[Intro] Teddy [Verse 1: Wiley] I've been in the wrong system, the wrong territory For way too long If I say it's right and I show it to Johnny, looks back at me Like it sounds wrong Who am I making music for then? (Ask him) Me, the label, or him? I go mad showin' people eediat tunes 'Cause really Wiley goes in (That's right) I'm torn between catering for me and the fans (I'm going mad) I only hear my big hits where people go to get tans (Beach) What's sad to me is they want easy, I can't show skills (Can't show skills) For the wayward music they want brother, I don't want mils (I don't want mils) [Chorus: Wiley] I step back looking in from the outside (Yeah) Wondering if it sounds right Sounds good to me (Sounds good) On this path it's good to be (Yeah) You could do the hook for me (Okay) Or I could do the hoe for free (That's right) Got a rave booked at one Leave a hour gap then I'm booked 'til three [Verse 2: Teddy] Ooh, hahahaha Where do I start with this one? I was on the outside trying to get inside With the tools outside I got inside In a matter of time I was doing a lot (Yeah) Might see me with a lighty on the block (Yeah) Wiley told me to murk this So I gotta make this worth it (Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom) When I spit, spit to kill Not only Fruity Loops that I kill I'm a lord of the beats fam Check YouTube Every man knows that it got real Five bills for a grime beat, that's real Had a man scared and shook like I just got Signed and dropped, let go from a deal I'ma stack 'til I get mils [Chorus: Wiley] I step back looking in from the outside (Yeah) Wondering if it sounds right Sounds good to me (Sounds good) On this path it's good to be (Yeah) You could do the hook for me (Okay) Or I could do the hoe for free (That's right) Got a rave booked at one Leave a hour gap then I'm booked 'til three [Verse 3: Jme] I don't know who's approval man's seeking Or what crowd man's tryna be reaching (What) Don't wanna make tunes that are bait I make music for an acquired taste (Yeah) Started doing this thing 'cause I loved it Not to make tunes for the general public (No) Our music is made to measure Wiley is a national treasure (Serious) Not everybody is gonna like it If they don't like it, fuck 'em Man really started from the bottom Walk in to radio, man ain't forgotten (Trust) I used to pay five pound a week to get heard Now I get five bags for spoken word (Yeah) Personally I think man's winning And it's only the end of the beginning [Chorus: Wiley] I step back looking in from the outside (Yeah) Wondering if it sounds right Sounds good to me (Sounds good) On this path it's good to be (Yeah) You could do the hook for me (Okay) Or I could do the hoe for free (That's right) Got a rave booked at one Leave a hour gap then I'm booked 'til three [Outro: Wiley] I step back looking in from the outside (Yeah) Wondering if it sounds right Sounds good to me (Sounds good) On this path it's good to be (Yeah) You could do the hook for me (Okay) Or I could do the hoe for free (That's right) Got a rave booked at one Leave a hour gap then I'm booked 'til three
