Illy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One man race always see gold
Nine times out of ten I know i've got what it takes
But sometimes you gotta be bold
Became a man I can see growth
I was young, became a man, and now I see growth
Sometimes you gotta dream loads
'Cos it is what it seems
Never made it this far on the snooze
Take my time, green light then I zoom
Plotting my escape, but I don't wanna leave this room
Kept the drive thru the roof, like all we wanted was some food
All we wanted was some bread
They said beggars can't choose
Know it's black and white
But struggle got me feeling blue
Dark days, feeling doomed
Blessed now, it was due
Held by the lies
Freed by the truth
What's new
TD3, got bangers on repeat
TV dreams, got this passion in my sleep
If i'm honest I don't rate your thing it's kinda weak
Cliff hanger, still waiting for the peak
Made moves, and now the talk is less
Mummy said stay true and then ignore the rest
I'm on a whole new scale
'Cos right now i'm giving more than the best
Top marks for the team
Pep talks to myself that's my cheat code
One man race always see gold
Nine times out of ten I know i've got what it takes
But sometimes you gotta be bold
Became a man I can see growth
I was young, became a man, and now I see growth
Sometimes you gotta dream loads
'Cos it is what it seems
Major moves on the d low
Never been self made
I don't give self praise
Find my brothers in need
Then split 10 ways
Arm and a leg for my team
'Cos brothers had my back when I was skint them days
Been a good kid, sweet dreams, i'm on my best
This is hours in the booth, need a big embrace
Gave my all, what you hear is what's left
That's five new tracks, did it in ten days
Pep talks to myself that's my cheat code
One man race always see gold
Nine times out of ten I know i've got what it takes
But sometimes you gotta be bold
Became a man I can see growth
I was young, became a man, and now I see growth
Sometimes you gotta dream loads
'Cos it is what it seems
Major moves on the d low
Sometimes you gotta dream loads
Sometimes you gotta be bold
And i've been shooting all these shots like a free throw
Got me feeling like a G, like i'm the hero
Sometimes you gotta dream loads
Sometimes you gotta be bold
And I be winning cos I roll with amigos
Tunnel vision while we running to the zero's
Tunnel vision while we running to the zero's

This is hours in the booth, need a big embrace

Gave my all, what you hear is what's left
I have exerted all my effort, and what you are hearing now is the result
That's five new tracks, did it in ten days
I created five new songs within a span of ten days
Sometimes you gotta dream loads
At times, it is necessary to have numerous dreams and aspirations
Sometimes you gotta be bold
Occasionally, you need to take daring actions
And i've been shooting all these shots like a free throw
I have been taking many attempts, similar to shooting free throws in basketball
Got me feeling like a G, like i'm the hero
These actions make me feel confident and powerful, like I am the hero
And I be winning cos I roll with amigos
I am achieving success because I surround myself with loyal friends
Tunnel vision while we running to the zero's
We have a single-minded focus as we strive to accumulate wealth or reach our financial goals
