peaky - painting the city lyrics

[intro]
when i was younger, there was no such thing as the present
time just flew by
always moving to the next thing, always moving frwrd
and now it seems like the stars are finally aligning in my favour
but all i can do is look back

[verse 1]
cannisters concealed in my back pack;
early evenings, hopping the barriers where them tracks at
snapbacking dusty but i never could lack swag
back before the cannabis was part of my rap tracks
we used think that london was our property, honestly weren’t no stopping these
wannabe’s, window shopping, then pocketing what we wanted
brave and stupid blended together, i had no concept of consequences
expensive meant steal it, don’t get confronted
we were cr-p at being criminals though;
corrupted minds getting distant from our innocent souls;
fathers left us a while back, we’re missing them role
models, but we never moaned on it, we tried to be so solid, like romeo
only living the present, gifted with ignorance
i’d yet to start wishing my father would fly like icarus
my att-tude was liquorice sweet, kick it and sleep
in the morning paint the city a different shade and repeat

[verse 2]
skateboard flipping, spray paint dripping
begging for attention on some ray j tip and
we were wreckless, maybe forgiven, given the circ-mstances
-young, troubled unguided and not concerned with answers
[scratches]

[outro]
only living the present
wishing my father would fly like icarus
maybe forgiven…
in the morning, paint the city a different shade and repeat
