"Persistence" lyrics
Wretch... 3... 2 (32, Wretchclart)
Oi, Merlin (yeah, Combination Camp)
He just gave me a call, this is the anthem
Combination Camp
Listen
Just make sure you learn from my mixtape
I'm Wretch, yeah, I'm persistent
My time is next year, I'm predicting; I'm psychic
You're right if you're thinking I'm tight like pliers
Eager to gleam like diamonds
Plus, needing the cream like dry skin
So some are eager to scheme like "why him?"
I'm deep in the scene and seeking my dream
And leading my team like strikers
I'm a college dropout like Kanye
But I'm tryna sign shirts like the last day
Don't front 'cause you know what I can't say
You're outclassed, I just passed, I'm A-class
Like Mercedes, I got bit by you dogs
So much that I think I got rabies
See, now I flow sicker than aces
I'm so gone, the doctor can't save this
(I'm Wretch) I can see good coming like a slow punch
If I keep on writing
It's in my face, I can taste it, I'll face it, I won't duck
I'll just keep on rhyming
When the mic's in my hand, there's no better than Wretch 32
I flow better than the best three youts
And I swear my respect's been due
Get through, I'm expecting to
Look, I'm expecting to get to a place where the best do
Suggesting the rest should escape for a next yout
Unless you've been blessed with the content that's God-sent
You ain't just playing a game 'cause you're the object
You're the meaning; meaning
You're the reason why everybody ain't creaming
If you deserve that title, it's yours
But I'd rather be a rival than idol
But I'm cool, and like most learners, you might stall
My soul will walk on the track while you might crawl
I bet I'm right, and when I write
I seem to burn through the sheets like an Ital
I set mics alight, I'm vital
Vital [?] the type to write
Typewrite or not, I rhyme tight a lot
Above second, you reckon? Yeah, I like that spot
(I'm Wretch) I can see good coming like a slow punch
If I keep on writing
It's in my face, I can taste it, I'll face it, I won't duck
I'll just keep on rhyming
When the mic's in my hand, there's no better than Wretch 32
I flow better than the best three youts
And I swear my respect's been due
Get through, I'm expecting to
Yeah, that's the least I deserve
I'm Wretch, I spit heat, you're easy to burn
I'm known for the heat, I'm over degrees
And I'm homegrown like the potent-est green
Sometimes, I just zone to the scene
Yeah, and I listen
And I think that I could be the link in the chain
That the game's been missing, yeah
But there's a problem, 'cause who doesn't?
But when it comes to writing hits, who does 'em?
You can have under six, I've got dozens
You won't get above this, 'cause I does this
Yeah, and don't ask if we're artists
'Cause we are this, remember the statement
I can speak for the streets 'cause I've been through the grief and
I can relate to the pavement
(I'm Wretch) I can see good coming like a slow punch
If I keep on writing
It's in my face, I can taste it, I'll face it, I won't duck
I'll just keep on rhyming
When the mic's in my hand, there's no better than Wretch 32
I flow better than the best three youts
And I swear my respect's been due
Get through, I'm expecting to
(Yeah, look, look) I'm next, I can see good coming like a slow punch
If I keep on writing
It's in my face, I can taste it, I'll face it, I won't duck
I'll just keep on, look
And when the mic's in my hand
I flow better than the best three youts
There's no better than Wretch 32
So, get through, I'm expecting to
Oi, Merlin (yeah, Combination Camp)
