[Intro]
Huh
2017 Planet Earth
Grease
[Verse 1: Skepta]
Yeah
In the early morning they pree
While I drink my tea, but
Nobody out here troublin' me
Even the haters say wagwan, start cuddling me
They see me overseas, doublin' P, like B.W.P
Two black boys in a Tesla
That ain't suttin' you see
[Verse 2: Jme]
Man used to get bus W3
White Hart lane to W.G
On top deck, always had suttin' on me
Swagged out in Moschino offkey
Hopped on the bus for just 40p
Bus driver don't wanna age-check me
[Verse 3: Frisco]
And we run the show so blatantly
Man ah making P, loud in my pocket
So charged up like say I'm plugged into a socket
Boy Better Know's iconic
We set the wave and they jump on it
[Verse 4: Skepta]
Stop it!
They were like: 'pay some homage'
That's why the chain on my neck's so solid
It's too late now, get down or lay down
Or man get slapped in the face
Like a football in the playground
[Verse 5: Jammer]
New opportunities, what can I say now?
Flip the game upside-down
Me and my niggas, we had ups and downs
Shows for a £100
Now when we do shows fam, the money don't count
It's not about the money anymore
It's not about the jewels or the honeys anymore, why?
'Cause man ah got purpose
Man's not part of the circus
Dem man are moving nervous
[Verse 6: Frisco]
Dad taught me to be a man
My mum taught me how not to be worthless
What can they say now? Nothing really
I chase after success like a greyhound come around acting-shakey
And you'll get the ultimate shakedown
So just tek time
[Verse 7: Shorty]
It's a problem if you try tek mine
Onto the next line, how they gonna stop this wave?
Don't get brave, you'll get blazed
Likkle short man from back in the days
[Verse 8: Jammer, Skepta, Jme, Shorty]
Man ah turn up like Dagenham Dave
I talk like a king, that's my African ways
One time fling on my jacket and shades
A wise man told me to stack it and save
[Verse 9: Frisco]
And mek sure you carry the ratchet in case
I walk like a king, talk like a champion
When I do shows, it's bare interaction
[Verse 10: Jme]
I spit facts and everyday I live I stay loyal to the floor like a miniature dachshund
So don't watch my bite or bark
Bark like a tree, bite like a shark
16 years in the game and they still got their eye on man like Tony Stark
Yeah, man are still rating the ting
[Verse 11: Frisco]
Nokia flow, man's making it ring
Dem man there get nicked by the boydem, crumble, and then start singing out hymns
Chat shit, man start bringing out things
[Verse 12: Jme]
Boy Better Know, yep, we are now kings
Represent London City so my hands making L's and ting
My hands are making an L like I'm billing up
Hands making an L like it's three o'clock
[Verse 13: Skepta]
That's why your wifey links me a lot
She loves me so much, she's pinching my spots
And I don't need a mansion, even if I lived in a box
She would never snitch to the opps
Actually, just like Mickey and Mallory
She is the criss to my cross
I'm drinking a Voss, thinking:
"When did my life get so wild?"
Man I got girls smiling back, and I didn't even smile
[Verse 14: Jme]
0-60 in 2.8
We always leave in style
Sonic boom like Guile
Road rage got me hostile
Boydem still ain't got me on file
[Verse 15: Shorty]
Wow, how you gonna stop this roll?
Boy Better Know in full control
Lyrical pros, spiritual souls
Born and raised on the roads
[Verse 16: Jme]
I make greaseproof paper, you can't rob me, no
When I'm in the rave, blud, you can't stop reloads
Holding your phone, perfecting your pose to get your belt buckle on show
You man need to fix, coming like mannequins
[Verse 17: Jammer]
Man can't get a picture, dem man's panicking
All these snaps for the insta, see 'em in real life and nuttin ain't happenin'
Lord of the Mics, MCs battlin'
Boy Better Know, my team's travelling
Snakes in the grass, I can hear rattlin' but man don't watch them dons
'Cause man ah got songs and songs
And man ah got riddim on deck
Like don't forget man ah got bars and flows, you can hold 16 bars to the head
Man are on a big man ting
Dem man are likkle man ting like ped
Send an MC to his bed like yuh!
All informer fi dead
