Devlin - Letter To My Boys lyrics

As my head spins, I don't know
How this slide show had the time to grow
I was too interested, on living life alone
Running through the manor
Chasing money, chasing slappers
Man, doesn't really matter
I'm just trying to make this happen
Here's a letter to my boys

Out to everyone I ran the streets with
You know more so, that this here is deep shit
Me, Wilsey and Dulph, inside of a cheap whip
Or in the park in a
Friday night with three chicks
Or up Lenny's, before he had the belly
A few less scars too
A bit less rough and ready bags it out
Trying to earn money bags already
Face is in the place
Back when Grav's yard was heavy
Joe, gave me half O, see me start slow
Freestyling in his Dad's flat with Gurdack
Then he disappeared and never
Thought to turn back up to jackos
See my wrist slashed my glass smashed
When little Guiness was as quiet
As a field mouse
We would've stole your car and
Probably burnt the fields down
When i was bigger than my little brother
Heathway to Princes
There's too many names to cover

As my head spins, I don't know
How this slide show had the time to grow
I was too interested, on living life alone
Running through the manor
Chasing money, chasing slappers
Man, doesn't really matter
I'm just trying to make this happen
Here's a letter to my boys

As it grew
I feel i got a fraction older quicker
I felt lonely inside and
Maybe slightly bitter
Start writing, told myself I'll be a spitter
Then I met dogs and Mikey
And the Picture figured
Too people i could click with
On an older level mike saw the full pattern
Dogz could see the rebel
At just fifteen I resurrected my
Whole crew from hard times
Young and on this mad vibe
Then we met Deepz and Cozzie
And we brought em in
Along with Benson and Meye
I Knew from my sides
Back in '05 when we used to smoke and drink
Fifty kids on Broad Street
On the corner pissed
Way back when there was meat upon my bones
A shoe lace around my neck
Held my keys and phone
Heathway, to Lego Flats
Chequers back to Valence House
We represent it to the
Fullest for our habitat

As my head spins, I don't know
How this slide show had the time to grow
I was too interested, on living life alone
Running through the manor
Chasing money, chasing slappers
Man, doesn't really matter
I'm just trying to make this happen
Here's a letter to my boys

Deeper had two friends, called Mike & Wes
My boys now
We share a bag and light the blessed
Wes knew Ghetts, I Met Ghetts at Manor Park
In the youth club with Hastie
And we sprayed some bars
Three years prior, Rest In Piece, Haste
Remember days he used to
Run around the Heathway
But, I don't get to see
Your face into these days last craze
Will I make it through this blind rage
Ghetts started showing love
And really understood
Though I was better than fucking good
He ran the hood
Behind the mic, just like we still do
Danny C's was too expensive
We moved to Lew's
Who by the way, I forgot to say
I met when I was 13
I knew his brother 'Blaze'
From Romford to Victoria Road
We used to spray bars on the old mic
We're jumpy records played so

As my head spins, I don't know
How this slide show had the time to grow
I was too interested, on living life alone
Running through the manor
Chasing money, chasing slappers
Man, doesn't really matter
I'm just trying to make this happen
Here's a letter to my boys
