Testo From the Outside - Wiley feat. Teddy & JME
Testo della canzone From the Outside (Wiley feat. Teddy & JME), tratta dall'album Snakes & Ladders
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 John
He looks back at me like it sounds wrong
Who am I making music for then?
Me, the label or him?
I go mad showing people idiot tunes
'Cause really Wiley goes in
I'm torn between catering for me and the fans
I only hear my big hits where people go to get tans
What's sad to me is they want easy, I can't show skills
For the wayward music they want brother, I don't want mills
I step back looking in from the outside
Wondering if it sounds right
Sounds good to me
On this path it's good to be
You could do the hook for me
Or I could do the hook for free
Got a rave booked at one
Leave an hour gap then I'm booked at three
Where do I start with this one?
I was on the outside tryna get inside
With the tools outside I got inside
In a matter of time I'm doing a lot
Might see me with a lighty on the block
Wiley told me to murk this so I gotta make this worth it
When I spit I 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 left foot from a deal
I'ma stack 'til I get mills
I step back looking in from the outside
Wondering if it sounds right
Sounds good to me
On this path it's good to be
You could do the hook for me
Or I could do the hook for free
Got a rave booked at one
Leave an hour gap then I'm booked at three
I don't know whose approval man's seeking
Or what crowd man's tryna be reaching
Don't wanna make tunes that are bait
I make music for an acquired taste
Started doing this thing 'cause I loved it
Not to make tunes for the general public
Our music is made to measure
Wiley is a national treasure
Not everybody is gonna like it
If they don't like it, fuck 'em
Man really started from the bottom
Walk into radio, man ain't forgotten
I used to pay five pound a week to get heard
Now I get five bags for spoken word
Personally I think man's winning
And it's only the end of the beginning
I step back looking in from the outside
Wondering if it sounds right
Sounds good to me
On this path it's good to be
You could do the hook for me
Or I could do the hook for free
Got a rave booked at one
Leave an hour gap then I'm booked at three
I step back looking in from the outside
Wondering if it sounds right
Sounds good to me
On this path it's good to be
You could do the hook for me
Or I could do the hook for free
Got a rave booked at one
Leave an hour gap then I'm booked at three
