1989

I remember when

I was twelve years old

No worries in my brain with a pound in my pocket

And a chest full of smoke

I remember all the chordies we drove

We used to play football all day

And use jumpers for goalposts

And throw egg yolks at windows

To wind up the old folks

Started learning about the birds and the bees

So there's birds from my class

On their knees behind trees

My favorite

MC was Sharkey

MajorWay before

I hit one double

O threeTemptation,

Kiss 100 or

FlavaGet off from school and take

Ninety two point three

But let's skip forward in time

Seven years down the line

And it seems the spotlights on me

Sometimes

I still wish

That I was still twelve or thirteen

Life can pass you buy

Just watch how fast it flies1989's when

I started mine

Now I'm like what happened to the time?

Life can pass you buy

Just watch how fast it flies1989's when

I started mine

Now I'm like what happened to the time?15, bag of ****, bag of beers in the park

Duckin' out from

Feds in the dark

Then we appear with grass

Stains up and down my legs and arms

And with a fresh beer clenched in my palm

My bars are different class

I've been rolling with

Dogz and Glamour

And Shotz for a year

I've been steppin' up fast

I guess I got around in the bits

I was selling bags of bud

And Tales from the

CryptI met

Ghetts when

I was 14, lost touch

By 16, I'd linked up with

Ghetts again

Rolling with

The Movement

And started doing sets for them

Mercston,

Scorcher,

Unique and

Wretch and 'em2006,

I was 17 when

I finished my first solo

CDBut this time there's an album in the midst

Life can pass you buy

Just watch how fast it flies1989's when

I started mine

Now I'm like what happened to the time?

Life can pass you buy

Just watch how fast it flies1989's when

I started mine

Now I'm like what happened to the time?

By the time

I hit 17I was the coldest younger on the scene

With bars you never heard and flow you never seen

Before I come around it was cock it and shoot

MC's being cocky and rude

Then I moved to some deep concepts in my tunes

Monitor my brain waves

Tell me if

I'm crazed but

I think the games changed

And MC's are opening doors in the same ways

As I did when

I was a kid,

I reach radio waves

And now I'm paving the way for a fatal display

Might blaze in a haze till

I'm dazedThen wave a grenade in your face17 with bars that

I regulate and generate pace

I'm only scared of who my enemies face

Life can pass you buy

Just watch how fast it flies1989's when

I started mine

Now I'm like what happened to the time?

Life can pass you buy

Just watch how fast it flies1989's when

I started mine

Now I'm like what happened to the time?19

Showing strength in the booth

Now it's time to prove what

Devlin can do

From the very first time

I ever crept on a tune

I've immensely improved, the attendance is due

Original spitter, not remnants of you

Swear I can see success in my view

Crazy what letters in a sentence can do'

Cause my lyrics are the

Only thing sending me through

Kanye called me a gangster rapper

I'm not a gangster rapper

Devs, I just spit it real

You're an

MC like C difficile

I look skinny 'cause

I keep on missing meals

I'll get cold like you know how frigid feels

No children, sticking them rigid still

I guess my life's ****ed up

But I'm only nineteen

And I've got a lot of living still

Life can pass you buy

Just watch how fast it flies1989's when

I started mine

Now I'm like what happened to the time?

Life can pass you buy

Just watch how fast it flies1989's when

I started mine

Now I'm like what happened to the time?
