[Pre-Chorus: Central Cee]
I don't want to rap all the time, it's long
I say how I feel, it just happens to rhyme
I thought my collars were growin', I got me some money
This ain't what I had in my mind
I been in the states for a month, now I'm hearin' my dogs say I left them behind
She give me head on the flight when we land, the clock go back, I'm ahead of my time

[Chorus: Central Cee]
016 OG told me I should be in the trap but I'm rappin' instead
Done it again
It's half past ten, yeah I made me a ten, they ain't got out of bed
Hand ting there but I ran out of lead
One call make broski blam out your head
We're the one puttin' on West, not them
They got more money than sense

[Verse: Central Cee]
Sweet one keep givin' me stress
I ain't giving her sex, I'm handlin' biz
I grew where the savages live
My sisters violent, grabbin' out wigs
Lil broski too tried giddy and we got the belly, ain't havin' no kids
My bros don't care about clout, why do you think you can't see Wadz in the vid?
They came to the country tryna live good, his mum's country is where they stabbed her kid
Got caught cheatin' and I said it weren't me, I lied about that I won't cap about this
Too many tings say that I'm a prick 'cause I bust my nut and duck out quick
Came with the gang, got gyal that are bait on the gram, ah man, tryna suck our dick
Knew damn well I wasn't comin' back when I told shawty I'll spin back 'round
I know how it feels to be broke, of course, I been down bad and up town
Beverly Hills and Mr Chow, I'd rather Panda Express
Get sucked in and sell my soul, I'd rather trap instead
[Pre-Chorus: Central Cee]
I don't want to rap all the time, it's long
I say how I feel, it just happens to rhyme
I thought my collars were growin', I got me some money
This ain't what I had in my mind
I been in the states for a month, now I'm hearin' my dogs say I left them behind
She give me head on the flight when we land, the clock go back, I'm ahead of my time

[Chorus: Central Cee]
016 OG told me I should be in the trap but I'm rappin' instead
Done it again
It's half past ten, yeah I made me a ten, they ain't got out of bed
Hand ting there but I ran out of lead
One call make broski blam out your head
We're the one puttin' on West, not them
They got more money than cents

[Verse: Fredo & Central Cee]
Puttin' on West
Could've been dead but I'm winnin' instead (Head)
We're the ones puttin' on West, not them
I got the same
