Shekel

[Chorus: Merky ACE]

I was putting pedal to the metal

We was out here from when we never had a shekel (broke)

I was putting pedal to the metal

We was out here from when we never had a shekel (nuttin')

You can try shuffle and slide round my team

But that's a dance with the devil (dead)

And you can try step it up, war

I'm my own boss, so I'm on a different level

[Verse 1: Merky ACE]

I was putting pedal to the metal

We was out here from when we never had a shekel (broke)

Foot on the clutch, gear into first

Then second, then third, then fourth, then duck

We didn't have much

Nothing to lose and really lived off crumbs

Shank in my shoe, now my toes is numb

Up in the shubs like "who wants some?"

Long time before a man held big gun

I was at his front door, he was tryna call mum

I was in the Addy Lee with a loaded one

Says he wants more but he owes me some

That can't run

Big boss fees, said he got a ton

Try rap? (what?)

Spit with his stick? You just spit with your tongue

[?]

In my cars, I trap till the wheels fall off

Graft? They ain't done none

Porter showed me how the ting run

Pull up on your block, back seat sawn off

YG lean out of window with scarf

In Tizzy Gang, no members are soft

Can they say the same? No, they can't

Don't mention them man cuh they ain't my dargs

And we bring the jits in quarters and half

Cause feds watch us like eagle hawk

Please violate, I'm Ego, I'll bark

Cuh Vic and Cadell ain't even gotta ask

Blast, leave a man flat on his arse

Snitch on who? Man ah cut down grass

Onto the beef, I'm down for the toss

Skrrt in the V with tinted glass

[Verse 2: Vic Santoro]

I was out here from the jump-off

And they know that I load up and dump off

Really, it's a lie if you heard that I gone soft

See me with a kweng, I'll be lenging out nonstop

Yeah, I know he was there but he's washed up

I was up in the pen for a botched job

They ain't on my level, I'm the heir for the top spot

Dem boy probably got here at the bus stop, listen

Now they're talking that reckless

When they come round, they was tucking that necklace

Thinking 'bout when they was walking 'bout ped-less

Fill him with air, have him walking round headless

Stab me in my back and I'm hugging that benchrest

Sparking a zoot and I'm plotting my next steps

Breaking up food and I'm plugging connections

Far from a gooner, we never was yes men

These niggas are mad

The way that I see what even is sad

I came out the [?] to the building in charge

Now I'm breaking 'em down, call me Steven Seagal

Terrorise who?

Terrorise what? Terrorise where?

Load up machines, the place that you sleep

There'll be hella man there

[Verse 3: Cadell]

I never had a penny and nobody cared

When I had a penny, I was selling from a celly

Now they're tryna call me Balotelli

Cause I had a bally and I still put it on the telly

I was pressing on the pedal, you was on a pedal bike

Getting put under pressure

I was rising, you was looking on

Do the 20 Under 20 and put me on

I'm the one with a hoodie on

I had a meeting I should've gone

I should've come out the trap, gone to big shit

God forgive the pain I've inflicted

I don't wanna risk getting convicted

They don't know me, they got transcripted

(I make one call, you gotta be here by Christmas)

No time for sliders and drifters

Cause I'm a real soul survivor

Still on road, fight the fight

And I bet no one fights us

Ain't no one like us so the warriors call us Cyrus

Even out in Cyprus

Man think that they're going viral

And think they're a growing virus

Cuh they blow nose from Pyrex

And go to raves and give gyal dem dry sex

Fake machines out? Not on my set

Not on my watch

Tell GRM Daily, don't tell Crimewatch

I told C1 I ain't taking time off

What I put time on, work and rhyme on

Still do dirt when I want

To Portsmouth, say I'm Poseidon

There ain't a game that you won't see Kyle on

He done tracks that I've been running a mile on

(He wants clips so I give him the entire one)

[Chorus: Merky ACE]

I was putting pedal to the metal

We was out here from when we never had a shekel (broke)

I was putting pedal to the metal

We was out here from when we never had a shekel (nuttin')

You can try shuffle and slide round my team

But that's a dance with the devil (dead)

And you can try step it up, war

I'm my own boss, so I'm on a different level

I was putting pedal to the metal

We was out here from when we never had a shekel (broke)

I was putting pedal to the metal

We was out here from when we never had a shekel (nuttin')

You can try shuffle and slide round my team

But that's a dance with the devil (dead)

And you can try step it up, war

I'm my own boss, so I'm on a different level

[Verse 4: Cadell]

Oh no, I'm back in my zone

Can't wait till I see him, I'm grabbing his gold

And don't try to rob, I'm wide awake

I woke about five today

And I've been missing for a minute but I enjoy time away

But I'm back now

I say a figure for a show, they tap out

Tried to flex, he Boston crabbed out

In the scene, I'm Shane McMahon or Martin Shkreli

Young but I dealt with the task already

Everybody tried to put me on blast

But I put 'em on blast and they laughed already

He's just soft, no heart, no belly

Not on dark hearts and we do many

Don't mean magic, I cause panic

Man are old school like Who Killed-

[Chorus: Merky ACE]

I was putting pedal to the metal

We was out here from when we never had a shekel (broke)

I was putting pedal to the metal

We was out here from when we never had a shekel (nuttin')

You can try shuffle and slide round my team

But that's a dance with the devil (dead)

And you can try step it up, war

I'm my own boss, so I'm on a different level
