Rags

How long? Baby tell me how long Have you been pretending? I just wanna know I wanna know My words cut you hard and hard And you made me say what I really been thinking all along How long you been pretending? You've been living a lie How long you been pretending? You've been living a lie How long you been pretending? How long you been pretending? I love the love and I embrace the hatred Brothers are coming up with their mixtapes, basic Subbing number one in the diss race, the aiming Stomping on the bread in a big way, amazing Nothing on my head but a big brain, patience Money I'mma get when I display, the greatness Come on I get it when I swing blades at faces Tell a brudda I said I'm invading spaces I'm only cool, with a handful of artists Out the scene, full of thousands Most of your favourite artists in the country You ain't gonna see me around them Four hundred hour bags for the feature And I never discounted them It cost sharing an arm and a leg And both lungs to have me on an album Rags I got a rude attitude Never been afraid of being hated Rags I'm from the east side of the river Thames Not far from the Kray twins Rags Growing up everyone on my road were just shutters or gunmen Rags So when I was old enough to roll You don't know what I done then Rags Rags Rags Rags Rags Rags Rags Rags Rags Rags How long you been pretending? I don't give a fuck about anyone Who finds what I'm saying is offensive I don't tiptoe around anyone I'm irate Stomp the floor until it vibrates, endless Nobody ain't gotta second guess What I'm actually thinking I'm upfront, catch up with the questions Speaking my mind is as natural as thinking Some think it's practical whinging Fuck that, I ain't gonna hold my tongue back There's a scene called grime and I run that I've been away for a minute And everybody's been awaiting my comeback I love that, I've been carrying the scene on my shoulders My brudda no wonder I've got a hunchback Nostradamus and Prada Street sweeper with no dust bag Rags I got a rude attitude Never been afraid of being hated Rags I'm from the east side of the river Thames Not far from the Kray twins Rags Growing up everyone on my road were just shutters or gunmen Rags So when I was old enough to roll You don't know what I done then Rags Rags Rags Rags Rags Rags Rags Rags Rags Rags I say what I mean, I mean what I say I mean what I say, I say what I mean Fucking indirects, say it to me You got something on your mind, say it then G Rags I say what I mean, I mean what I say Rags I mean what I say, I say what I mean Rags Fucking indirects, say it to me Rags You got something on your mind, say it then G Rags I got a rude attitude Never been afraid of being hated Rags I'm from the east side of the river Thames Not far from the Kray twins Rags Growing up everyone on my road were just shutters or gunmen Rags So when I was old enough to roll You don't know what I done then Rags Rags Rags Rags Rags Rags Rags Rags Rags Rags My words cut you hard and hard And you made me say what I really been thinking all along How long you been pretending? You've been living a lie How long you been pretending? You've been living a lie How long you been pretending? How long you been pretending?
