Typed by: AZ Lyrics

[intro/chorus x2: funda]
I want you to leave (leave)
I want you to go (go)
but you keep telling me the streets are all you know (know)
I just want a better life, but you won't breakaway

[Verse 1: tinchy]
It's a standard ting that I keep it ghetto
roads ain't nothing like calm or mellow
too much p's to be got, so I get doe
man hold whips in the bits like lego
some put stones in their chains all yellow
me I get low in a blacked out renault with, soldier, dirt danger and lee wello
p's involved and man are like hello
hi, come off the roads they're cold
so I do music, i'm hotting up shows
If not back to square one that's right
start from scratch we blotting up o's
roads keep calling me back but i'm not involved
then I hear dough then i'm right involved
I caught up in a cycle it's like the roads aint letting go

[Chorus x2: funda]
I want you to leave (leave)
I want you to go (go)
but you keep telling me the streets are all you know (know)
I just want a better life
but you won't breakaway

[Verse 2: tinchy]
yeah you're the golden boy in the game's what they call me
you're a household names what they tell me
through this game I be flying out stage shows abroad with wiley, skepta and jme
fans show love when I bring out my cd
girls get hyped when they see me on tv
cos they know i'm the man like beanie
when I come through it's all fresh armani
but I keep getting sidetracked by the street life
theres more to the roads than street lights
shottas, jackmove guys in the corner
that's why some walk street with a borer
might see two or three gash in the corner
might see two or three goons in the corner
If the boy dem roll up
give your stash to the gash
divert from the corner
that's why i'm try'na get away from a hype ting, settle down with a girl me I got a life ting
nothin aint comfy cosy in the hood fam
so I try and get paid for the mic ting
but there's something about these roads
too much p's to be got, so I get dough
still try'na get legal dough
but we hustle grind that's the life in bow. (bow in east london)

[Chorus x2: funda]
I want you to leave (leave), I want you to go (go)
but you keep telling me the streets are all you know (know)
I just want a better life, but you won't breakaway

[Verse 3 (not in the video): tinchy]
yeah, and I move on the roadside g
and I get that dough like the roadside geez
let it grow I aint spending the p's on a hustle grind
still about them p's, 06 merc still I want them keys
but I aint gonna get that keys for the drop top
not too quick if I just mc
so I deal a bit of dirt for the p's
at the same time look I aint got time
for all these guys to be pulling out 9's
too many egos clash on the roads
I aint got time i'm ninja like ghost
try and get low on the streets
and I aint rollin with heat
I want legal dough so I spray flows on the beat
but I still get caught up in shit (blanked out) on the road

[Chorus x2 (not in the video): funda]

I want you to leave (leave), I want you to go (go)
but you keep telling me the streets are all you know (know)
I just want a better life, but you won't breakaway
