The first official linkup between two talented rising London artists Danny Sanchez and Ashbeck, who have both worked separately with producer Kxmel on various occasions.
[Verse 1: Danny Sanchez]
Run on my own time, never early or late
I just wanna take a break from society's constraints
Puttin' place by all these fake feelings we chase
I just wanna burn this haze, so exotic with the taste like
Feelin' like I'm there but, just not quite
I always seem to slip when the top's in sight
Not on crime, just on dimes, tryna go get mine
Know that things will pattern up man, 'cause I'm seein' the signs
But all the money in the world can't push the cold out your soul
So I climb up to the treetops and together we grow
Nature's growth just provokes this nice feeling inside
Me and the vines intertwine, let it enter my mind
'Cause all the money in the world
Can't make a bruddah feel blessed
But I'd rather that than chillin' bein' broke and depressed
Dark days always bringin' round that pain in my chest
But the thought of sortin' out my marge with just one check
Makes me realize, that I gotta make these dreams materialize
The only way that I can start to heal inside
Just commit to the function
Commit to the deep dark dungeons of South London
Commit to the family and friends, to the ends, set the trend
More money spent, eyes sunken and deep-set
I just wanna smile with no fake shit underneath it
Tough times and rough rides, you just gotta deep it
[Chorus: Danny Sanchez]
Mornin' brew and a roll-up
Now let's just see how we hold up
Winters get warmer and summers get colder
Mother's young soldier, never doing what they told us
Mornin' brew and a roll-up
Now let's just see how we hold up
Winters get warmer and summers get colder
Mother's young soldier, never doing what they told us
[Verse 2: Ashbeck]
And I be spittin' that different shit
Hop on the beat and I'm killin' it
Get to my gaff and I'm billin' it
Kxmel just sent me a beat and I'm feelin' it
Life be tough, gotta' deal with it
I carry on and I build with it
Man, I got dreams of the money, and cars, and clothes
A house and a hill with it
So I'll be focused on me
I just tell her wait and see
Wake up I'm gettin' that money
I'm hittin' the stu' up and then I repeat
Like, I can't be workin' for free
I need my cheddary cheese
I don't be fuckin' with donnies
Not buckin' a donnie unless you my G, like, like
I might stay inside, on a rainy day
I want her by my side but she away today
I ain't got nothin' to do but that's okay today
Workin' shifts, gave her my time, I'm for that paper pay
Let me demonstrate
I'm burnin' tracks like when you sip the Henny straight
Tryna stack my cream up like a wedding cake
I'll tell 'em straight
Young Beck on the rise, don't underestimate
Elevate and elevate, keep it at a steady rate
[Chorus: Danny Sanchez]
Mornin' brew and a roll-up
Now let's just see how we hold up
Winters get warmer and summers get colder
Mother's young soldier, never doing what they told us
Mornin' brew and a roll-up
Now let's just see how we hold up
Winters get warmer and summers get colder
Mother's young soldier, never doing what they told us
