san andreas mentality

bugzy malone

you know

let me take them back

watch this

and when i look back shit's changed

i remember sitting playing my computer games

san andreas had me feeling i could rob a bank

and drag a man out of his car with my bare hands

marijuana had me sitting on the clouds

so my perception was foggy

i'm not saying i was proud

to have a name in the bits

before i ever spat a bar

i made the ninja go sick

before i ever drove a car

year nine

we had a nine

it wasn't mine

fidz held up a shizzer and got time

a year down the line

i'm in a good position

the hood knows i'm a banger so i started getting high

and fidz got out of jail

i looked him in his eye

and i could tell that wasn't my nigga

it made me wanna cry

he made me feel little

for him i woulda died

but from the day he dissed me i just wasn't on his side

so i tried to stop blazing and strengthen my mind

i just wished that darkee woulda stayed on my side

then come a stroke of luck

i'm sitting in the dock

my san andreas mentality had fucked me up

and now they're tryna lock me up

my mummy left the courtroom crying so i'm looking at the man that brought me up

no we're not the same colour

i love him like a dad

and even though i diss him he's the only thing i had

so i just hope that he forgives me for the violence

i was in a bad place

seen the devil a couple times

stared death in the face

i remember sitting in that sweatbox

feeling out of place

while everybody's shouting

i was picturing my mum's face

then we arrived at that jail

the atmosphere was different

yeah i'd seen a police cell

but i'd never seen a prison

i was only 16

in a terrible position

and you wonder why

i've got a defensive mechanism

listen

i don't condone any of my past

all i know is i was young and living fast

four months down the line

i had the wing on smash

cus' i put on a size

no sign of a moustache

and then they let me out

what a beautiful day

cuh my future looked bright but the sky was grey

hah

trust my mummy to be 20 minutes late

i've just been released

left hanging at the prison gates

and then they pulled up

my little sister jumped out

mummy got emotional

we hugged for like five whole minutes

on the road home

i was feeling stone cold

cus' i had a vendetta

i'm talking an unfinished business

i'm a road guy now

hah

i'm certified

done jail

represented

held down the bits

i never sold mine out

but i'm about to set the pace

and you could see it in my face i was a lone guy now

look

i hit the road 17 with a vision

even though i'm still a teen i'm like a man upon a mission

told my marjay i'm about to use my intuition

i told darkee i'm about to try and make a million

it's a new day

and jail's just a thing of the past

fidz was chilling with darkee they was moving kinda fast

darkee had the gold chopper

fidz had the same design

and i was sitting in that bedroom thinking when am i getting mine

then me and fidz had an altercation and i swear he could see it in my face

i watched him run a mile

no one's taking my place

that's a vendetta settled now i'm in a better place

so i started hitting gym

and i was hitting those bags

plus i'm moving like tyson cus' i wanted to be him

i was bobbin' and weavin'

left couple man bleeding

but i lost determination when my coach ended up leaving

so i'm back on the streets

18 with ten grand cash

four grafters

and these times i had a moustache

and i'm big now

and in my mind i'd completed the game

i had the car

the superbike

the bracelet and the chain

but then i slowed down

how much money roll out

couple nigga's sold out

i was moving slow now

i'm sitting in my bedroom with the curtains closed just feeling depressed

i'd written hip hop heavy metal just to get shit off my chest

and when i look back shit's changed

i remember sitting playing my computer games

san andreas had me feeling i could rob a bank

and drag a man out of his car with my bare hands

marijuana had me sitting on the clouds

so my perception was foggy

i'm not saying i was proud

to have a name in the bits

before i ever spat a bar

i made the ninja go sick before i ever drove a car
