From A Drillers Perspective2019

Lyrics

The Things

[Intro]

A's up

G's up

Niggas know

Gaza

Free my drillers

[Verse 1]

The life that I live is violent

Was five-man up in the whip on a opp block

And spent the whole day ridin' (death)

They think I'm lyin', this beef is fryin'

How many yutes been dyin'? (How many?)

How much blood got shed?

Don't ask me, go and ask them, this beef is real (Word)

Get 'round there for the vio

Same way I'll get round there for the thrill (Bu-bush)

No one can tell me 'bout drills (No one)

We're the reason the other side hide (Word)

We're the reason them man don't chill (Word)

We're the reason they lose their lives (Word)

We're the reason them man get drilled (Word)

We're the reason they don't go shop for their mum

When she asks, best tell her it's real (On my life)

And this life I live ain't promisin', I ain't got a plan to stop it

Still put smoke in rides

Still tryna score on these guys, I'm livin' my life (Yeah?)

And for now I'm fine (I'm good)

They talk 'bout wettings, see me and leg it (Pussies)

I got beef with nerds

Don't war with the 7th

They're still stressing after their boy turned herb (Bill him up)

They don't want this smoke cah their heart ain't in it

I pulled loads of triggers

When you talk 'bout drillers, we're the realest

We're them Gaza hitters (Gaza)

We used to walk with spinners

Prayin' that I run into opps to smoke them eejits (Where they at?)

Need more digits, and spinners, firstly I need more dingers

Feds on my case, yeah, they want me gone

Still get 'round there and smoke that don

Must be high, what they smoking on?

And they lost their heart when they lost their boss (Faggots)

Anywhere goes I'll do it, it really goes off in Newham (On my life)

Goal, tryna score, it's proven (Who done it?)

Who do you thinks doing these bootings?

Weren't me, weren't us, weren't Woody

Them man there just wet like pussy (Pussies)

Get man got when I rise this mop

It was me in that blacked out hoodie (Bow)

The things I do for the beef

It's mad but it's all gonna pay off soon (Word)

Mark my word

One day their whole gang's gonna end up dead on the news (One day)

[Chorus]

The things I do for the beef

The things I've done on these streets

All the things I've done for the gang

All the things I've done to these neeks

All the risks and trips I've took

And I took some more last week

All the guys I've cheffed and whacked

They can tell you all about me

The things I do for the beef

The things I've done on these streets

All the things I've done for the gang

All the things I've done to these neeks

All the risks and trips I've took

And I took some more last week

All the guys I've cheffed and whacked

They can tell you all about me

[Verse 2]

Nowadays everyone's bad

And I swear man it's getting boring

Where was you when we was hopping out of cabs? (Where was you?)

Or when the gang ten-toes and walked it?

You couldn't live a day in my shoes

Made man run in his Airforce, Jordans, 97s and Loubs

Spilt that blood just like I spilt my juice (On my life)

I'm serious, no bluffing

Get him gone for my brothers

If he fucks with the opps

Get got, there won't be no discussion (Bu-bush)

The life that I live I hate it

But I swear same way I love it

Man got drilled on the back-road

Just like man got drilled in public (Bow)

We the wildest batch, known to attack

Yeah, we fill up these waps (Niggas know)

I'm bad on my own and I'm bad with my bros

I ain't takin' chat (No way)

If corn got slapped they know who done it

If it weren't us, it was Chad (Gang)

If it weren't them, it was BCM

Northside of Newham, we crash (Gang)

This shit ain't beef, it's war (nah)

And I need them guns like Syria

Me and Y.S in the ride, that's death

I swear we're way too similar (Free him up)

Dumped on the opps for years

That's hella knifings and bootings (Hella)

Do man's dance and spin that whip

If I see that boy still movin' (Gang)

[Chorus]

The things I do for the beef

The things I've done on these streets

All the things I've done for the gang

All the things I've done to these neeks

All the risks and trips I've took

And I took some more last week

All the guys I've cheffed and whacked

They can tell you all about me

The things I do for the beef

The things I've done on these streets

All the things I've done for the gang

All the things I've done to these neeks

All the risks and trips I've took

And I took some more last week

All the guys I've cheffed and whacked

They can tell you all about me

[Outro]

Gaza

Yo, right now, up in the jailhouse

Free the niggas

Free all the real niggas you feel me, free the niggas

Won't forget, you feel me?

Seven, seven times, thirteen times, fifteen times

Northside of Newham runnin' this ting

Ask about it, got the landing on ropes
