Gm7 F Eb Dsus4 D

[Verse 1]
  Gm7
Glass half empty, waking from dreams, chasing my fears

I ain't never cried so much tears in all these years
F
 Success brings more stress, my vision's clear

But from when I was 2020 my mother weren't in arrears
Eb
 Big S class, leather chairs, I'm in the rear

Driver don't stop at all, but Buju blares
 Dsus4
Makin' dough but my bro's having a mare
        D
But as soon as bread bakes, it breaks my brothers, bless
Gm7
 I would keep him in my prayers, but I don't pray

I put my hands together but it's more like Birdman these days
            F
I ain't ever wayne'd a brudda, that's a major uh-uh

I ain't ever take another from a native brother
         Eb
I swear had a conversation with Claire, the realest, yeah

It's funny how you don't know they're there until they're there
 Dsus4
Hope that touring ain't takin' too much toll on the kids
          D
But your fella, that's a real good fella, I need him there
          Gm7
Tryna take the clique legit and not to bait West End clubs

'Cause playing roulette with the roads, the odds are stacked against us
       F
Anyway, tempt fate not by who says luck will share

Can't keep leaving the yard breaking a leg
 Eb
Cotch and Pop ciroc on the block with Jus D

Kai got youts on lock will set speed
 Dsus4
Love, that's a dangerous thing
               D
You pinch me? Hymn sheet

And a cheap black suit for them chiefs
            Gm7
You gotta know the levels, you gotta know the kettles

You gotta know the factory settings from the frozen bezels
            F
Yeah, I know the curry goat just like I know Sorrento

But you gotta know the roasted cod set on a bed of lentils, huh
Eb
 Long nights, cold white wine, that's Sancerre

Eye contact with the cheers, that's young stare
 Dsus4
Rare rapper, no compare with no breh
D
 No pen, no comment with no fed
 Gm7
Dreamt of Monte Carlo, blow a likkle hard dough

I just blew your little Prada's on some fish at Nando's
         F
I ain't never been a Pablo, I been working hard bro

We need to stop the two-tone Cartiers at mummy's yard though
      Eb
I know road man, used to diss a man for leasing cars, no

If it don't appreciate the value that we nah own
Dsus4
Used to be a Barksdale man, but now I fuck with Marlo
 D
You can't fuck with my throne you little fucking arsehole
            Gm7
'Cause I'm royal


[Bridge]
          Gm7
And I be getting so much money on the road
                    F
Rich, think I need a pay cut
                                                                       Eb
'Cause some Babylon boy wan' cuff me in the streets and lock me in a station
                                                                         Dsus4
I heard that it cost to be the boss, guess I'm lucky that I'm bludclart James'd up
                                            D
Patterned that from day dot, middle finger raised up, fuck you little haters yeah


[Verse 2]
                                    Gm7
Babylon boy, look how they raided Stormzy

This is Cristal, not a case of 40's
F
 The don't wanna see us off estates with all these

Young, rich Morley, still eatin' Morley's
  Eb
They want more Campbell's and less Gordy's

I just turned down a hundred G, bossy
Dsus4
 Whip too much raunchy too much saucy

Vroom, vroom, vrooming up the A40
              Gm7
Pussy telling porkies, tried to assault me

Musta been a big plot to extort me
F
 Now the prosecution wanna crown court me

Might have to sit down but I'ma stand tall G
     Eb
I create history, they try to distort V

Grade for the credit but they six foot me
         Dsus4
Rather that than graves for the chains and some shit jewellery
            D
Only my guys and flies on the wall

Can tell the kid's story this probably
 Gm7
Last track he got the Richard Mille

Now, thingy just got guilty for the thingy
 F
Heart fucking bleeds for the kiddy

Anything he needs, it's no biggie
 Eb
Mandem know I do it for the city, that's an understatement

Paying me the utmost respect, that's still an underpayment
Dsus4
 Whisper all my props in my ear, it's never public ain't it
 D
Fuck your greatest, how many times must I hush the haters?
Gm7
Tell us something 'bout our music now, oh, you so proud
                                                         F
Lethal laughing to the Coutts account, now you approve of Pow

Never had a silver spoon in mouth, now mummy's super proud

Couple new trophies for the house that I could do without
 Eb
Fuck a nomination, I just go for the suit

Handful of friends, that's why I go for the coupe
    Dsus4
Manoeuvre through the game 'cause I grew from the roots
     D
What D Double did for me, I just do for the youts
