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 theres 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 lets 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 flies1989s when
I started mine
Now Im like what happened to the time?
Life can pass you buy
Just watch how fast it flies1989s when
I started mine
Now Im 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
Ive been rolling with
Dogz and Glamour
And Shotz for a year
Ive 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, Id 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 theres an album in the midst
Life can pass you buy
Just watch how fast it flies1989s when
I started mine
Now Im like what happened to the time?
Life can pass you buy
Just watch how fast it flies1989s when
I started mine
Now Im 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
MCs being cocky and rude
Then I moved to some deep concepts in my tunes
Monitor my brain waves
Tell me if
Im crazed but
I think the games changed
And MCs are opening doors in the same ways
As I did when
I was a kid,
I reach radio waves
And now Im paving the way for a fatal display
Might blaze in a haze till
Im dazedThen wave a grenade in your face17 with bars that
I regulate and generate pace
Im only scared of who my enemies face
Life can pass you buy
Just watch how fast it flies1989s when
I started mine
Now Im like what happened to the time?
Life can pass you buy
Just watch how fast it flies1989s when
I started mine
Now Im like what happened to the time?19
Showing strength in the booth
Now its time to prove what
Devlin can do
From the very first time
Iever crept on a tune
Ive 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
Im not a gangster rapper
Devs, I just spit it real
Youre an
MC like C difficile
I look skinny cause
I keep on missing meals
Ill get cold like you know how frigid feels
No children, sticking them rigid still
I guess my lifes *** *ed up
But Im only nineteen
And Ive got a lot of living still
Life can pass you buy
Just watch how fast it flies1989s when
I started mine
Now Im like what happened to the time?
Life can pass you buy
Just watch how fast it flies1989s when
I started mine
Now Im like what happened to the time?
