I did it, I did it
I did it, I did it
I did it, I did it (uh)
I did it, I did it (yeah)
I did it, I did it (uh)
I never expected it
Mum wants a new kitchen, I can credit it
Came from a shared kitchen, room had one bed it
Country in war, one chance, she jetted it
When she looks back now way shes regretting it
Left everything for her son to be getting it
Always had dreams about buying her council house
One day to start letting it
Then I said yo I can do way more
In England, they would call us poor
But in Africa we was rich, thats what they thought
Know Im gonna win and I didnt come up off a draw
I was lucky in life cause I picked the right straw
If you watch Dave youre gonna see my face of course
Also I was with Dave on tour
Had foresight doubled the vision and eight more
I did it, I did it
When I was feeling down and out
I did it, I did it
But then my times are over now
I did it, I did it
I told my mum Ill make her proud
I did it, I did it
I did it, I did it
Its funny how
All you man are moving young
My ex done hit me up and no luck
I dont wanna sort it out, like
Whats that about
Now I got a little cash and clout
Uh, they wanna show me love and catch up
You could drop me out
Back then I was just up on the daily
Stations really do wanna play me
But now I sing my song
And them lot have to pay me
I love it, I love it
Then I can say I done it
Not when Im feeling down and out, Im sorry
I did it, I did it
When I was feeling down and out
I did it, I did it
But then my times are over now
I did it, I did it
I told my mum Ill make her proud
I did it, I did it
I did it, I did it
I did it, I did it
When I was feeling down and out
I did it, I did it
But then my times are over now
I did it, I did it
I told my mum Ill make her proud
I did it, I did it (uh, yo)
I did it, I did it (uh)
If you wanna do something different, they say you cant do it
Use their energy to charge you up so you pursue it
Kill it, you can get to the top if you slew it
And one day theyll be like, 'Yo man, I knew it', uh
Its funny how the tables turn
Your bad vibes fuel the fire make it burn
For every screw face you felt thats stern
Do a big fat smile and itll make em gurn, uh
Cause you could never stop my good vibes, the hood lies
Fam youre more scared of a road man than the roadman
When you cross do you look twice?
Dont let em hold you down cause what you look like
The medias gassing their brains, we seen em cook minds
Realize that were all the same in the inside
I aint left change cause we got a lot to put right
Be who I am, see, I did it, it took time
I did it, I did it
When I was feeling down and out
I did it, I did it
But then my times are over now
I did it, I did it
I told my mum Ill make her proud
I did it, I did it
I did it, I did it
I did it, I did it
When I was feeling down and out
I did it, I did it
But then my times are over now
I did it, I did it
I told my mum Ill make her proud
I did it, I did it
I did it, I did it
And I was feeling down and out
But then my times are over now
I told mama Ill make her proud
