[Chorus: Prince Rapid]
You keep on watching from the outside
But you don't know what's on the inside
So why you wasting my time?
'Cause I haven't got time to burn, no
I'm still up in the ghetto-o-o
Mama asking "where's dough?"
I tell her that it's coming, coming
Coming, coming, coming, coming, yeah
[Verse 1: Slix]
Everybody gather round, it's an exhibition
And criticise all our steps on this expedition
They clock my fabrics, they say I'm that shit
We get money but I ain't fabricating jack shit
Still in the hood, Star in the Hood, hoodie on, what's good?
Surrounded by bloods in the night like my name was Suge
But don't get me wrong, I would leave if I could
Certain looks I get makes me feel that I should
I am prejudged, premeditated
I've been to hell, it's tainted, but still ain't elevated
Ain't seen the sun for ages, ain't heard my mum for ages
Not asking me for wages, God damn, I gotta make it
I'm a hot boy with a cool girl
Hoping that life treats me kind in this cruel world
Always been defiant, hell yeah, I'm tired of trying
So now I'm killing giants while you just sit there eyeing
[Chorus: Prince Rapid]
You keep on watching from the outside
But you don't know what's on the inside
So why you wasting my time?
'Cause I haven't got time to burn, no
I'm still up in the ghetto-o-o
Mama asking "where's dough?"
I tell her that it's coming, coming
Coming, coming, coming, coming, yeah
[Verse 2: Dirty Danger]
This life ain't what it seems
'Cause hardly anybody really gets to live these dreams (real talk)
I grew up with a bag full of talents
Now half of them are dealers or fiends (so sad)
Uh, it's so hard where we come from
So when we rep, we don't forget where we come from (E3)
Let me introduce you to the dungeon
Where I reside, it's the east side of London
Ghetto (ghetto), they don't say hello (hello)
In an altercation, man lose their patience, they let go (let go)
They can't walk well with what's on my feet, 'cause it's freezing on my street
I never knock a n***a's hustle 'cause everybody needs to eat
Straight from the cardiac muscle (from my heart)
Every pump in my heart's for the hustle (believe)
All I wanna do is live a good life
Couple kids and a wife where they never have to struggle (love)
[Chorus: Prince Rapid]
You keep on watching from the outside
But you don't know what's on the inside
So why you wasting my time?
'Cause I haven't got time to burn, no
I'm still up in the ghetto-o-o
Mama asking "where's dough?"
I tell her that it's coming, coming
Coming, coming, coming, coming, yeah
[Verse 3: Tinchy Stryder]
Yeah, before the hustle, gain, I went through struggle, pain
Running through my system, blood vessel, veins
Fight through, strain, it's a colossal gain
Outside looking in, you see the crystal chain
Deep curse, dealing with the pressures and it's all because I peaked first
Now I'm feeling reinvented, you could call it rebirth
And it's better than my past lives
I play my role, no casting, it's all life
You know Strydes, me, I'm straight from the Bow sides
No tailored suits or bow ties, take a look through both eyes
From the soul, no lies, this is the life I chose to live
Energy's all negative, feeling drained, not a lot to give
Well, welcome to the cold life, but I'm feeling hotter than I've ever been
They with me again, I can truly say I'm relishing (can't wait)
Yeah, sincere with the punishment
I'm the one of one, know they can hear me coming in
[Chorus: Prince Rapid]
You keep on watching from the outside
But you don't know what's on the inside
So why you wasting my time?
'Cause I haven't got time to burn, no
I'm still up in the ghetto-o-o
Mama asking "where's dough?"
I tell her that it's coming, coming
Coming, coming, coming, coming, yeah
You keep on watching from the outside
But you don't know what's on the inside
So why you wasting my time?
'Cause I haven't got time to burn, no
I'm still up in the ghetto-o-o
Mama asking "where's dough?"
I tell her that it's coming, coming
Coming, coming, coming, coming, yeah, mmm, yeah
