Lyrics

Lad

Lads runnin' off left
Lads joggin' off right
Old Bill on the campsite
Lads joggin' off all night
Couple eggs got lobbed at that car for no reason
Couple bricks got dropped on that lads head just for treason
Spindrift Avenue, where we go to do eaters
Old school, when the block tossed when I saw my first heater
What I gotta do around here to be a top geezer?
What I gotta do, what I gotta sell to be a fridge-freezer?
I'll take it all on son, I was born a crowd pleaser
Man that whole decade was full of misdemeanor
We don't run away from any of our bloody seniors
If you were a lad you don't rent out the Beamer
If you were a lad
If you were a lad
Then you'd risk it all and you'll never ever look back
Yeah, mate if you are a lad
If you were a lad
Then you'd jump up and down with your mates and you'd all get smashed
Yeah, mate if you are a lad
If you are a lad
Then you'd go out on the town with your mates, and you might have a scrap
Yeah, mate if you are a lad
If you were a lad
Runnin' with the chaps
If you are a lad
If you were a-
If you were a lad you don't rent out the Beamer
No license but how else you can pull those geezers?
Them lads got a chase from the Old Bill, they're too eager
My mate Tom would do that while sippin' on breezers
Gotta put down them quids, hold tight my mate Beaver
Pound up on the wall was a summertime old crowd pleaser
Twenty man in a transit, tryna run into grief
Doors slide open, eyes wide in disbelief
Fifteen lads, ten birds, love tins of the cider
Vodka and (?), And lads wearin' Prada
Everything fresh, regular trips to the barber
Then you and all your mates go down, this is karma
If you were a lad
If you were a lad
Then you'd risk it all and you'll never ever look back
Yeah, mate if you are a lad
If you were a lad
Then you'd jump up and down with your mates and you'd all get smashed
Yeah, mate if you are a lad
If you are a lad
Then you'd go out on the town with your mates, and you might have a scrap
Yeah, mate if you are a lad
If you were a lad
Runnin' with the chaps
If you are a lad
If you were a-
My bros come last week into the MEN arena
Old school with the lads (?)
Firework night, shootouts with airbombs and screamers
Found out whole decade was full of misdemeanors
Reeboks and high-top Filas and Adidas
"Bluetooth me that new tune" no MP3 streamers
(?), It was genius
Found out whole decade was full of misdemeanors
