lyrics

Intro:
Independent uno
No major
No ones come to aid or assist me
Which is fine
Because I've had to learn
To get it in

Verse 1:
Said I might just drop
Or I might just not
When the mic is off
I said I'm standing on my own
I don’t know what’s next
Got my doe on stretch
My outgoings - stress
Standing on my own
My outgoings are stressing me out
Money delayed, I swear life's testing me now
Don’t wanna complain, but won’t lie its getting me down
No team just me and a dream
It's all that I need to achieve
Well I hope cos I’m

Chorus:
Standing on my own
On my own
Standing on my own, my own
No team just me and a dream
It's all that I need to achieve
Well I hope cos I'm standing

Verse 2:
Ain't slept for a sec
But I guess that they said
No rest for the blessed
I said I'm standing on my own
Work up to my neck
But I'm not gonna beg
It's costing a leg
Standing on my own
I feel like I'm on enemy grounds
Gotta be watching I can't keep my head in the clouds
Gotta be wise I can't let anything out
No sleep just me and my dreams
Maybe I'm in need of a team well I'm

Chorus:
Standing on my own
On my own
Standing on my own, my own
No sleep just me and my dreams
Maybe I'm in need of a team
Well I'm standing on

Verse 3:
I said I’m standing, lone travelling
No hand-outs, so I got both hands in
Wouldn't get my money from road antics, all I
All I do is shot clothes and spit bars
Yeah, that’s a grown man ting but
Not many grown men hold that risk of
Being a myth, pleading the 5th
Being legit, keeping it lit, evil resist
See what it is
It's hard to trust people init
I’ve had a lot of people commit
Then duck out without reasoning and left my dream in a twist
No team here, just me and my fans
Bare p here, lemme speak in advance
1 hun kmt lemme keep it a grand
I wanna team not a leech so I'm

Chorus:
Standing on my own
On my own
Standing on my own, my own
No team just me and a dream
It's all that I need to achieve
Well I hope cos I'm
Standing on my own
On my own
Standing on my own, my own
No sleep just me and my dreams
Maybe I'm in need of a team
Woah
Standing on my own
On my own
Standing on my own, my own
No team just me and a dream
It's all that I need to achieve
Well I hope cos I'm
Standing on my own
On my own
Standing on my own, my own
No sleep just me and my dreams
Maybe I'm in need of a team

Make It Out Alive
by Manga Saint Hilare

supported by 7 fans who also own “Standing On My Own”

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
