Lyrics

[Intro: Shifty Rydos] Shifty Rydos Slix You know what, yeah? You gotta chill and listen to this one Because it's mellow Hang tight Dirty Danger on the productions Each and every time Jheeze [Verse 1: Shifty Rydos] I woke up in the morning, I'm thirty I'm all smiling, nothing can hurt me Turn to the left and kiss my wife Oh yes, oh yes, I love my life I left my bed and walked down the hallway Looking at all my plaques in the hallway And they're oh so shiny, platinum I live in a mansion, [?], son Who would have thought this? Well, I did Let me just go and check on my kids So beautiful, my girls I love them so much, they're my world, star Then I went and stood on the balcony Look at the sea and the wind blew back at me And I thank God, I'm so blessed I'm so joyful, there's no stress Yes, and I really don't care Why should I? I'm a millionaire I used to say that life's not fair But life is what you make it, yeah I went from no whips to six in the garage So wealthy, I could manage See, I'm sky high, got my own jet When I fly by, it's no sweat Selfish? Never that, spread my wealth To the poor, to the fam, then myself And I got here myself So let me tell you about myself See, ten years ago, I was on the grind Living in East London at the time I was a young MC at my prime Even then, I saw them signs [Chorus 1: Shifty Rydos] See, I always knew that one day I was just gonna get here Always smiling to the bank I'm living life with no fear See, I always knew that one day I was just gonna get here Always smiling to the bank I'm living life with no fear Oh yes, my life is juicy Nowadays, I can be choosy My life just feels like a movie Only God, only God can move me I said my life is juicy Nowadays, I can be choosy My life just feels like a movie Only God, only God can move me [Verse 2: Slix] Two-oh One-six I slept through a whole ten-year coma Since '06, now I'm ten years older I never thought that cars would be flying Grime's blew up, now everyone's rhyming Who would have guessed life like this? Buy tracks up the skies and (shh) I'm cool like breeze Take a quick glimpse and peep I ain't touched road or street Since I've been warped like quantum leap I take a look at the man in the mirror Face ageing but it's so much thicker I wanna find out what the fam's on So I fresh up and get some creps on I fresh up and get some creps on I hit the block, the usual hotspots Things have changed, they just ain't the same I feel trapped in the future, future But I really wanna go back to the future The roads are cold, the blocks have still changed It don't look hood to me, it looks strange Sky-high buildings, see-through trains By now, my state is so shocked Body all stiff up, movements all blocked I see shops with items en masse Take what you want, don't have to pay cash (no way) I pinch myself, disbelieving Is this real or am I dreaming? And I wonder ten years from now How it's gonna be ten years from then, I'm Slix [Chorus 2: Slix] I never knew that one day I would live my life in this way I woke up out a coma Years later, life seems greater I never knew that one day I would live my life in this way I woke up out a coma Years later, life seems greater Oh yeah, my life feels mixed So it's got my feelings mixed Eyes blurry due to the mist Things have changed up since '06 Oh yeah, my life feels mixed So it's got my feelings mixed Eyes blurry due to the mist Things have changed up since '06
