Autobiography (Explicit)

Autobiography (Explicit) - Ghetts

Composed by：Justin Clarke Samuel/Kadeem Clarke Samuel/Rio Romaine Willis/Tj Amadi

I remember when Justin was around

Three we were at a church concert

After watching one of the performances

I turned away for a moment when I looked up

Justin my three year old

Had managed to find himself on stage

In front of thousands of people

As if he was ready to perform next

From that moment

I knew Justin would be headin'

For platforms bigger than that stage

I knew he would stand tall in this world

Started out in nasty crew

Just after dizzie rascal blew

Stanna took me jammers

I remember it was afternoon

I was still on tag then

Fresh home from Hunter Coombe

Jammer played 'destruction' to me

Told me it was coming soon

Sharky taught me patience

Marcus bought me stations

Back to back with Kano

Had me working on my cadence

Spitting in my bedroom

Nurturing the basics

While I was tryna work out

How to turn this into papers

First I clashed dimples

Then I sent for flirta D

I swear even man was singles

Couldn't end the murder spree

Every time they heard me touch

The microphone first degree

I was tryna rub these n***as out

The culture permanently

Then beef and music mixed and

Someone said I can't go out

It was on sight with S L K from

When I knocked swarvo out

Then they caught me lacking

Sidewinder Milton Keynes

I was with

I shoulda bought the

Whole of plaistow out

The second phase is

When the pressure came

Double monks and foots left

And Marcus tried to set up Kane

I told him that he's wrong for that

And I ain't with the set up games

Then Newham turned against me

Like I ain't from the ends again

Mike skinner tour

Mind's still on war

Knife with me still

I'm five figure poor

Why give in for

I'm still on form

It ain't just the deal

Why I'm in it for

My n***a pissed 'cause

I ain't been to see him

I was in the lab

Working on my tape with

Rich and Ian

By the time risky rung my

Phone I was a different being

I was taking less risk on

Road even in the P M

Outside my yard chipped tooth

Who set the levels

Mouth full of bars true stories

Check the records

Where the f**k is the awards

Who's collecting medals

Who connected dots

'Cause I connected several

People always ask me how

The movement start

First I met Devlin through a mutual spar

When I met the brother

Mercston he was moving grub

Scorcher rung me out the

Blue and showed me super love

Told me I was cold I said it's mutual blud

Then my n***a 32 came to studs with us

And we was boring through with no excusing us

Next ting I know it's

Boy better know and movement dubs

Before we was making money on the tour bus

I was tryna make a duppy with a war dub

Me versus P money that was pure crud

Tell N M E I find it funny they ignored us

All these man say they

Kings it's just self proclaimed

Don't call yourself a king you ain't helped the game

Everybody in this ting must've felt the same

All I see is complaints but

We've only got ourselves to blame

I changed grime sonically

Waged war properly

Done the impossible

Made them say possibly

All I got in exchange is n***as tryna copy me

And people that don't really

Know the culture running commentary

They didn't want me here

I had to bob and weave

You ain't self made

What kinda odds you beat

What time you wake up

How long you sleep

Me and Dominic we was obsolete

If you don't tell your

Story they gon' tell it for you

Who's on the panel that's a rebel for you

God said chill there's

Something special for you

I know you been through

Hell so I got heaven for you

If you don't tell your

Story they gon' tell it for you

Who's on the panel that's a rebel for you

God said chill there's

Something special for you

I know you been through

Hell so I got heaven for you

Before we go

I'm just making sure my story's told

Collin used to manage me

When his office was in walthamstow

Promises and guarantees

Until we didn't talk no more

I just needed clarity

'Cause I was chasing waterfalls

Darren you was watching

When channel you was popping

If I'm absolutely honest

My attitude was shocking

Wasted opportunities

Based on insecurities

Had to make a comeback

Display some ingenuity

Let's talk about my C V

Thought about it deeply

Is being great the norm

We don't talk about it really

How can I create the storm

And walk around this freely

I appreciate the tools

That brought me out of dreaming

Carly shot my videos

Danny engineered me

Simmone let the mini go

I blew the engine nearly

Marnie held me down from the day we met yearly

Anyone who helped me out

Thank you sincerely

Four minutes forty eight ya

Boy ain't finished yet

I mentioned all these names

But I ain't no one's silhouette

I done built my own brand up

So before you try and interject

Sprinkle some respect up on

My name and watch your n***a rep

Anyone who say I ain't the goat incorrect

Disrespect

Disconnect

F**k radio 5 biggest set

Name another line up since

Including chip grim and devs

Purists say I'm falling off

When they was tryna work out

What to call it I just caught the drop

When you wanna make some music slightly left

They're quick to call it soft

Call me Jack the way I'm

Jumping out that awkward box

'Cause this ain't all I got

I see what the problem is

Scene full of politics

Pride and all ego aside we could've profited

Instead it's blatant

Disrespect and behind the door apologies

But if you trigger me it's trigonometry

I disapprove when rappers

Diss with no discography

People say they want the

Truth but they settle for dishonesty

Analyze the game and all

You'll find is greek mythology

Stories with no evidence

Which inherently bother me

Industry's full up of victims of mental health

Don't forget about yourself

While you entertain the world

Can you tell if they're laughing at you

Or laughing with you

Well even Dave ain't been the same chappelle

If you don't tell your

Story they gon' tell it for you

Who's on the panel that's a rebel for you

God said chill there's

Something special for you

I know you been through

Hell so I got heaven for you

If you don't tell your

Story they gon' tell it for you

Who's on the panel that's a rebel for you

God said chill there's something special for you

I know you been through

Hell so I got heaven for you
