Eye to Eye

You and me don't see eye to eye anymore

You don't even breathe, neither do I anymore, more

Maybe you should leave to the night, 'cause I'm sure

You and me don't see eye to eye anymore, more

Some people to people, not seeing pupil to pupil

Ain't seeing iris to iris, they're being futile and brutal

Like Cyrus, the virus, a little chance they might shoot you

So give 'em laser removal, the whole kit and kaboodle

As I sit here with my pen and I doodle

Thinking 'bout how all my friendship group quadrupled with rupels

And tripled and doubled

Then suddenly, I'm covered in rubble

They were using me, their puppetry stumble

Back in 2012, I probably had 2012 contacts

Plus hundreds of contacts, let's start with the long facts

My phone book was looking like the Yellow Pages

I was spending much of life with so many strangers

In one year, I probably had six Ranges

And my dealer probably bought herself a few bracelets

Went through sick changes, yeah, the shit's crazy

All because I fell in love with 36 chambers

Who can blame us?

Always tryna copy off inspector debt

Now I sit inside my castle, inspecting the deck

I got a sun deck, a pool deck, a food deck, who?

That you, yeah? That little kid you bullied at school

Always acted a fool and tried to be cool

Deleted you on Facebook right as soon as I blew

'Cause all the bullies try and fool you when they ask for favours

But I'll be in Ibiza with a couple ravers

Girls, a couple flavours

On some wrong behaviour

'Til my missus landed on my lap, became my saviour

Had a couple failures, married Miss Australia

Fell and landed on my feet, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy

You and me don't see eye to eye anymore

You don't even breathe, neither do I anymore, more

Maybe you should leave to the night, 'cause I'm sure, sure

You and me don't see eye to eye anymore, more

Bruv, the journey is nuts

20 breh's upstairs, rollin' herb on the bus

Rhymin' cyphers with a lighter, we're burnin' it up

'05, slow grind, no one makin' P

Verse number 183 but where's it taking me?

Hard to show that you're a leader when nobody sees ya'

Low exposure, overchievers, you know the procedure

I go on believing, proverbial tree in

The forest breaking down, did it make a sound?

Never special-guested, always second-bested

Mental health is tested

Clinically depressive, gave myself the message

If that's what wrong with me, that's tragic comedy

Put it on stage, make it an economy

I told the world I was a loser and they laughed

Now my garden bigger than a fuckin' park

But I still think back to the start

Those first flows when there weren't jokes, I was dirt broke

I knew Elliot in the days of Ready Brek and Teletext

Never knew where we'd be shellin' next

Nowadays it's a brave new environment

Just for Example, I came out of retirement

Netflix, Apple TV, BBC

I don't need to do this, I just love the music

I just love the way the beat reacts when I abuse it

I just love the way that you assume that I could lose it, foolish

You and me don't see eye to eye anymore (Stupid)

You don't even breathe, neither do I anymore, more (Go get 'em, Sway)

Maybe you should leave to the night, 'cause I'm sure, sure

You and me don't see eye to eye anymore, more

Listen, I've learned not to take anything personal

With the industry for the stuck up squares, you gotta be versatile

While they were cutting shapes, I was cutting tapes

On the stage where before you went in, you had to circle 'round

I heard their doubts but I won

Left 'em behind on their bums

Still shake it every time I rhyme, try to work it out

And if you made it this far into the song then your attention span is long enough for me to make this worth the while

Listen, anything we want in this life, we can achieve it (Real talk)

It was the eye in my piano that helped me see this

But soon as I had the key, I tried to tune in with my peers

But because they had fears, they saw my drive and tried to key it

Man, I've started from scratch so many times

Lost a couple of notes and I've scrapped so many lines

Took it back to Africa when I scrap so many lions

That slap me fast, and so hard that they scrapped Simba and [?]

Why on earth would you say this when you got four kids? This is science

See the kids that want Disney don't know who Walt is

Created a scene without creating a scene, there's a science

I'm not asking for roses, they erode quick

First single at 19, had the rap game Covid since '06

When there were no TikToks to blow quick

I've been a G before IG, live streams and 5G

Ask poisonous poets, I've got the cure for anyone home sick

Fresh outta lockdown and I've been on my Doc's Brown

I lead by Example, there ain't a door I couldn't knock down

I'm buildin' an empire, makin' use of all of these blocks now

And I don't accept cookies, they give me crumbs, I click to opt out

So whenever you see this list about who isn't and who is in the top ten lyricists of Great Britain, you should please remember this

Some of the people that create 'em are some of the people that I've dissed

By not submitting into their system but I'ma teach them

Class dismissed, Sway
