[Chorus - Emeli Sandé]
Made it through the fire, made it through the free
And now I'm getting higher than I've ever been
They tried to keep me locked up, tried to keep me down
But tables turn around, watch out
Try stop me now, try stop me now
[Verse 1 - Rimzee]
Used to have rips in my school clothes
Now it's £200K for the wardrobe
Only drive it if it's foreign
This whip got no top but we started at the bottom
Remember days we had nothing to celebrate
But I thank them O.T. trips man, Ella Mai
Came up the gang way, seats handmade
Always knew I'd gеt there, Emeli Sandé
RSPCA would probably suе me for the coat
Even with no dough, man we still had hope
My life's been up and down like the markets
Always stood the tallest when them times were the hardest
I'm a risk taker, I ain't ever been fearful
Benz hologram when I hop out the vehicle
They say I don't smile much but it ain't no joke ting
You know how much man I tried put on the clothing?
[Chorus - Emeli Sandé]
Made it through the fire, made it through the free
And now I'm getting higher than I've ever been
They tried to keep me locked up, tried to keep me down
But tables turn around, watch out
Try stop me now, try stop me now
[Verse 2 - Rimzee]
Dunno why n***as try pray on my downfall
I done more for my block than the council
And I've seen more wings than Dixy
I know they want my spot man, I can't let them trick me
Bro sitting down for that grub on the trolley
But we never bend, we never fold, we're like Shotti
Pray I never fall off, that post's going back on
Never took a L that I ain't bounced back from
Thank the plug, we was drinking from gold bottles
N***as running off the plug, they got no morals
I need mills, years lost with Killz
They wanna see me in the Ville, not in Beverly Hills
Nine pound a week on the wing was my salary
Came home, n***as hating when they shoulda been proud of me
That's how it be, in the hood ain't no peace
They don't call you for no P's or they call you for beef
[Chorus - Emeli Sandé]
Made it through the fire, made it through the free
And now I'm getting higher than I've ever been
They tried to keep me locked up, tried to keep me down
But tables turn around, watch out
Try stop me now, try stop me now
