I had to fight for my life, had nearly everything in it This ain't just lyrics I'm bringing, I'm giving you insight into a world that I live in Wherever you don't stand up, man up, you might as well be dead in the seat that you sit in I've switched my life from an open position, I wanted more than working and still being poor I don't need criminologists proving that young men have acted like animals lately Ain't that what you made us for? Nothing can tie up our hatred and war All I ever learned from policemen, was I had to kick through a door But I retained composure, now I can't stop till the sun burns out and life as you know it is over I used to run around town, thinking of scams and plans, now you see my face on a poster You must have thought that I was an old hoper or a joker I can't let your vision be The only path that's made for me When the sun goes down, I gotta be content when I lay my head I lay my head Until the sun goes down, on every broken time that I'm rolling around I'll have my heart in my palm and I'll show you my hand Cause no matter what happens, you won't ever see me a broken man My faculty rolls on rations, now we make dough and we share it around I can feel a change in power, now life don't seem so sour I used to sign on them right on when I told myself that I weren't gonna work till I'm old For a means to an end, one more bloody hour So, say hello to my ex-boss, he's still getting up at half five from the shower Times are crazy, in my wildest dreams as a baby I never did think that I would've been the best MC in the whole UK scene Till the sun goes down, I'ma run this town like Rihanna and Jay-Z There's no stopping me now, I'm a warrior now, I'm telling you take aim I can't let your vision be The only path that's made for me Cause when the sun goes down, I gotta be content when I lay my head I lay my head Until the sun no longer rises, the fool of mankind The change of climates, you'll find me grinding This life that I'm in, is full of surprises, but you'll still find I'm fighting Until the sun no longer rises, the fool of mankind The change of climates, you'll find me grinding This life that I'm in, is full of surprises, but you'll still find I'm fighting I can't let your vision be The only path that's made for me Cause when the sun goes down, I gotta be content when I lay my head I lay my head I lay my head I lay my head I lay my head
