8 Ball Lyrics
[Intro: Central Cee]
That's Chucks
[Chorus: Central Cee]
Any day can be your day, if you make it back home, be grateful
How that man gonna bite that hand that feed him and not bring food to the table?
Mum said that I come a long way 'cause back in the day I was AWOL
But I soon turned one of them boys, to a strain, if I aim at your frame, it's fatal (Bah)
Back in the day, unstable, I woulda robbed a man for a f**king 8 ball
I changed my role, I'm a CEO, back then, I would work for payroll (CEO)
They don't understand how I done what I done and I'm not even signed to a label
I said, "That's time that I find me a wife, " I lied, I'm too unfaithful
[Verse 1: Central Cee]
I'm playing, I'm playing, I'm playful, bae going mad that I'm missing her calls
So much time bro spent in the field, I know he weren't kicking thе ball
I won't lie, I turn up (Up), I was a little bit differеnt in school
Loud, vals, dizz, yay, X pills, I'm slinging them all (Woo)
I'ma shake that room (Woo)
Way too bait for the mains, got a mask on my face like MF DOOM
Come talk that talk to my face, I don't give a sh!t what you say on a tune
Went OT early December, didn't come back 'til the middle of June
I'm in the bando sitting 'round fumes
[Chorus: Central Cee]
Any day can be your day, if you make it back home, be grateful
How that man gonna bite that hand that feed him and not bring food to the table?
Mum said that I come a long way 'cause back in the day I was AWOL
But I soon turned one of them boys, to a strain, if I aim at your frame, it's fatal (Bah, bah, bah)
Back in the day, unstable, I woulda robbed a man for a f**king 8 ball
I changed my role, I'm a CEO, back then, I would work for payroll (CEO)
They don't understand how I done what I done and I'm not even signed to a label
I said, "That's time that I find me a wife, " I lied, I'm too unfaithful
[Verse 2: Central Cee]
More money, more problems, I wouldn't say that I'm loving this life
Same gyal on my d!ck right now, same ones that curved when nothing weren't nice (Back then)
If you ain't been in my shoes then we don't want your advice
Sign or take that risk and go independent, I can't make up my mind
It don't feel right sometimes when I flex 'cause the bros in the can, it ain't fair
The gang got clocked when we all stepped out
We shoulda just done it in pairs
In the Vauxhall Astra I almost stalled, I forgot that I wasn't in gear
They're lifting the block out of order again, I'm sweating just running up stairs
[Chorus: Central Cee]
Any day can be your day, if you make it back home, be grateful
How that man gonna bite that hand that feed him and not bring food to the table?
Mum said that I come a long way 'cause back in the day I was AWOL
But I soon turned one of them boys, to a strain, if I aim at your frame, it's fatal
Back in the day, unstable, I woulda robbed a man for a f**king 8 ball
I changed my role, I'm a CEO, back then, I would work for payroll (CEO)
They don't understand how I done what I done and I'm not even signed to a label
I said, "That's time that I find me a wife, " I lied, I'm too unfaithful
