The beat sounds like it was strongly inspired by Message in a Bottle by The Police:
The instrumental of this track has been used by many grime and rap artists for freestyle. One example is Roll Safe’s “Listen” as heard on his Fire in the Booth
[Hook: Wiley]
(When we gonna) be together?
Never, we don't wanna be with each other
I'm off to find a new lover
Cause this ain't working, we ain't working
(When we gonna) be together?
Never, we don't wanna be with each other
I'm off to find a new lover
Cause this ain't working, we ain't working
[Verse 1: Wiley]
Not now, but maybe in a few years
When I get past self-destruction
We both know what it is, it's over
I'm young-minded but I'm strong-minded like an older
Or an elder, I'm under a spell
And it's called the system, you'll know if you're human
The love weren't enough to keep us together
I'm on a path where your life gets ruined
When are we gonna realise
That it won't last if we both tell lies?
But what comes out is just a disguise
The truth's up there in the sky, only God knows why
When are we gonna go our separate ways?
We're holding on, don't like each other's waves
I can't stop you, if you wanna step down
Get down with another, great
[Hook: Wiley]
(When we gonna) be together?
Never, we don't wanna be with each other
I'm off to find a new lover
Cause this ain't working, we ain't working
(When we gonna) be together?
Never, we don't wanna be with each other
I'm off to find a new lover
Cause this ain't working, we ain't working
[Verse 2]
Oi, I'll come here forever
So I guess it's now or never
Let me ask you one question, Heather
(When we gonna be together?)
Look, you're choong and clever
So why you got a man like Trevor?
I'll look after you when you're under the weather
Just tell me (When we gonna be together?)
Look, just tell me
And I'll come running, I swear
I'll be around the block around 8ish, 9 is the latest
Make sure you're there
You don't have to put yourself through this, we can get through this
I know you've been hurt
So I say you cheat on that guy, don't need that guy
Don't tell him to blurt
[Hook: Wiley]
(When we gonna) be together?
Never, we don't wanna be with each other
I'm off to find a new lover
Cause this ain't working, we ain't working
(When we gonna) be together?
Never, we don't wanna be with each other
I'm off to find a new lover
Cause this ain't working, we ain't working
[Verse 3]
Can be together through any weather when the shit hits the fan
Big MAC in my right hand
When niggas decide their plans and plan to bang
That's the time when
When I bang reverb, I impact too much
[?] straight go, no clutch when I touch
Niggas duck when you buss [?]
[?]
Never said a word 'bout your breakoff networks
[?]
[Hook: Wiley]
(When we gonna) be together?
Never, we don't wanna be with each other
I'm off to find a new lover
Cause this ain't working, we ain't working
(When we gonna) be together?
Never, we don't wanna be with each other
I'm off to find a new lover
Cause this ain't working, we ain't working
[Verse 4]
On a hot summer's night
I'm cruising in the ends five deep
My perfect match is sitting next to me
She's kind of deep
She can be my queen, I can be her king
We can do a ting
She smiles at me, I smile at her
She's so spectacular
Let's not pretend, I don't want it to end
I want the moment to last till the end
I love the feeling when
Everyting in my life is good
No beef on my back, no girls on my back
It's all good in the hood
So come girl, we can be together forever
We could
[Hook: Wiley]
(When we gonna) be together?
Never, we don't wanna be with each other
I'm off to find a new lover
Cause this ain't working, we ain't working
(When we gonna) be together?
Never, we don't wanna be with each other
I'm off to find a new lover
Cause this ain't working, we ain't working
[Verse 5]
I'm waiting for the right time, know that
For the mean time, hold on girl, fall back
Way back, back then, yeah, I trusted a yout
All my colours and feelings, I shared with this yout
More than a crush, yeah, I cared only for you
I was lonely till I seen when I found you, girl
And all your friends said we would never work
Your friends said I would act like a fool and a jerk
I wanted you, started to change up my ways
And then we decided to go different ways, girl
But now I know your feelings have changed
And now I know that you wanna do things again, girl
And I really wish I could but I just can't
Stop one, then I start from the start
Right now time's ticking, I ain't got time
But when the time's right, it will be our time
[Hook: Wiley]
(When we gonna) be together?
Never, we don't wanna be with each other
I'm off to find a new lover
Cause this ain't working, we ain't working
(When we gonna) be together?
Never, we don't wanna be with each other
I'm off to find a new lover
Cause this ain't working, we ain't working
