Looks like i'm loosin friends
 There's a lot of hostility in my endz
 We used 2 argue, always make other new friends
 Now we settle disagreements with the skenz
 Looks like i'm loosin mates
 There's a lot of hostility near my gates
 We used 2 fight wid kids 4rm other estates
 Now 8 millimetres settle debates
 Looks like i'm loosin sight
 Coz i'm lookin at the future, it ain't right
 So i look out my window, pray every night
 I thank God 4 my friends but they ain't tight
 Looks like i'm loosin hope
 Coz i climbed dis mountain widout rope
 But i know i'm the captain of my boat
 So i steadily sail and hope not 2 float

 But its a Brand New Day
 New opportunities, wot can i say
 I plan 2 make my pay
 But put sum away 4 an offkey day - [x2]
 Demand, collect, cash upfront and direct
 Pay money, pay respect, don't insult my intellect [x2]

 [Verse 2:]
 When we ain't kids no more
 Will it still be about wot it is rite now
 Like fightin 4 anything, anytime
 And actin widout a care anywhere
 When we ain't kids no more
 Will it still be about wot is rite now
 Like backscams, street robbery
 Shottas, plottas or HMP
 When we ain't kids no more
 Will it still be about wot it is rite now
 Pregnant girls who think they luv
 Useless mans wid no plans
 When we ain't kids no more
 Will it still be about wot it is rite now
 Coz negative signs jus keep showin up
 Sum of us betta jus start growin up

 [Verse 3:]
 When i look at my life i can't help but think
 Coz i could hav resorted 2 [bad word] and drink
 Everyday was the same as the day b4
 We were neva quite sure of wots in store
 Everyday i wke up i can't help but feel
 I'm certain of life, i mean dis is real
 Mouthfuls skippin round my head like dancers
 I know its wrong 2 question but i need answers
 Da whos, da wots, da hows, da whens, da whys
 U can look in my face, u c da pain in my eyes
 Tears ready 2 fall like the rain in the skies
 But i hope dat i put my feet down and rise
 Coz guys wanna test my words
 So i can't jus cater 4 2nd and 3rd
 Plus i know predators only go 4 the weak
 And dats long so i gotta stay strong
 Get me !
