Almost But Not Quite

MICHAEL (GB) ROSSI, PATRICK BARLOW

Yeah I'm ready

Oh yeah

It's leaping season

Man I'm either too fucking busy
Or too busy fucking
Every day I'm taking over
A new city stuntin'
Go and ask somebody who's
Really running our city
Who matters yeah and who really doesn't
What a pity grow with me
Pull your socks up, take a stroll with me
Something misty you can see the hole in me
Buying bottles of this shit like? no Diddy
Nah drink won't take my problems away
But my thoughts overload and
My conscious'll play
Someones in trouble then it's gotta be Jay
Do you like my new flows
Yeah I got them today
A vet now til 12 I was an up-comer
Got a feeling that it's gonna
Be a good summer
So much things on the hoods wish list
So I'm gonna make sure it's
Gonna be a good Christmas
Hard times June we deserve this shit
One way traffic can't swerve this shit
Grindin' for time had to earn this shit
Takes years of silence to be heard this quick
Straight up and if you're feelin' froggy
Release another anthem (leap)
They mustn't be talking money
Cos they talk to
Me an' I never seem to understand em
(Don't ask big man questions)
They won't let a man live his life without
Stress the Police I can't stand em
(can't stand em blud)
And the worst thing is these hoes ain't
Loyal but neither are the mandem
Sad but true
Bet you're screwing if that was you
Them guys that'll lie and tell
You black was blue (what boys?)
Tell em catch up now I'm not fuckin' round
This time it's clear
Sick of talkin' 'bout this time next year
You know me fam I get shit crackin'
Just take a look at me this time next year
I'm nearly 23 you feel the energy
Josh was my little bro you seen the chemistry
Feels like I got a whole leap of enemies
Now you're way back there if
You been ahead of me
Shout out Tom you hear the melody (trust me)
So nah nah don't give up for anythin'
Live yours fuck everythin'
Yeah thats life with a Y an eye for an eye
Three deaths in one year I ask why to the sky
The motorbike crashed but I ride til I die
Don't think I'm bad I'm
Just tryna' get by i smoke til I'm sober
Know I'm a soldier dealt with my shit
I never moaned to an older
Still looking over my shoulder
From a stone to a boulder
Like snow but I'm colder
Yeah fuck it man I'm great
And if your friend's on the wrong
Path put 'em on a straight
I used to want her now I got it on a plate
Is it cos I'm Jaykae or cos
I lost a bit of weight? Oh yeah

They never expected this
They never expected this for real

Listening to 2Real and things
Don't seem too real
Cos you died on my Mum's birthday
I saw her face and cried
Thinking about Alison's pain
The golden boy you played a major
Part in helping Brum shut down
If you was around Froggy would
Not I ain't forgot rIP Depz the boss
Cah we miss you bro
You're not here but you're here in spirit
Thank god Jaykae found the spirit
To put down the spirit's
Yeah that's the spirit
It's more than a lyric
This is a diary to remind
Me how I've been living
Writing but it was already written so
Don't tell me about spitting
You know like that
Find yourself in a stakeout, big ego
Confidence is frightening living that
Life with a Y private guy in the public eye
Not too social can't be social sights cah
Man have got a social life
Plus theres only so much
This could be us or niggas be like I can like
DSAW been taking advice from Kyle
And CS to read more
Read between the lines now I'm not around
Some man you saw me round before
When the helpers helping out
Who's helping the helper out?
I decided to help myself and now
I make a bit of change
Cah things have changed from back in the day
I'm climbing ladders
Go Small Heath and reason with braddas
Tryna follow but same time follow my dream
And find that balance
Shake man's hand with my right hand only
Roll with my right hand man only
You know the pattern
Dad told me this was bound to happen
Cos son you have too much talent
Now I feel like Floyd when he
Had to fight Rickie Hatton
I had a serious passion for when I
Used to listen to Serious and Passion
Now me and my mandem are in fashion
Fans rate us so they pay attention
Gal rate us so they crave attention
I feel man feeling a way
I can sense the tension
I know but choose not gas em
They want me on a Scrappy Doo vibe let
Me have 'em let me have 'em
Killin' this shit one love Deppy clap em
Still can't fathom what's
Happened it's mad
It made me realise I'm a dad
Tryna be grateful even though things
Aren't great all the time
It's make or break only a few survive
West Brom's where I reside
I do this for my ting for my fam
(don't say a word) almost but not quite
Got promoted to top flight
It's leaping season
Soon see me and my legion
Taking over your region
I'm tryna move right and
Put negativity aside
Do a good deed I'm nice
I've got a voice of course I'm gonna speak
Tell 'em if they feel froggy then
Are you mad? Yo
