Maida Vale

[Chorus]
And they said I wouldn't make it. mamma, yo, I made it well
Now I'm chillin' in the hotel, top floor views of Maida Vale
Got a couple of the rich folks askin' how I made it clear
We were comin' from the sticks, but music's how we got here
And they said I wouldn't make it. mamma, yo, I made it well
Now I'm chillin' in the hotel, top floor views of Maida Vale
Got a couple of the rich folks askin' how I made it clear
We were comin' from the sticks, but music's how we got here

[Verse 1]
Look, I come from the part of the sticks
Where the life of the stars wasn't somethin' to fight for
Because takin' the route
Will invite war not just yours but the reason you write more
So it's just me doin' me, it's myself and I
And followin' dreams was the reason why
So my neighbours would call me the craziest guy
Somethin' I was, no word of a lie
I was broke so I'm spittin' on IG
No P's so my bank's unsightly
And a few of my bros don't like me
'Cause I think that I'm somethin' I might be
But havin' no clue that my backin' was mighty
So I really don't care if you like me
I'm wakin' at 3 and I'm feelin' anxiety
Just me, so I'm strugglin' quietly

[Pre-Chorus]
Said I wouldn't make it, momma, tryna make it well
Still followin' plans doin' all that I can
'Cause I'm tryin' to blow like a bomb in Sudan
I'm checkin' out the nicest houses up in Maida Vale
I'll be chillin' there one day
Now it's the eighth of March on a Monday
And I'm sittin' right here just sayin'

[Chorus]
And they said I wouldn't make it. mamma, yo, I made it well
Now I'm chillin' in the hotel, top floor views of Maida Vale
Got a couple of the rich folks askin' how I made it clear
We were comin' from the sticks, but music's how we got here
And they said I wouldn't make it. mamma, yo, I made it well
Now I'm chillin' in the hotel, top floor views of Maida Vale
Got a couple of the rich folks askin' how I made it clear
We were comin' from the sticks, but music's how we got here

[Verse 2]
Look, six years down the line and the people are startin' to see
A couple are startin' to watch
And the ones that refused, are the same ones invested in me
They said that I'm cold to the touch
I just smirk, I like it
I give it all that I can, if they still don't rate me
Then I'lI just smirk, I like it
I said it way back then
And I did and I'll do it again and I'll do it again
Until a point where it's hits on hits when I pick up the pen
It's the power of ten
Ten tens times ten times ten
I'm a genius man
So now I don't lack, I rap and make P's
They ask me how long, I wrote this with ease
They tell me I'm wrong and I'm tellin' them, please
They're singin' my song way over the seas

[Pre-Chorus]
When they said I wouldn't make it, momma, tryna make it well
Still followin' plans doin' all that I can
'Cause I'm tryin' to blow like a bomb in Sudan
I'm checkin' out the nicest houses up in Maida Vale
I'll be chillin' there one day
Now it's the eighth of March on a Monday
And I'm sittin' right here just sayin'

[Chorus]
And they said I wouldn't make it. mamma, yo, I made it well
Now I'm chillin' in the hotel, top floor views of Maida Vale
Got a couple of the rich folks askin' how I made it clear
We were comin' from the sticks, but music's how we got here
And they said I wouldn't make it. mamma, yo, I made it well
Now I'm chillin' in the hotel, top floor views of Maida Vale
Got a couple of the rich folks askin' how I made it clear
We were comin' from the sticks, but music's how we got here

[Outro]
And they said I wouldn't make it. mamma, yo, I made it well
Now I'm chillin' in the hotel, top floor views of Maida Vale
Got a couple of the rich folks askin' how I made it clear
We were comin' from the sticks, but music's how we got here
