Thats me right there. I have memories with this song back home when I was around 13 as well but I've been in Britain for years now and I just got out of a 3 year relationship so this song just randomly popped in my head and it just hits different now.

Being honest, I found this some from Zerkaa during his GTA RP, driving his R8

Dot rotten is such an under appreciate artist. Such a talented person not only can he make all sorts of tracks his lyrics are deep af. This song has so much truth in it and makes it so it reaches the masses and gets radio time but then can switch it back up and smash out a pure grime banger. Much respect 🔥👊

The craziest thing about this song is, this was 10 years ago now. But these lyrics hit so differently today. So much has happened and we're living in so much uncertainty. Everything seemed so much better at the time. It's almost like this track was for the future.

The lyrics are so powerful. Much respect to Dot.

I heard this song in someone's car 5 years ago and was searching for it for the past like 2 years and finally found it and I'm so happy.

Best grime artist to hit he mainstream imo

P Money's diss brought me back to this

Dot Rotten spoke the truth in 2012 and no one realised

People watching and listening to this in the middle of the p v dot beef, this should show you the gatekeepers kept dot out of the spotlight fr , he is truly one of the best in the scene and has been for a minute. This is the only time that blew big and he got shut down quick after it.
