lyrics

Intro:
Woah
It’s like
I’ve got so many dreams
(Tryna make my dreams unfold)
So many dreams I wanna accomplish (shining)
I don’t want that simple life man
Yeahhh woah

Verse 1:
I gotta be honest I’m not even bothered
What you think, no I don’t wanna be coveting others
I want my property covered in luxury colours
And food that automatically re-ups in my cupboards
Have a space where, I can construct all my products
Music, tech, design, art and what I discover
So rich I can cover my mother, my brothers, my sis, my wife, aunts
Uncles and cousins
And I want my future kids that follow to blossom
And my real friends na I ain’t forgotten my bruddas
I’ve been around guys that have done it I’m honoured
Summer to summer I’ve gotta summon the hundreds of dollars
Apologies I mean mean pounds
Just wanna be in the clouds
Got this dreams in my house
I’m just speaking it out, loud
That’s right fam I’m leaving the doubt
Had an odd start I’m just tryna even it out, real

Chorus:
Walk in my kingdom like
What does a king look like
I dunno but
It’s all gathered in my mind
Buy anything I like
All the cars
House all synchronised
Looking like bling and ice (shining)
I want all the nice things in life
I don’t want a simple life

Sideman:
When I say shining my type is fine dining
High prices I don’t mind it, Mike Tyson how I’m fighting for it
I know the idea’s foreign riding in foreigns
Going Florence with the wind in ya hair like say ya Borris now that’s shining
All my career they’ve said why him
Even on this track I know they’re thinking why’d he chime in
But I’m never in the box where they tie me in
Just know that my lines are hard to pick up when I’m dialled in
When I’m in that zone
This is that wait before you talk bout road, do you have a mortgage flow
If you don’t then I’d say go back home
But you can’t without a mortgage so its awkward bro and yo
Surely I don’t have to tell you that the trap is the trap
Maybe I do the box says smoking kills and they still buy fags
Lets stop building on sinking sand and start to buy land
Lets stop beefing in silly gangs and get to the bag

Chorus:
Walk in my kingdom like
What does a king look like
I dunno but
It’s all gathered in my mind
Buy anything I like
All the cars
House all synchronised
Looking like bling and ice (shining)
I want all the nice things in life
I don’t want a simple life

Make It Out Alive
by Manga Saint Hilare

supported by 7 fans who also own “Simple Life (feat. Sideman)”

Manga is the only one out here making pure, forward-thinking Grime like it used to be. No cash-in nostalgia, no catering to radio plays; just pure lyricism and cream-of-the-crop production. Remember when Grime had humour and humanity? When MC's had personality and originality that was uniquely British? Before autotune, German whips and 'manaman sells crack and manaman will shank ur mum' became the norm? This is like that. Golden. Big up Manga - keep doing your thing. You deserve to be massive Joe Harris

The Surgery EP
by Kwam & Sketch'E

Grime, a descendant of garage, dancehall and hip-hop born roughly a decade ago on the streets of the UK, is now entering maturity, with several of its stars finding themselves experiencing the trappings (and the traps) of major label success. But there’s also an increasing universality in its subject matter and themes, and a playfulness … Continue reading Album of the Week: The Surgery EP → Bandcamp Album of the Day Dec 5, 2011
