Headie One – Music X Road lyrics

[Intro]
I'm just tryna make the people dem proud

[Verse 1]
I ain't the type to bullshit, you know?
Been through so much through Lord, you know?
All these drugs that got sold, you know?
Encounters with the law, you know?
I had to focus on growth, you know?
Now all these people come forward, you know?
I still walk a thin line between music and road

[Chorus]
That's what I was told, you know?
They think I do juju, they think that my soul got sold, you know?
Look how a nigga can flow, you know?
Look at the jury, couldn't get a majority vote, the judge told me go home, you know?
I was in jail when me and bro reasoned 'bout rap, now I'm waitin' on bro, you know?
Loyalty first, that's still cold, you know?
I still walk a thin line between music and road
Family first, that's still cold, you know?
I still walk a thin line between music and road
To bring mum back, I'd go broke, you know?
Still walk the thin line between music and road
We're attracting some gold, you know?
Gang still do the road, you know?

[Verse 2]
For the time that I've wasted, I'm coming for what I am owed
I cannot listen to what I am told
Not long ago I was flat on my face on the floor, you know?
All of those 23 hours I rid on my own, I made serious decisions alone
She had the Phantom, nobody wanted to know that, they didn't want to be part of the glow
I was taught for loyalty, there's a reward
Got my sisters here, my family, I do this all for, you know?
And I made a remorse, you know?
See all the hard work I put in to open some doors
Now Louboutins, I gotta walk the thin line between music and road

[Chorus]
That's what I was told, you know?
They think I do juju, they think that my soul got sold, you know?
Look how a nigga can flow, you know?
Look at the jury, couldn't get a majority vote, the judge told me go home, you know?
I was in jail when me and bro reasoned 'bout rap, now I'm waitin' on bro, you know?
Loyalty first, that's still cold, you know?
I still walk a thin line between music and road
Family first, that's still cold, you know?
I still walk a thin line between music and road
To bring mum back, I'd go broke, you know?
Still walk the thin line between music and road
We're attracting some gold, you know?
Gang still do the road, you know?

[Verse 3]
My pa' went and took my mum's pic off the wall, I think he couldn't cope
Now he ask how I spend all these long nights in the cold, cah I spent a quid on a coat
I really lied when I stood up and took out an oath
Booking for trial in the morning after that long night reading a book with some oates
I was forced to go work on my growth
Now it's just music and road, man's doing up both
I was up north sportin' those prisoner's clothes
Now I'm cuttin' through Harrods just doing the most
I know all my do's and dont's
Where did the word 'loyalty' go? They're all here when you're up, disappear when you're low
I want nothing to do with these hoes

[Chorus]
That's what I was told, you know?
They think I do juju, they think that my soul got sold, you know?
Look how a nigga can flow, you know?
Look at the jury, couldn't get a majority vote, the judge told me go home, you know?
I was in jail when me and bro reasoned 'bout rap, now I'm waitin' on bro, you know?
Loyalty first, that's still cold, you know?
I still walk a thin line between music and road
Family first, that's still cold, you know?
I still walk a thin line between music and road
To bring mum back, I'd go broke, you know?
Still walk the thin line between music and road
We're attracting some gold, you know?
Gang still do the road, you know?

[Outro]
What I wasn't able to do during my recent years
My sons, daughters, grandchildren will have to do it and do it more
And God has me with that
