Straight Back To It Lyrics
[Intro: Young Adz & Central Cee]
(You are now listening to Young Chencs)
Always remember that, bro
When you was sleeping (Roddy, burn it up)
On trains, and you're homeless
And your mums kicked you out and all them ting there?
People would've loved to sh!t on you
So now that you're doing your ting and you're gwarning, stay cooking
Done a graveyard shift last night, woke up today and got–
Got straight back to it
[Chorus: Central Cee]
Done a graveyard shift last night
Woke up today and got straight back to it
Took, took me an L, no problem
I got on my grind, got straight back to it (Back to it)
Had to handle a call in the middle of jeeting
I put down my phone, got straight back to it
They freed my bro, got straight back to it
Bro-bro fresh home, got straight back to it (Back to it)
Done a graveyard shift last night
Woke up today and got straight back to it
Took, took me an L, no problem
I got on my grind, got straight back to it (Back to it)
Had to handle a call in the middlе of jeeting
I put down my phone, got straight back to it
They freed my bro, got straight back to it
Bro-bro fresh homе, got straight back to it
[Verse 1: Central Cee]
Look, look, look, we all go through hard times
That's why it's, "Live Yours" and it's not, "Live Mine"
You gotta turn up sometimes, live life
You gotta work hard or you're not gone shine
Told the promoter
"I'm not performing if I can't come with all of the guys"
I got the ball right now, it's my time
But I told bro-bro, "Go long, go wide"
They shot their shot but it was offside
It's from Virgil when I rock Off-White
No cap, this sh!t ain't no made up rhymes
Got a way with words, got away with crimes
Told, told lil' bro, "You're the next in line
But be patient, it'll take some time"
Don't think 'cah we ain't got back just yet
That we just gone let it slide (Slide)
[Chorus: Central Cee]
Done a graveyard shift last night
Woke up today and got straight back to it
Took me an L, no problem
I got on my grind, got straight back to it (Back to it)
Had to handle a call in the middle of jeeting
I put down my phone, got straight back to it
They freed my bro, got straight back to it
Bro-bro fresh home, got straight back to it (Back to it)
Done a graveyard shift last night
Woke up today and got straight back to it
Took, took me an L, no problem
I got on my grind, got straight back to it (Back to it)
Had to handle a call in the middle of jeeting
I put down my phone, got straight back to it
They freed my bro, got straight back to it
Bro-bro fresh home, got straight back to it
[Verse 2: Central Cee]
I thought this sh!t was Hip-Hop?
Not gonna lie, I'm a bit disappointed
Certain man wanna move like divas
What can I say? It's for entertainment
I f**ked shawty, and I left her high and dry
It's deep, she thought I was staying
F**k, I just lived up to the stereotype
That we're all the same, shame
Uh, she wanna get slapped in the face, uh
I'm afraid it's a bit too kinky
And I'm not tryna catch me a case
Say what I want, you don't have to relate
Un-un-unlike most of these artists that's lying
I'm actually paid
I, I, I don't want aftermarket diamonds
Man, I want factory made
OGs need to get back to reality
I don't wanna hear about back in the day
Go on the 'net, all I hear is, "Cench"
I don't wanna hear them chatting my name
All of these guys try cat the campaign
I feel like Usher, I trap in the rain
Been through a lot, I can handle the fame
I waste no time getting straight back to it
(Back to it, back to it)
[Interlude: Young Adz & Central Cee]
You need to 'member, brother, yeah
First they love you, then they hate you
Then love you again
(Waste no time, get straight back to it)
When you come out you're hot
You're hot, you're new
You know you can't do no wrong
You're new, you're golden boy
And then they start tryna slowly find chinks in your armour
And things to tear you down
[Chorus: Central Cee]
Done a graveyard shift last night
Woke up today and got straight back to it
Took, took me an L, no problem
I got on my grind, got straight back to it (Back to it)
Had to handle a call in the middle of jeeting
I put down my phone, got straight back to it
They freed my bro, got straight back to it
Bro-bro fresh home, got straight back to it (Back to it)
