Ready To Blow

[Verse 1]

I went from 0-100 real quick, all by talking some real shit

I got a taste of happiness, 'till I realized that people just wanna steal this

And when they say that money buys comfort, just know that it's a real myth

I went from eighteen to like thirty-six, to like seventy-two, still ready to flip

I got a million views

And it felt like a million people wanted this seat

He wants to know me, she wants a piece

He wants to know if she's got the D

'Cause I am the guy that he wants to be

But I was grinding while he was asleep

I'm sleep deprived; I nodded off and woken up in the driver's seat

Looked in the rear view mirror

Notin' but darkness 'cause I'm in too deep

No turning back, I'm overexposed

Ten-thousand views and I was cold

Twenty-thousand views used to be loads

I was known all over my postcode

Nine-hundred and eighty-thousand views later and I'm noticed by the MOBOs

[Chorus]

I'm ready to blow, I'm ready to blow, I'm ready to blow

Back then nobody wanted to know

I said back then nobody wanted to know

I'm ready to blow, I'm ready to blow, I'm ready to blow

Now people are ringing off my phone

Now people are ringing off my phone

[Verse 2]

Imagine me standing on that stage

Who would I thank? What would I say?

I'd probably start with a moment of silence

The struggle has faded way

I've not come to do what's been done, understand I will change the game

And when I'm playlisted and when I'm used to fame

I'll do a Cassius Clay, and I'll change my name

Because my last name isn't my dad's name

'Cause my dad never wanted to know

But when he heard I was gonna be famous, he won't stop ringing off my phone

Tell him there's nobody home

'Cause I'm way too busy putting Manchester on the map

And I'm Bugzy Malone

That's no secret, everybody on Twitter knows that

When will I get a blue tick?

I'm like David Blaine with a new trick

'Cause when I say 0161, Manny on the map, everybody in the room goes sick

I am the evolution of grime

In fact, I am way before my time

Nobody wanted to know me back then, so I just rung people off my line

[Chorus]

I'm ready to blow, I'm ready to blow, I'm ready to blow

Back then nobody wanted to know

I said back then nobody wanted to know

I'm ready to blow, I'm ready to blow, I'm ready to blow

Now people are ringing off my phone

Now people are ringing off my phone

[Post-Chorus]

I don't know these people, these people don't know me

I come from the bottom, and the bottom's kinda lonely

I said I don't know these girls, and these girls they don't know me

But now they want my number all of a sudden to phone me

I said I don't know these brothers, these brothers don't know me

But now they wanna swear down on their lives that we were cosy

I said all I got's my people and all my people know me

All my people know me, I said all my people know me

[Chorus]

I'm ready to blow, I'm ready to blow, I'm ready to blow

Back then nobody wanted to know

I said back then nobody wanted to know

I'm ready to blow, I'm ready to blow, I'm ready to blow

Now people are ringing off my phone

Now people are ringing off my phone

I'm ready to blow, I'm ready to blow, I'm ready to blow

Back then nobody wanted to know

I said back then nobody wanted to know

I'm ready to blow, I'm ready to blow, I'm ready to blow

Now people are ringing off my phone

Now people are ringing off my phone

[Post-Chorus]

I don't know these people, these people don't know me

I come from the bottom, and the bottom's kinda lonely

I said I don't know these girls, and these girls they don't know me

But now they want my number all of a sudden to phone me

I said I don't know these brothers, these brothers don't know me

But now they wanna swear down on their lives that we were cosy

I said all I got's my people and all my people know me

All my people know me, I said all my people know me
