Wiley - Snakes & Ladders (Part Two) lyrics

[Verse 1:] I just threw a four and I took a ladder to four-two Then I threw a seven and I went along to five-six Snakes there now I'm avoiding a crisis One step away from a ladder that was righteous Then I rolled a five that took me up to seventy When I reach the top a generation remembers me Living a legend, had me a couple of generous genuine fans in the game that like me cause I resemble me Then I threw an eight, now I'm on seventy-eight No I'll be lying to you if I said I'd never be late I roll again, ten, hate, now I'm sitting at eight-eight See the goal staring, that's the end of a great date My flow's way above the pay grade No dro, then I'm back in to blaze grade Threw a five to nine-four, a six to hundred's what I live my life for [Hook 1 x2:] Snakes E-s**-I B-O, E-s**-I B-O-Y E-S, E-s**-I B-O-Y E-s**-I B-O, E-s**-I B-O-Y Snakes, snakes, snakes E-s**-I B-O, E-s**-I B-O-Y Snakes, snakes, snakes ["Born in the Cold":] [Verse 2:] Eski boy, yeah I was born in the cold, it's not make belief I hit the ice like a maple leaf I can't spit if I don't rate the beat Don't push cause you're gonna make me hate the beat My cousin's got iPhones on silver cheap Street raised me, now I'm gonna raise the street My mind might flip, go astray for weeks I went to look for it, then it came to me When I was young, never had a brain for trees Slush puppies kid, swap brain for freeze E-S the game changed, I changed the greeze Cause a blizzard anywhere I take my feet But let me take it to a place where I changed my P East London, the place where I grate my cheese And if you can't hustle you won't last there I seen people crumble in a half year Swear, I like when I see the youth doing good things Cause I want 'em to know what doing good brings I been there myself and I am gonna help you You don't want what the hood brings Look away from it, looks good but please don't play with it My advice, I'm a vice, got me looking for the cold 11: 05, here I go [Hook 2:] I'm running to the sky I wanna go Cause I be on a natural high, high, high [Verse 3:] I was born in the cold, snow falling Way before snowboarding I swear winter can hear me calling Still had a good heart even when I weren't balling Life's like a game of snakes and ladders, ups and downs Everybody rushing around but I'm loving the sound of it Keeps me going, yeah, keeps me flowing I got the drive that will drive all around the world Spread the word, get people knowing Come alive anywhere on the earth Can't lie, the fan base is growing [?], recording at Noble Feel like a local Always searching for the perfect vocal To be precise we're using Pro Tools My city need this, cause we breathe this Natural talent, can't say you got it if you haven't I like to be diverse and keep a good balance They know I work hard for it I'm gonna be the next star of it Free spirit music I'm a free spirit and my living can prove it I'm always chilling or cruising [Hook 2] [Verse 4:] It's a new day now but I ain't holding back Spit bars like I'm on an old school Roll Deep track, Tiger Went top 5 with a sound that I will pursue But I gotta let them know I'm not only that Told you I'm gonna win, even though I sin I once was a prince but know I am a king I play it all down but now I'm gonna blink Cause I may as well embrace the bloodclart ting [Hook 3 x2] [?] [Verse 5:] It's a new day so we are gonna do new things The revolution's over so we're gonna do two things Whatever we like, whenever we want No matter what you and who thinks We'll roll up to the pub where you and who drinks Told you I am a don, this scene I run I spit sick bars but I can do a song I play it all down but you know I was the one So now I may as well embrace the vibe I was on [Hook 3] [Verse 6:] It's a new day nobody ain't telling me sh** Don't mess about so I take down enemies quick Can't leave grime cause I love that, can't you tell I told myself I don't really give a eff what my enemies think Got sk** it's not a myth, how I exist I took one five yeah I took the piss If I take shots yeah I ain't gonna miss So I may as well embrace the fact that I'm this [Hook 3] ["f** It":] [Verse 7:] BBK is the team, that's Boy Better Know And we're living out that dream, them boys better know Let off the bars all day, no problem Don't just sent me a couple of beats, I don't want them I want fire, I want fire I want tracks that take a man higher I want tracks that take a man forward I can't spit on that, it feels awkward I got a flow, deadly like cyanide You're bound to hear me when I'm flying by Genius, I know it I don't need to front cause I show it When I'm being myself they cannot hear me When I'm being myself they cannot hear me But when I tame it down then they can hear me But when I tame it down then they can hear me I got ga**ed up by this riddim sent from Deeco Life of Wiley finally saw me roll through Heathrow I can't believe how much of the history that he knows He's sayin' I'm a legend, just do this thing for the people, for the people When I find a 5 I'm not scared to buss it Came from the heart, that's why I trust it [Hook 4 x3:] Take my time, I ain't gonna rush it I'm doing what I want, f** it f** it [Verse 8:] Some fans still want all the music from the year 2000 Them vibes, won't get them again That was then when we found 'em That's askin' a lot when I'm fair on the pitch pa**ing a lot I got quite sick of opinions, rise above now I'm laughing a lot Stuck in the mud, overseas and I'm in luck with the buds Zone out to the crazy stuff All if the ifs and the buts and the maybe stuff Wanna do what nobody does Take a risk cause nobody does I ain't playing it safe any more I ain't playing that make or break any more Cause when I'm being myself they cannot hear me When I'm being myself they cannot hear me But when I tame it down then they can hear me But when I tame it down then they can hear me That perfect blend of love and hate could take you flying But you will get left behind if you're not trying I told my dons I've had enough and I'm not lying Some MCs try to paint a picture but I ain't buying [Hook 4 x3]
