Nightmares every night I’m on Elm Street
On the roadside, hear about jail beef
2012 man, it’s really rapping bitches
But I ain’t tryna get caught up in girl beef
Uh chicks come and go
Nah literally, chicks come and go
Instead of being stressed I’m working hard getting dough
No more hugs, no more kisses cause my ex was a ho
Lost family, lost a best friend
Repping for a dead ends, when it’s a dead end
Everybodies looking fame, tryna set trends
Yout’s are even dying in West End
For the worse man, a block can change your life
Deal or no deal, a box can change your life
You feel you’re getting left, only you can make it right
Still screaming sky’s the limit, man you can take the flight
Or you can stay on these bait roads
Me and Krept and Kone are on our way to stage shows
Them man fit in, we’re the outfit
I do whatever suits me, case closed
I just pray that I can make a bar chart
Never took drugs, never got buzzing
I was trapping in the golf, man I wasn’t clubbing
I used to think about death, now I don’t fear nothing
But deaths the only thing you won’t hear coming
Nightmares every night I’m on Elm Street
On the roadside, hear about jail beef
2012 man, it’s really rapping bitches
But I ain’t tryna get caught up in girl beef
Uh chicks come and go
Nah literally, chicks come and go
Instead of being stressed I’m working hard getting dough
No more hugs, no more kisses cause my ex was a ho
Lost family, lost a best friend
Repping for a dead ends, when it’s a dead end
Everybodies looking fame, tryna set trends
Yout’s are even dying in West End
For the worse man, a block can change your life
Deal or no deal, a box can change your life
You feel you’re getting left, only you can make it right
Still screaming sky’s the limit, man you can take the flight
Or you can stay on these bait roads
Me and Krept and Kone are on our way to stage shows
Them man fit in, we’re the outfit
I do whatever suits me, case closed
