| I wonder if my parents never met
|
| Middle man, made a killing yo I wonder will I ever meet the 'nect
|
| Wonder how these niggas sellout for a check
|
| Wonder if she knows I woulda made her wifey if she had a better rep
|
| Wonder why they don’t wanna see me shine
|
| Wonder will I ever leave the streets behind
|
| So I could have peace of mind
|
| I wonder why I love buyin' ice
|
| Wonder how my nigga Cash and Hydro felt when the judge gave them life
|
| Let’s go, I wonder how they cope
|
| I wonder if my chick would still love me if I was broke
|
| I wonder how all these guns get into my area
|
| Wonder why they care about celebs instead of Syria
|
| Wonder will get a L plate or get merked
|
| Wonder why they care about someone else’s net worth
|
| I wonder out of all my tracks what’s my best verse
|
| And I wonder if them paigons know they 'bout to get burst
|
| It’s Nines…
|
| What kinda person would you have been if you grew up in Hampstead instead of
|
| Harlesden?
|
| Once you grew up in High Wycombe instead of Harlesden?
|
| Who knows, look at the stuff you’ve been through
|
| And what you’re surrounded by
|
| Your environment don’t define you
|
| But how do you transcend it?
|
| But at the same time, you’re growing
|
| Mandem are listening to you, the youtdem are listening to you
|
| What are you gonna do with that platform now?
|
| That’s what you wanna ask yourself
|
| Wonder will the lord forgive me for my sins
|
| Wonder if them lifers hear me on the radio
|
| Or miss me on the wing
|
| I know they wonder what kinda numbers my bud line do
|
| Wonder if them broke niggas know, I was just like you
|
| Wonder will Arsenal ever win the league
|
| Wonder why they notice my bad and not my good deeds
|
| Wonder why I’m so cool with all this weed in the base
|
| Wonder how’d it be if I grew up in a different place
|
| Free my nigga Wonder I wish he was free
|
| I can hear them sirens comin', wonder if it’s for me
|
| I had my hand on a scale when you was touchin' the remote
|
| They don’t put in work but got nerve to wonder why they broke
|
| All these new niggas actin like they grafted with me
|
| Family member only holla when they askin' for P
|
| I know they wonder how I kill these tracks
|
| It’s the middle of the drought, I know they wonder how we still got packs
|
| It’s Nines…
|
| Would you be the same if you had the opportunity to access the other groups we
|
| would just naturally have born in time? |
| No, what are we gonna do about that?
|
| What can we build?
|
| Can we change anything, or is it just set the way it’s set?
|
| I don’t know, I wonder the same stuff all the time
|
| There’s a certain essence that you have
|
| There’s a certain spirit inside of you that has to come out
|
| That is a part of who you are as well
|
| There’s Nines and then there’s Courtney
|
| They act like the mandem on the street corner are the criminals
|
| But the real criminals are in suits and ties
|
| Selling arms to crazy countries around the world
|
| War is profitable, murder is profitable
|
| You understand?
|
| And then they look at us, like «Yo you people are the…»
|
| Our badness ain’t nuttin' compared to their badness
|
| Their badness is real badness and our badness is joke badness
|
| And even on the road ting you gotta ask yourself
|
| «Boy, year in year out the food gets in and out of the country but we ain’t got
|
| no planes»
|
| You know what I mean, and your connect’s connect’s connect’s connect’s connect
|
| Who’s that guy, you understand?
|
| Illegal drugs is worth 16 billion a year to the UK economy
|
| That ain’t yutes in Harlesden, or Tottenham, or Peckham, or East Glasgow
|
| It’s someone else, somewhere else making most of that P
|
| But there’s bigger questions…
|
| Yo Nines |
