[Verse 1] Uh-oh, joke's on you Heard you tried to ring, but it never went through, yeah You're blocked, your friends are too I'm out with the lasses and we're not looking for recruits Uh-oh, who's on what? Don't tell my brother 'cause he might come and knock, yeah What we buyin'? Everything you got Tell them little haters that we'll take the whole lot [Chorus] You ain't got no backbone [Verse 2] I do it for the lads and the lasses at home I don't do it to please the CEOs They're a littlе bit relentless So I'm lеtting them all know Used to give them high-fives, now it's just the middle finger, ah Pop a show stopper now you know that I'm a winner They think I'm a popstar, I think I'm a singer Written more hooks than you've had (Roast dinners) This ain't southern-fried, I'm a Northern girl (Out of South Shields) This is Chase & Status, this Stormzy with the JADE feel Score a goal like I'm Alan Shearer wearing brown ale Ever seen a Mackem in Milan?
