Gotta keep my head above water 
Gotta stay head-strong, keep rolling on 
No point getting caught in the hype is long 
Like I don't know right from wrong 
 
So I gotta be real, nothing to prove 
I'm still big in the hood, I feel so in control 
I'm chill, no one ain't knocking off dill 
So I stay top on the bill 
 
I'm the main event, the headliner 
Went from jungle DJ to rhymer 
Never thought I would be the big timer 
But I still par it like, yo, it's a minor 
 
'Cause I still rep my ends, still check my friends 
Can I keep it up? I guess, it all depends 
If I can keep my mind right, don't get tempted 
By the limelight, I think I'll be alright 
 
Temptation leads you like your naughty mate 
The one that used to get you in bother 
The one you can never bring yourself to hate 
 
Can't avoid the temptation 
But I know, I gotta change my ways 
And keep my nose clean, gotta fix up 
Take a look at my life 'cause I ain't sixteen 
 
And I ain't no boy, ain't no kid 
The world ain't flat and the picture's big 
Certain things that I gotta get rid 
And a whole lot more that I gotta get with 
 
So I gotta stay and roam on my own 
Gotta move on, I can't stay at home 
'Cause I know what's there is all the same 
Crack, cocaine and ghetto fame 
 
Cold hard cash and a bit of a name 
And I've see it all, so I need a change 
Lost too many brethrens to the game 
And you could say temptation's to blame 
 
Temptation leads you like your naughty mate 
The one that used to get you in bother 
The one you can never bring yourself to hate 
Temptation leads you like your naughty friends 
 
We used to be tight, me and my naughty friends 
Caused pure madness in the ends, I mean day and night 
We robbed, we stole, we loved to fight 
Smoking, drinking, joyriding, drugs, thugs, not law-abiding 
 
Reckless youngsters, no direction, no sign of correction 
But then I switched it up, changed my ways 
Got in the area like, "Oh my days" 
But not my naughty friends, they're not fazed 
Can't believe that this music pays 
 
See no reason why we can't do 
All the things that we've always done 
Still in my heart I know that's just wrong 
But it's hard to fight the temptation, son 
 
Temptation leads you like your naughty mate 
The one that used to get you in bother 
The one you can never bring yourself to hate 
Temptation leads you like your naughty friends
