Against All Odds

[Verse 1] I was raised in a city with no heart Where there's no car Stepping when it comes to be getting that dough fast I'm a hustler I'm a, I'm a hustler Raised on the battle field, born as a sufferer Before I had a deal I was still stacking deals Get punked sell food to the customers Now I get love crews in the back o' the S class Dem can't move like dat y'na (I was raised in) I come from where man were done for hardly nothing You can see it in the news than I'm hardly fronting Got kids with guns in the heart of London Bullet proof vests like half a hundred There's no actors and actresses barely around here Niggas stashing them straps in mattresses Soon as you exit Stanstead you might see... [Verse 2] I was raised in a city when they was out blazing the Philly I was on the 5 bus chasing the titties At the back of the class undoing bras with a stiffy Tenisha, Testa, Lesly and Richie It's a cold, cold world Gangstas living in a po po world So I'm in Koko with a go-go girl Escaping reality that I know so well But when you a kid you don't know better Boys find trouble tryna find that cheddar Money breeds envy, might get set-up When pockets get empty, niggas get jealous Killa done told them, "Boy, you?????" Landed in water [?] stretching that ketchup from the south of the border North, west to east, there's nothing round here Got to see it to believe it [Verse 3] Baby just because I'm a Londoner Now I love London town But London's foul, London's a merry go round A cycle of life full of ups and downs Coz up till now we could of never won With the odds against us a million to one See the Winter's messy but they get silly in the sun Don't fight says Jordan, nine milli in his [?]
