Nines, Akala - I Wonder lyrics

Zino Records uh

I wonder if my parents never met middle man
Made a killing yo I wonder will
I ever meet the 'nect
Wonder how these niggas sellout for a check
Wonder if she knows I woulda made her
Wifey if she had a better rep
Wonder why they don't wanna see me shine
Wonder will I ever leave the streets behind
So I could have peace of mind
I wonder why I love buyin' ice
Wonder how my nigga Cash and Hydro felt
When the judge gave them life
Let's go, I wonder how they cope
I wonder if my chick would still
Love me if I was broke
I wonder how all these guns get into my area
Wonder why they care about
Celebs instead of Syria
Wonder will get a L plate or get merked
Wonder why they care about
Someone else's net worth
I wonder out of all my
Tracks what's my best verse
And I wonder if them paigons know
They 'bout to get burst it's Nines

What kinda person would you have been if you
Grew up in Hampstead instead of Harlesden?
Once you grew up in High
Wycombe instead of Harlesden? Who knows
Look at the stuff you've been through
And what you're surrounded by
Your environment don't define you
But how do you transcend it?
But at the same time, you're growing
Mandem are listening to you
The youtdem are listening to you
What are you gonna do with that platform now?
That's what you wanna ask yourself

Wonder will the lord forgive me for my sins
Wonder if them lifers hear me on the radio
Or miss me on the wing
I know they wonder what kinda
Numbers my bud line do
Wonder if them broke niggas know
I was just like you
Wonder will Arsenal ever win the league
Wonder why they notice my bad
And not my good deeds
Wonder why I'm so cool with all
This weed in the base
Wonder how'd it be if I grew
Up in a different place
Free my nigga Wonder I wish he was free
I can hear them sirens comin'
Wonder if it's for me
I had my hand on a scale
When you was touchin' the remote
They don't put in work but got
Nerve to wonder why they broke
All these new niggas actin like
They grafted with me
Family member only holla when
They askin' for P
I know they wonder how I kill these tracks
It's the middle of the drought
I know they wonder how we still got packs
It's Nines

Would you be the same if you
Had the opportunity to access the
Other groups we would just naturally
Have born in time? No
What are we gonna do about that?
What can we build? Can we change anything
Or is it just set the way it's set?
I don't know
I wonder the same stuff all the time
There's a certain essence that you have
There's a certain spirit inside of you
That has to come out
That is a part of who you are as well
There's Nines and then there's Courtney
They act like the mandem on the
Street corner are the criminals
But the real criminals are in suit's and ties
Selling arms to crazy countries
Around the world
War is profitable, murder is profitable
You understand? And then they look at us
Like "Yo you people are the"
Our badness ain't nuttin' compared
To their badness
Their badness is real badness and
Our badness is joke badness
And even on the road ting
You gotta ask yourself
"Boy, year in year out the
Food gets in and out
Of the country but we ain't got no planes"
You know what I mean
And your connect's connect's
Connect's connect's connect
Who's that guy, you understand?
Illegal drugs is worth 16 billion a
Year to the UK economy
That ain't yutes in Harlesden
Or Tottenham, or Peckham, or East Glasgow
It's someone else
Somewhere else making most of that P
But there's bigger questions

Yo Nines
