On My Life - Wretch 32

I wrote this staring at Adele, wonder if I’ll touch that money

LV clutch, I’m just trying to clutch that money

In cahoots with the Coots, you should want that from me

Cost to write a will and they want that from me

Meningitis killed my nigga, he weren’t your average joe

Death’s getting closer, I feel he’s hands on my throat

Throw me in the deep end and you’ll find me paddling home

Was lost for a second, it’s just my Madeleine flow

I looked death in the eyes wearing Gazelles

Staring at the heavens, we’re already in Hell

If all else fails, I can’t do anything else

Niggas claiming they’re a dozen

They’re really twenty to twelve

That’s forty and faulty, at 16, I had door keys

Gassed up, record me

Young nigga shit, saucy

On my mamma I’ma make out the slummer

I’m getting fed up of them running down my runner

I’ll be selling white to my colour

If it ain’t one problem it’s another

So I bought a hundred shells for a oner

And you can bargain with your life if you wanna

One step when I shoot, no run ups

One step when I shoot, I’m a gunna

Told you niggas twice on my life, on my life

I’ma take a life on my life, on my life

I might be late, bitch, I might

All my niggas left, looking right

Ambidextrous with it, you can get a shot, get a tetanus with it

Say they do or die but they’re verbal with reply

When I took that niggas pride got a necklace with

You can buy it back but it won’t be half the bread

From the same school but you didn’t know me after then

Sat down for some grub but it was only half a Z

Now I’m on curfew, it feel like Covid after 10

Passion been replaced with anger, I’m on my Jays

Co D caught on the camera, he got a case

Felt like Tony Montana before the raid

Every trip took me two steps back and I’m in the cage

Better have my back when I’m tryna hit the belly

I ain’t rolling with a circle full of clowns

Nigga got a lion in my pouch

Every time I hear a roar I get aroused

On my mamma I’ma make out the slummer

I’m getting fed up of them running down my runner

I’ll be selling white to my colour

If it ain’t one problem it’s another

So I bought a hundred shells for a oner

And you can bargain with your life if you wanna

One step when I shoot, no run ups

One step when I shoot, I’m a gunna

Told you niggas twice on my life, on my life

I’ma take a life on my life, on my life

I might be late, bitch, I might

All my niggas left, looking right
