[Intro]
There are not enough seats at the table for everyone
In a society run like this, it's run on inherited privilege's
And people like me making it doesn't prove anything
Making it
It doesn't prove that the system works
Exceptions, prove the rule
(People say, "Money over everything")
(I just say, "Love over money and anything and anything")
(People say, "Money ovеr everything")
(I just say, "Love ovеr money and anything and anything")
You know
A V the-
God know, if you didn't know
V
[Verse 1]
Yeah
Too busy dreamin', I never slept
All this pressure on breadwinners, now it's baguettes
I'm hella blessed, think I'm God in the flesh
Told big bro, "Send your postcode", there's shit to address
We weren't on talking terms, seven figures when we're talking terms
My n***as mind my business, so we're all concerned
Yeah, made it happen, we didn't wait
Move, way out the endz but I'll never feel out of place
On my block, block party kicking off
I still remember being by the cage kicking rocks
Sold, crack rock, now a n***a can rock the world
If the money's ever low I hope stocks drop as well
[Verse 2]
I own shares, they ain't flexin' on me
I'm wit a, bad one who made a good impression on me
And she's, kinda fed up 'cause the feds are on me
They still, pull me over like I've got a weapon on me
[Verse 3]
I'm only, on fire, don't shoot, don't fire
I just done "Wireless", they want me through the wire, mmm
I got, house money for a stage show
I'm meant to be dead or in jail, check the ratio
Yeah, you don't get too many second chances
In the one-five, probably still be in the dinger if it, wasn't for drive
Had to punch above my weight and now I'm, hittin' them heights (Woo)
(Money over everything)
You know!
(Love over money and anything, everything)
Where I'm from the sky is the limit, so you go above and beyond
[Verse 4]
I came from humble beginnings
Really took a gamble, then I fumbled my winnings
I mean, life is a casino, you get lost when you're in it
It's like a roulette, so rewarding so unforgiving
I need, a hundred more than whatever I had before
Surrounded by millionaires, it's millionaire galore
Mind over matter, what matters more than your thoughts?
I thought about horse power, I'm peeling off in a Porsche
In Piccadilly
Car convoy 'cah I've got all my n***as with me
Moved out the ends but you know I'm still in the city
Where they're bound to know my name, I dread
Thinkin' 'bout the past in the cut without a fade 'cah
When you're level one, it's hard to understand the game
Understand that chasing dreams is, running from the jakes
When you're tryna go places, now they pay me just to show face quick
Hella' Ace of Spades, gold cases
[Verse 5]
Yeah
Gold grills
Gold plaques
Gold kettles
Both hands, gold diggers, dig man
Yo, invested like the Goldman Sachs
On my future but memories are gold in fact
Yeah, like the time I hit Hatton
And I pulled up with my G's in the latest G-Wagon
Never had a G to my name, I made it happen
When you're thoughts become things, then you'll understand Magick
[Verse 6]
Yeah, I feel alive
I feel alive, made a killing, I'm killing time
In Audemars Piguet
Ain't it funny how your life can change?
Even though my liver's probably covered in Courvoisier
I'm still alive
I'm still alive with my killy's just living life
In Club Liv, live with different types
Of women I didn't wife
Don't get me started, I'm so far from the finish line, yeah
I'm running my own race
I wouldn't be Young Fire now without Old Flame
I had to take the road to success
We grew up in the same streets
Never saw this coming back when I was 18
18K kettle
18 bottles in the venue
18 gyal, I probably need 18 rentals, yeah
I'm really livin' all my dreams
Made money, money never made me, yeah yeah
