“Sex Money Drugs”, the eighth cut on Central Cee’s debut mixtape Wild West, he speaks on his disregarded relationships due to love he has for the grind.
[Intro]
Supreme
Beam me up, Scotty
[Chorus]
I coulda been laid up with shorty, fuck it, the grind more important
Told her "I'm in the stu all night, hold tight, I'll reply in the morning"
I'ma buy that drip times two for all of the times I couldn't afford it
All of the times I came up with rhymes, mad that I couldn't record it
Sex, money, drugs, I need all three
The life that I live 3D, the shit that you see on TV
I say that I live my movie, I might make a DVD
The shit that we see daily, you see it on BBC
[Verse 1]
It's gettin' easy, I might make a whole EP
I'm in the public eye but I'm tryna move lowkey
I'm hearin' the demons talk when I try and go to sleep
I lеt you in on my thoughts but I don't wanna go too deep
I'm showin' the young G's things the olders didn't show mе
I'm gettin' DMs from youts sayin' that he wants P, can he go OT?
All glitter ain't gold, sugar and salt, it ain't what it seems
If you weren't there when they were asleep, then you wasn't part of the dream
[Chorus]
I coulda been laid up with shorty, fuck it, the grind more important
Told her "I'm in the stu all night, hold tight, I'll reply in the morning"
I'ma buy that drip times two for all of the times I couldn't afford it
All of the times I came up with rhymes, mad that I couldn't record it
Sex, money, drugs, I need all three
The life that I live 3D, the shit that you see on TV
I say that I live my movie, I might make a DVD
The shit that we see daily, you see it on BBC
[Verse 2]
Vexed that I sold you a dream, but baby, you shouldn't have bought it
It's not my fault you got feelings that you shouldn't have caught
When I had no whip, she woulda ignored
She gonna get wet when I put it in sport
It's too late, no you should have before
The gift that I got from God's not taught
Part of the dream, success, not greed
Obsessed with progress, I been rock bottom, you don't wanna...
Where I'm from, no hope, when they can't cope, they turn to dope
Where I'm from, you learn to trap before you're allowed to smoke
[Chorus]
I coulda been laid up with shorty, fuck it, the grind more important
Told her "I'm in the stu all night, hold tight, I'll reply in the morning"
I'ma buy that drip times two for all of the times I couldn't afford it
All of the times I came up with rhymes, mad that I couldn't record it
Sex, money, drugs, I need all three
The life that I live 3D, the shit that you see on TV
I say that I live my movie, I might make a DVD
The shit that we see daily, you see it on BBC

On the opening line I say, “I could have been laid up with shorty/But fuck it, the grind’s more important.” That’s what I was on that night.
