Central Cee – End of the Beginning Lyrics

“End Of The Beginning” is the final cut from Central Cee’s sophomore mixtape 23. . With added voice notes from his mother, Rachel Caeser, he takes a much more emotional and pensive approach speaking on his come up, his love for women, as well as the backlash he gets from the upper-and-middle class when they see he is at the same level they are now.

The track explores different moods such as anger, apathy and arrogance which is highlighted by three beat changes proving very Santan Dave-esque which is a given seeing as the South London rap heavyweight linked up with Chris Rich and Young Chencs to produce the track.

End of the Beginning Lyrics
[Intro: Rachel Caeser]
Patience is a fuckin’ virtue
Okay, grandad always told me that
Patience is a virtue
You, you stay silent and then you come later

[Verse]
Fifty grand for the club appearance
Remember they ain’t let us inside clubs
Just put a lot of work in, now I deserve a break, I’m takin’ some time off
My girl no birth control if I nut inside, she’ll be pregnant for nine months
I ain’t got the vaccine, still on the street like I don’t mind gettin’ the virus
We been through worse, bitches third, money second, family first
Think bеfore you speak, say how you feel, stand on it firm
I creatеd a lane, runnin’ the game
One-hundred a day, no calories burned
Mum, you ain’t gotta work no more
One show’s two times what you annually earn
Bro, you ain’t gotta trap no more
It’s ’bout time that we think outside of the box
Tried workin’ and I applied for a job
They ain’t hirin’, so I made ties with the boss
I’m workin’ right outside mumzy’s house, I’m servin’
Same way my bro got locked, I’m nervous
If the jakes roll on the block, it’s curtains
We ain’t got nothin’ in common
Came in the game, the bag, my objective
And all of the fame just came as an extra
My young boy wanna play with the presser (Presser)
He don’t wanna stay in his lecture
The new world order’s amongst us
Look at the ads on the phone that are poppin’ up
Really and truly I should’ve done fraud
But back in the day the trap was popular
She said a trap boy’s her type
But she don’t know what it consists of
I ain’t your type if when I got clients bellin’ the line you’re pissed off
Patience, gotta have patience
Sittin’ in traffic all day give me road rage
I saw a rack, it was love at first sight
Me and the Lizzy are soulmates
Man of the moment, I stick to the programme
Put down the phone if she talkin’ ’bout romance
Although I’m grown, I’m still makin’ a snowman
Burr, I got a cold heart, I can’t hold hands
My life in the hood soon come to an end
Bitch, it’s the end of the beginning
A lot of man pretendin’ with the image
Said she didn’t wanna let me hit, I wouldn’t hit it though
Ain’t nobody get me to a milli’, uh
If I’m with the guys, we don’t need a bodyguard
‘Cah ain’t nobody gonna act silly
The darg gon’ bark like a XL bully
I don’t beef anybody, if I did, it’d be the taxman (Hahaha)
I don’t dress for Halloween, but if I did, I’d be the Batman
Lay her on her belly when I hit her with the backstrokes
See the way I chop it, would’ve thought I had a black belt
I don’t even need practice, I’m a natural
I wanna hit Tennessee, and I don’t mean Nashville
When you go through the things we’ve seen
You’ll grow a lil’ faster and look at life different
Some times I feel like throwin’ my phone away and just goin’ missin’
Fourteen years old, kicked out of the crib when I went Danielle’s for Christmas
Lost time with my mum that I can’t get back
And that’s why I been rekindlin’
When I was in school just fiddlin’
My teacher never would’ve thought I’d been here
Apartment block with the gym in it
Neighbors lookin’ like “How does he live here?”
Takin’ it slow, I’m on cruise control
But watch when I put it in sixth gear
2021 had ’em all spun
But next year I do a lot more than this year
[Outro: Rachel Caeser & Central Cee]
Like warnings
Mhmm
Warnin’ me now about you
‘Cause I can’t get you out my head
I really feel, yeah, something’s telling me
That you need to get away now
Away from everyone
And you need to move away
You need to buy a house in the country, yeah
Mhmm
And just have your fuckin’ life that you deserve
Mhmm
