    Santan
    ST, look

    I see a lot of man let their jealousy creep in
    Watch who you eat with, the girls that you sleep with
    Watch who you talk with, walk with, speak with
    The first to the motives, and last to the meetings
    Huh, all I know is how to work bruv
    Start off as a worker and that's just how it works bruv
    When I was tryna work niggas never tried to turn up
    But when it's time to turn up everybody turns up
    And I don't know what I was thinking with the tweets about the searches
    But when Harry got murdered man was so emotional
    Tryna find solutions
    I had some good intentions but I guess I couldn't word them
    The life's so funny
    I got a message saying that the streets don't love me
    The streets don't love you
    If you died today they wouldn't donate to your fucking GoFundMe
    A lot of man hate me, but man can't touch me
    That's why I gotta chuckle, I'm a Poet, no Chuckie
    My mummy tryna wake me up for college in the morning
    Is the only time a human on this earth has ever rushed me
    Pshh, boy it's true
    I tell them yutes that skunk weed is gonna poison you
    All you wanna do is go and score a point or two
    It's ironic everybody's got a point to prove
    When we were young we never listened to them older man
    How you beefing man if you don't even know the man?
    Before you poke a man you man wanna expose a man
    All for some Instagram clout on exposing gangs
    So what's gangster then? 'Cause I don't really know if I'm honest
    When we were young we had dreams of being bosses
    Ballers, doctors, lawyers in an office
    So how did that turn into dropping out of college
    Snaps in a prison cell, bodies in a coffin
    London is cursed, this city's got a problem
    My bro ain't got a bird he got an ostrich, a fucking life sentence
    So don't talk about experience
    I say what I want and that's period
    My team serious
    I still got a squad full of lifers
    From Dovegate to ISIS, freedom is priceless
    And I see a lot of man tryna draw me out
    I feel the tension in the air when I walk around
    But would you rather be the person talking or the person doing all the things that people talk about?
    Scratch that, I ain't with the backchat
    My mum calls me David, girls call me Santan
    And fam, I don't give a fuck if you're a badman
    You madman, the only guy I'm dodging is the tax man
    They say that fame is a game and it's true 'cause if you say the wrong word then everybody wants to hang man
    Ask Surge about the times that I had man
    I brought the fam together like when Tommy got the black hand
    And if you got a good girl you need to keep her close
    And let her in, because the difference is
    When things hit the fan they're gonna disappear
    All them sidechicks, and all them mistresses
    All your broskis and your affiliates
    And all the man that you were standing in the pictures with
    They ain't visiting 'cause they ain't got a thing to give
    I'm a hypocrite
    But that line between stopping it and living it
    I'm sitting in the thick of it
    You would think I told my boys to come party in South
    'Cause this year I said we need to touch bigger fish
    Too many yutes are dying and I'm sick of it Writer/s: David Orobosa Omoregie, Nana Bediako Rogues
