From the Outside (Explicit) - Wiley/Teddy/JME
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 macho on people eediat tunes
Cause really Wiley goes in
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 that to me is they want easy
I can't show skills
For the wayward music they want brother
I don't want mils
I don't want mils
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
Yeah you could do the hook for me
Or I could do the hook for free
Got a rave booked at 1
Leave a hour gap then I'm booked till three
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
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 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 'em scared and shook like
I just got signed and dropped
Let go from the deal
I'm ma stack till I get mils
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
Yeah you could do the hook for me
Or I could do the hook for free
Got a rave booked at 1
Leave a hour gap then I'm booked till three
I don't know who's 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 f**k 'em
