Curtains Closed

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
They keep tellin' me "Shades, man you been quiet"
I been dealin' with my life no need to inquire
I been pullin' couple strings like I'm the choir
I poured the heat upon the beat an' then I lit the fire
But when I do my thing you know I do it right
Man are claimin' that they real but they ain't movin' right
They get left up in a ditch if they ain't movin' right
So if I say it with my chest just know I'm movin', right
An' we ain't from the same place or background
So if I make it out jus' know I'll bring the lads round
Fight for my position, raise division from the last round
Eyes are on my mission, I don't listen to these daft clowns
Actions speak louder than words to me, I rap it out
Tactic to the verse, I writ the bars an' then the track is out
Joel on the buttons, mixed down then we slap it out
They don't know my story or have a clue what Ant's about

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
They wanna know about my thoughts, up in my cranium
But to be honest I don't know what I can say to 'em
Life's been harder than hard so brudda take me in
Tryna make my Marge proud, take 'er out that place she's in
I seem 'er strugglin' puttin' food up in the fridge
'Cause Daddy weren't around, I still don't know how he lives
She played two parents, man I'm grateful for this
I'm just rappin' from the heart however painful it is
I seen my life through it's highs and it's lows
An' I'd ride for my family how I'd ride for my bros
I spent time on the roads to realise it was close
But trappin' ain't everything, just lies and holes
An' I ain't wanna fall down that
So if I ever take an L, just know I'll bounce back
They know I'm 'bout that
'Cause I was lost an' then I found that
But this is just the start of a soundtrack

[Instrumental Outro]
