From The Outside Lyrics - Snakes & Ladders - Wiley

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 eat their 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 for me (Okay) 

Or I could do the for free (That's right!) 

Got a rave booked at one 

Leave an hour gap then I'm booked til three (uuhh)

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 slike I just got signed and dropped, let go from the deal 

I'mma stack till I get mils

Got a rave booked at 1 

Leave an hour gap then I'm booked til 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, fuck 'em 

Man really started from the bottom 

Walk in to radio, man ain't forgotten 

I used to pay 5 pounds a week to get heard 

Now I get five bags for spoken word 

Personally I think man's winning 

And it's only the end of the beginning 

I step back looking in from the outside 

Wondering if it sounds right 

Sounds good to me
