Could you be the devil? Could you be an angel?
You're so hypnotizing

You're so, you're hypnotizing, so
You're so
Prez, where you been? Prez, where you been?
Prez, where you been? Prez, where you been? (hypnotizing, so)

Prez, where you been? Prez, where you been?
Prez, where you been? Prez, where you been? (let me tell you 'bout T on the wing)

Touching the surface but it ain't touching the sides
'Nuff of these guys are taking steps
But I'm taking strides, I was in HMP and left for dead
Don't mention where you were born if you ain't making bread
So far ahead, I mean, when I check it out
Ain't done half of my sentence, stuck in pen without repentance
Still, after a lengthy bird, I was on the streets with wings
You can ask Stryder, two, three girls in boots, carrying tings
Call me a lord, but I ain't carrying rings
Wow, only a license left
All of my charges never been theft
Prez, where you been? Prez, where you been?
Prez, where you been? Prez, where you been? (let me tell you 'bout T on the wing)
Prez, where you been? Prez, where you been?
Prez, where you been? Prez, where you been? (let me tell you 'bout T on the wing)

Prez, where you been? Prez, where you been?
Prez, where you been? (let me tell you 'bout T on the wing)
I was up north near Stockton Tees
But I weren't cruising, driving whips without the keys in
Anything's better than moving food and squeezing
Why do they call it HM Pleasure?
Can't see one bit of pleasing
Now that I'm back in charge of grime
Can't let gas or breeze in
Trust me, I ain't gonna go back to jail
Already set up the cell
This whole system, you better watch it
Set up to fail
Back in the can, can't get to my mail
Breach of my human rights
If that's the case, T on the Wing insights
And it ain't violence
When I come around, silence
Prez, where you been? Prez, where you been?
Prez, where you been? Prez, where you been? (let me tell you 'bout T on the wing)
Prez, where you been? Prez, where you been?
Prez, where you been? Prez, where you been? (let me tell you 'bout T on the wing)
Prez, where you been? Prez, where you been?
Prez, where you been? Prez, where you been? (let me tell you 'bout T on the wing)
Prez, where you been? Prez, where you been?
Prez, where you been? (Let me tell you 'bout T on the wing)
You're, you're hypnotizing, so
You're, you're hypnotizing, so
You're, you're hypnotizing
You're, you're hypnotizing, so
You, you, you, you, you
The lyrics of T on the Wing by President T tells a story of his rise through the ranks of grime music, as well as his experiences with the criminal justice system in the UK. The song is filled with metaphors, which makes it hard to understand the song entirely. The opening lines of the song, "You're so hypnotizing, could you be the devil? Could you be an angel?" the singer seems to be mesmerized by something or someone. The repetition of the line "Prez, where you been?" suggests that the rapper is telling his story to someone, presumably his audience. He then goes on to tell this story, his experiences of being a released convict.
In the second verse, President T describes his life in prison, the terrible conditions, and his experience of release. In the following part, he talks about his passion for grime music and how he is trying to make something of himself, and how he has come so far ahead in his life. The metaphor "Touching the surface but it ain't touching the sides" indicates his impressively impressive growth in the grime industry. Finally, the song ends with President T's assertion that he won't go back to jail again and his disappointment with the jail system.
