[Hook]

Been grinding for my whole life, never been a lowlife

Gotta get my dough right

I don't know about those guys, never saw them on the roadside

Been grinding for my whole life, never been a lowlife

Gotta get my dough right

I don't know about those guys, never saw them on the roadside

[Verse 1]

Young on the strip, should've gone down the mosque

P13 was the bus round the block

Girls buss it open when they come round a boss

Don't hate me cause you're rubbed out and washed

I came up on the roads

Spent my teens with fiends, dots on me like dominoes

Hundred phones, could've been sponsored by Nokia

Made me conquer you, you couldn't see me with binoculars

Ran through my first mill, let birds chill in Herne Hill

Old passa, grown matters, suttin can get burst still

Go to war like Churchill, I don't think these nerds real

Thousands on a girl's heels, my Versace shirt silk

Cracked a tooth, went Harley Street for an implant

Now I'm in Chanel with like ten bands in France

Diamonds on me dancing like Lingard

You're listening to a mob boss in charge

[Hook]

Been grinding for my whole life, never been a lowlife

Gotta get my dough right

I don't know about those guys, never saw them on the roadside

Been grinding for my whole life, never been a lowlife

Gotta get my dough right

I don't know about those guys, never saw them on the roadside

[Verse 2]

Young on the strip, ahead of my time

Bread on my mind, I was always destined to shine

A lot of madness on the ends, a lot of man were on the fence

Reflecting on what I lost, what I made and what I spent

I was in a Honda then, years before I got a Benz

Years before I got revenge, now my money's long for them

I dunno where the loyalty and honour went

Every action has a consequence, where's your common sense?

Trapped in different continents, things you couldn't comprehend

Used to getting compliments, she likes me cause I'm confident

Where you wanna fly babe? Rack for a night stay

£5K for the five star for five days

I was trapped in the gutter like crabs in a bucket

Now there's lobster and crab in my stomach

A lot of man chat like they're on it

I've got racks in my pocket, I ain't ever had a wallet

[Hook]

Been grinding for my whole life, never been a lowlife

Gotta get my dough right

I don't know about those guys, never saw them on the roadside

Been grinding for my whole life, never been a lowlife

Gotta get my dough right

I don't know about those guys, never saw them on the roadside
