[Intro]
Yo, GRM Daily Duppy, Avelino
Yeah, it's easy when you got AceKeyz with you
You ain't gotta feel no pain when a great beat hits you, oh
[Verse: Avelino]
Never had a name so I made one for myself
Young fire, old flame, never came up by myself
Spittin'--bars to my bredrin it's like jail up on myself
If I had to sky one, I prison break from it myself
'Cause I just saw myself on TV
Funny how you can't tell a vision till it's been screened
Money's now the reason I invest, cos I need p's
Build your own brand, you ain't gonna see Jordan in Yeezy's
The Life of Pablo, this college drop-out graduated now I'm Picasso
It's Magna Carta Holy Grail whenever I rap flows
That's what the preacher said and what my teacher said
Thinkin' caps on, I had my hat low
Wonderin' how much does it cost to be rich
They say impossible's nothin' when you come from nothin', it possibly is
But I've seen man really make somethin' out of nothin'
I was taught 'aim for a Grammy if you want your Brit'
And I told them puppy love when they said life is a bitch
But when my cuzzo came round with that green am nose I said life is the Grinch
I punch like it's the first of the month, but Wretch is still the best, he won't even flinch
It's 1-5 or I'm homeless but I was in the 1-5, homeless
And now I'm with my gangster friends rollin'
To be Frank, there's no church in this wild Ocean
Why you think I told her buss it open for a dolphin?
It's Grey Goose for my bird
Pour liquor for my nigga, let it juice on my hearse
Me and my idol just fired in the booth, oh my word
We make powerful points and excel with the words
You can't deny talent, I said my statement, I made a statement but testifying never happened
Turn your negative into positive or find a balance
I spent weekends tryna find beauty behind this madness
Back to the main flow, never had a plan b, I was born in ill manors, inspired by Kano
I just spoke to Kano who said I inspired Kano
I guess some times our call of duty ain't gotta be halo
I think my soul's gettin' richer
Just cos I ain't in the cut, don't mean I can't look up the stitcher
This is wordplay to the bladder, I take the piss
Cos I never had a pot to piss in back in Seven Sisters with my seven sisters
Ey, man I feel like Lucian Grainge
I've sold Yay now I'm tryna sell records straight
I take off but I never go
Every time I do an EP, that's short for episode
There's 3 gyal on my line, I'm with my bredrin though
And he's on some "if your friend can roll, then your friend can roll"
I don't gang-bang but if she's on it, get the friend involved
If not, I get brain then chop, I'm beheadin' hoes
Earned my stripes, now the Adidas are dope
They gave you ten bags of clothes, they gave me 10(k) for a show
Still can't believe it man, them figures ain't a joke
When your comin' from the bottom where they figured you're a joke
I'm not an East-ender and the vic isn't in my home
But I'm with real Danny Dyers that I live in for the show
You're not big round here they're on different kinds of strokes
If they took you out of coupe, how'd you think you're gonna cope?
What's education if you can't teach what you're taught?
I just made a tall order, never sell yourself short
It's a challenge and them meetings ain't a dream that I've bought
I been publishin' myself, I can penny all my thoughts
This ain't a Daily Duppy, this a fascination
Imagine your imaginary friend had an imagination
And you done a freestyle, this is the collaboration
This ain't passion, it's infatuation
Daily Duppy, Avelino, FYO
