Flowz Dilione - Behind Bars lyrics

All the time I spent in prison
Did it help me out? (nah)
I'm talking to these four walls
What can you tell me now
I'm burning bridges that I build these
People think I'm melting down
I've signed a deal to feed my
Family they say I'm selling out
I've been around the block before
I really lived the life (yeah)
The judge gave me five years
I really did the time
I'm sick of seeing mumzy crying
Tears up in my sisters eyes
My little brother asking why I
Promise imma make it right

I still miss my brother Jesse
And I hope he knows
I used to see his face up in
The clouds when I was smoking cones
If you're listening to this just
Know I love you bro
There's no hard feelings
Mum and dad just want you home
All these lyrics that I'm writing
They don't ease the pain
I got a couple million views but
I don't really need the fame
If I could have a normal life today
Then I would leave the game
If you want it you can have
It that's an easy trade
I don't do the gossip I
Ain't into talking loud
I had to cut some people off
I'm hanging with a smaller crowd
And they know who I am
Where I come from what I'm all about
And if we have a problem with each
Other than we sort it out
And fuck the pipe I ain't trying
To puff my life away
I left that in the past I'm
Walking forward towards a brighter day
Tears falling like the rain and
I don't wanna cry again
I hope my ex is doing good I'm
Really not the type to hate

Every day's a lesson and I'm
Learning what I can
My mum and dad raised me right and
Prison turned me to a man
She loves it when I call her Senorita
She's my biggest fan but right
Now I can't do us i hope she understands
I miss Shaff I miss Sunny
Will I see 'em soon?
The only time I ever see my friends
Is when they're on the news
I miss my brother Betsie I just
Wanna go to heaven too
I'm praying every night
God tell me what I'm meant to do
I'm waking up in cold sweats
When I sleep at night
Cause there's a lot of pain and
Anguish that I keep inside
It hurts that certain people died and
I don't wanna be alive
That's the truth I'm being honest with
You I don't need to lie
This rap is more than just a
Rolex and a Cuban link
It's supposed to make you feel at home
Just like the house you grew up in
I had a good relationship and then
I went and ruined it
She told me that she's done
With all the fighting, so she threw it in

I'm a man and I won't hide
The fact I've gotta cry
It broke my heart when Davo told
Me he don't wanna die he's only 35
And he don't wanna leave his kids behind
Rest in peace I love you bro I
Think about you all the time
Just know your boys are doing fine
I hope you looking down and smiling from
That place up in the sky
I'll be there in a little while
Just know your boys are doing fine
I hope you looking down and smiling from
That place up in the sky
I'll be there in a little while
I ain't trying to die young like my mates did
I wanna live a long life with my bro Riv
Cause where we come from no
One really makes it
I've got my eyes set up on
The prize and I won't quit
When I was young I was bummy I had no cash
I used to rack all my clothes I was broke as
Weighing up buds at Larenzos mums
Back then I was sticking up
Dealers with my bro Shav

I've come a long way from
My house up in Monmouth
Stoned every day blowing out them bong clouds
No doubt I was hanging with the wrong crowd
I went to jail
Came home look at what I've got now
New car, old friends, same postcode
And a watch with a crown as it's logo
I'm dressed in Givenchy you're
Looking like a hobo
Flowz Dilione is my name if you don't know

Everybody wanna know what my lifes like
But that's what happens when you're
Living in the limelight
I've come such a long way
Since the Price of Life
I was nineteen, broke smoking on an ice pipe
Thinking that's cool
I ain't have no role models
My older brother put them hoses
In the coke bottles
I smoked a lot of weed and
I popped a lot of xans
Sorry mum I promise that I'll
Never do drugs again
I ain't trying to waste time
When the clocks ticking
I don't need you in my
Life if you're not driven
I praise the lord cause my
Family are god given
It broke my heart I couldn't hug
'em in a box visit all I really need is them
And a couple friends
People saying that they love me but
I know it's just pretend
When I was locked up in a
Cell they didn't love me then
It's funny how things work out
When on the other end
Drugs used to pay the bills, maybe rap could
I'm making money from my music
It's that good
Flowz 1 I'm the realest you can ask around
I had them lifers in a cypher up in Atwood
I've done the hard yards yeah
I've done the prison time
My first TV appearance I was
Up on Channel Nine
For jumping counters I was wanted
By the task force
Altona North Armed Crimes tell
Them get in line

I really come from the hood I'm a rockstar
You can see me driving round
Newy in a hot car
Or at the train staysh taking
Photos with my fans
If you talking shit behind my
Back you are not hard
I came from the bottom
So I'm gonna shine bright
Just like my dad was I'm
Destined for the limelight
And fuck the ardshays I ain't
Got no time for that
Cause, I've lost way too many
Friends to the ice pipe
When I was young I was confused I didn't
Know how to deal with all the pain
I smoke a cone until I zone out
Along the way I lost myself
Up in them smoke clouds
My head spinning like I'm on a merry-go-round
I was on prescription pills they help me
But they don't work
Seroquel it fucked my head and
Xannies make my bones hurt
When I was sick I couldn't even
Walk to go to church mumzy had to drive me
Everywhere like a chauffeur
Admitting that I had a problem
Was the first step
I had to throw the pipe away
I haven't seen the worst, yet
I ended up in prison then
Eventually my girl left
My family are everything it kills
Me that I hurt them
Just to get to sleep I used to
Have to take a few xans
I couldn't function properly on the drugs
Tell me who can
Lunch break I had no money for the food van
3 years later and I'm feeling like a new man
