From the Outside |
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 |
Or I could do the hook for free |
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 |
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 |
