Reinvented

I reinvented myself

Can’t repeat the same mistakes is what I said to myself

When everybody left me stranded I was there for myself

Looking in the mirror proud like I’m here for myself

For real I came and saw,

Hope my son don’t imitate my flaws

Far from perfect and I’ll be the first to name my faults

See everything disintegrate from the case I caught

Cold cell time to face my thoughts

You see the lane I’ve forged, heavy burdens and I paid my cost

Frontline had to gain my props

I really went to war with killers, really used to pray for warmer dinners

You know the saying what makes us strong is never gonna kill us

I want my flowers while I’m still here

Party at my funeral, no I wanna see tears

Celebrate my life dressed in all white,

Tell the DJ keep my records playing all night

I go into a trance when I prophesise

My life’s mad, I can’t break it down I just hypothesise

Yeah I used to kill the down when I dropped the price

Lock the spot, ran them breddas off and we cut the ties

I reinvented myself

Can’t repeat the same mistakes is what I said to myself

When everybody left me stranded I was there for myself

Looking in the mirror proud like I’m here for myself

I remember when they cut the lights

We used candles just to light the rooms

Empty cupboards, felt like life was doomed

Always knew that I’d be out there soon

Thinking ‘bout my future, will I even see 21

Or will my life fade back to black, on an Amy one

Bullet wound in my arm, yeah he gave me one

Had to scratch him out, that’s how the game is won

You don’t know the half, I can’t trust him I don’t know his heart

Sister told me keep your head up, yeah I know it’s hard

Got my sentence, judge really had no regards

Was thinking that I’ll never go to yard

But despite the journey, I made it here on my own accord

Got a title in my name, I’m an owner dawg

Who’d have ever thought this kid was gonna hold awards

Hold on let me lower my sword

I reinvented myself

Can’t repeat the same mistakes is what I said to myself

When everybody left me stranded I was there for myself

Looking in the mirror proud like I’m here for myself
