Lyrics

Like It or Not

[Hook: Breeze]

Ride for the side, die for the team

First in the scene, like it or not

Ride for the side, die for the team

First in the scene, like it or not

Been around the block, spin around the block

Been around the top, my streets hot

Been around the block, spin around the block

Been around the top, like it or not

[Verse 1: Wiley]

Like it or not, I was at the start

You was sayin', "Stop dat", we was in the dance

We were gettin' reloads inside clubs

We were gettin' reloads out in the parks

Flew past everyone who had a head start

Time flew quick, then I had to get smart

Now it's a new day, everybody's got new ways

That's why I'm not livin' in the past

I perceived the whole game on the whole same as a ref

Started on the right but I came from the left

Born in the east but stayed in the west

Put my money down, I ain't changin' my bet

Never been a goal-hanger 'cause I can dribble

I was in jungle sprayin' bars with Riddles

Used to blaze weed, eat food, get the giggles

See me in a sweet shop lookin' for the Skittles

[Hook: Breeze]

Ride for the side, die for the team

First in the scene, like it or not

Ride for the side, die for the team

First in the scene, like it or not

Been around the block, spin around the block

Been around the top, my streets hot

Been around the block, spin around the block

Been around the top, like it or not

[Verse 2: Wiley]

Like it or not, I came from the block

What I've seen might just leave you in shock

Man are in the station, prison or dock

Man are on the street with MACs, knives and Glocks

And dons gettin' ran down, chased round blocks

Dons gettin' skied by multiple shots

Dons gettin' kidnapped, dons gettin' robbed

That's why I tell a don, "Just go get a job"

Blud, I was on the roof, I was in the trenches

I was on the mic chattin' 'bout sixth senses

I was on the radio, legal and pirate

I was in the hood when they first called Trident

Doors gettin' kicked off, guns gettin' found

How'd you think I produced the coldest sound?

I was in the zone, anywhere you go

You can tell a man this ain't a bogus sound

[Hook: Breeze]

Ride for the side, die for the team

First in the scene, like it or not

Ride for the side, die for the team

First in the scene, like it or not

Been around the block, spin around the block

Been around the top, my streets hot

Been around the block, spin around the block

Been around the top, like it or not

Ride for the side, die for the team

First in the scene, like it or not

Ride for the side, die for the team

First in the scene, like it or not

Been around the block, spin around the block

Been around the top, my streets hot

Been around the block, spin around the block

Been around the top, like it or not

[Verse 3: Wiley]

Yo, do it every year, fam, I never stop

The level of my lyrics will never drop

You've been watchin' us years now

I've already written gold bars I could never top

Made sick beats I could never top

Couple ideas that will never drop

Started together in the game

Some man are so sick with it but they will never pop

Me and my team will forever pop

I ain't gotta go and get a better job

This one's cool, we all get along

Man want a tea? Put the kettle on

Clear my brain and I'm better off

If you know she's mad, then don't set her off

Told you before

I do my show, then I'm jettin' off

[Hook: Breeze]

Ride for the side, die for the team

First in the scene, like it or not

Ride for the side, die for the team

First in the scene, like it or not

Been around the block, spin around the block

Been around the top, my streets hot

Been around the block, spin around the block

Been around the top, like it or not
