How you gon' act when the cameras flash?
Would you strike a pose?
Would you double back?
Can you withstand the pressure?
And how you gon' move when all eyes on you?
Could you walk a day in my shiny shoes?
Can you withstand the pressure?
Keep your heart, coach
Play your part
Even when it's hard
Don't let 'em take yo' heart from you
Many men go missing, missing
Friends might get to switchin' on you
Twitter fingers, sneak dissin'
Back-stabbin', incision
Brothers I would ride for
I don't know their new addresses
Mothers I would cry with
Even though I know who did it
Secrets I might diе with
Couple masks I slide with
Way beforе the virus
Way before the millage
God knows I been tryin'
Gettin' every night in
Mama told me, "Patience is the key"
And she weren't lyin'
Done with all the cryin'
Fussin', and the fightin'
Heavy is the crown
But, I'ma wear it 'til I die
You're supposed to be the king
People still dependin' on you
Even on yo' dark days
Keep a little love inside you
Keep a little hope aside
Defend it like the back four
Even when the Devil stride
Even when your homie dies
Way before the summertime
Dap 'em in another life
Niggas die everyday, B
You'll be alright
If you stop, the money's stoppin'
And we ain't goin' back to crime
Stop all the complainin', bro
Remember that you chose this life
So—
How you gon' act when the cameras flash?
Would you strike a pose?
Would you double back?
Can you withstand the pressure?
And how you gon' move when all eyes on you?
Could you walk a day in my shiny shoes?
Can you withstand the pressure? (uh)
In 2017, I had a five-figure debt
In 2018, I had to find my respect
I knew my inner peace was never comfortable with less
2019, my compliments to the chef
I'm cookin'
Season with a little bit of luck
2020 came
I made a mill' before lunch
Took my family shoppin' for a house out in cunch
Inna real life
Show you what it takes
But you won't know what it feels like
To hold this kind of weight
And still walk with your head high
My noose was gettin' looser
Every time that I took a step
Money came in faster
Than I knew what to do with it
From young, I got conditioned
Like a movie from Kubrick
To think it would be clockwork
But I wanted some stupid shit
Fell in love with pussy
And Patrón on my lonely nights
Gave a lot of wisdom
Wasn't takin' my own advice
I didn't get a warnin'
If we talkin' 'bout—
How you gon' act when the cameras flash?
Would you strike a pose?
Would you double back?
Can you withstand the pressure?
And how you gon' move when all eyes on you?
Could you walk a day in my shiny shoes?
Can you withstand the pressure?
My life in Ghana was alright
It was OK
But, you know, when you are in Ghana and the opportunity come
To come to England, you jump for it
Especially when my mother struggled in life
Raising her children up
So when I had a chance to come, my aim is to come
And then work hard, and look after her as well
And I came in in wintertime, which was December
So it was hard, and that time, I wanted to go back
