VERSE 1
When I first heard that dads having a girl,
I thought a 4th child you bringin to this world?
emotions got the best i got a little vex,
gotta little tense in the backseat of his Benz.
I didn't wanna talk and it got a little silent,
we both known for short tempers that are kinda violent,
went to eat a meal and trust it was awkward,
i wondered how- we were ever gonna move forward.
told him i won't love you as our age gap will be huge
i was confused and didn't wanna know what to do
your mummy was expecting and she was nuff excited
it's kinda blurry now even when i close my eyelids
when you were born it was one big secret
you were so adorable it was hard to keep it
see we had to break the news to celine and jules
another set of siblings just as precious as you
HOOK
La La Lay
This is a ghetto lullaby
It's not over you're my
Butterfly - So spread your wings and I will help you fly
VERSE 2
yes it was hard and a shock to the system
i didnt get to know you through your years as an infant..
you moved to london and i started seeing more
things that you did and said that i started to adore
your mum was in love with everything that you did
you were her angel not just a little kid
she would brush your hair and kiss your chubby little hands
she was so excited about all her your little plans
she couldnt wait to walk you to your school
plan all the goodness that she wanted for you
no daddy everything that he can
and he's being great and being a good dad
see my little sister will never know what its like
every little girl needs a mummy in her life
im your older sister and i gotta show you care
coz you were only three for life to be that unfair
HOOK
La La Ly
This is a ghetto lullaby
It's not over you're my
Butterfly
So spread your wings and I will help you fly
VERSE 3
know your worth, see yourself as treasure
always be a leader, never fall for no pressure,
always eat your greens it will keep you strong,
you are not weak if you admit that your wrong
always be polite say please and thank you
never let a bully or bigger kid attack you
if you can solve it by talking, try to
if it dont work then know that im behind you
listen to your gut it won't lead you astray
if you dont like the game then you never have to play
keep your head up high and believe in your dreams
enjoy all the fruits but always water your seeds
you dont need to be rich, value things that are free
and if you make dough then give to charity
family first, make friends that are true
be proud of yourself whatever that you do
never steal, never lie and never gossip
try your best to show people that you are honest
and if you make a mistake its ok your only human
be mindful of everything that youre doing
i love you

I don't get mad I get destructive
Beat the beat so hard they like shay d you just fucked it
See some lippy and my hair done and get reluctant
Till i spray like a volcano that's been slept on I erupt and
Show a mc love just like their mum did its nothing
Your bluffin you do not practice what you preach your frontin
Your not a CEO and you do not own a label
You tryna eat off me and what im bringin to the table
I didn't need to show and shake my ass to get a booking
Its only my man that can get a look in
I didn't need to beg a minute fame up on the tv
I beast the mic at live shows thats how i shot my cds
This hip hop scene is movin clicky movin teams and movin shifty
I keep it movin oh so quickly too many many man but they movin bitchy
Dont wanna be queen dont wanna wear a crown
Im fit for a king even in my hand me downs
HOOK: I dont get mad I get destructive
Beat up the beat so hard they like shay you just ____ it
Do i wanna sign a music deal just to corrupt it
They like shay why you do this
Because i love it
Because I love it
I dont get mad I get destructive
Beat up the beat so hard they like shay you just ____ it x 4
Do i wanna sign a music deal just to corrupt it
They like shay why you do this
Because i love it
Because I love it
Didn't think I would rock it rock it
Did you think I would stop it stop it
Did you think you could top it top it
Got the key to game unlock it
VERSE 2
You didn't think i go hard on a beat that bangs
I been waiting on a year to really please my fans
I know a couple heads want me to cease my plans
But theres an angel on my hoodie like be nice fam
Get to the back of the line now i guess your lucks out
Spit with all my might on the mic see i rap my guts out
So proud so loud i been working hard now
Writing like a bully and my pouring my heart out
No rest for the blessed
The say no rest for the wicked
Tearing up the set so they tell me that i
Rip it spit it when i hit it
Tell your chick one minute
Shes hatin that you wanna hear me finish spittin lyrics
Tell her fall back in fact im just gettin started
Keep it underground like the dearly departed
Puttin in the work to build a name as an artist
I wanna last long not get there the fastest
Skitzo personailty will drive a breh insane
But ill keep on doing me until the heads all know my name
HOOK:
Im like fuck a foot in the door
Im on your couch feet up kicks on the living room floor
Im not no busta rhymes but they like gimme some more
And some girls they wanna love me and start up a war
You see im hard to ignore, when im part of a core, movement in the scene
Its what im channelling for, we got out ear to the floor and were handling raw
Unsigned underground its what we taking on tour
Im sick of this pop - no more of your bubble rap
If i had your funds in PR see i would double that
They ask about me when im not like wheres that trouble at
Ok i won't knock your hustle coz I love all that
HOOK
Skitzo personailty will drive a breh insane
But ill keep on doing me until the heads all know my name
