[Intro]
Oi blud, oi blud, oi blud
Blud is that, is that Wiley's girl over there?
Blud you're-
Nah (I'm gonna draw you're girl yeah, that's what I'm gonna do, draw your girl, know that)
Draw that blud
Nah
Get him, nah
[Chorus]
I came to the game with knowledge and brain
I came to the game with anger and pain
I came to the game with no girlfriend
And I'll be leaving the game with no girlfriend
And I came to the game with girls on my line
I'll be leaving the game with girls on my line
Let's just hit the road again
Fine, I'm on the road again so let's go, okay, let's go
[Verse 1]
Back on the roads, I'm going back in the cold
I've got things to do, I've got raves to hold
I've got life to live, I've got beef on road
I've got energies to give, I come from the roadside
E3 side, that's where it started
I started half-hearted then I flipped out
Had a gun in my hand barking
It was all about guts but
I don't wanna be death marked
No skylarking, done with the laughing
No more smiling up at me
I'm compiling up lyrics for songs
I'm waiting for my comebacks to comeback
For all of the wrongs I've done
I put it all into the songs I do
It's just music, now that's all I can do, that's all
I'm worth something, I'm putting it in, that's all
Weak MCs can't challenge me, that's all
[Chorus]
I came to the game with knowledge and brain
I came to the game with anger and pain
I came to the game with no girlfriend
And I'll be leaving the game with no girlfriend
And I came to the game with girls on my line
I'll be leaving the game with girls on my line
Let's just hit the road again
Fine, I'm on the road again so let's go, okay, that's it
[Verse 2]
The next time I stop moving will be never
My life will be music forever
Wherever I go after life I'll be doing it
Still I'm a top boy, still I'm a hot boy, still
Still my plans are getting more money
Remain in my brain, I'm moving still
I can't change the game, I'm placed at still
Getting ready for the heavy weight title still
Who's got the power you will never know about
See me with your girlfriend when I'm on the go about
If I come into your ends I don't wanna know about beef
Just wanna know about girls and what money can be made
I live nowhere so the police can't raid me
E3 maybe, family made me
I was always gonna bust from a baby
But I had to wait for my time and
[Chorus]
I came to the game with knowledge and brain
I came to the game with anger and pain
I came to the game with no girlfriend
And I'll be leaving the game with no girlfriend
And I came to the game with girls on my line
I'll be leaving the game with girls on my line
Let's just hit the road again
Fine, I'm on the road again so let's go, okay
[Interlude]
38 boy, and Eskimo boy
38 boy, and Eskimo boy
38 boy, and Eskimo boy
38 boy, and Eskimo boy)
[Chorus]
I came to the game with knowledge and brain
I came to the game with anger and pain
I came to the game with no girlfriend
And I'll be leaving the game with no girlfriend
And I came to the game with girls on my line
I'll be leaving the game with girls on my line
Let's just hit the road again
Fine, I'm on the road again so let's go, okay
[Outro]

Blud you're-
Nah (I'm gonna draw you're girl yeah, that's what I'm gonna do, draw your girl, know that)
Draw that blud
Nah

Wiley’s not interested in getting into a relationship during his time as a grime artist. In many of Wiley’s earlier tunes, such as this one, Wiley has expressed his displeasure towards relationships and wanting to be free.
Wiley has also expressed his willingness to cheat:
I mean naughty girls that ain’t scared to cheat
I ain’t scared to cheat, it keeps life exciting
E3 is the postcode for Bow, East London, which is where Wiley grew up. Wiley commonly shouts out his postcode in various songs, such as on “E3 Link Up” and “E3 Talent” earlier on in the Tunnel Vision mixtape series.
E3 was also home to many other grime pioneers, such as Dizzee Rascal and Ruff Sqwad.

When grime was relatively new, it went by many names. One of them, created by Wiley, was “Eskibeat”. Wiley himself also went by the name Eski and Eskiboy.
The Eski theme derives from the term Eskimo (indigenous peoples living in extremely cold regions like Siberia or Alaska). Wiley’s instrumental “Eskimo” is widely considered to be one of the first grime songs ever made.
Grime has always had a cold, icy feel which reflected Wiley’s mindset at the time. Wiley explained in 2003:
I’m a winter person but the cold… sometimes I just feel cold hearted. I felt cold at that time, towards my family, towards everyone. That’s why I used those names. I was going to use “North Pole” but I didn’t even get that far. It was all things that were cold because that’s how I was feeling. There are times when I feel warm. I am a nice person but sometimes I switch off and I’m just cold. I feel angry and cold.
