[Chorus] 

I'm not tryin to be, no big thing (I'm not tryin to be no big thing) 

I'm not tryin to give you, no advice (I can't tell you how to live your life blud) 

I'm not tryin to be, no big thing (no role models up in here, what?) 

I'm not tryin to give you, no advice 



[Verse 1] 

blud I'm not sayin that I'm anything, who am I to give man advice? 

It's not that I know best, when trust blud I don't 

all I know is if your comin from this manor I'm from 

You'll find nuff man'll test ya don't think they won't 

everybody is on their own little hustle just to find a way to try get thru 

when your raised in this fuckry 

and if your makin some papes on these estates man'll try and get you 

so you run and grab your bucky 

You count your blessins everyday but still accept you'll have to take your loses 

It's money that your makin 

especially if your comin up in the ranks 

against the big crime bosses that are all sittin hatin 

the jealous ones'll always envy so you dare say it now who wants it 

let them fuckers spite ya 

they're out to get you so you get them first 

And look now uve done it cause your arrived in a lifer 

stop 



I'm not tryin to be, no big thing (man ain't tryin to be nothing big blud) 

I'm not tryin to give you, no advice (I can't really tell you how to live your life, get me) 

I'm not tryin to be, no big thing (nuttin big star) 

I'm not tryin to give you, no advice 



[Verse 2] 

I'm from a manor where the last 20yrs have been infested 

by the crack-cocaine, that you'll find man endeavourin 

to come down from the ? man are shovin needles in thier vein 

with juice full up of heroin 

we are all stuck in this struggle but its not as if we can't see 

that nuff mans out there shottin work 

they use it for an escape as if its really gonna set man free 

when we are still diggin in the dirt 

the schools are underacheivin in the grades so its minumum wage 

by the time you go to look a job 

but on the streets we are learnin every other aspect of the criminal trade 

so instead we gonna look to rob 

It's like a gamble for your life on this manor so you hope that you win 

or else you'll just be runnin shook 

and I can't tell you how to live any better I ain't no big ting 

trust me listen to the hook 

look 



I'm not tryin to be, no big thing (I'm not tryin to be no big thing) 

I'm not tryin to give you, no advice (I can't tell you how to live your life at all) 

I'm not tryin to be, no big thing (I ain't tryin to be no biggie blud) 

I'm not tryin to give you, no advice 



[Verse 3] 

so what's the method for the madness 

for any of these kids who get left out on these streets 

where you find evrybody's frettin 

and walkin round with screw faces thinkin that 

pure bad beefs is all their likely plan to getting 

don't let anybody get in your way 

from tryin to chase your dreams blud, whatever they might be 

You've got to go for whatever you wanna be no matta 

if that might seem however unlikely 

if you don't go make a start for the betta then your shit won't change 

and you'll just get left behind 

and end up like so many brothers who still out here 

goin insane feelin' like they've lost their mind 

so get lost in the dust if your not goin to make your start 

instead of just sittin and wishin 

nobodys getting any younger so you know 

you 'av to play your part 

if you wanna betta your position 

listen 



I'm not tryin to be, no big thing 

I'm not tryin to give you, no advice 

I'm not tryin to be, no big thing, no no 

I'm not tryin to give you, no advice
