Straight facts

When I was sky high not many of you wanted to see me fall

When really they were just using me including my skrilla too
So look who's laughing now because it definitely ain't me

With all the money I owe out, I could own me another key
Instead I sold the house I lived in 'cause I was working for free
My friends were looking at me for help when I couldn't help myself
And labelled me a no one when the label put me on it's shelf
I weren't eating properly and they could see I wasn't well
Still all they seemed to care about was my wealth
Fuck my health
See the Tinnitus thing I have, has always put me through hell

I blame myself for being ignorant and opening up

Mum's got her own key but she prefers it where we started

Why would I smash my own gaff up when my yout's are in the back
I'd be mad if I sat here tryna' justify every article
I've already been chewed up and spat out into little particles
Even though I'm sensitive and a softy at heart
All I hear is 'rip them apart 'cause there ain't nobody as hard as you'
Easily antagonised, when I hear a bag of lies
Everyone's got a past, only difference is mine's glamorised
Talk about being terrorised, like say I'm gonna fall back
