Lucky Strike

[Intro: George The Poet]

If we switched up the cards we were dealt

You wouldn't believe how fast you'd melt

You'd fall by the wayside

I'd pass you a belt

And you'd hold on to how harsh you had felt

Telling me don't fast yourself

Badman - don't ask for help

While I watch you gasp and yelp

Trying to swim as fast as Phelps

See we're the bastards throughout

The rose cast a spell

You know this perfectly bruv

You don't deserve to be loved

You get a doctor's salary from serving the drugs

And the thirsty chicks don't mind you perving at jugs

If he's not about money then you call him a clown

He's on a joke ting

What's funny about [?] supporting [?]

That's why you're the talk of the town

Walking around, sporting a crown

Pied Piper with the hoodrats crawling around

You're turned up, why would you turn all of it down?

[Verse 1: Mikill Pane]

I believe the night they shot my father into an early grave

He tried to see if I could grow up lucky with the words he prayed

My illegal life throws Scotland Yard into the worst rage

For my legal advisors coke compartment fits a murder case

Just in case, it needs to be impossibly large

Cause if I pick up a murder weapon they ain't dropping the charge

But for now we ain't that serious, I'm honestly laughing

Cos they just acquitted me of grievous bodily harm

Had to stop and grin at them before I walked scott-free

I'm not a model citizen so you've got nothing on me

And what's funny about the madness and the madness in the chance to put me away

Somehow they managed to lose the sample of my DNA

[Hook: Mikill Pane] x 2

Call me lucky - I've lived up to my name to the maximum

Everything that happens to me is fate not an accident

And if you say the way I make my livelihood's reckless

Fuck your food for thought, I eat my rivals for breakfast

[Verse 2: Mikill Pane]

Somebody invites me to a party for their birthday

Somebody there decides to throw Cristal in my girl's face

I probably would have left it if he said 'I'm truly sorry, G'

But he disrespects me, says 'I never do apologies'

How am I supposed to react in a situation like that?

And if you're prepared to answer that you'd best be Aristotle

I never chose to be bad but these dickheads made me fight bad

Don't tell me it was harsh to grab an empty Brandy bottle

With my weaker left and put it in my highly mighty right and swing

Give that nigga a scar like I'm inspired by The Lion King

Cos if you'd turned the tables and my foe'd reacted bettter

It'd be me on the surgeon's table getting my nose put back together

I lead a life that puts my life at risk

But I've never been reliant on survival tactics

Something deeper's keeping me alive in this vicious league

What's the point of saying you lead a life if you ain't in the lead?

[Hook] x 2

Most of my friends are actually calling me lucky

I've broken every trafficking law in this country

I get drugs by the kilo please don't expect me to say I'm done with them

I'm trapped within the trade because I keep escaping punishment

I'm fucking up a different nigga every weekend

And I know my last victim will never get his revenge

Cos his enemies didn't find it hard to find him on the tipper

They executed him, started blasting while his kids watched

For them it means the worst they'll have to see their papa leave a hearse

I'll tell you a secret - I think that killers are ingenious

On top of the fact that they filled his head with holes in broad daylight

They shot him in the park - just to show him it wasn't playtime

I see that clever sort of thing and I appreciate it

Even when destroying shit they try to be creative

And the problem of being a target was so

Before I had to do something to get my lawyer's coke compartment involved

[Hook] x 2
