[Verse 1:]
|
Gotta keep my head above water
|
Gotta stay head-strong, keep rolling on
|
No point getting caught in the hype is long
|
Like I don't know right from wrong
|
So I gotta be real
|
Nothing to prove, I'm still
|
Big in the hood, I feel
|
So in control, I'm chill
|
No one ain't knocking off Dill
|
So I stay top on the bill
|
I'm the main event, the headliner
|
Went from jungle DJ to rhymer
|
Never thought I would be the big timer
|
But I still par it like, yo, it's a minor
|
Cause I still rep my ends, still check my friends
|
Can I keep it up? I guess it all depends
|
If I can keep my mind right
|
Don't get tempted by the limelight
|
I think I'll be alright
|
|
[Hook:]
|
Temptation leads like your naughty mate
|
The one that used to get you in bother
|
The one you can never bring yourself to hate
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
Can't avoid the temptation
|
But I know I gotta change my ways
|
And keep my nose clean, gotta fix up
|
Take a look at my life cause I ain't sixteen
|
And I ain't no boy, ain't no kid
|
The world ain't flat and the picture's big
|
Certain things that I gotta get rid
|
And a whole lot more that I gotta get with
|
So I gotta stay and roam on my own
|
Gotta move on, I can't stay at home
|
Cause I know what's there is all the same
|
Crack, cocaine and ghetto fame
|
Cold hard cash and a bit of a name
|
And I've see it all, so I need a change
|
Lost too many bredrens to the game
|
And you could say temptation's to blame
|
|
[Hook]
|
|
[Verse 3:]
|
We used to be tight
|
Me and my naughty friends
|
Caused pure madness in the ends
|
I mean day and night
|
We robbed, we stole, we loved to fight
|
Smoking, drinking, joyriding
|
Drugs, thugs, not law-abiding
|
Reckless youngsters, no direction
|
No sign of correction
|
But then I switched it up, changed my ways
|
Got in the area like, "Oh my days"
|
But not my naughty friends, they're not fazed
|
Can't believe that this music pays
|
See no reason why we can't do
|
All the things that we've always done
|
Still in my heart I know that's just wrong
|
But it's hard to fight the temptation, son
|
|
