What Do You Expect 

Verse One
I wanted to bust, but never made the circle of [bad word] 
In a crew as an I cos it was never an us
12 Stone, I can’t forget the things I was shown 
Even though I felt alone and left me out in the cold
Had to leave and try and do this thing on my own 
And it worked, cos soon enough I started to blow 
Airplay on radio getting requests for a show 
Took it to the next level and by 20 years old 
Had released 2 albums and I’d won a MOBO yo
What do you expect? What can you say? 
I felt the very same way of the entire UK 
And refused to play a part of this ridiculous game 
To criticize and judge a rapper on the way that he spray 
If the way that he spray doesn’t amount to the same 
As the way that I spray but that’s the choice that he made 
It’s no reason to get on stage and try and call him a fake 
But I take that bad energy and make it my fuel 
To take me to my destination middle finger to you 
See this aint no classroom and I aint stuck in a school 
So nobody aint gonna try and make me follow [bad word] Especially when they never done the things that I do 
And I wouldn’t let em’ stop me think about it would you? 
So I gotta do the many things I did on my own 
But son, what did you expect? You left me alone
 [bad word] What do you expect? You left me here alone [and now they can’t believe it]
What do you expect? You left me here alone [they really can’t believe it]
      What do you expect? You left me here alone

Verse Two
Paid my dues cos everyday I had to make moves 
And had to listen when I heard em’ say you snooze and you lose 
And be prepared to be the only one who stepped in my shoes
An album every year or maybe there’s two 
But when I see these other rappers they got nothing that’s new 
Aint no need for fabrication I am telling the [bad word] 
Sometimes I get the feeling I was out on a ledge
They shut the window and they left me out there freezing to death 
On the edge but yo I am a baker of bread 
So I knew how to survive turn it around on its head 
Turning nothing into something never fall but instead 
Be the kind of rapper on the stage who’s breaking a leg 
So when I feel on the outside, maybe that’s a great thing
Maybe that’ll stop my head from over inflating
Maybe it can justify the time that I’ve been waiting
Or maybe it can teach me how to exercise patience 
Or maybe it was Nathan, [bad word] Zippo 
Or maybe I was meant to cause a splash and not a ripple
Maybe I’mma stampede while other rappers tip-toe 
Already made money so my motto’s not8 to get doe 
Already made an album plus already made a sequel 
They should of took me in they’re circle 
And stopped me from the inside, I doubt it would of worked though
And now I sit with a smirk yo, singing
 [bad word]
