I Call the Shots

[Verse 1: Wiley]

Hard luck

You tested me and found out that my Starbucks

I've got the tips you need for when you start up

Cah my flows dem are sharp like sharper than

When a man goes to the barbers to get a mark up

Pull up to the club door, ain't gotta park up

You got a fly on your neck, you're hark up

Want to hear me sarcastic? Let me sark up

Like, I ain't done shit for grime, I'm washed up

Couldn't afford to pay me, what I would cost ya

I move priceless

'Cause I know the talent God gave me was a niceness

Something you can vibe with

Jungle and grime like a boxing and MMA hybrid

No mountain too high for me to climb it

You got a career in England?

Didn't know Kylea designed it and then he refined it

[Chorus: Wiley]

You know what? (what?)

I call the shots

I got the vibe like I told you before

Manna done lots

You know what? (what?)

I call the shots

I was a young boss, learned from the best

Now I call the shots

[Verse 2: Wiley]

Chasing numbers and views, I forgot about the vibe

Content, flows, I forgot about the mic

All of the things that keep your name ringing

When all of the fans of your song start singing

I said it before: I got sidetracked

I realised, had to bring the vibe back

I'm playing my role and that's a bossy one

In my twenties, used to be a flossy one

I call the shots

But I don't send man to the shop

Back with another one, ready or not

You might stream this song much on Apple or Spotify

Add to my numbers, I'm hot

You're gonna see me in a league, at the top

And you're gonna see me roll out in a team top

Normal, no twistin' the plot

[Chorus: Wiley]

You know what? (what?)

I call the shots

I got the vibe like I told you before

Manna done lots

You know what? (what?)

I call the shots

I was a young boss, learned from the best

Now I call the shots

[Verse 3: Jme]

Serious, manna been calling shots

Since walking to school, morning bops

Talking to all my bredrins 'bout where

Manaman's gonna take touring stops

Boss, 'nuff said

Won't stop working till I drop dead

When I call the shots, bullshit stops

I make everybody fix up like Ofsted

There ain't no one above

So you can't extort no one I love

Or I start moving like my bruv

Anytime you see me wearing a glove

Boastin' because you got a start button

Man like me, I don't push no button

Walk to the door, jump in the whip

Foot on the pedal, gone, say nothing

[Chorus: Wiley]

You know what? (what?)

I call the shots

I got the vibe like I told you before

Manna done lots

You know what? (what?)

I call the shots

I was a young boss, learned from the best

Now I call the shots

You know what? (what?)

I call the shots

I got the vibe like I told you before

Manna done lots

You know what? (what?)

I call the shots

I was a young boss, learned from the best

Now I call the shots

[Verse 4: Wiley]

Goldmine in the Middle-East, beast

Work every day of the week, I'm at peace

Don't get in no more trouble with the police

I don't really want my life on lease

Mind all grown so the path is clear

Changed from a yute when I didn't want to care

Now I've got a good understanding

Brace yourself when you hear I've got an album landing

Man are soundman like Rampage

Man are soundman like Stone Love

Got my own dubs, got my own dubs

And I got brand new ones plus manna got old dubs

BBK is the squad

Without us, tings would be odd

Yeah, we're on another page

O2, manna headline stage

[Chorus: Wiley]

You know what? (what?)

I call the shots

I got the vibe like I told you before

Manna done lots

You know what? (what?)

I call the shots

I was a young boss, learned from the best

Now I call the shots

You know what? (what?)

I call the shots

I got the vibe like I told you before

Manna done lots

You know what? (what?)

I call the shots

I was a young boss, learned from the best

Now I call the shots
