Open Conversation & Mark Duggan
Wretch 32

[Hook: Varren Wade]

Grown on me

Can't sing but I wrote you a song, that's grown on me

And my treasures have grown on me

Aware of the responsibilities, grown on me

And when I wear a suit and tie, it looks grown on me

I ain't changed, I'm just a new old me

Or did you know me?

Grown on me

(Music so gorgeous, got you feeling flawless)

(Music so gorgeous, got you feeling flawless)

(Mu-mu-music so gorgeous, got you feeling flawless)

(Music so gorgeous, got you feeling flawless)

(Music so gorgeous, got-got you feeling flawless)

[Verse 1: Wretch 32]

Uh, I grew up on Eternal, I'm tryna be the same

Ever seen a flame in the rain?

No? Then you've never seen Jermaine

In his white-gold chain back in the day, just give me space

Yeah

I might have took a galaxy

I never had a pound, couldn't afford a Ford

So I had to run around, a

What the fuck's an allergy?

All my niggas nuts

We weren't allowed in the youth club

Before we hit the clubs

They said enough was enough

So we had to give 'em more

When you see sides, I just wanna know you're sure

Are you sure?

Or do you sympathise?

You grew up on Kinder Surprise

I had licks and rice and had to drink my pride

One-on-one since six or five

Lost my marbles, looking down the drain

Tryna find 'em, I couldn't find 'em

(Look a little closer to home, you might find 'em)

I might find 'em?

Fuck that, I've got my skateboard

I've got my rucksack, I've got my 8 balls

I've got two sticks and I ain't playing pool

I know who's who, I'm from the same school

And it's hard knocks, where it makes you

Or it breaks you, I didn't snap in half

I just snapped in class

It's a miracle I didn't catch that charge

Ain't got time to waste

Night time, that's like my time of day

When you're 32 shade of grey

In this concrete jungle, you've gotta pave a way

Just don't let 'em take your Jane

(Can't take you, baby)

I start playing Jason when they get adjacent

You know how that movie goes

Click-clack, bang-bang, on my phones, 2Pac taught me that

Biggie Smalls taught me swag

Got my Versace shirt, put my car in reverse

I was hypnotised with Medusa in my lenses

Now I'm Medusa to my exes

Don't look at me, don't look at me

Unless you've got the whole booking fee

I used to have a hole in my jeans

Holes in my tee

Now I buy outfits for the whole of my team

You couldn't shock on the block I love

Moving Bobby Brown, that was just my prerogative

Just my prerogative

Driving cars with no indicators

I took a right turn with no indication

The only stimulation was ipi-dipi-dation

How many of my niggas I'll be seeing in the station?

I'm getting fed up

'Member they put the cuffs on me

Felt like I couldn't even stand up or breathe

Brother Mark never made it to custody

I see his kids now and again

I give them every cent that I've got up in my pocket

But it isn't enough

Cause when he saw me at the lights, he said give me your number

Got the same school shirt, now I'm wearing this jumper

Saying RIP

Just know you R-I me

Every verse, every cough and I'm not stopping

Sick of money often, see [?] often

See the pressures we had, tryna take it off them

Turned the hangman rope into straight white-gold

Cuh we rose from the dungeon

Zeros to the hundreds

And they can write books on us where we come from

That's why we're heroes on our junction

[Hook: Varren Wade]

Grown on me

Can't sing but I wrote you a song, that's grown on me

And my treasures have grown on me

Aware of the responsibilities, grown on me

And when I wear a suit and tie, it looks grown on me

I ain't changed, I'm just a new old me

Or did you know me?

Grown on me

(Music so gorgeous, got you feeling flawless)

(Music so gorgeous, got you feeling flawless)

(Mu-mu-music so gorgeous, got you feeling flawless)

(Music so gorgeous, got you feeling flawless)

(Music so gorgeous, got-got you feeling flawless)

[Break: Stafford Scott]

Who are the murderers?

Police are the murderers!

No justice? No peace!

No justice? No peace!

No justice? No peace!

We don't do this because we want to do this

We don't do this because we read in a book that it's a good thing to do

We do this because for generations, they've been killing black people all over the country

Poor and working class people all over the country

And always getting away with it

[Bridge: Bobii Lewis]

I heard it's all been love

Cupid, draw back your bow

We need to follow that arrow

While I'm on my feet

If they shoot me down, would you riot for me?

Riot for me

We need to follow that arrow

As long as we believe

Two tears falling like the innocent

Spirits in the wind

What's respect if they expect silence?

Oh

Sirens when we disrespect

Sirens when we disrespect

What's respect if they expect silence?

We hear sirens when we disrespect, yeah

[Verse 2: Avelino]

I just lost my mind

I just lost my mind

Is it me or am I scared of the cops outside?

There's cops outside

There's an I in team but I'm on my side, I guess

Roses are red

Violets for violence

Yeah

[Outro: Bobii Lewis]

What's respect if they expect silence?

We hear sirens when we disrespect
