humble beginnings - franklyn lyrics
[intro: franklyn]
lineage
heritage
[verse one: franklyn]
i was born to win
i’m what you call a king
fam it’s unfortunate
that bare man are fradulent
i mean all they do is force the ting
and growing up man i saw some things
like how we went from innocent youts
to the youngers delivering food
like they do when you order in
so how you gonna tell us bout struggle?
can’t tell us bout nothing really
how u gonna tell us bout humble?
when we been getting cake from early
how u gonna tell us bout hustle?
when man are pushing weight to earn p’s
how u gonna tеll ‘em bout muscles?
but still man are on arms
wе had some challenging pasts
try us? you’re having a laugh
nah, you don’t want passa and qualms
real talk you don’t want war with mine…
man just tell a brudda fall in line
them man there tell porky pies
i wonder if they ever get bored of lying…
yeah, we reside on the borderlines
some did crime on a lawless grind
me and my guys stay fortified
not by choice we were forced to fight
been trill since year 4 or or 5
and i got sick sk!lls if we’re talking rhymes
and i’m a big deal fam i want all the shine
man ah get it all in time
what we telling ’em?
[chorus: franklyn]
we had some humble beginnings
the struggle can tun you a villain
and that’s why there’s younguns on drillings
look at the slums that we live in
that’s why i hustle for shillings
won’t stop till i’m stunting n winnin’
and balling through the city
with some boys i’d give a kidney
if i hit a l!ck i’m bringing all my hittas with me
i be balling through the city
with some boys i’d give a kidney
if i hit a l!ck i’m bringing all my hittas with me
[verse two: franklyn]
i write these verses with a higher purpose
there’s substance in these lines and words
that i scribe in cursive
and if you pree the subtext, then behind the surface
you might find it’s describing the times
and it’s quite discerning
cos i’m quite observant
i’m a shining wordsmith whose life is service
fam i grew around knives and burners and trident searches
i know guys that are riding birds from some frightening verdicts
i still cry for those lying in he*rs*s cos of violent murders
we survived the worst things
in a time where survival is quite subversive
in a world so dark, had to work so hard
and grind just to line our purses
even for a minor purchase
but the hurt don’t last, so we smiled and firmed it
we got fervent hearts
now we’re flying despite the turbulence
cos our mind’s are determined
so what we telling ’em?
oh so ahead of them
low key veteran
flow needs medicine
man ah hate tho cos they’re jealous and irrelevant
can’t turn paigon and try turn friend again
i can name so many breddas that i’m better than
but everything is everything
and anything ah anyting
so much melanin
they swear it’s menacing
tryna get cheddar in and ball like bellerin
[chorus: franklyn]
we had some humble beginnings
the struggle can tun you a villain
and that’s why there’s younguns on drillings
look at the slums that we live in
that’s why i hustle for shillings
won’t stop till i’m stunting n winnin’
and balling through the city
with some boys i’d give a kidney
if i hit a l!ck i’m bringing all my hittas with me
i be balling through the city
with some boys i’d give a kidney
if i hit a l!ck i’m bringing all my hittas with me
[outro: franklyn]
balling
stunting
i’m really performing
some brothers are bluffing
i ain’t got time for talking
or discussing
it’s either i put my all in
or it’s nothing
