One time, one time
I knew what it was to be black way before I was on the GQ cover
How you gonna question me about colour?
What you know about Nelson Mandela?
Man, I get anti as ever
Yeah, I can do serious, I can do mean
Tell a supremacist that I'm supreme
Oh, everybody's woke now, guess I'm just lost in a dream
But still, I'm predicting the future, I said this is how shit would go
The streets at an all-time high, the government at an all-time low
Politicians tryna get tickets to come to the shows
I shake hands with a long arm, never get close
Can't see me, I stay ghost, man, I move like cigarette smoke
We've been growin' apart
Been through the wars and I can show you the scars
Still on the road, I'm still on the boulevard
They should've told you that I glow in the dark
We've been growin' apart
Been through the wars and I can show you the scars
Still on the road, I'm still on the boulevard
They should've told you that I glow in the dark
They would love to see me on a pushbike pedalin' scores (Oh yeah)
18 pound 40, I was acceptin' shorts
Fast forward, see me on TV collectin' awards
One night with the gang
Now she can't understand why she used to hang around with them eediat man
I Nintendo Switch it, fam, I got the game in my hands
I'm a different species
Summertime, got a new swag for the beaches
Look in my wardrobe and it's all reference pieces
You should see how the price goes up as the money increases
I don't chill with them 'cause I can't deal with the disheartenin' speeches
When I say I'm out, then I mean it, hm
We've been growin' apart
Been through the wars and I can show you the scars
Still on the road, I'm still on the boulevard
They should've told you that I glow in the dark
We've been growin' apart
Been through the wars and I can show you the scars
Still on the road, I'm still on the boulevard
They should've told you that I glow in the dark
Oh yeah
I can be my own worst enemy
But I gotta be my own best friend
I need take the advice I been givin' to them
Man, are on a low frequency, I can't see them again
I'm on a high vibration, feeling blessed, grateful
Them man are thirsty, need hydration
Please don't compare me to them, that's a big violation
Man, I got no direction and it's showin'
See how the game can trick you without you even knowin'
We're livin' in the dark but I keep on glowin'
My mum gave me the seeds I'm sowin'
My dad gave me the tools and the water to keep them growin'
So when they tell us to go home, fam, I know where I'm goin'
We've been growin' apart
Been through the wars and I can show you the scars
Still on the road, I'm still on the boulevard
They should've told you that I glow in the dark
We've been growin' apart
Been through the wars and I can show you the scars
Still on the road, I'm still on the boulevard
They should've told you that I glow in the dark
Oh yeah
