 | 
| I had hate for my creator
 | 
| Only used to see him in the paper
 | 
| Mum tried to get me to stop stressing
 | 
| Looking at the front door, wondering and guessing
 | 
| Now there ain’t a thing that could make me forgive him
 | 
| Once upon a time my dad asked me how old I was on my birthday
 | 
| Man I thought he was kidding
 | 
| After that I started moving different
 | 
| I stopped ringing his phone and stopped wishing
 | 
| Started swearing in school, started switching
 | 
| Wanted to hit him
 | 
| He played basketball and chased women instead of baby sitting
 | 
| Or he’d drop me off down to Nicki’s
 | 
| She played daddy whenever he was busy
 | 
| I think I met her when I was around five
 | 
| She was my dad’s girlfriend at the time
 | 
| When I say at the time I mean that’s what I thought
 | 
| Until I heard that he was seeing about-- five?
 | 
| More disappointment, more lies
 | 
| And every excuse was shit (shit)
 | 
| Before he even got the job as a dad
 | 
| It’s like he told my mum that he quit
 | 
| When Nicki left there was no more trips
 | 
| She was sitting down with them but that stopped quick
 | 
| He was a div
 | 
| All he ever did was visit me on birthdays and bring me gifts
 | 
| Never raised me or taught me shit!
 | 
| I guess I just looked like his kid
 | 
| I gave up when my mum met another
 | 
| Who introduced me to my step-brother
 | 
| Both black but not quite the same colour
 | 
| Still loved each other like we got the same mother
 | 
| But then I started taking the mick
 | 
| Running with Bad Boys, Notorious shit
 | 
| P was the name on everybody’s lips
 | 
| Rivals, girls and even the pigs
 | 
| My fam was from Deptford living on Grove street
 | 
| That’s how I got to know the OGs
 | 
| I taught myself to stand on both feet
 | 
| And hold my head higher than a nosebleed
 | 
| First day of primary went to Deptford Green
 | 
| Late detentions every day of the week
 | 
| I got into trouble but never into weed
 | 
| I was more into backing people’s beef
 | 
| Athletic but never liked PE
 | 
| Too busy reppin as a YGB
 | 
| Year 9 rolling around with Little D
 | 
| Picked up a hobby and started to MC
 | 
| Skip a few years, 6310
 | 
| Bluetoothing everybody on the weekend
 | 
| Made a tune called «My Soldiers»
 | 
| Mentioning so many names it reunited in the end
 | 
| But still a bad boy of course
 | 
| Of my own will, nobody is forced
 | 
| It was all good, until I got caught
 | 
| Aged fifteen, found myself in court
 | 
| My fam was like «nah, this ain’t P»
 | 
| I was about to do my GCSEs
 | 
| Instead I’m in Camberwell with my solicitor
 | 
| Talking about my not guilty plea
 | 
| I didn’t know what was gonna happen
 | 
| My three years in jail could’ve happened
 | 
| And the case looked mad at the time
 | 
| The only support I had was from my mum and Sharon
 | 
| Thinking to myself «this shit’s fucked»
 | 
| Had me on tag for the whole six months
 | 
| I called my dad, sent him texts, left him voicemails
 | 
| But the guy wouldn’t pick up
 | 
| And there’s me thinking he would’ve fixed up
 | 
| Then randomly out of the blue I got a text from him
 | 
| Saying «it's gonna be alright, good luck»
 | 
| Oh my days, what the fuck
 | 
| You might as well say you don’t give a fuck
 | 
| But luckily I got not guilty
 | 
| The funny thing is I actually weren’t guilty
 | 
| I could’ve been in jail aged fifteen
 | 
| Cause this man weren’t around to guide me, you feel me?
 | 
| Only my mum could’ve healed me
 | 
| And you know what? | 
| She done a good job
 | 
| She trusted me to follow my dreams
 | 
| Instead of forcing me to go get a job
 | 
| I owe this life to my mum (Amen)
 | 
| I owe this life to my mum (Amen)
 | 
| And you can’t put a price on her love (Amen)
 | 
| But the story gets worse believe me
 | 
| I got violent, rude and greedy
 | 
| But we’d be here all day
 | 
| So I’ll save that for another CD
 | 
| For not believing in fathers we don’t know
 | 
| Tell me can you blame us?
