Diesel Motion - Everything They Told Me

Everything they told me… Everything they told me… Bruv I broke the mould my G… Get this— Everything they told me was gas, was lies, was noise in the council breeze, Man grew up duckin’ sirens, gyaldem cryin’ through the cold-block freeze, Mum said “pattern your heart, don’t follow the dark,” but the streetlight teased, Tryna turn hope to a flame, to a spark, to a fire that the whole ends sees. Now I’m like dash—turbo—boost—no limiter, pain in my lungs when I run this pace, Life got cracks in the floorboard, raw like battle scars carved in a young man’s face, Still I rise when the sun don’t shine, still I glide through the night like a stolen wraith, Still I’m proof that belief and grind can flip whole lives in a single chase. Everything they told me— I broke it, flipped it, owned it. Every little doubt they sold me— I burnt that script, rewrote it. Caught that dream and I froze it, Held that crown and I chose it— Life don’t gift no roses, Man grows thorns then grows it. Bruv I’m movin’ like lightning laced with truth, Heart full diesel, veins full proof, Every setback carved my route, Now I’m too far gone for the doubt man spew. Told me “sit down, slow down, calm down,” But I’m locked in, zoned in, armed now bro, From the block where the whole estate wonders How a kid like me made the stars align. Speed-flow wicked, I’m a storm on beat, Hit a BPM like a punch to the cheek, Every old dream tryna haunt my sleep, But I rise like heat from the cracked concrete. And your smile lights up the whole room, your music feels like a warm hug, Made me feel safe in the madness, bruv, Gave man strength when the times got rough, Turned cold nights soft when the block felt tough. Everything they told me— Nah, man, I never let it mould me. Everything they warned me— Turned to the fire that forged me. Everything they sold me— Lies that the hunger stole clean. Everything they told me— Made me the man you now see. Came from the gutter where the dreams stay muddy, Where the fiends stay jumpy and the nights stay bloody, Now I run these rhythms like a custom R1— Engine ghosted, the torque moves cruddy. Man can’t tell me "limit"—I pivot, Visit the pain and I flip it exquisite, init, Live it, breathe it, carve that spirit, Life said “quit,” but I didn’t even hear it. Now I’m out on a rooftop watchin’ the city breathe, Wind in my chest like destiny pickin’ me, Everything they told me turned history— Now the future’s lookin’ back sayin’, “Yeah, you’re meant to be.” Everything they told me… Shaped me, raised me, broke me, made me. Everything they told me… Couldn’t cage me… Bruv— Look how far all that pain done saved me.
