Ten Lyrics – Central Cee, Skepta Ganlyrics

Ten Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
A playful reference to being transported to another level of success, possibly by external help or influence.

[Chorus]
Central Cee talks about his ongoing success, being in control of his life and business. He mentions pulling up at a club late, handling business with confidence, and showing he’s not influenced by others. He’s aware of his position in the game, contrasting his hustle with others who just talk about money. He’s surrounded by distractions but stays focused on what matters—his grind and not letting anything or anyone sway him, especially when it comes to relationships.

[Verse 1]
In this verse, Central Cee reflects on his rise to fame. He mentions the contrast between his past and present—sleeping in cramped conditions before and now living like a king. He’s not easily swayed by women who only show interest now that he’s successful, emphasizing his principles. He turns down relationships that could disrupt others, staying away from “homewrecking.” He also makes it clear that women shouldn’t get ahead of themselves, mentioning his power and singerity, including his crew’s willingness to handle issues if needed. The verse highlights his street credibility and unbothered attitude toward fame-driven distractions.

[Refrain]
Here, both artists are talking about their status and success. They roll deep, always surrounded by their close crew, reinforcing their dominance and influence in the city. The line about “looking like money” shows that people are now noticing their wealth and success, but they remind others that they don’t bend or compromise. They’re top players in the UK and are aiming for global recognition, showing their confidence and ambition.

[Verse 2]
Skepta touches on the theme of hard work and longevity in the industry. He highlights the struggle of growing up in tough environments (“the ends”) and how you have to put in real work to succeed. He doesn’t need new friends but values loyalty and a solid partner. He points out how his success isn’t just from one hit but from consistent hard work, which is why he stands out. Skepta also emphasizes his strong position with his record deal, showing how he’s built his career with longevity and strategy, not just luck.

[Chorus]
The chorus is repeated to emphasize Central Cee’s lifestyle—his success and ability to handle his business. He’s made it to the top without getting distracted by things like casual relationships. He reinforces that while others may have money, they lack the hustle and discipline to achieve the same level of success he has.

[Refrain]
This refrain repeats the themes of success, dominance, and ambition. Both Central Cee and Skepta continue to assert that they’re at the top, pulling up to the club with confidence and influence. They are in control of their own narrative and show no signs of backing down. They’re not just aiming for success locally but globally, and their repeated presence in the UK’s top ranks shows they’re staying relevant.
