"Snakes & Ladders (Part Two)"


[Verse]

I just threw a four and I took a ladder to four-two

Then I threw a seven and I went along to five-six

Snakes there now I'm avoiding a crisis

One step away from a ladder that was righteous

Then I rolled a five that took me up to seventy

When I reach the top a generation remembers me

Living a legend, had me a couple of generous genuine fans in the game that like me cause I resemble me

Then I threw an eight, now I'm on seventy-eight

No I'll be lying to you if I said I'd never be late

I roll again, ten, hate, now I'm sitting at eight-eight

See the goal staring, that's the end of a great date

My flow's way above the pay grade

No dro, then I'm back in to blaze grade

Threw a five to nine-four, a six to hundred's what I live my life for


[Hook]

"Born in the Cold" (feat. Andreena Mill)


[Verse 1: Wiley]

Eski boy, yeah

I was born in the cold, it's not make belief

I hit the ice like a maple leaf

I can't spit if I don't rate the beat

Don't push cause you're gonna make me hate the beat

My cousin's got iPhones on silver cheap

Street raised me, now I'm gonna raise the street

My mind might flip, go astray for weeks

I went to look for it, then it came to me

When I was young, never had a brain for trees

Slush puppies kid, swap brain for freeze

E-S the game changed, I changed the greeze

Cause a blizzard anywhere I take my feet

But let me take you to a place where I chase my P's

London, the place where I grate my cheese

And if you can't hustle you won't last there

I seen people crumble in a half year

Swear I like when I see the youth doing good things

Cause I want them to know what doing good brings

I've been there myself and now I'm gonna help you

You don't want what the hood brings

Look away from it, looks good but please don't play with it

My advice, I'm a vice got me looking for the cold

And I don't know if I'll ever go


[Hook: Andreena Mill]

I'm running to the sky

I wanna go

Cause I be on a natural high, high, high


[Verse 2: Wiley]

I was born in the cold, snow falling

Way before snowboarding

I swear winter can hear me calling

Still had a good heart even when I weren't balling

Life's like a game of snakes and ladders, ups and downs

Everybody rushing around but I'm loving the sound of it

Keeps me going, yeah, keeps me flowing

I got the drive that will drive all around the world

And spread the word, get people knowing

I come alive anywhere on the earth

Can't lie, the fan base is growing

Quite noble, recording at Noble

Feel like a local

Always searching for the perfect vocal

To be precise we're using Pro Tools

My city need this, cause we breathe this

Natural talent, can't say you got it if you haven't

I like to be diverse and keep a good balance

They know I work hard for it

I'm gonna be the next star of it

Free spirit music

I'm a free spirit and my living can prove it

I'm always chilling or cruising

Snakes, snakes, snakes

"And Again" (feat. God's Gift) [produced by Danny Yen]


[Verse 1: Wiley]

It's a new day now but I ain't holding back

Spit bars like I'm on an old school Roll Deep track (Tiger)

Went top 5 with a sound that I will pursue

But I gotta let them know I'm not only that

Told you I'm gonna win, even though I sin

I once was a prince but know I am a king

I play it all down but now I'm gonna blink

Cause I may as well embrace the bloodclart ting

It's a new day so we are gonna do new things

The revolution's over so we're gonna do two things

Whatever we like, whenever we want

No matter what you and who thinks

We'll roll up to the pub where you and who drinks

Told you I am a don, this scene I run

I spit sick bars but I can do a song

I play it all down but you know I was the one

So now I may as well embrace the vibe that I'm on

[Verse 3: Wiley]

It's a new day nobody ain't telling me shit

Don't mess about so I take down enemies quick

Can't leave grime cause I love that, can't you tell

I told myself I don't really give a eff what my enemies think

Got skill it's not a myth, how I exist

I took one five yeah I took the piss

If I take shots yeah I ain't gonna miss

So I may as well embrace the fact that I'm this

"Fuck It" (produced by Deeco)


[Verse 1]

BBK is the team, that's Boy Better Know

And we're living out that dream, them boys better know

Let off the bars all day, no problem

Don't just sent me a couple of beats, I don't want them

I want fire, I want fire

I want tracks that take a man higher

I want tracks that take a man forward

I can't spit on that, it feels awkward

I got a flow, deadly like cyanide

You're bound to hear me when I'm flying by

Genius, I know it

I don't need to front cause I show it

When I'm being myself they cannot hear me

When I'm being myself they cannot hear me

But when I tame it down then they can hear me

But when I tame it down then they can hear me

I got gassed up by this riddim sent from Deeco

Life of Wiley finally saw me roll through Heathrow

I can't believe how much of the history that he knows

He's sayin' I'm a legend, just do this thing for the people, for the people

When I find a 5 I'm not scared to buss it

Came from the heart, that's why I trust it


[Hook]

Take my time, I ain't gonna rush it

I'm doing what I want, fuck it

Fuck it

Take my time, I ain't gonna rush it

I'm doing what I want, fuck it

Fuck it

Take my time, I ain't gonna rush it

I'm doing what I want, fuck it

Fuck it


[Verse 2]

Some fans still want all the music from the year 2000

Them vibes, won't get them again

That was then when we found 'em

That's askin' a lot when I'm fair on the pitch passing a lot

I got quite sick of opinions, rise above now I'm laughing a lot

Stuck in the mud, overseas and I'm in luck with the buds

Zone out to the crazy stuff

All if the ifs and the buts and the maybe stuff

Wanna do what nobody does

Take a risk cause nobody does

I ain't playing it safe any more

I ain't playing that make or break any more

Cause when I'm being myself they cannot hear me

When I'm being myself they cannot hear me

But when I tame it down then they can hear me

But when I tame it down then they can hear me

That perfect blend of love and hate could take you flying

But you will get left behind if you're not trying

I told my dons I've had enough and I'm not lying

Some MCs try to paint a picture but I ain't buying


[Hook]

Take my time, I ain't gonna rush it

I'm doing what I want, fuck it

Fuck it

Take my time, I ain't gonna rush it

I'm doing what I want, fuck it

Fuck it

Take my time, I ain't gonna rush it

I'm doing what I want, fuck it

Fuck it
