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
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

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 f*ck 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

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
