[Intro: Shifty Rydos]

Shifty Rydos

Slix

You know what, yeah? You gotta chill and listen to this one

Because it's mellow

Hang tight Dirty Danger on the productions

Each and every time

Jheeze

[Verse 1: Shifty Rydos]

I woke up in the morning, I'm thirty

I'm all smiling, nothing can hurt me

Turn to the left and kiss my wife

Oh yes, oh yes, I love my life

I left my bed and walked down the hallway

Looking at all my plaques in the hallway

And they're oh so shiny, platinum

I live in a mansion, [?], son

Who would have thought this? Well, I did

Let me just go and check on my kids

So beautiful, my girls

I love them so much, they're my world, star

Then I went and stood on the balcony

Look at the sea and the wind blew back at me

And I thank God, I'm so blessed

I'm so joyful, there's no stress

Yes, and I really don't care

Why should I? I'm a millionaire

I used to say that life's not fair

But life is what you make it, yeah

I went from no whips to six in the garage

So wealthy, I could manage

See, I'm sky high, got my own jet

When I fly by, it's no sweat

Selfish? Never that, spread my wealth

To the poor, to the fam, then myself

And I got here myself

So let me tell you about myself

See, ten years ago, I was on the grind

Living in East London at the time

I was a young MC at my prime

Even then, I saw them signs

[Chorus 1: Shifty Rydos]

See, I always knew that one day

I was just gonna get here

Always smiling to the bank

I'm living life with no fear

See, I always knew that one day

I was just gonna get here

Always smiling to the bank

I'm living life with no fear

Oh yes, my life is juicy

Nowadays, I can be choosy

My life just feels like a movie

Only God, only God can move me

I said my life is juicy

Nowadays, I can be choosy

My life just feels like a movie

Only God, only God can move me

[Verse 2: Slix]

Two-oh

One-six

I slept through a whole ten-year coma

Since '06, now I'm ten years older

I never thought that cars would be flying

Grime's blew up, now everyone's rhyming

Who would have guessed life like this?

Buy tracks up the skies and (shh)

I'm cool like breeze

Take a quick glimpse and peep

I ain't touched road or street

Since I've been warped like quantum leap

I take a look at the man in the mirror

Face ageing but it's so much thicker

I wanna find out what the fam's on

So I fresh up and get some creps on

I fresh up and get some creps on

I hit the block, the usual hotspots

Things have changed, they just ain't the same

I feel trapped in the future, future

But I really wanna go back to the future

The roads are cold, the blocks have still changed

It don't look hood to me, it looks strange

Sky-high buildings, see-through trains

By now, my state is so shocked

Body all stiff up, movements all blocked

I see shops with items en masse

Take what you want, don't have to pay cash (no way)

I pinch myself, disbelieving

Is this real or am I dreaming?

And I wonder ten years from now

How it's gonna be ten years from then, I'm Slix

[Chorus 2: Slix]

I never knew that one day

I would live my life in this way

I woke up out a coma

Years later, life seems greater

I never knew that one day

I would live my life in this way

I woke up out a coma

Years later, life seems greater

Oh yeah, my life feels mixed

So it's got my feelings mixed

Eyes blurry due to the mist

Things have changed up since '06

Oh yeah, my life feels mixed

So it's got my feelings mixed

Eyes blurry due to the mist

Things have changed up since '06
