Diesel Motion - Just Wish You'd Understand

Yeah… ayo… Wish you’d understand, fam… Blocks raised me different bruv… I came from the bricks where the dreams go missin’, Council block views, pain cuts like scissors, Rain on the window, mandem still sinnin’, Life on a timer, that clock keeps tickin’. Mum on the rent line, bailiffs knockin’, Dad weren’t there, that chair stays rockin’, Shiftin' that diesel got the whole gang plottin’, Heart stayed heavy bro, the bars ain’t stoppin’. Road taught lessons that school ain’t teach, Real ones trapped on a broken street, Hope gets clipped when you’re low on heat, But I still run laps with the soak-your-feet. Tryna be calm man, but the pain goes mad, Brother got bagged, sis lost her dad, All these storms that we’ve fought through, fam… All I ever wanted was you to understand. I just wish you'd understand, Why I move the way I am, Why the hustle made me stand, Why the block wrote who I am. I just wish you'd understand— Life weren’t built with a perfect plan, But I still rise up, raise my hand, Tryna show you more than a broken man. Heart full of cracks but the beat goes skankin’, Bare cold nights in a block so dankin’, Life weren’t sweet, we were barely eatin’, Still hit rhythm with a flow that’s rankin’. Dreams in a chokehold, mind on freeze, Still had hope underneath them keys, Still stayed solid in the darkest breeze, Tryna breathe truth when the pain don’t please. World sees roadman, never sees reasons, Never sees hunger, trauma, seasons, Never sees the fights or the cuts still bleedin’, Only sees the mandem forever misleadin’. But I’m tryna break cycles, Write real life in the grime-scribbled Bibles. Every lil tear in my diary’s title— “Just wish you’d understand my survival.” I just wish you'd understand, Why I move the way I am, Why the hustle made me stand, Why the block wrote who I am. I just wish you'd understand— Life weren’t built with a perfect plan, But I still rise up, raise my hand, Tryna show you more than a broken man. Every scar got a story, Every night had a warning, Every dawn felt stormy, But I kept my heartbeat roaring. If you saw my life first-hand… Bro… You’d understand. Just wish you’d understand bruv… Council block child with a grown man’s plan… Still here… still stand… Still pray one day you’ll understand…
