Bad 'em up, bad 'em up, bad 'em up once
If you wanna come and take man for a dunce
I've been on the grind for a hundred months
And I ain't stopped doing music, not once
Bad 'em up, bad 'em up, bad 'em up once
If you wanna come and take man for a dunce
I've been on the grind for a hundred months
And I ain't stopped doing music, not once
See, the bars I write, they're like scriptures
I'm famous and everybody takes pictures
I had faith since decks and mixers
And you're a non-believer, so I can't see you in the distance
Picture the game as a whore, it's healthy
Like the boy better know tea business
J is my witness, I'm a musician, ask Skepta
Three of us talk then we make a decision
You know me, I got good vision, rude boy, listen
Don't fuck about, there'll be a rude boy missing
When the goons start fishing, I'm a L-
O-N killer with the hood snakes hissing
Me, the shotta that you couldn't really see, made the dream come true
After years of wishing, after years
Of dissing, after years of swinging
Still did the crime and walked, no, because
Everything seems cloudy, I've never been
Robbed in the game 'cause I'm rowdy
Carry on, I will take a hammer to your
Audi, I'm like a soldier from Saudi
You're not bad, man, wanna see me try and hound me?
It's next week and you still ain't found me
The phone starts ringing when I drive through Bounty
And where's Lethal? He ain't in Bounty
Twenty-seven, big achiever, E2 Weaver, had the first Sega
Blud, I emerge like a jungle fever
All in one creeper, Roman street sweeper
Don't get gashed by the hour, rude boy, I get gashed by the metre
Wilehouse senior, lemons will lean ya, P3 teacher, L-O-N preacher
UK speaker, Trinidad bloodline
St Paul soldier, North London, I got next door neighbour
Eskimo raver, hell stone visitor, meridian resident
Senior man in the president, shower man, all South soldiers
Don't fear olders, never had youngers, age ain't nothing but numbers
'Cause the seventeen year olds roll with the pumpers
I am a temple tourer, champagne pourer
Winchmore warrior, class A courier
Grime scene ambassador, duppy maker
44 Saviour, Ally Pally jungle raver
Entry ticket and a borer, fresh haircut
With a side parting and a border
Selby centre explorer, private caller ignorer
I'm an Eskidance keeper, get the weed cheaper, quantum leaper
The Tottenham high streeter, Eski beat beater
A star reader, four times community service breacher
But I'm still facing jail, the case beater
Robbery, burglary, dad got nicked 'cause of me
The police thought I was a porn shop dealer
Back in the day, I was a wheeler and dealer
Fly to Westwood, the sky is blue and the grass is greener
Paul Smith jeans, two Air Max Typhoons, shroom gash beater
Yeah, I know Jenny but I don't know Rita
Plus my mum's family come from Antigua
You come from West but you don't know younger or older beaver
I was in carnival, 12 years back with the East London side leaders
Man are badman, man are breeders
Yo
You need to say the real, right
Yeah
So now I needed to say, okay, I needed to say "ebon"
Ebon
Ebon
Say, no, you need to do that, see, do this, do this, do this
Ebon
Oh
