End of the Beginning

[Intro: Rachel Caeser]

Patience is a ****in' virtue

Okay, grandad always told me that

Patience is a virtue

You, you stay silent and then you come later

[Verse]

Fifty grand for the club appearance

Remember they ain't let us inside clubs

Just put a lot of work in, now I deserve a break, I'm takin' some time off

My girl no birth control if I nut inside, she'll be preggers for nine months

I ain't got the vaccine, still on the street like I don't mind gettin' the virus

We been through worse, bitches third, money sеcond, family first

Think before you speak, say how you feel, stand on it firm

I crеated a lane, runnin' the game

One-hundred a day, no calories burned

Mum, you ain't gotta work no more

One show's two times what you annually earn

Bro, you ain't gotta trap no more

It's 'bout time that we think outside of the box

Tried workin' and I applied for a job

They ain't hirin', so I made ties with the boss

I'm workin' right outside mumzy's house, I'm servin'

Same way my bro got locked, I'm nervous

If the jakes roll on the block, it's curtains

We ain't got nothin' in common

Came in the game to bag my objective

And all of the fame just came as an extra

My young boy wanna play with the presser (Presser)

He don't wanna stay in his lecture

The new world order's amongst us

Look at the ads on the phone that are poppin' up

Really and truly I should've done fraud

But back in the day the trap was popular

She said a trap boy's her type

But she don't know what it consists of

I ain't your type if when I got clients bellin' the line you're pissed off

Patience, gotta have patience

Sittin' in traffic all day give me road rage

I saw a rack, it was love at first sight

Me and the Lizzy are soulmates

Man of the moment, I stick to the programme

Put down her phone if she talkin' 'bout romance

Although I'm grown, I'm still makin' a snowman (Burr)

I got a cold heart, I can't hold hands

My life in the hood soon come to an end

Bitch, it's the end of the beginning

A lot of man pretendin' with the image

Said she didn't wanna let me hit, I wouldn't hit it though

Ain't nobody get me to a milli', uh

If I'm with the guys, we don't need a bodyguard

'Cah ain't nobody gonna act silly

The darg gon' bark like a XL bully

I don't beef anybody, if I did, it'd beat the taxman (Hahaha)

I don't dress for Halloween, but if I did, I'd be the Batman

Lay her on her belly when I hit her with the backstrokes

See the way I chop it, would've thought I had a black belt

I don't even need practice, I'm a natural

I wanna hit Tennessee, and I don't mean Nashville

When you go through the things we've seen

You'll grow a lil' faster and look at life different

Some times I feel like throwin' away my phone and just goin' missin'

Fourteen years old, kicked out of the crib when I went Danielle's for Christmas

Lost time with my mum that I can't get back

And that's why I been rekindlin'

When I was in school just fiddlin'

My teacher never would've thought I'd been here

Apartment block with the gym in it

Neighbors lookin' like "How does he live here?"

Takin' it slow, I'm on cruise control

But watch when I put it in sixth gear

2021 had 'em all spun

But next year I do a lot more than this year

[Outro: Rachel Caeser & Central Cee]

Like warnings

Mhmm

Warnin' me now about you

'Cause I can't get you out my head

I really feel, yeah, something's telling me

That you need to get away now

Away from everyone

And you need to move away

You need to buy a house in the country, yeah

Mhmm

And just have your ****in' life that you deserve

Mmm
