[Verse 1]
They say that I won't do well
And they'll laugh if I don't excel
But to get here I had to go through hell
And to finish them will all we'll show and tell
When I'm on my own I dwell
And I feel like I'm locked in the coldest cell
Run with a style I made
Didn't live a life of crime
No I approached life the right way
It's these people want to decline the ice age
Soon the scene will snow over
We used to chill but now I don't know you
You changed tune but my heart grown colder
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
Keep your worst enemy by your shoulder
There's bridges to get over
But I'll conquer them when I'm sober
Got a plan to rip the scene open
Silence the haters whenever I've spoken
Started in 05 nobody rated
Now I'm in town with the mosh team motion
Twitter goes mad when a new vid goes up
Last year you would've turned your nose up
But I came from the bottom yeah I rose up
A lot of things changed now the young kids' grown up
[Hook]
Because it's our time, we never hesitate
I'm on the road and we're never gonna hit the brakes
Studio graft 'till the morning, yeah we never wait
I'm here to study this game and investigate
(get to know that)
I don't believe in laziness
I believe in love and waviness
I don't care if I don't get paid for this
But the track is done when I say it is [x2]
[Verse 2]
Dim the lights in the room when I'm writing a tune
I'm doing pretty well; I'd like to a**ume
My gran said I could do any task that I want
If my hearts in it I can fly to the moon
So I walk with a spring in my step
Never think I'm the best
Manny, yeah I rep this to my d**h
I'm known to spit what's correct
Nothing I write is fictional text
All you need is one track to make it
And to be frank I hate it
All you do is sample a song that's dated
And that leads on to a five figure pay slip
I don't rate it
I carry on doing grime and rap in an attempt to save it
Make music that pop fans hated
So I could say that I legitimately made it
Creative control is mine
I don't record but I don't want to
I will never sell out
I just like to test the waters
So mate the jokes on you
Old friends say I don't have time for them
They're people I say so long to
But I'm not gonna dwell on the negatives
The doors open I will go on through
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Yo
Triangle on my jumper, triangle on my hat
Bare man think it means something
Please could you stop with that?
I've got no business with any service other than my service to rap
And I know that my bars aren't perfect
But chill, I'm working on that
My music reflects my feelings
So don't tell me my bars lack meaning
Man, bite my bars coz they're appealing
They're learning to bite - call it teething
I'm feeling calm and chill
But I'm so high, I'm scraping the ceiling
Since 05 I was on screen; you don't believe me?
Plug your TV in, I'm not bragging
I'm self-critical but negativity has me cynical
MC's are calling me out
And it makes me question them:
Is it them or individual?
Are they everything that they think?
Grime has never been pretty in pink
You can have one big shot at the top spot
And it can vanish before you blink
[Hook]
