Doorway - Wiley

What’d you want, money or happiness?

Me, I’m likely to go for the money

But, going for the money could lead to disaster

I’m a rudeboy I spend money much faster

I’m not stupid, no, I’m a saver

When I was young blud I used to be a raver

Now I entertain the ravers plus I gotta pave the way for the youngest

I gotta break them barriers, you can’t hold me back

I want my people to see the system is a disease and we are the carriers

Killin' each other cause of heroin, crack cocaine and money

We have gotta break these barriers fast they class ain’t worth this hassle

I’m looking into the future, everybody look into the future and me lets forget

the past

And look for the doorway

If you can’t see, wipe your eyes and look straight forward

Can’t you even see that we are blind to ourselves?

Change your ways

Try to understand life before you pull a trigger and take another life (Life)

I think life’s worth more than drugs and money (Yeah)

You didn’t think you would see me getting somewhere in life, I’m sitting up

here in life

No amount of money is worth more than happiness

I can tell you that, believe me

I got pain that’s never gonna go away, this pain is here to stay with me

But still, I’m on the road to success and, that’s the otherside

Take a bit of rough with the smooth, its alright

Life is like a playground riot, I’m trying to learn about life, it’s hard

I’m hurting inside, I’m burning inside, but one good thing I’m determined inside

And part of my heart is working inside, because

If I can be loved, then I can love back

Part of my unhappiness is that, because I don’t roll around family and that I’m

on my own

If you can’t see wipe your eyes and look straight forward

Can’t you even see that we are blind to ourselves?

Change your ways

Try to understand life before you pull the trigger and take another life (Life)

I think life’s worth more than drugs and money (Yeah)

It looks all good from the outside, crepes and cars and bikes and sleepless

nights and pointless fights in the manor

Everybody wanna be the top boy in the manor

Hanging on the streets with skates or blazing on the stairs, I’m not having it

either blud

Nobody’s having it, that’s gonna lead to a pool of blood, we’re about to draw

blood

The streets are cold, you won’t wanna be around

When the stray bullets fly around

I just wanna hustle my town and cover my ground

Go to my yard and lie down

No, we don’t wanna be tied down, I’ve tried that, so I gotta move on your life

and look right past that

I’m in a class of my own, I got status

'Come on wiley you can do this', I gotta get through this

Concentrate and focus, I can see clearly through my lenses, I’m a reason

So you should start to take note, 'cause you might learn a little something,

I’m like you

One day I was broken, then I got money, then I went broke, then I got money,

then I went broke

It’s a usual cycle, that’s why people can’t cope, can’t cope

You stay there laugh and joke, til one day it’s not a laugh or a joke

Confusion hits your head you can’t see, you turn to other things you’re angry

inside

You can’t be weak to overcome the system we are in, you’ve got to be powerful

Don’t underestimate people, I can show you now I’ve proved to myself,

I can do it boy
