Intro:
You Know it's Funny, when you aint got none, money can seem evil,
Big up to all the poor people, keep your sights high just like a steeple in the sky.
all I see is platinum plated, superficial, I’ve got plans to make it, and that's official.
Yeah, Arkhenatan, coming through for south London, and the UK,
It's time to put the UK back on the map.
Verse 1 (16 Bars):
My shell is hard, shatter proof, heat resistant,
since my youth I've been determined and persistent,
But lost my patience with these petty minded fools,
Who wanna waste your time, Weak individuals,
talking rubbish when they rhyme, Lacking foresight,
to the point of being blind, all they care for is the jewels,
The glitter, the gold and anything that shines,
Nothing but fame on their tiny shallow minds,
Fancy cars, name brands and girls behinds,
That's why you know that I'm out growing 'em all,
'Cause I'm one of a kind and proud to be myself,
These wanna be criminals try to be somebody else,
and that's the reason why, they mostly add to nothing,
While I'm trying to be somebody, amount to something,
Content with being me, they lack originality,
Trying to mimic what they see, in the media on TV

Uh! Issues of power, while we're stuck here in the cold, they're warm and comfortable, in their ivory tower, away from it all, that's where they hide and cower, unknown and invisible, yet making lives miserable, remaining underground, and unaccountable, insurmountable measures, dealt uncountable, amounts of pressures, stress immeasurable, while on the flip side, they live a life of leisure, enjoying pure pleasure, but what's it all amount to?
