[Instrumental 1]
They don't wanna see us man prevail
They don't wanna see us man excel
They wanna see us with straps on crack or with crack for sale
Selling white cause they used to have blacks for sale
Or selling brown, break that down - sell ourselves
Or drink alcohol until we wet ourselves
And we wake up in the morning and forget ourselves
Sip codeine, like it betters our health
And pop Mollies?
When did taking drugs become cool, huh?
Have these brothers gone potty?
Man tell these kids to stop takin’ the piss
I don’t give a shit who's offended by this, yeah
This industry is full of house niggas
Go on run along in the house niggas
Might as well go paint your face you bunch of clown niggas
I keep it real, it's easier to escape from the field
But them man would rather strike a deal
Can't survive without their deal
They’d rather eat the cake in the house
Than to stick together outside, try to make a mil
But everybody got a choice
Man I see these grown men acting like boys
They will sell you out for HMV
Not the store though, his master's voice… slaves
Them pussies are moist
I seen it, wouldn’t believe it
I feel like Lethal Bizzle, leave it
I had to show you the truth, Steve McQueen it
Look, you see these brothers get deals and act brand new
I holla'd for collabs they said ‘no can do’
Cool, they get dropped, then holla at who?
Me? Fuck off, no thank you
Keep your wack tunes, behind the scenes
That’s the kinda shit that the fans don’t see
No label now them brear’s are missing
We're still able, we’re self-sufficient
They flop, they drop, they failed their mission
Blinded by lights it impaired their vision
Stayed independent , was our decision
10 years later we’re here them man are finished!
Wooo! That’s out of order!
Send it out to my supporters
Who stayed loyal when the labels ignored us
Last year we had to turn down Warner!
Can't afford us, so we did it ourselves… all us
We made more than they offered… poor us
So who you rating now, them man or us? Huh?
I heard Dappy threw jabs at me
Man ended up on reality
TV and, that's the reality
My only diss was dismiss it casually
Karma
I get paid to act, don't have time for drama
Nah blood, I'm grown
Listen, look, check me out
Jazzie B had a dream, Mega had a dream
Wiley had a dream, therefore I had a dream
Black boys, black boys, we had a whole scene
And take black music and paint it Professor Green
Listen, that ain't even shots at Pro
So, please save all your comments below, mad
They had this planned out years ago
Call black music urban to gain control
There's an elephant in the room
And if it doesn't end, then we're doomed
They strip us down so we don't have a voice
Gotta stick together now, we don't have a choice
For control they do all sorts
Y'know, evil is normal
They used to kill black man and call it lynching
Now they kill black men and call it lawful
Listen, either way we are taking an L
Want Heaven on earth but I'm living in Hell
Everybody's shook to say it, I'm just keeping it real
And all these rappers screaming independent need to chill
Look, let's keep it real, you man all had deals
We're the real deal, cause when them majors came, them man were all out
They're only screaming independent cause it's cool now
And I know people are gonna be like "rah, can't believe Bashy said this shit"
If you're real than you rate it, if not you'll be on some defensive shit
I weren't even gonna say it, then I thought "nah, I'm fucking all the censorship"
This world's too sensitive, trust me
[Instrumental 2]
I get love everywhere that I go
So I go everywhere on my own
Cause I'm positive, I get that respect from the roads
You next rappers talk bad, but can't walk on your own
You're like the Liverpool anthem, you never walk alone
You man stink like you never wore cologne, what?
Thirty grand watch but you haven't bought a home? Listen
That's the kind of shit that we ain't rating
Get your mum off the estate fam, get an estate agent
Just left your mum on the estate aging
Aspire blud, think higher up
Put some money down - be a proprietor
Open a company - be the director
I ain't talking 'bout films when I say director
Look, let me direct ya
Got a good idea, you ain't got the dough? Cool, get yourself a financier
They'll take a percentage based on how quick you get the money back and how much they are lending
Listen, these other rappers stunt, it's impressive, cool
I could do it too, but bruv, I've got a message, listen
Fire in the booth, now we tell the truth, these other rappers blind you with their like, with their belt and their whip and that
I could do that but, I'm trying to tell you how to get it, you get what I'm saying? They'll be just stunting on you, don't buy into it, half of it's rubbish anyway
And if we was to do it, we would just do it properly like, we're trying to link with people behind the brands, and build our own ting
Listen, check me out, look
Uh, Bish Bash Bosh aka Bashy
These rappers pose for 'em, I'm ducking the papparazzi
Cool, he might be in a Louboutin store, the difference is
I'm with Christian Louboutin, but that's too flashy
Check the Daily Mail, I'm pissed I let the cameras catch me
Man, I've got the pictures, I don't even Instagram them
Cause everybody's cool, until you're smashing it
People hate when they think you're leaving 'em, or catching 'em
Baby girl, I ain't like them other dudes
Look, if I give you peace, then I'll puzzle you
Romance, but no love letters
Man, I'll give you the D and a W!
[Instrumental 3]
Listen, please God father, please God father
I got time for a lot of things but not drama
I make a move people clock after
And by the time they do it's Mo Farah gone past ya (nnnyiao!)
Ya whip's like mine but mine's a lot faster
Ya girl’s as nice as mine but mine's a lot smarter
And my time costs more, call it Yachtmaster
You’re any Datejust available when people call ya
The recessions been depressing it’s been a lot harder
So my fee is the fee, we do not barter
Got a charge a, skip the blah blah
And palaver, send the larger
Super fast partner or just kiss my arse
Karma
Legally killing 'em, manslaughter
Break that down, man's laughter
Bish Bash Bosh, I done a deal with Starter
Go and getcha 'arder, out to my grafters
Look, saving every penny is necessary, and very important
Even though it's boring
So even if you've got it, you ain't gotta floss it, that's how you become the topic of the gossip
People spend their whole life tryn'a impress people who don't like them
What for? That's long
Keep it humble like them rich, wise men
Listen, look
I'm just passing on [?] of wisdom
You play sports? Save your money in case you get injured
You're on the roads, save your dough, you don't know who's snitching
You make music - buy yourself some studio equipment
Reinvestment, that's how you beat the system
Let's be some winners, not a bunch of niggas
Tryna get the money pot bigger, we'll get there a lot quicker
Listen, if everybody chips in
No, it's not cray, it's mad!
This ain't the US fam, this is England
Stephen Graham, United Kingdom
Stacking that Lizzy until it turns to Williams
Sometimes we just wanna release
You can't feel alive if you ain't living
It's frustrating like, I dunno
When you wanna fuck and only got to finger
You know them ones when you went to link ya girl
You thought you was gonna get to smash and you didn't
You could only slip in the hand
Frustration
[Instrumental 4]
Look, see these brothers on their Instagram antics?
Fronting and they're stunting like they're really living lavish
All this Louis V but brother, you ain't been to Paris!
Uh, you should be embarrassed!
Young boy, this isn't no place for your trackie
Pull your jeans up cause we don't wanna see your batty
Get some fittings on cause you can't be wearing baggies
But I'm sick of seeing these dudes dressing like the gyallies
Look, what's wrong with these damn fools?
It's like they're gonna be in drag soon
All this tight leather everywhere
Looking like Halle Berry in a catsuit
I'm at my premiere in a black suit
The way I move's rare for a black dude
They said "who's that white man in your photo, Bash?"
Jean-Paul Gaultier, that's who
Man, we're sitting down just conversating with some influential people, inspiring ourselves
You could do it too
Paracetamol for breakfast
In a Paris city mall for breakfast
Pret-à-manger, pret-à-manger
Des oeufs, des croissants et des oranges, des [?], c’est bon
Oui, oui, pas de pi-pi, c’est les Champs-Élysées
À six heures, pas de policiers
Dans les louvres, Mona Lisa
Je crois loué un voiture Mercedes Benz
Oui, oui, [?]
Moncler moto, c’est la vie be the motto
Work for my Ps, grind hard, F the lotto
I’m influential, I pull strings like Ed Otto
I spit so they swallow, haters wanna oppose
My darg’s got the full thing, if you want hollows
We used to swap games like Grand Theft Auto
Now we swap Roleys, call that time borrowed
