[Intro: New Machine]
I've been waiting for
Yeah, I've been waiting for sunshine
Instead of being stuck on the frontline
Feel like I've been here enough times
I've been waiting for
A little piece of the sunshine
Instead of being stuck on the frontline
Feel like I've been here enough times
[Chorus: New Machine]
I've been waiting for
Yeah, I've been waiting for sunshine
Instead of being stuck on the frontline
Feel like I've been here еnough times
I've been waiting for
A little piеce of the sunshine
Instead of being stuck on the frontline
Feel like I've been here enough times
I've been waiting
[Verse 1: Aitch]
Waiting on the day I make the great escape
Until then, I'm still stuck up on the same estate
Pour a glass and light a spliff to take the pain away
I'm from a place where you're lucky if it don't rain today
Three man sharin' on a cig
Didn't have a motor, my Carerra was my whip
Made certain decisions, I was careless as a kid
And I'd be lyin' if I say it doesn't tear me up a bit
Full of cunch lines, gun signs
Cut ties, goodbyes
Sometimes, good times
More time, fuck'ries
Bird says she hates me
More like she lovesick
Shirt full of gravy, came up a scruff kid
Work doesn't pay me, enough to get fucked with
Tryna link Sadie and **** in the bushes
Half the hood shady, look but don't touch it
Grew up in the gutters but we love, it so fuck it
[Chorus: New Machine]
Yeah, I've been waiting for sunshine
Instead of being stuck on the frontline
Feel like I've been here enough times
I've been waiting for
A little piece of the sunshine
Instead of being stuck on the frontline
Feel like I've been here enough times
I've been waiting
[Verse 2: Aitch]
Yeah
A little gaff by the seaside
Never left Manny, I was trapped in the beehive
Grew up on fish, chips, sandwich and meat pies
Save a couple quid and go grab me a 3-5
Anything for a cheap night
Drink 'til I fall, pray to God that I revive
I'm from up North, I was born on the deep side
You think that your city's seen it all, you ain't seen mine
Throw it back, let me rewind
Never got my grades, told mumzy I'd be fine
Set my head straight, had to focus on me time
We only got one life and I'm tryna keep mine
But fuck it, I ain't stressin', I'll just play it by ear
Love the ends, up the ends, same way I can't trust the ends
But home is where the heart is so I'm stayin' right here
[Chorus: New Machine]
Yeah, I've been waiting for sunshine
Instead of being stuck on the frontline
Feel like I've been here enough times
I've been waiting for
A little piece of the sunshine
Instead of being stuck on the frontline
Feel like I've been here enough times
I've been waiting—
[Outro]
Fuck it, open it up
Manchester, make some noise
AJ! One, two (Wait)
One, two, three go!
