Been the Man

[Hook: Stormzy]

Look, rudeboy, I've been the man

Even when I was in the pram

Way before your Insta bang

Furthermore, before that Instagram

I'm just tryna get love, when I'm in Japan

I make the girl dem sing for man

Every MC wanna spin the man

But I kill a soundboy like I'm Ninjaman

[Verse 1: Tinie Tempah]

Look, rudeboy, I've been the man

Even way before Twitter, fam

Act like you ain't been a fan

You get a déjà-vu when I rinse a man

And get messy when I Lionel twist a man

Bare likes on my Insta jam

Thug life when I spit on the cam

I tell a man sit down, ain't taking a jab

Cuh man are hot for the EP, hot for the radio

Mind that you don't get boxed in your rave clothes

I was on my boss' yacht after the Spain show

Ask Sony why they dropped the potato

How comes I always hear my name on Not For The Radio

When man ain't never been on Not For The Radio?

If them man are pagans then I've got a halo

Better than me? Yeah, go on then, say so

Cause you ain't Dizzee or Will or Kano

Don't care if you got tats, OK bro

And the very first mixtape manaman's heard is all mine

Said in '06, '07 what I said in '09

Now it's 2015 and man are still winning

You man are just fakes, them man are just kidding

Shout out to them man Disturbing London, you know how we living

Have I gotta tell man six times on a one

Number 1, I’m still winning

[Hook: Stormzy]

Look, rudeboy, I've been the man

Every MC wanna spin the man

But I kill a soundboy like I'm Ninjaman

[Verse 2: Jme]

Yeah, look, rudeboy, I've been the man

(Yeah) The final boss, yeah, I've been him too

Favourite MC, yeah, I spin him too

It's me your bredrin's listening to

The next step? Make my own crep

Yeah, not the crêpe that you eat

The creps on your feet, I trend-set, see

That means nobody can crep check me

(Shut ya mout) Oh please

Man ripped up the Ts and Cs

In my black hoodie and my off-white tee

With my black gums and my off-white teeth

Vegan, I don't chat about beef

Cause I know beef is bull and I'm not a chief

If I catch man moving backwards

Punch man in all of his chakras

Yeah, sorry, I don't rehearse

Fuck a soundcheck, it only gets worse

"Man Don't Care", end up in a hearse

If you don't reload Giggs' verse

Good guy but I'm not a saint

Thought I was coming offstage but I ain't

Them two girls at the front gonna faint

Set gets cancelled, still get paid (raggo)

Everyone's got ideas

Force them on me, it will end in tears (raggo)

Everyone's trying to get to the top of the stairs

But it's bless down here (raggo)

Fuck am I meant to do, blud?

Spitting from 2002, blud

Seen Integri-Tee?

If it's not me, then who, blud?

[Verse 3: Ms Banks]

Yeah, I've been the girl

Same chick make your Mr twirl

I ain't talking 'bout a jewellery shop hit

When I say he wan' lick the pearl

And I heard them girls been talking shit

Your track sounds like a hit and miss

Yeah, I MC but why would I make a diss?

Fuck the track, I'll spin your wig

'Nough chat when they're online

Real life, cool, fine

I'm pretty, looking like I'm from Ice City

But I'll scrap, I ain't got a nine

So just fall back, take time

I spit crack, sniff lines

That raw, uncut, leave your mind fucked

I'm en route but he missed the sign

I'm en route to the money

Yardie man say I'm tunny

Bad but I can't be bummy

Shit ain't funny, I've been out there till it's sunny

Tryna get a bit of cheddar for my mummy

Tell a man be easy

They wanna touch me, tease me

You little niggas can't please me

You mandem are sleazy

You need to go to the GP

About your talking greazy

I tell a man just dead it

Better nuh bring to life if I said it

You know you ain't fucking with us so don't beg it

Anytime I spit, I deliver, I'm so fearless

I've had enough, in my hood, we never had much

Moving grub to fill up my cup, so tell me what's up

Like a bandage, we in the cut

While you're busy stuck in the mud, uh
