Valtini Countin Change
[Hook 1]
Everytime I'm on the booth, there's a true story being recorded
I was born to report it
22 years in this Earth, enough paper hasn't been folded
I tell my Mama as she worried: "it's cool, calm, don't worry I got this"
Never thought I'd struggle like this so let alone overcome it, shit
I'm tired of counting change, counting change
Spit my stress away, spit my pain away
Putting these records out, hoping they'll get me paid
I'm tired of counting change, counting change
Everyday I pray for some change
[Verse 1]
Two words, never will
Two things, f..cking quit
You'll never slow down my grind, unless my corpse under your feet
I know that's the spirit I've got to keep, with this mirror on top of me
Looking up to myself as an optimist, but my own life moving like an opp to me
Money problem convos with my darg, poor dreams of getting hella rich
The way things going right now, even with sex life we'd sell a bit
Can't wait for every end of the month 'cuh being patient ain't paying shit
On my last Boxing Day sales couldn't even afford to pay attention, it's a sadting...
Bench pressing all this hench pressure in my chest, huh
Dwelling hella rough in Manchester
But back in Woolwich, it was a mess bruv
What you know about... living by yourself and not feeling like you're the man of the house?
Yo...

[Verse 2]
Just called the landlord, I need one more week
Got a job but the pay is more than weakf
Mum says "U need Uni" but in this mic ting I'm unique
But it's hard to keep my dome motivated
When you starving with no food to make 'ere
Money issues? I hate to address it but it's so hard when your fridge is naked, it's a sadting
Any block-dweller tempt to serve dope
And I ain't tryna go where these others go
But a legit way out is undiscoverable, so
Should I break the rules in order to fix my life up?
You ever got to the point you would cross the road with your eyes shut? look...
I'm overly stressed and desperate
Depression tryna be best friends
My birthday just passed and I just let it pass
Because it's just another stressed day
Huh, and pricks really tryna start a hype night
Got my hands on my temper but still might fight
Shit...
Wrong place, wrong time but the right guy
'Cuh I was built to be tougher than my tough times
So always knew better than to do these dumb crimes
With all this hell in my life...
I just wonder if the devil's a lie or is he alive?
I'm tired of less friends and more opportunists
I'm tired of f..ckin' having to go through this
I'm tired of f..ckin' having noodles with tuna
I'm tired of all this struggle in the Dunya...
