World Outside - Dizzee Rascal

I got shit I wanna share with you

Couple things explaining reasons why I can’t be there with you

Back in the day we parred and thought we’d never split paths

Didn’t see no definite ending to the madness and the laughs

Never thought I would pack in the jackin’for something more solid

I ain’t changed, I just found a better way to steer my knowledge

Running around hype and criminal antics fed me for a while

But studio gave me a lot more creative style

And took me to another world beyond the estate

Some kind of haven from the beef and some of the stress, mate

I wouldn’t call it no escape, the roads are in my heart

Making it that more difficult for me to climb the chart (for real)

But it’s the sacrifice I made, it’s all good, star

Same reason I ain’t always in the hood star

I do my thing, you know I’m grafting like I always was

It just ain’t quite like it was, simply cause

There’s world outside of the manor and I want you to see it I can see it (x3)

Can you see it?

There’s world outside of the ends and I want you to see it I can see it (x3)

Can you see it?

There’s world outside of the hood and I want you to see it I can see it (x3)

Can you see it?

There’s world outside of the ghetto and I want you to see it I can see it (x3)

Can you see it?

Money, cars, guns and women most males desire

I gonna stay red-blooded til I expire

Not caught up in the hype, I’m caught up in the scheme of things

Seen a couple of figures but I still dream of things

Like the kind of shit money can’t connect me with

Unconditional love I won’t regret to give

I’m young, black, rich and ruthless, I swear, star

Still if you need a helping hand you know I’m there, star

I’m from the street, you’re from the street, we all done dirt

Now it’s time to flip the script, fuck the suffering and the hurt

Cause I’ve seen the bigger picture, it’s all good

There really is a world outside of the hood

(coughing)

I know there’s more than this, man

There has to be more than this, man

Nah, there’s gotta be more than this, man

Standardly there’s gotta be somewhere other than this, man
