Broken Promises (Get Outta Here)

[Intro: Wretch 32]

Krept, Konan, Wretch

Let them keys play

[Verse 1: Krept]

Yo, I gotta get out of the streets, son

'Cah it's nuttin' but pain where I be from

Gotta watch the way you talk in this mean slum

They'll pitch it off for your chat, that's a screen munch (real talk)

I've always dreamt about bussing

A wasteman's something I don't wanna become

But the hood can't break the unbreakable

I wanna fly to the top; I know I'm capable

I've been talented, I won't waste it

Cleaning up the underground and I ain't even made it

They don't even get my bars so how they gon' raisе it?

Wretch told me I'm a song away so I'm patient

Evеn though I need more, I'ma state this

I've got quite far and I appreciate it

'Cause I was in the hood spitting outside Favourites

Now I'm doing tracks with my favourites (ahh yeah)

[Chorus: Loick Essien]

I've gotta get out of here, quickly as I can (I need out of here)

I've gotta get out of here, baby, 'cause love don't live here no more

I've gotta get out of here before my heart starts to break (starts to break), don't know how much I can take (I can't take it)

You promised you would keep me safe (you promised), oh-oh

[Verse 2: Konan]

(Kones) I used the underground as a platform

You could say it's like training

I've seen mums lose sons

Probably why it's always raining

Been through hell and it ain't even winter

And even in summer, I still wanna leave

'Cause now everybody recognises my boat

Jump onstage and give 'em something to see

Tired of the hood but still gotta sleep here

Got my hat down 'cause it's peak here

It's only when I got a little buzz

That's when I realised how much I didn't wanna be here

I'd rather leave the rest to it

Now they all wanna know what me and Krept's doing

Gotta get out, I know I'll get through it

Big smile on my face when I seen Wretch do it, Kone

[Chorus: Loick Essien]

I've gotta get out of here, quickly as I can (I need out of here)

I've gotta get out of here, baby, 'cause love don't live here no more

I've gotta get out of here before my heart starts to break (starts to break), don't know how much I can take (I can't take it)

You promised you would keep me safe (you promised), oh-oh

[Verse 3: Wretch 32]

Today, I opened the papers and saw my kids' names

Something like that will make you really hate fame

I just wanna wrap, they just wanna snap

But they don't think about the person in the picture that they paint

What dad can't protect their kids from being exposed?

You could see the look on my face when my press phoned

Is it worth the stress? Yes? No?

We're tryna be the next Tupac until we're Death Row'd

This gift that I have, it was God-sent

So why do I feel cursed? I'm a hostage

Would it be worst if I lost it?

I'd have to pay the price, yeah, tell me what it cost them

Yeah, keep buying all their nonsense

You can't make mistakes when the whole world's watching

Guess there's a flip side to every pound

When they're tryna show their heads all the tales that they found

[Chorus: Loick Essien]

I've gotta get out of here, quickly as I can (I need out of here)

I've gotta get out of here, baby, 'cause love don't live here no more

I've gotta get out of here before my heart starts to break (starts to break), don't know how much I can take (I can't take it)

You promised you would keep me safe (you promised), oh-oh
