1000 Bars Of Pain - Star One, Big Narstie

A real G, God-blessed with a humble heart

Fam I was born through pain, to my mother’s arms

I never got inside the game with a lucky chance

Had a lot of bad hands, all talk, but I played my cards

I was a pup who started rollin' with the wolves, now it’s pain fam (rah)

I became a dog

See I started writing pain in a nitty’s yard

Life went upside down, it happened really fast

And you, you must think that I mean bike

When I say, that I handle bars

I’m a pro, real talk, no amateur

A L Blue Gang my whole team is blue like Avatar

Bang the stick, don’t snitch, get rich, I told man

Brixton’s in this bitch

Tings get sticky cah especially in Bricky cah

Greedy man wan' put their hands in your cookie jar

Same way I came into the world is the same way that I’m leavin'

Covered in blood kickin' and screamin'

I’m going for the money but I need a higher meanin'

I’m smokin' all the weed but I need a higher feelin'

Is this my reality?

Tell me that I’m dreamin'

Walkin' on the road to hell, I know this place too well

I’m on my face the only help I got my fuckin' girl

I’m a leader, not a Libra, but I am on the scales

I’m the master of the neck and my fam’os got the Babybel

I had a hole in my back and I was fucked

Still I’m on the roads tryna' make a sale

Plottin' and schemin' and a lot of dodgy dealin'

Fam there’s evil all around me, I can see demons on the ceilin'

Knowin' that my daddy’s gonna die, no lie

Yo this pain it’s got me cryin' like a baby teethin'

Pain overload famo I can’t control my feelings

Free bro, free Josh I can’t wait to see them

Man sayin' 'Narst why ain’t you blown', it’s not a mystery

Only thing stoppin' me fam is the consistency

Now Imma' consistently, shit on you niggas

Been puttin' out work, and flippin' out dirt

If not fam, I could be eatin' corned beef for Christmas

Jehovah is my witness

Swine flu, I told man

My flow, it’s a sickness

I wanna do the shows, but I don’t know the business

What’s the big difference between forgivin' and forgiveness?

They’re not on beef they’re on peace like Hari Krishnas

Talk sixty raps to give me and my mummy Christmans

So here’s a rebel with a cause, here’s a rebel with remorse

Here’s a rebel that will beat metal and make you to a corpse

Only way we gettin' out the hood is music or sport

From early my people we get taught

To extort and export, and violate man

I pop man’s head like a champagne cork

These fizzy drinks are tryna' have champagne thoughts, four, five, BLAU!

You’ve been kicked by a horse

Straight to the top, no changin' course, I’m kickin' off doors

For the pound and pence

I run up in your house like feds

And lick out head back

Either you’re marger or skinny or hench

My four five bullets is wedge it’s pain and rage I’m vexed

These niggas better pass me cheques

Last of the Mahican’s I’m the hardest left, damn right I’m the hardest

I’m fat and sexy that’s my niche on the market, I’m laughin'

These other MC’s, I’ll par them, flows skippy I’m going right past them

Ride out do dirt for the dogs them, BANG

Now I’m a marksman

Climb the ranks;

soldier, corporal, sergeant

Engage the enemy

My strip is a battlefield

Hold the line, hold the line

Fire at will and engage the enemy

Go to war with a spliff and a Hennessy

I’m livin' in hell but fam, I’m tyna' stay heavenly

Step up the levels I claim for the bit that I shine

It’s peak for the levels of ISP, for the metal may fly

Only God knows the life I chose and rose my soul to fry

It’s skull and bones, black and chrome no snitchin' and hope to die

So cross my heart and hope to die, every level I climb transform like Optimus

Prime

I’m stuck in the grind with nothing but pebble and shine

Man will take what’s mine from SW4 to SW9, Blue cuz 3 Banja die!

Pain!

I told man

It is due, time
