[Verse 1: Jorja Smith]
Why you even telling me?
It's not like I don't know
Repeating on this history
Running in circles like I got no place to go
So, how you gonna say to me
The streets are paved with gold
I know the ins and outs of every opportunity
And I'll never be the richest on the road
[Chorus: Jorja Smith]
People, can't you see what's happening?

People, ain't nobody laughing, oh no, but you know
That we don't stand a chance at all

Cannot get away from the burning sun
When your fiya a go blaze
You better change your ways
'Cause we don't stand a chance at all (Not at all)
[Outro: Jorja Smith]
People
People
Oh no
That we don't stand a chance at all (Not at all)
People
People
Oh no (I know, you know)
That we don't stand a chance at all
