Lyrics by Alfie Jones
Ends
Yeah...?South side nights, cold roads, same story,?Different ending.?Listen.?Came from the ends where the rain don't rest,?Had big dreams, couldn't settle for less.?They talk online, but the work's not there,?I put time in quietly, now they all stare.
Two-step glide when I walk through town,?Head held high, never chasing a crown.?If I get one, then it's earned, not given,?Built my lane from the road I've driven.?Came from the mud where the odds were stacked,?No handouts, had to learn all that.?Saw man fold when the pressure came,?I stayed focused, never switched my lane.
Late nights grinding while they slept indoors,?Writing sixteen after sixteen more.?Didn't have much but I had that drive,?Now the same old dreams came alive.
Too many chat like they're running the game,?Soon as it's pressure, they're changing their frame.?I stayed consistent, that's why I'm ahead,?While they got excuses, I got results instead.
Phone stays ringing, the schedule's mad,?Same people doubted, now saying I'm hard.?Funny how success makes memories fade,?They never backed me when the groundwork was laid.?Came from the ends where the rain don't rest,?Had big dreams, couldn't settle for less.?They talk online, but the work's not there,?I put time in quietly, now they all stare.
Two-step glide when I walk through town,?Head held high, never chasing a crown.?If I get one, then it's earned, not given,?Built my lane from the road I've driven.?I don't do gimmicks, I don't do hype,?I just improve every time I write.?Step in the booth and the levels increase,?Built from the struggle, now building the peace.
Still got scars from the lessons learned,?Still got fire when the bridges burn.?Never let the setbacks slow my pace,?Every closed door made me find my place.
Used to hear "you won't make it far,"?Now they watch every move like a superstar.?Funny how the tables turn so quick,?When the hard work pays and the numbers click.
Stayed ten toes through the wind and rain,?Never switched up for the likes or fame.?Everything earned, every step legit,?Now they want the blueprint after I built it.?Rain keeps falling but I'm still here,?Years went by, made it crystal clear.?No shortcuts, no easy route,?Just faith in the work when they had their doubts.
Rain keeps falling but I don't break,?Every loss became a step I'd take.?Now the view looks different from the place I stood,?Turned pain into progress like I always knew I could.?Came from the ends where the rain don't rest,?Had big dreams, couldn't settle for less.?They talk online, but the work's not there,?I put time in quietly, now they all stare.
Two-step glide when I walk through town,?Head held high, never chasing a crown.?If I get one, then it's earned, not given,?Built my lane from the road I've driven.
Came from the ends where the rain don't rest,?Now we're aiming higher, never settling for less.?They can talk all they want, I know what I've lived,?Everything I got came from the work I give.
Two-step glide when I walk through town,?Head held high, never chasing a crown.?If I get one, then it's earned, not given,?Built my lane from the road I've driven.?Came from the mud where the odds were stacked,?No handouts, had to learn all that.?Saw man fold when the pressure came,?I stayed focused, never switched my lane.
Late nights grinding while they slept indoors,?Writing sixteen after sixteen more.?Didn't have much but I had that drive,?Now the same old dreams came alive.
Too many chat like they're running the game,?Soon as it's pressure, they're changing their frame.?I stayed consistent, that's why I'm ahead,?While they got excuses, I got results instead.
