Why'd you have to give up? (Why?why? why?)
Why'd you have to give up now, when we were so close?
When we were so close
I swear this could've been us (Why?why? why?)
Imagine where we'd be right now
'Cause we were so close
Yeah, we were so close
[Verse 1: Tinie Tempah]
Well, five years ago, we are on the radio that weren't legal
Well you're scary yo, take control of your ego
This love so fake to the man than now
When I came with my sound, made the man them proud
Used to be comfortable just tryna be the best in your area
I was never satisfied, I'm tryna be the best in this era
You said you'd been depressed, you was re-addressing your career
So I took a Uber [??] when I could've came to my Carrera
Just to make you feel better
Just to make you feel something something I showed you that I cared
I admit that I went ghost and didn't phone you for two years
Ain't easy breaking through glass ceilings, we fighting wars out here
We fighting wars out here, yeah, out round about here
So it's okay for shade lights those [??] shells I wear
Yeah, 'cause if I lose the flame, don't know whose to blame
Might probably do the same
Last level of a computer game, you can't [??]
But don't lose faith, it ain't too late
[Bridge: Guy Sebastian]
This fight ain't even over, the bell didn't even ring
There's no blood on the towel, so why'd you throw it in
You could've tried believing but you're leavin'
You could've tried believing but you're leavin'
[Verse 1: Tinie Tempah]
Living in [??], billing up ganja
Tryna get bigger on Myspace, bigger on Tumblr
So a little bit of myself in you, just a bit younger
Switching line and ringing my phone, I'm private number
Tell you is ready for the world, yeah I can see you had a hunger
Said I'm gon' make them respect me, [??] Dizzy and DJ Wonder
Remember how you [??] on stage, got a bit drunker
Didn't wanna share no limelight, no you wanna steal my thunder?
Triple my net worth, 'cause I'm rich in karma
[??] come to my studio, get you [??]
Always showed love as an artist
Celebrate it when you try it
[??] wonder what happened, never lasted
You can tell lies for a whole life time but the truth is a bastard
[??] them times when you at your darkest
Now apart from my african friend house, you ain't seen no red carpet
Had a whole world in your finger tips, now it's all way past it
[Bridge: Guy Sebastian]
This fight ain't even over, the bell didn't even ring
There's no blood on the towel, so why'd you throw it in
You could've tried believing but you're leavin'
You could've tried believing but you're leavin'
[Chorus: Guy Sebastian]
Why'd you have to give up? (Why?why? why?)
Why'd you have to give up now, when we were so close?
When we were so close
I swear this could've been us (Why?why? why?)
Imagine where we'd be right now
'Cause we were so close
Yeah, we were so close
[Verse 3: Bugzy Malone]
I was sitting in the back of a car, tears rolling down my face
I didn't wanna cry but I know the streets aren't safe (nah)
I know the police don't play, [??] on my case
There's only so many crimes that can take place before they observe it
I was on a [??] thing but I didn't wanna miss this time
I was stood in, I watched [??], then I watched [??] then I watched nines
But when I seen this, couldn't agree with thsi shit
I'm one of the realest artists, man make music, man don't bitch
So I jumped out the car, in a different [??]
Wiped off the tears, not turn and run
Told myself [??] do my thing, they're gonna be like London's burning down
I've been grinding five years, four mixtapes, 1 EP; never got a retweet, watch how we change this now
