| I’ve been in the wrong system, the wrong territory, for way too long
|
| If I say it’s right and I show it to Johnny, looks back at me like it sounds
|
| wrong
|
| Who am I making music for then?
|
| Ask him, me, the label or him?
|
| I don’t like showin people eediat tunes cause really Wiley goes in
|
| I’m torn between catering for me and the fans, I’m going mad
|
| I only hear my big hits where people go to get tans, beach
|
| What’s sad to me is they want easy, I can’t show skills
|
| For the wayward music they want brother, I don’t want mils
|
| I step back looking in from the outside
|
| Wondering if it sounds right
|
| Sounds good to me
|
| On this path it’s good to be
|
| Yeah, you could do the hook for me
|
| Or I could do the hook for free
|
| Got a rave booked at 1
|
| Leave a hour gap then I’m booked til three
|
| Where do I start with this one
|
| I was on the outside trying to get inside
|
| With the tools outside I got inside
|
| In a matter of time I was doing a lot
|
| Might see me with a lighty on the block
|
| Wiley told me to murk this
|
| So I gotta make this worth it
|
| When I spit, spit to kill, not only Fruity Loops that I kill
|
| I’m a lord of the beats fam
|
| Check YouTube, every man knows that it got real
|
| Five bills for a grime beat, that’s real
|
| Had a man scared and shook like I just got signed and dropped, let go from the
|
| deal
|
| I’mma stack till I get mils
|
| I step back looking in from the outside
|
| Wondering if it sounds right
|
| Sounds good to me
|
| On this path it’s good to be
|
| Yeah, you could do the hook for me
|

|
| Got a rave booked at 1
|
| Leave a hour gap then I’m booked til three
|
| I don’t know who’s approval man’s seeking
|
| Or what crowd man’s tryna be reaching
|
| Don’t wanna make tunes that are bait
|
| I make music for an acquired taste
|
| Started doing this thing cause I loved it
|
| Not to make tunes for the general public
|
| Our music is made to measure
|
| Wiley is a national treasure
|
| Not everybody is gonna like it
|
| If they don’t like it, fuck 'em
|
| Man really started from the bottom
|
| Walk in to radio, man ain’t forgotten
|
| I used to pay £5 a week to get heard
|
| Now I get five bags for spoken word
|
| Personally I think man’s winning
|
| And it’s only the end of the beginning
|
| I step back looking in from the outside
|
| Wondering if it sounds right
|
