Hahahahaha
Uh

I wonder if my parents never met
Middleman made a killing, yo, I wonder will I ever meet the neck?
Wonder how these niggas sell out for a cheque
Wonder if she knows I would've 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 buying 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 I 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 pagans know they're 'bout to get burst
It's Nines

What kinda person would you have been if you grew up in Hampstead
Instead of Harlesden? Or if 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 youth dem are listening to you. What are you
Gonna do with that platform now? That's what you gotta ask yourself

Uh, wonder will the Lord forgive me for my sins
Wonder if them lifers hear me on the radio and 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
Uh, 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 it'd be if I grew up in a different place
Free my nigga Wonda, I wish he was free
I can hear them sirens coming, wonder if it's for me
I had my hand on the scale when you was touching the remote
They don't put in work but got the nerve to wonder why they broke
All these new niggas acting like they grafted with me
Family members only holla when they asking 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 opportunities and access that
Other groups of people just naturally are born into having? No
What 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 suits 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 nothing compared to their
Badness. Their badness is real badness, 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 connects' connects'
Connects' connects' connect... who's that guy? You understand?
Illegal drugs is worth £16 billion a year to the UK
Economy. That ain't youths in Harlesden or Tottenham or
Peckham or East Glasgow. It's someone else, somewhere
Else making most of that P so there's bigger questions

Yo, Nines
