Wretch 32 Lyrics
"Black And White"

Fasten your seatbelt
I'm 'bout to take you on a journey
On par with your dream world
A master at retail
Cah I'll be entering the charts with
A half of my pre-sales
A bastard that means well
Cah everything I touch breaks
I should sign me a sweet girl
Fly me an email
And give your life to the game that's
The minor of details

Give your life to the game
The most minor of details
And give your life to the game
So why would I be vex
I made it out of the hex
While nuff man got murked I came out in a Benz
And yet I'm still on the ends
With not one new friend
My whole circles in shape
We came first to the race
I came second on my second attempt
It was well worth the wait like
Every verse every day like
Every word every tape
Every person I ate I
Still got the same hunger
So I work every day why?
The closer I get now the further my break time
Being safe ain't safe
But the combination's still the same
You do you and everybody commentates on your game
That's just the way it plays
But I remember being eight
Thinking how do I get a chain?
Now I gave mine away
Because the goal's got to change
Or you get caught offside in the crossfire
Everyone claims that they told you to wait
Cah they just wanted you replaced

The dark side of my life
Where my heart weren't alive
The light side of my life
Where my dreams came to life
The dark side of my life
Where my heart weren't alive
The light side of my life
Where my dreams came to life

The reason I never had a heart
Is cause I never had a chance
Playing monopoly thinking
Will I ever get a yard?
Now Mayfair ain't far
But if I go, then did I really play my role
I walk around to show hope
I don't need to showboat
We all know I've got dough
Now I want to see my people evolve, sho
It ain't a sprint, it's a marathon
So I can't piggy back any tag-alongs
If you weren't there when we were
Four in a Travelodge
Then you'll only make me laugh
Carry on
You know you're your own man
When you're giving advice to your old man
You keep the roof over mum's head
Cah you can't put a price on a home fam
Nevertheless everyone will forever suggest
That they can invest
That's intelligent stress I came to rap
I don't penny your cheques
I just wanna be heard
I wanna be first
I don't know it all like them wannabe nerds
But I am not the man of the hour
I'm the man with the power
Cah I just put my sun on the earth
Word

The dark side of my life
Where my heart weren't alive
The light side of my life
Where my dreams came to life
The dark side of my life
Where my heart weren't alive
The light side of my life
Where my dreams came to life
The dark side of my life
Where my heart weren't alive
The light side of my life
Where my dreams came to life
The dark side of my life
Where my heart weren't alive
The light side of my life
Where my dreams came to life
The dark side of my life
Where my heart weren't alive
The light side of my life
Now it's in black and white
