[Hook X2] It's the simple life that I'm dreaming of It's the simple life that I'm dreaming of No more sleepless nights looking for the way to survive But I simply can't afford to change it up, change it up
[Verse 1: Skepta] Listen Yeah, when I came in the game I kept my eyes wide open like fish in the sea I'm done smiling with people I don't like in places I don't wanna be She told me it's just a little bit of powder so I look better in HD I saw the video, I had so much make-up I didn't even look like me So now it's just me, myself and the camera, 1080p She saw the video fullscreen on YouTube, now she wants to fuck with a G Told me she'd come into my house in a long coat with nothing underneath I would love you more if you brought me a packet of Rizla and something to eat Please, keep it simple don't act like a leech I don't wanna hear your \"I'm not a groupie, tell me your real name\" speech My real name is Skepta and I do this for my niggas that breach I do this for the girl with green eyes sunbathing topless on a beach I tell an A&R come check me if you wanna talk about making an anthem You wanna talk label politics, go and check David Cameron Cause if success is judged by chart positions and riches I'll put the mic down and leave my legacy to reign on all these bitches
[Hook] I love you so much sometimes I can't breathe But I still find that standing here watching you leave I know you want excitement and life on the edge And I lived like that for so long that it fucked with my head It's the simple life that I'm dreaming of It's the simple life that I'm dreaming of No more sleepless nights looking for the way to survive But I simply can't afford to change it up, change it up
