Lyrics Mazza - Guvna B

My mum's from Ghana,
And she used to say this Ghanaian saying
That "It takes a village to raise a child."
"But you know,
We're - we're not in a village in
Ghana. " (in Ghana, in Ghana, in Ghana)
Allo Mate
Heard my man got snuffed
No lie that could've been us
God please guide all those he loved
When we feel down man, we look up
Gotta turn that pain to purpose
Life too short so we gotta merk it
Still, make mistakes but I'm learning
These hands, they're made for workin'
But they told me I weren't good enough
Still wouldn't give it up, God's got bigger stuff
Lost my confidence but had to pick it up, then I switched it up
Now I'm confident,
Not cocky - and they can try and block me but they can't stop me
Cah this is where God wants me
So I might pull up to the spot and do a mazza

I was in my yard when I heard two
Shots go off, them tings flew right past
Mum had to move us out of the council block
But we didn't move too far
So I still saw goons on the corner setting up shop
But I couldn't do that, darg
'Cos I saw dad wake up then work two jobs all for my future, yeah
So I ain't got time for the messin'
Pace ninety-nine like Fredericks
Run up with the mic no guest list
Make your head spin like Zepplin
Got me back in the block I'm investin'
Gotta get it for Steven Lawrence and Damilola
The whole of the village be on a roller coaster
Turn bloodshed into success and that's for the culture
And they and try and block me but they can't stop me
Cah this is where God wants me
(So I might) So I might pull up to
The spot and do a mazza (Mad, mad, mad)

I'm not on what dem man are on
Ain't got the P for the buss down
So you can see me with the big face Apple watch
I flip page in the Argos catalog
Never went Eton but still I battle on
A tracksuit don't make me a vagabond
For ten years I've been challengin'
Stereotypes but I guess it's not a sprint, it's a marathon
(Still) Still got the next flow and in
Death and grief still got the best hope
It's do or die when they step on the roads
They lose lives and they're sellin' their phones and then we go again
So now we gotta get in the zone and
Build bridges so the man dem can grow
And all I know is when God says yes no one can say no
So put me to the test an' watch the boy go
I hope my son knows
That they and try and block me but they can't stop me
Cah this is where God wants me
(So I might) So I might pull up to the
Spot and do a mazza (Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)
Mazza
Mazza
Mazza
I might pull up to the spot and do a mazza (Mad, mad, mad)

(So I might)

So I might pull up to the spot and do a mazza (Ayy, ayy, ayy)

I might pull up to the spot and do a mazza
