Roadside

[Hook]
Been grinding for my whole life, never been a lowlife
Gotta get my dough right
I don't know about those guys, never saw them on the roadside
Been grinding for my whole life, never been a lowlife
Gotta get my dough right
I don't know about those guys, never saw them on the roadside

[Verse 1]
Young on the strip, should've gone down the mosque
P13 was the bus round the block
Girls buss it open when they come round a boss
Don't hate me cause you're rubbed out and washed
I came up on the roads
Spent my teens with fiends, dots on me like dominoes
Hundred phones, could've been sponsored by Nokia
Made me conquer you, you couldn't see me with binoculars
Ran through my first mill, let birds chill in Herne Hill
Old passa, grown matters, suttin can get burst still
Go to war like Churchill, I don't think these nerds real
Thousands on a girl's heels, my Versace shirt silk
Cracked a tooth, went Harley Street for an implant
Now I'm in Chanel with like ten bands in France
Diamonds on me dancing like Lingard
You're listening to a mob boss in charge

[Hook]
Been grinding for my whole life, never been a lowlife
Gotta get my dough right
I don't know about those guys, never saw them on the roadside
Been grinding for my whole life, never been a lowlife
Gotta get my dough right
I don't know about those guys, never saw them on the roadside

[Verse 2]
Young on the strip, ahead of my time
Bread on my mind, I was always destined to shine
A lot of madness on the ends, a lot of man were on the fence
Reflecting on what I lost, what I made and what I spent
I was in a Honda then, years before I got a Benz
Years before I got revenge, now my money's long for them
I dunno where the loyalty and honour went
Every action has a consequence, where's your common sense?
Trapped in different continents, things you couldn't comprehend
Used to getting compliments, she likes me cause I'm confident
Where you wanna fly babe? Rack for a night stay
£5K for the five star for five days
I was trapped in the gutter like crabs in a bucket
Now there's lobster and crab in my stomach
A lot of man chat like they're on it
I've got racks in my pocket, I ain't ever had a wallet

[Hook]
Been grinding for my whole life, never been a lowlife
Gotta get my dough right
I don't know about those guys, never saw them on the roadside
Been grinding for my whole life, never been a lowlife
Gotta get my dough right
I don't know about those guys, never saw them on the roadside
