Lyrics

Speakerbox

[Intro: Skepta]

That's where we are right now, fam and that

Everyone in the crew is just like, tunnel vision

It's family, it's what we care about or nothing

Like literally, there is no money that record labels can offer us no more, it's dead

It's just, there's no point

[Chorus: Wiley]

I've achieved tings I was dreamin' of

Step on the stage, start reelin' off

Yo, when I'm goin', better see me off

Well, not everybody's gonna be the boss

If you look into my face, gonna see a boss

If you look into the crowd, you will see a mosh

Do my ting like Marley and Peter Tosh

It's Eskiboy in your speakerbox

[Verse 1: Wiley]

I know my name's bigger than I make out

I used to push buj with the flake out

We had the first 110s that ever came out

I would book a New York flight, get the plane out

Wanna get my name out, we ain't got the same clout

Went through a bag of shit that they're payin' out

I had my watch and my bracelet and chains out

Realised that's dead, right then is when had to get my brain out

We ain't on the same shit

I'm tellin' everyone, we don't shot the same brick

You got the pellets, I'm a grime kid

Face it, the pavement knows me, basically, everythin' I know it showed me

Blud we ain't from the same strip

On my strip nah look get a face-lift

Drugs on the staircase, drugs in the bait lift, every day I weight lift

Cops and robbers wanna take it, I hate it

[Chorus: Wiley]

I've achieved tings I was dreamin' of

Step on the stage, start reelin' off

Yo, when I'm goin', better see me off

Well, not everybody's gonna be the boss

If you look into my face, gonna see a boss

If you look into the crowd, you will see a mosh

Do my ting like Marley and Peter Tosh

It's Eskiboy in your speakerbox

[Verse 2: Wiley]

Made my street money, then I done a Phaze One

Me and Danny S. decide to make one

Club banger, street banger on the stations

Gettin' played every day it's in heavier rotation

I'm nationwide by now, people see the energy and take some

Stars in the sky yeah I made some

But how could I be here without

Biggin' up Maxwell and Luke and Jason

Yo, hear me on the sets 'cause I grace 'em

Me and Dizzee made it an occupation

Came from a council estate, I know 'em all, you can name 'em

I was outside in the cold it was rainin'

Standin' on stairs chattin' shit about the pagans

Nuttin' don't phase us, nuttin' don't phase 'em

You got a top boy on your side? Nobody rates him

I'm chillin' like

[Chorus: Wiley]

I've achieved tings I was dreamin' of

Step on the stage, start reelin' off

Yo, when I'm goin', better see me off

Well, not everybody's gonna be the boss

If you look into my face, gonna see a boss

If you look into the crowd, you will see a mosh

Do my ting like Marley and Peter Tosh

It's Eskiboy in your speakerbox

I've achieved tings I was dreamin' of

Step on the stage, start reelin' off

Yo, when I'm goin', better see me off

Well, not everybody's gonna be the boss

If you look into my face, gonna see a boss

If you look into the crowd, you will see a mosh

Do my ting like Marley and Peter Tosh

It's Eskiboy in your speakerbox

[Verse 3: Wiley]

De wole ah wan', can't test when I wile out

I ain't gotta have a gang when I ride out

I just get my mind right then I slide out

'Cause if you're bait, one don will talk and everybody's gonna find out

I can bring a style out

Showcase the style, I put a vibe out

Pass me the water, I got a dry mouth

After that I spray a couple fire bars, make a shook spitter hide out

They ain't got the same drive

Do my ting at night or in the day time

Don't matter what time it is, I make time

And I have a Haze time and a break time

In a dance gyal a wine up your waistline

Everybody goin' mad to the bassline

Sippin' on a one drink at the same time

I power up around April and May times then I have a great time

[Chorus: Wiley]

I've achieved tings I was dreamin' of

Step on the stage, start reelin' off

Yo, when I'm goin', better see me off

Well, not everybody's gonna be the boss

If you look into my face, gonna see a boss

If you look into the crowd, you will see a mosh

Do my ting like Marley and Peter Tosh

It's Eskiboy in your speakerbox

I've achieved tings I was dreamin' of

Step on the stage, start reelin' off

Yo, when I'm goin', better see me off

Well, not everybody's gonna be the boss

If you look into my face, gonna see a boss

If you look into the crowd, you will see a mosh

Do my ting like Marley and Peter Tosh

It's Eskiboy in your speakerbox

[Outro: Skepta]

There's no point in sayin' these numbers to us anymore because we've seen them, yeah

So now everyone's head's on, puttin' this thing on the map in a way that all the kids of today never have to go through what we went through
