The Calling

Yo, how you feel is how I felt

Hungry to achieve 'cause winners gain wealth

People telling me to contain yourself

I didn't listen to them, I listened to me

'Cause to get to the top, you can take yourself

Someone can start the journey off for you

But the rest of it you gotta take yourself

Like a ride, they'll seat you, brace yourself

This is grime, we ain't like everyone else

We built this scene without anyone's help

Radio blocked us, but we rate ourselves

Look how many stations we've made ourselves

Got our own decks and we got our own DJs

Now every day we can play ourselves

Hyped our airwaves and made ourselves

Now there's way more reloading this world

Trust me, if you wanna be a guy like me

First off, gotta have drive like me

1 a.m., burned a thousand CDs

One at a time, you ain't had school nights like me

On top of that, didn't know who liked me

'Cause back them we never had likes from IG

Went from bluetoothing tunes to my friends

To DMs where I gotta translate Chinese

'Cause this one's for all my people

Any profession, wake up, this is your calling

This one's for those that need it

No more sleeping late, let's get it this morning

Stop putting off hard work, get it over and done with

Trust me, why are you stalling?

Take yourself off 'silent'

That's opportunity calling

This one goes out to those alight

Do not miss the chance, do not miss the signs

I teach this lot, "Read between the lines"

Forget New Year, now is your time

You're different, so they're gonna watch you more

That's cool, show them you're energy's raw

Out of ten, make sure all ten of them sure

Show them you're ready, what you telling them for?

They're gonna be people that say you shouldn't

Blaze your own trail

When I bet next year you would've done things when you thought you couldn't

That's how you become an unstoppable guy or woman

When I'm on grime, my sound fire

'Cause from young this was my burning desire

Different parts of the world stand and admire

You know that it's hot when the flame is blue

And I'm gassed, 'cause Lewisham is my supplier

Everyone that I listened to was a liar

But I got tools, big money multiplier

Never retire, I'm more of a trier

And I sick of hearing all these songs talking 'bout what you got on your debit

There's so many people they never credit

2020 is your time to go get it

We rely on the creatives

Just look at what a new generation generated

I didn't wanna get a job, I asked questions

And gained knowledge on the thing I created

This one's for all my people

Any profession, wake up, this is your calling

This one's for those that need it

No more sleeping late, let's get it this morning

Stop putting off hard work, get it over and done with

Trust me, why are you stalling?

Take yourself off 'silent'

That's opportunity calling

This one goes out to those alight

Do not miss the chance, do not miss the signs

I teach this lot, "Read between the lines"

Forget New Year, now is your time

This one's for all my people

Any profession, wake up, this is your calling

This one's for those that need it

No more sleeping late, let's get it this morning

Stop putting off hard work, get it over and done with

Trust me, why are you stalling?

Take yourself off 'silent'

That's opportunity calling

This one's for all my people

Any profession, wake up, this is your calling

This one's for those that need it

No more sleeping late, let's get it this morning

Stop putting off hard work, get it over and done with

Trust me, why are you stalling?

Take yourself off 'silent'

That's opportunity calling
