  • We were just kids playing in the rain
    When you threw a stone
    And you broke a window pane
    You were so afraid of what you done
    That I held your hand, little one
    And I wouldn't let you run, oh

    Like, I like the way that you're moving around me
    I went fully lidge on the day that you found me
    I know you see the killers and dealers around me
    But I grew up with gorillas, you know how the wild be
    Grew up in the ghetto, destined for a celly
    I would hustle heavy, tryna' be a legendary
    But I got a mon cheri, Julio, Dom Peri'
    Pricey boss lady
    I give old school loving like we in the 80s
    I know your friends hate me, but they just wanna love me
    I put you over money, higher when we sober
    And we higher than a stoner
    I'ma slide when it's over cah we die for the closure
    I mean

    It's us against the world (uh-huh)
    Us against the ghetto (nah)
    Us against the police
    Us against this hell (hole)
    Damn, I love you girl (oh)
    Baby, can't you tell?
    I ain't hit another sale
    I ain't bought another shell (oh)

    I'm on a very dark road, can you show me the light?
    I'm the man, I should be the one that's holding you tight
    But understand my paranoia is getting worse at night
    Cold sweats, I can't sleep, I need you by my side
    But I got errands that I gotta run, get ready if you wanna come
    My Kia, bags of washing, and I'm dropping them off to my mum
    Fill my car with petrol, it's not diesel, use the other pump
    I knew from when I seen you, you ain't nothing like the other ones
    Spilling up, so we can control the steering with my knees
    I look at you and smile and see you staring back at me
    You make me feel at ease, I'm kinda stressed so be my peace
    I really wanna leave, I hate it here, let's go to Greece
    Wait, we can go to Paris, bae, but I like it in Saint-Tropez
    I know you never heard of it but this is where the richest stay
    I don't care what you will say, I'm still gon' grip it in the States
    They know we gripping DXB, I left it 5 palm tip

    It's s against the world (uh-huh)
    Us against the ghetto (nah)
    Us against the police
    Us against this hell (hole)
    Damn, I love you girl (oh)
    Baby, can't you tell?
    I ain't hit another sale
    I ain't bought another shell (oh)

    She don't know a tip, notes, and learner fee
    Baby, I'll earn for you, daily you turn on me all crazy
    Now I made it out the hood, do you love me or hate me? (I think she love me)
    But just thinkin' there ain't enough of you, crazy
    I seen a nigga really fly away, love me in a shy way
    You know that food at home, date night, Friday
    Kind of love why they envy us
    Damn, I got gun metal for any problems
    I like the way that you're moving around me
    I went fully lidge on the day that you found me
    I know you see the killers and dealers around me
    But I grew up with gorillas, you know how the wild be

    It's s against the world (uh-huh)
    Us against the ghetto (nah)
    Us against the police
    Us against this hell (hole)
    Damn, I love you girl (oh)
    Baby, can't you tell?
    I ain't hit another sale
    I ain't bought another shell (oh)
    It's s against the world (uh-huh)
    Us against the ghetto (nah)
    Us against the police
    Us against this hell (hole)
    Damn, I love you girl (oh)
    Baby, can't you tell?
    I ain't hit another sale
    I ain't bought another shell (oh)
