Straight Facts Lyrics - Dappy

[Verse] 

When I was sky high not many of you wanted to see me fall 

I had one big ego, but I was mentally small 

I thought I was the man, telling everybody what to do 

When really they were just using me including my skrilla too 

So look who's laughing now because it definitely ain't me 

Due to all my fuckery my agent had to lower my fee 

With all the money I owe out, I could own me another key 

Instead I sold the house I lived in 'cause I was working for free 

My friends were looking at me for help when I couldn't help myself 

And labelled me a no one when the label put me on it's shelf 

I weren't eating properly and they could see I wasn't well 

Still all they seemed to care about was my wealth 

Fuck my health 

See the Tinnitus thing I have, has always put me through hell 

Too busy looking out for others and not thinking about myself 

I'm rich and paranoid, who else is tryna' fuck with my girl? 

Who else is making up lies for another story to sell? 

Yo, my BM sold like two stories on me for like 30K 

My TM was doing dirty on me like almost every day 

Right under my nose, I would have never have known 

So thank fuck that I'm paranoid and I went through his phone 

Fuck I see a text to his wife 

They nearly ruined my life 

Thinking how's all this information getting printed overnight? 

No lie, no lie 

I know it's in black and white 

And even though it's in The Times it's still a big bag of shite! 

I blame myself for being ignorant and opening up 

But when you're stuck in this industry, you don't know who to trust 

I'm screaming where is the love? 

'Cause on the flip side, on my kid's life 

In the streets I would've opened you up 

Just like that, Mumma we ain't going out like that 

One day I'ma catch him outside ah, how 'bout dat? 

You know like that 

When Pops used to preach I should've listened 

Now I bet he's up there grinning just 'cause I tried fight back 

I remember the times I used to steal bare weed from your pouch 

And pocket any loose change you left lying around the house 

I'd do anything to spend a couple seconds with him alive 

Instead I'm just left with a memory of him dead on the couch 

Forever putting pieces together tryna' figure shit out 

Imagine I was more than puzzled, having to give you mouth to mouth 

My lord there was dry blood all down your face 

I will never forget the taste, tryna' save the man of the house 

They say 'home is where the heart is' 

Well my one was on the market 

Mum's got her own key but she prefers it where we started 

Queen of the hood, reminiscing must feel good 

Couldn't afford to buy me trainers now she's cleaning up my books 

When she's cleaning up the flat 

She be polishing the plaques 

She ain't worried about no bailiffs now her baby's paying tax 

When the press are talking trash, know that it ain't facts 

Why would I smash my own gaff up when my yout's are in the back 

I'd be mad if I sat here tryna' justify every article 

I've already been chewed up and spat out into little particles 

Even though I'm sensitive and a softy at heart 

All I hear is 'rip them apart 'cause there ain't nobody as hard as you' 

Easily antagonised, when I hear a bag of lies 

Everyone's got a past, only difference is mine's glamorised 

Talk about being terrorised, like say I'm gonna fall back 

Your favourite artist now started out as my support act 

The scene was way needier, way before social media 

When we used to turn to radio just to make our lives easier 

Check my Wikipedia 

I sold out bare arenas yo 

They tried to brand me urban 

So I climbed outta the pigeon hole 

I kicked down the door and left it open for the rest 

I went platinum three times, so how am I still in debt? 

700K on the first, 500 on the next 

When you sign a shitty deal fam 

What else do you expect? 

Oi Stormzy you the guy now, I've always fucked with Skep' 

I writ my hardest 32 the first time I heard Wretch 

I ain't got a chip on my shoulder about who's the best 

But I beg someone tell Drizzy I'm packing something fresh 

I got as far as I am from going HAM as I can 

So for me going jail weren't really part of the plan 

I came a long way from getting chased down in that Megane 

So imagine man like me, stuck in the can 

They say I'm too hard headed, and one day I'm gonna learn 

Never thought I would be sat here selling signatures for burn 

Oi Akhi are you listening? 

It really don't matter about who you are on the outside or if your wrist is glistening 

In here, you'll get hung up to dry for moving wet 

The only time I'm talking shit, when I'm plugging up my tech 

Ay so fuck the KG's you have, wrapped around your neck 

Here all that matters is the KG's you're pushing on your chest 

My momma told me keep my head down, stay quiet 

How the fuck's that gonna work when [?] got man on a diet? 

Thinking now I'm at my lowest, life can only get better 

Them man run up in my cell and try leave holes in my sweater 

Now I'm here and I got a price on my head top, uh 

Well I'ma double that just get the pussy' head top 

From lobster and steak, to yam and noodles and tuna 

Thursday's cantine, couldn't come any sooner 

Sitting in my cell wishing that it could be way cooler 

No charger for the tizzy so I can't even call you 

Oi, get down and lay down 

I ain't come back to play around 

Even though I was excluded, this industry's still my playground
