Like It or Not

(Swifta production)

Ride for the side, die for the team
First in the scene, like it or not
Ride for the side, die for the team
First in the scene, like it or not
Been around the block, spin around the block
Been around the top, my streets hot
Been around the block, spin around the block
Been around the top, like it or not

Like it or not, I was at the start
You was saying "stop dat", we was in the dance
We were getting reloads inside clubs
We were getting reloads out in the park
Flew past everyone who had a heads-up
Time flew quick, then I had to get smart
Now it's a new day, everybody's got new ways
That's why I'm not living in the past
I perceived the whole game on the whole same as a ref
Started on the right but I came from the left
Born in the east but stayed in the west
Put my money down, I ain't changing my bet
Never been a goal-hanger cause I can dribble
I was in jungle spraying bars with Riddles
Used to blaze weed, eat food, get the giggles
See me in a sweet shop looking for the Skittles

Ride for the side, die for the team
First in the scene, like it or not
Ride for the side, die for the team
First in the scene, like it or not
Been around the block, spin around the block
Been around the top, my streets hot
Been around the block, spin around the block
Been around the top, like it or not

Like it or not, I came from the block
What I've seen might just leave you in shock
Man are in the station, prison or dock
Man are on the street with MACs, knives and Glocks
And dons getting ran down, chased round blocks
Dons getting skied by multiple shots
Dons getting kidnapped, dons getting robbed
That's why I tell a don "just go get a job"
Blud, I was on the roof, I was in the trenches
I was on the mic chatting 'bout six senses
I was on the radio, legal and pirate
I was in the hood when they first called Trident
Doors getting kicked off, guns getting found
How'd you think I produced the coldest sound?
I was in the zone, anywhere you go
You can tell a man this ain't a bogus sound

Ride for the side, die for the team
First in the scene, like it or not
Ride for the side, die for the team
First in the scene, like it or not
Been around the block, spin around the block
Been around the top, my streets hot
Been around the block, spin around the block
Been around the top, like it or not

Ride for the side, die for the team
First in the scene, like it or not
Ride for the side, die for the team
First in the scene, like it or not
Been around the block, spin around the block
Been around the top, my streets hot
Been around the block, spin around the block
Been around the top, like it or not

Yo, do it every year, fam, I never stop
The level of my lyrics will never drop
You've been watching us years now
I've already written gold bars I could never top
Made sick beats I could never top
Couple ideas that will never drop
Started together in the game
Some man are so sick with it
But they will never pop
Me and my team will forever pop
I ain't gotta go and get a better job
This one's cool, we all get along
Man want a tea? Put the kettle on
Clear my brain and I'm better off
If you know she's mad, then don't set her off
Told you before
I do my show, then I'm jetting off

Ride for the side, die for the team
First in the scene, like it or not
Ride for the side, die for the team
First in the scene, like it or not
Been around the block, spin around the block
Been around the top, my streets hot
Been around the block, spin around the block
Been around the top, like it or not
