[Verse 1]
See me
I was born for this music biz, now hoe look I done it
A couple records dropped, see me in my town, I run it
This sh*t was all I wanted, now I'm 'bout to go get it
Had these visions in my head so I put it on a record
So they, give me the credit, everything I said I meant it
These girls I used to know try to hit me with a message
And I'm like forget it, no replies I read it
Cos I'm trying to chase a dream I ain't even waste a second
[Hook]
I swear
I tell em time is of the essence
Even up in class I was writing in them lectures
I'm just trying to be better, than anyone who just did it
This music is my art, so to it I am committed
Born to stand out, f*ck trying to fit in
Take the throne, I ain't even ask permission
This is my ambition
This music that I've written be the reason that I'll go and fly the flag for Great Britain
I swear
[Verse 2]
For my moment I've been waiting and man I been so patient
I was in the back working, to the top I will be racing
London, where I'm stationed
Forever I'll be repping, tell my homies quit the b*tchin' we gon' make it in a second
We gon' make it thats for definite, anything else is out the question
But as I wrote this verse, I thanked God for this blessing;
And these rhymes that I'm penning, a window to my brain
Working 25-8, for the f****** accolades
[Hook]
I swear
I tell em time is of the essence
Even up in class I was writing in them lectures
I'm just trying to be better, than anyone who just did it
This music is my art, so to it I am committed
Born to stand out, f*ck trying to fit in
Take the throne, I ain't even ask permission
This is my ambition
This music that I've written be the reason that I'll go and fly the flag for Great Britain
I swear
[Bridge]
You know that I ain't in this for the glitz and the glamour
And you see the way that I do it, so just witness the manner
In which I switch up the channels, and kill the verses, that's standard
And I knew that I would do it, so it's part of the plan
I went from, being a fan to being the man
I went, from dreaming about to it, to it happening and
I ain't made it yet, please don't misunderstand
But know that I won't stop until I run this f*cking land
[Verse 3]
When it comes to this hustle, yo, there's levels to this sh*t
I'm coming for every gold medal in this b*tch;
I ain't peddling that sh*t, to my verses they like addicts
And I'm taking this sh*t higher, I ain't talking bout an attic
I'm just trying to write a classic, man, I'ma make it happen
Cos I told my Mumma, I'ma make it off this rapping
I'm a man of my word, so you know I'm working
I do this for my fam and the city I was birthed in
[Hook]
I swear
I tell em time is of the essence
Even up in class I was writing in them lectures
I'm just trying to be better, than anyone who just did it
This music is my art, so to it I am committed
Born to stand out, f*ck trying to fit in
Take the throne, I ain't even ask permission
This is my ambition
This music that I've written be the reason that I'll go and fly the flag for Great Britain
I swear
