Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No way out no way out, no way out
Yo, I separate friends from foes
Ready for whatever when the green light go
East side don with a few postcodes
But none of that don't mean
Shit when I step out
But I've still gotta step out
Of my comfort zone
Nightmares, I never had a yellow brick road
Had things to achieve and food to bring home
Dem time I had to walk it alone
Couldn't do it with talking alone
Face every one of my demons one up
Sleepless nights, bring hell to your gates
Surrounded by enemies, friends, fakes
Local celebrities tryna save face
Dem man are dead out, no one's safe
Only a chosen few can set pace
Only a chosen few can set pace
Guilty and still buss case
Shaky escape from a fucked up situation
Makes me give thanks to my days
When I separate murder from fate
Fresh set of keys for the 09 gate
That's another step closer, one step away
I just gotta do it my way
(Another step closer, one step away)
(Another step closer, one step away)
No way out
Separate you need to go
Hesitate you fall below
(No way out) So lay it down
(No way out) Lay it down
(No way out) Separate
(No way out) Your time to go
So are you ready, now? When are you ready?
So are you ready, now? When are you ready?
So are you ready, now? When are you ready?
So are you ready, now? When are you ready?
Listen, but now I'm at the crossroads
Highway to heaven or the hellway
Where I'm going, I'm going
I won't need roads
I've never been a lightweight
Roll up one up and I never had a big bro
Man a leader and they will do what I say
Make sure everyting's clear on the runway
See you on the other side some day
Bet they're gonna wish they never met me
Hungry, yeah, my belly's empty
Anxious when time's against man
I've got plans and a lot of them are deadly
I'm not sure if it's me or my ego
But one of us are not very friendly
Let's separate the men from the heroes
You'll see that none of us are wealthy
You'll see that none of us are wealthy
Tower Hamlets ain't nothing like Chelsea
This mindstate's never been healthy
I've gotta break it, nobody can't help me
But try know I've got a family of madman
That are willing to die, so don't tempt me
So when it's judgement time
You've gotta stand up
There's nowhere to hide so
You can't run again there's nowhere to hide
You can't run again there's nowhere to hide
You can't run again there's nowhere to hide
You can't run again there's nowhere to hide
(No way out)
Separate separate
(No way out) So lay it down
(No way out) Lay it down
(No way out) Separate (No way out)

No way out no way out
There is no escape or solution
Yo, I separate friends from foes
I distinguish between true friends and enemies
Ready for whatever when the green light go
Prepared for any situation when given the signal
East side don with a few postcodes
Representing the East side with different areas
But none of that don't mean
Shit when I step out
However, those affiliations don't matter when facing reality
My boot dem are real comfy
But I've still gotta step out
Of my comfort zone
Although I am comfortable, I need to challenge myself
Nightmares, I never had a yellow brick road
I never had an easy path to follow
Had things to achieve and food to bring home
I had goals to accomplish and provide for my family
Dem time I had to walk it alone
During those times, I had to face everything alone
Couldn't do it with talking alone
Simply talking wasn't enough to overcome challenges
Face every one of my demons one up
Confronting and overcoming personal struggles head-on
Sleepless nights, bring hell to your gates
Restless nights bring turmoil and obstacles
Surrounded by enemies, friends, fakes
Being in a circle of both foes and false allies
Local celebrities tryna save face
Public figures attempting to maintain their reputation
Dem man are dead out, no one's safe
Those individuals are weak and nobody is secure
Only a chosen few can set pace
Only a select few can lead and set the standard
Guilty and still buss case
Despite being guilty, I still accomplish my goals
Shaky escape from a fucked up situation
Escaping a difficult and unpleasant circumstance with uncertainty
Makes me give thanks to my days
Grateful for the experiences that shaped me
When I separate murder from fate
Distinguishing between killing and destiny
Fresh set of keys for the 09 gate
Obtaining new opportunities in the future
That's another step closer, one step away
Getting nearer while still being a step behind
I just gotta do it my way
I must approach it in my own unique manner
(Another step closer, one step away)
(Getting closer but still not there)
(Another step closer, one step away)
(Moving nearer while still being close)
Separate you need to go
You must go your own separate way
Hesitate you fall below
If you hesitate, you will fall behind
(No way out) So lay it down
(There is no escape, so accept it)
(No way out) Lay it down
(Accept the reality and face it)
(No way out) Separate
(Choose to go your own way)
(No way out) Your time to go
(It's time for you to leave)
So are you ready, now? When are you ready?
Are you prepared? When will you be prepared?
Listen, but now I'm at the crossroads
Currently, I find myself at a crucial decision point
Highway to heaven or the hellway
Choosing between a righteous path or a destructive one
Where I'm going, I'm going
I won't need roads
I am determined in my direction and won't require guidance
I've never been a lightweight
I have never been weak or insignificant
Roll up one up and I never had a big bro
Smoking and not having an older brother figure
Man a leader and they will do what I say
I am a leader and others follow my commands
Make sure everyting's clear on the runway
Ensuring clarity and readiness for action
See you on the other side some day
We will meet again in a different circumstance
Bet they're gonna wish they never met me
They will regret ever crossing paths with me
Hungry, yeah, my belly's empty
I am hungry for success, my motivation is high
Anxious when time's against man
Feeling anxious when time is running out
I've got plans and a lot of them are deadly
I have strategic plans, some of which are dangerous
I'm not sure if it's me or my ego
Uncertainty whether it's me or my pride driving me
But one of us are not very friendly
But one of us is not pleasant or accommodating
Let's separate the men from the heroes
Distinguishing between ordinary men and extraordinary heroes
You'll see that none of us are wealthy
You will realize that none of us are rich
Tower Hamlets ain't nothing like Chelsea
Comparing the neighborhood Tower Hamlets to Chelsea
This mindstate's never been healthy
This state of mind has never been good for me
I've gotta break it, nobody can't help me
I have to overcome it on my own, no one can assist me
But try know I've got a family of madman
But understand that I have a group of crazy individuals
That are willing to die, so don't tempt me
They are prepared to sacrifice their lives, so don't provoke me
So when it's judgement time
You've gotta stand up
When faced with judgment, you must face it with courage
There's nowhere to hide so
You can't run again there's nowhere to hide
There is no escape, nowhere to hide anymore
