[Intro]
(Pantha)
[Chorus: Wretch 32]
Not one penny short of earnings, yeah
Not two smart fi learning, yeah
Not free till we earn it, yeah
Hold on, the bridge is burning, yeah
[Verse 1: Wretch 32]
Confusion only starts when we're looking at who we are
Standing in a crowd of people and walking a lonely path
Confusion only lasts when we're bickering with each other
Am I my brother's keeper or keeping my brother stuck?
'Cause I'm shutting my mother up and selling my brother grub
If I had a part to play, it was only a part for us
The rent was never paid, I told you, "In God we trust"
That's why we've got a prayer for evеrything in the slums
Every nibble or crumbs, hеavy pick up a—
My bredrin shot his shot, now he's fretting to see the judge
And if the lion is the king then you better Simba your cubs
And use every ounce of pride when holding Simba above
The grass is never greener, they told us we're in the mud
But every time they plant a seed, we turn the flower to bud
[Pre-Chorus: Wretch 32]
I help you just fi get on
And then you get on and then forget about us
You left me in the barrel, it doesn't matter
Mussy too heavy for ya
Mussy too heavy for ya
[Chorus: Wretch 32]
Not one penny short of earnings, yeah
Not two smart fi learning, yeah
Not free till we earn it, yeah
Hold on, the bridge is burning, yeah
[Verse 2: Protoje]
Bridges burn, lesson learn, you see me hurt
Friends lurk behind curtains wishing worst
Favours don't get returned in this universe
Gratitude is a burden what you disperse
Quick and fast, you forget the past
It was good yesterday, yesterday never last
Here comes tomorrow, bring you likkle joy
Coulda bring you likkle sorrow, which mindset you ah follow, huh?
[Pre-Chorus: Wretch 32 & Protoje]
I help you just fi get on
And then you get on and then forget about us (Forget)
You left me in the barrel, it doesn't matter
Mussy too heavy for ya
Mussy too heavy for ya
[Chorus: Wretch 32]
Not one penny short of earnings, yeah
Not two smart fi learning, yeah
Not free till we earn it, yeah
Hold on, the bridge is burning, yeah
[Outro: Wretch 32]
I help you just fi get on
And then you get on and then forget about us
