"Jimmy Jimmy" lyrics
(feat. AJ Tracey)
[2-D:]
Jimmy, Jimmy
There's pressure on you
A life ain't feelin' how it used to
Jimmy, Jimmy
No need to be sad
When they play your song, we'll get along
[AJ Tracey (2-D):]
I been searchin', lookin' for a permanent reason
Out of sync with the seasons, not sure what I believe in
And a burden, why is bein' loved so appealin'?
Can't conform, I'm alone
We're all just lost without meanin' (Jimmy, Jimmy)
Just a boy from the West, I'm born and bred
We coulda been rich, was poor instead
My evenings are blue, all my mornings red
I had to make scores from gents (Jimmy, Jimmy)
I salute all my local fiends
They're smilin', locked in a smoker's dream
Kept an ace like a poker team (Ayy, ayy, ayy)
Just a teen sellin' coke to fiends (Jimmy, Jimmy)
I took remedy, young ones I love
Got the money, I got stuck inside of my mind
Quick solutions was all I could find
I was earnin', but losin' my time (Jimmy, Jimmy)
Portobello, I'm sippin' on wine
With a beautiful Notting Hill mother of five
Mental muscle, the strong will survive
That's why I drink white rum on the Manchester Drive
[2-D:]
Jimmy, Jimmy
Now you're out of control
And the life you're livin' is a dead-end road
Jimmy, Jimmy
No need to be sad
When they play your song, we'll get along
Jimmy, Jimmy
[AJ Tracey (2-D):]
Left Electric and headed to SoHo, now I'm in the box, I had way too much yak. Woo
Hate the front so I sat in the back with a girl from Iran and the peachiest back (Jimmy, Jimmy)
Love me a spliff, but I gotta keep it a stack, the females around me are crack
Got me wired, I ain't comin' back to reality, I bleed it out in the track (Jimmy, Jimmy)
Did some things that I swear I won't tell
Like, who do I call? Got redemption from Hell
Love and hate are like Kenan and Kel
I broke up my kis, now my friends in the cell (Jimmy, Jimmy)
Life is for livin', I love me some shillings
But God willin', people love me for my skillin'
Went from sittin' in gold with them billions
To billboards on winning, thank God, now I'm chillin'
[2-D:]
Jimmy, Jimmy
This pressure
Jimmy, Jimmy
Jimmy, Jimmy
This pressure on you
A life ain't feelin' how it used to
Jimmy, Jimmy
No need to be sad
When they play your song, we'll get along
Jimmy, Jimmy
Woo
Jimmy, Jimmy
Jimmy, Jimmy
Jimmy, Jimmy
Jimmy, Jimmy
There's pressure on you
A life ain't feelin' how it used to
Jimmy, Jimmy
No need to be sad
When they play your song, we'll get along
