Rosehill Video (MV)

Thirteen when I first started writing
Can I really make it as a nerdy white kid
Playing Skyrim, at the same time fighting
In the ring and on call of duty sniping
I been making stories for as long as I remember
It all heightened in that 2013 September
Who knew we'd grow up to be young offenders
From football in Royston when we had the nice weather
Together, vapes turned to weed
Weed turned to pills, and bills fueled the greed
And greed started fraud, and all drugs that you need
With knives to your neck, them man make you plead
Buss me your squares g I can make you rich
Go shot this pack g, or I'll put you in a ditch
Go rob this Donnie, I heard he was a snitch
The power of the notes could any man switch

There's a rose on the hill
One survived but not long till it's killed
There's a rose on the hill
What would you do to just make a bill
There's a rose on the hill
One survived but not long till it's killed
There's a rose on the hill
What would you do to just make a bill

Draws behind the ramps, shots on the court
You might play football but the road is a sport
We've seen it since young, our actions were taught
Bought new creps but you got it through fraud
Nitties on Tudor but I don't know a Henry
Crack goes in circles and nobodies friendly
Mitcham side them man on a frenzy
No rose on this hill cos they all wanna end me
How they gonna rob you in your own home
As soon as the suns down you're stranded alone
But the sun don't shine here, they'll take all that you own
So by the time we're 14 we're already grown
This place makes you hopeless
When money is the focus
You end up broken
So drugs is the motive
What are they smoking
You must be joking
Black on the spoon
Needle people to notice

There's a rose on the hill
One survived but not long till it's killed
There's a rose on the hill
What would you do to just make a bill
There's a rose on the hill
One survived but not long till it's killed
There's a rose on the hill
What would you do to just make a bill

We're in the shadow of Mitcham and tooting
They don't see the sons that mothers are losing
The rich don't see that we're all still human
Survival of the fittest, it's still evolution
This place makes you pray when you don't have a faith
You gotta watch your back cos you know you ain't safe
The hunger for money limits your days
With limited ways to escape this estate

Rambos, machetes, some 9's and some peddys
Im scared but composed just like Donizetti
They want my shit and I'm getting all sweaty
They ain't on their ones like Ed, Ed n' Eddy
Drop your knife, come let's pick up the gloves
I don't wanna see blood when push comes to shove
We just see the money but go and look what it does
I would rather fight my fears I'm too tired to run

There's a rose on the hill
One survived but not long till it's killed
There's a rose on the hill
What would you do to just make a bill
There's a rose on the hill
One survived but not long till it's killed
There's a rose on the hill
What would you do to just make a bill
