Krept, Konan, Wretch
Let them keys play
[Verse 1: Krept]
Yo, I gotta get out of the streets, son
'Cah it's nuttin' but pain where I be from
Gotta watch the way you talk in this mean slum
They'll pitch it off for your chat, that's a screen munch (real talk)
I've always dreamt about bussing
A wasteman's something I don't wanna become
But the hood can't break the unbreakable
I wanna fly to the top; I know I'm capable
I've been talented, I won't waste it
Cleaning up the underground and I ain't even made it
They don't even get my bars so how they gon' raisе it?
Wretch told me I'm a song away so I'm patient
Evеn though I need more, I'ma state this
I've got quite far and I appreciate it
'Cause I was in the hood spitting outside Favourites
Now I'm doing tracks with my favourites (ahh yeah)
[Chorus: Loick Essien]
I've gotta get out of here, quickly as I can (I need out of here)
I've gotta get out of here, baby, 'cause love don't live here no more
I've gotta get out of here before my heart starts to break (starts to break), don't know how much I can take (I can't take it)
You promised you would keep me safe (you promised), oh-oh
[Verse 2: Konan]
(Kones) I used the underground as a platform
You could say it's like training
I've seen mums lose sons
Probably why it's always raining
Been through hell and it ain't even winter
And even in summer, I still wanna leave
'Cause now everybody recognises my boat
Jump onstage and give 'em something to see
Tired of the hood but still gotta sleep here
Got my hat down 'cause it's peak here
It's only when I got a little buzz
That's when I realised how much I didn't wanna be here
I'd rather leave the rest to it
Now they all wanna know what me and Krept's doing
Gotta get out, I know I'll get through it
Big smile on my face when I seen Wretch do it, Kone
[Chorus: Loick Essien]
I've gotta get out of here, quickly as I can (I need out of here)
I've gotta get out of here, baby, 'cause love don't live here no more
I've gotta get out of here before my heart starts to break (starts to break), don't know how much I can take (I can't take it)
You promised you would keep me safe (you promised), oh-oh
[Verse 3: Wretch 32]
Today, I opened the papers and saw my kids' names
Something like that will make you really hate fame
I just wanna wrap, they just wanna snap
But they don't think about the person in the picture that they paint
What dad can't protect their kids from being exposed?
You could see the look on my face when my press phoned
Is it worth the stress? Yes? No?
We're tryna be the next Tupac until we're Death Row'd
This gift that I have, it was God-sent
So why do I feel cursed? I'm a hostage
Would it be worst if I lost it?
I'd have to pay the price, yeah, tell me what it cost them
Yeah, keep buying all their nonsense
You can't make mistakes when the whole world's watching
Guess there's a flip side to every pound
When they're tryna show their heads all the tales that they found
[Chorus: Loick Essien]
I've gotta get out of here, quickly as I can (I need out of here)
I've gotta get out of here, baby, 'cause love don't live here no more
I've gotta get out of here before my heart starts to break (starts to break), don't know how much I can take (I can't take it)
You promised you would keep me safe (you promised), oh-oh
