Lyrics

Ah, check
Born and raised on the British Islands
Still a sucker for the taste of a different diet
Still the Henny with the chase when we link on night outs
Night owls, city people and we keep an eye out (eye out!)
Born and raised on that CeCe Winans
We would listen till my daddy turned the TV silent
We would listen never missing out on realignment
With the soul music, it's the soul we abide in (abide in!)
Riding in the city of sirens (sirens!)
Grinding we get busy applying ('plying!)
Minding my own bi'ness, abiding by Him
Reading hymns and hoping they hiring (hiring!)
Gliding through the gritty assignments ('signments)
Blinding is the light we arrived in ('rived in)
Surviving but I'm tryna be thriving
I've been near the edge now it's time that I dive in (dive in!)
It's like, yeah
Run the beat (run the beat)
Coming from the soul when I speak (when I speak)
Sticking to the process
Hoping that I progress
Tell 'em put this song up on repeat (tell 'em put this song up on repeat)
Ah, check
Run the beat (run the beat)
Coming from the soul when I speak (when I speak)
Sticking to the process
Hoping that I progress
Tell 'em put this song up on repeat (put this song up on repeat)
Born and raised on the British Islands
Every Sunday at the church
We wore suit and tie then
Every Sunday after church
We would have to drive in
Peckham High Street market
We would slip and slide in (slide in)
Born and raised didn't seek asylum
But I knew a couple who had had a few beside them
Grew beside them
So I knew the truth behind them
Had a hard start
But hope was on their horizons
Like
Riding in the city of sirens (sirens!)
Grinding we get busy applying ('plying!)
Minding my own business, abiding by Him
Reading hymns
And hoping they hiring (hiring!)
Gliding through the gritty assignments ('signments)
Blinding is the light we arrived in ('rived in)
Surviving but I'm tryna be thriving
I've been near the edge
Now it's time that I dive in (dive in!)
It's like, yeah
Run the beat (run the beat)
Coming from the soul when I speak (when I speak)
Sticking to the process
Hoping that I progress
Tell 'em put this song up on repeat (tell 'em put this song up on repeat)
Ah, check
Run the beat (run the beat)
Coming from the soul when I speak (when I speak)
Sticking to the process
Hoping that I progress
Tell 'em put this song up on repeat (put this song up on repeat)
Yeah, run the beat (run the beat)
Coming from the soul when I speak (when I speak)
Sticking to the process
Hoping that I progress
Tell 'em put this song up on repeat (tell 'em put this song up on repeat)
Ah, check
Run the beat (run the beat)
Coming from the soul when I speak (when I speak)
Sticking to the process
Hoping that I progress
Tell 'em put this song up on repeat (put this song up on repeat)
Sticking to the process
Hoping that I progress
Tell 'em put this song up on repeat
