about

Lobé Breaks down the details of some of his earliest memories and the process of moving from cameroon to the UK.

lyrics

Look
Never had a silver spoon
Mummy from Jamaica and daddy from Cameroon
Yeah, They did what they had to do
mum ain't even into **** but ended up having two
Yeah, the peer pressures of tradition
There ain't nothing nothing like a women's intuition
Mums a teacher, daddy was a musician
Now they learning lessons
with these lyrics that I've written
Never been one to believe in a coincidence
I know this life we live has some sort of significance
I can't just be another unwilling participant
The skin I'm in is the equivalent of the omnipotent
I'm godly
Yeah
Simultaneously beautiful and ugly
Something special in my DNA it must be
Patty rollers on the block they tryna hunt me
Depot injection, the doctor tryna drug me
Palepirdone running all through my bloodstream
Shit got me unproductive and now I just sleep
Pathetic, I'm apathetic
Im like a zombie
I can't ever let this wickedness corrupt me
I seen people lose it all because their comfy
Now I'm eating I can't forget when I was hungry
My mama did a lot to get me in this country

Had to call her sister just to borrow some dough
Little brown envelope for the border control
Wanted a new life
She got bored of the old
And My fathers at work so he don't even know
She was meant to babysit us for the night
Now me, my brother and my mother all on a flight
the last time I seen that nigga I was five
Reversing the red toyota out the drive

The roads have all changed
Everything's changed
Man's just ready to take it all in, my bro. Big bird bro, man just feels like a fucking
Feels like everyone's just fucking grew up bro
All the kids are grown now like it's crazy bro
But yeah man, soon man we'll link up
Asap
