Where are they now? where are they now? Yo like where are they now? When you were down they were running their mouth, but where are they now? Cus now you’re up and they’re calling it luck cos they don’t know how (tryna figure it out) At the start all they did was doubt, didn’t wanna hear cus you didn’t have clout when you needed them the most they were no where to be found x2 Some people say or do anything for a following That’s why they don’t wanna see another brother win You gotta keep moving take honour in your ting ignoring the pagans in their sheep skin Those who show love from the ground up never take for granted that’s family and that’s kin but those who are bitter cus they haven’t got your talent, snakes and backstabbers they can get dashed in the bin with no care where are they now? They’re nowhere. couldn’t see the potential now it’s so clear only a couple of real ones that I hold dear, Persevere with no doubt and no fear head down grounded always sincere all the way to the top and when you get there remember those who doubted that you’d get there like where are they now? when you were down they were running their mouth, but where are they now? Cus now you’re up and they’re calling it luck cos they don’t know how (tryna figure it out) At the start all they did was doubt didn’t wanna hear it cus you didn’t have clout when you needed them the most they were nowhere to be found Sitting with a glass of the fine wine and though I’ve never really liked the grapevine I’ve always had a minute for some Marvin swig of Havana got me betting on my chances Bit of lime for the times that I’ve been betrayed brown sugar medication with the sour taste hit the potion getting faded when the hours late got me reminiscing bout when I went from ‘I just wanna fuck today’ to ‘I just came for some love to make’ type mood but I can really sense some change like a fiend with an expectant face so let me lay it out quick I’ve been doing rounds of the same old shit, just changing the walls of the house I’m in with the same stories and the same old sins I guess the real question is where did you go? cus I can swear that I’ve been here the whole time I’m doing alright just in case you’re wondering or does it even matter if I even made it out alive to you? You’re probably hoping I woulda been burning out by now instead the flames so hot I be putting fountains out And in my belly the fire raging, since it was ignited I can’t say that I’ve been the same but anyway Now a little time has past and still the answer remains at large bout where the fuck you are Honestly I can’t be asked no apologies you had your chance if you were never really there at the beginning you don’t deserve a seat at the spaceship when we shoot through the ceiling, collecting all the winnings, munching on some cheddar, Nix Northwest 97’ to forever. like where are they now? when you were down they were running their mouth, but where are they now? Cus now you’re up and they’re calling it luck cos they don’t know how (they don’t know how, they don’t know how) At the start all they did was doubt didn’t wanna hear it cus you didn’t have clout when you needed them the most they were nowhere to be found like where are they now? (Where are they?) when you were down they were running their mouth, but where are they now? (Where?) Cus now you’re up and they’re calling it luck cos they don’t know how (tryna figure it out) At the start all they did was doubt didn’t wanna hear it cus you didn’t have clout when you needed them the most they were nowhere to be found

about

'Swings & Roundabouts' the debut self-produced project from Hilts has arrived. Eleven tracks traversing genres from Grime to Garage, and RnB to Jazz. An exciting and evocative display of UK Rap underpinned by Hilts' slick lyricism and production.

" 'A case of swings and roundabouts’ is a saying that refers to gains and losses that offset each other - highs and lows that equal out to create balance. When we’re deep in an experience we feel like we’re down and out but often we are gaining elsewhere, we just need to change our perspective to see it.
The project is an exploration of that concept. Each track reflects on a lived experience, some light hearted, some with more depth and within that there is an attempt to find the right perspective on it all and ultimately find balance. " - Hilts
