[Intro - Piano] Fifteen, I was trying to get through tonight. Now I'm making plans For the life after it. [Verse 1 - Hard deliberate rap] Still not a place for the faint-hearted, Still got trouble before the day gets started. But I got direction, got a reason to hold, Got a future I don't want sold for the old. Don't need a new face, don't need a new name, Need to use what I learnt without living the same. Kid in my chest. Man on my feet. Both got a voice, but I've got the keys. Not chasing perfect, not waiting on luck, Not letting a bad room decide what I become. Some days up, some days take effort, Still see the good getting closer together. [Build - Rising snare] Every age. Every page. Hear that bass While I turn this one! [Chorus - Massive gang shout] LOCKED IN! LOOKING FORWARD! ALL THIS LIFE— I GOT MORE TO DO! HEAD UP! KEEP IT MOVING! PAST BEHIND ME— PUT THE FUTURE IN VIEW! [Verse 2 - Explosive double-time] Fifteen with a bag, eighteen with regret, Twenties full of lessons I won't forget. Thirties with a plan and a bit more sight, Still that same fire, better place to ignite. I hate some of the roads that made me this bloke, But I won't spend the rest with my foot on my throat. Got work, got music, got people worth time, Got space for a life that doesn't orbit a fight. Every small choice gives the next one a chance, Put one foot down, then I follow with the man. If the environment rough, my aim stays good, Not where I want yet—doing what I should. [Bridge - Bare piano] No tidy ending. A real beginning. I like where it's going. That's enough to keep building. [Final Build - Crowd] GROWN TOO SOON! (KEPT GOING!) LEARNT IT HARD! (KEPT GROWING!) STILL RIGHT HERE! (NOW WE'RE BUILDING!) TURN THAT WHOLE DAMN SYSTEM UP! [Final Chorus - Maximum drop] LOCKED IN! LOOKING FORWARD! ALL THIS LIFE— I GOT MORE TO DO! HEAD UP! KEEP IT MOVING! PAST BEHIND ME— PUT THE FUTURE IN VIEW! [Outro - Dry voice] It was what it was. It can be something better. I'm locked in.
