Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You're not alone
I'll wait till the end of time
Open your mind
Surely it's plain to see
[Verse 2]
Hit OT, a track super star
Crystal Palace, prra prra prra
Linford Christie Stadium
Every Tuesday, flaggin' a boy
Athletes low-key cappin' a lot
Croydon College stackin' like what
Love so big, I'd give him it all
East or South, we're dreaming it all
[Verse 3]
Body hot like cooking for long
We liked to make love like wildest of dogs
I was on his side
Fifty-five to making a prof
Body hot like cooking for long
We liked to make love like wildest of dogs
I was on his side
East or South, we're dreaming it all
[Verse 4]
Ran towards the lights, thought I could find
Something bigger than the town that I had left behind
I remember packing up my bags, not saying my goodbyes
Walsall used to be a place I'd only ever start my dreams in
But home is where my heart is
Feel so alone in a city so big
'Cause I used to know the person that lived at 23 and
Try and smell the flowers that weren't on the Caldmore Green
Getting off the six at Oysters just to spend my thirty P
[Verse 5]
And I
I was just getting to know myself
The city, it broke me in
Inside
Dialin' my confidence up
About my hair and my skin, yeah
[Verse 6]
You're not alone
I'll wait till the end of time
Open your mind
Surely it's plain to see
[Verse 7]
Hit OT, a track super star
Crystal Palace, prra prra prra
Linford Christie Stadium
Every Tuesday, flaggin' a boy
Athletes low-key cappin' a lot
Croydon College stackin' like what
Love so big, I'd give him it all
East or South, we're dreaming it all
[Verse 8]
Listen
Had to clean out my heart, mind, body, and soul
The London city's my home
She love Mayfair, come babe, peek at your toes
Built bricks in the sticks, can we remake dough?
Invest in my flow, tell my young boy look in your book and glow
Back then used to boot like we do up pro
Now it's Finsbury Park from the brukback days
Can we show down shows? (Shows)
Should I choose that Gucci or LV coat?
Yo, I'm black in the hood unclothed
The bando's boomin', my pastry comes from rotatin' phones
Gon' step to the hoods, gon' clear
So much patience is greatness, call me bacon toast
Don't go score, practice means perfect
Girl, if you don't know, leave it to me, I'm cool
[Verse 9]
Started out a country girl, wildly-haired and gappy-grinned
Had to change a couple schools 'cause I wasn't fitting in
Ticket straight to London, dream it big and let it grow
Just so you know
[Verse 10]
Feels so alone when the city gets cold
I've known that I'd make it since I was a young girl
The world is right there, I hear it calling
But home is the place that makes my heart sing
[Verse 11]
You're not alone
I'll wait till the end of time
Open your mind
Surely it's plain to see
[Verse 12]
You're not alone
I'll wait till the end of time for you
Open your mind
Surely it's time to be with me
