Lyrics

Taliban

[Intro]

Hello (Yeah)

Hold tight my Taliban massive

Hold tight Taliban Trim (As-salamu alaykum)

Hold tight the massive on the road, doing this ting (Hello), yeah

Hold tight my Matrix Camp

What, twenty eight G, yeah?

Twenty eight G

Oi, you know what?

You know what? You see my ting that I've got

My ting's a bit more than that, so, my ting ain't twenty eight G

They ain't twenty eight G, it's gone up

The price is going up (Shut your mouth)

Yeah

[Verse 1]

Listen

(Taliban)

The price of coke's going up

It's thirty four gram for a key, it's a shine (Taliban)

Ride up North on my R6, M1

Check all my brothers in the grind (Taliban)

Plus my boss is a badder man

I'm the new Tech N9ne, boy roll solo (Taliban)

No, I don't roll with a bagga man

Late night, gallivant around London (Taliban)

Trim and me in the army

Everything's cool because now we're on door with (Taliban)

Before I read the Quran

Make sure I got clean palms

I pray with (Taliban)

I wanna be a part of an army too strong for any other army

Wiley's (Taliban)

Said "convert" from way back

But I didn't wanna hear that

I was hard-headed

[Interlude]

You know why?

Cah, Muhammad Dawali's telling me to convert from long time

But I couldn't see, I couldn't see the vision but you know what?

Listen

[Verse 2]

Add grease to the army

Who's already (Taliban)

The nation of Islam's calling

Wait up, Wiley Muslim?

Why's he (Taliban)?

Because he could see the light clear before the conversion

He had no fear around (Taliban)

Pray for my family

Pray for my brothers and sisters

Misses and misters (Taliban)

Take over summers and winters

Bikes and cars and a red check scarf I'm (Taliban)

[?] Ilford Calabash

Night before was a mad one I saw Allieman (Taliban)

He's telling me I'm Taliban

'Cause I got rid of all the box street drama (Taliban)

Soldier, I walked home after

Blood that war didn't end in laughter (Taliban)

I'm too real for the road

I had to sit back, now I roll like a South West Muslim (Taliban)

[Interlude]

And I ain't having it

Hold tight [?]

Hold tight C O X

Hold tight all my E3 soldiers

Hold tight the North soldiers

West Side soldiers

Hold tight the South soldiers

All around the UK

You know we're doing this ting

Right now

Hold tight Muhammad Dawali

Hold tight your twin, rest in peace

Hello

It's Eskiboy

[Verse 3]

Anyway you see Wiley, you will see

Send money back home by a bank or Western Union

I use MoneyGram (Taliban)

My dad's first heater indoors is a Calor Gas

He was a Rasta, Eskiboy's (Taliban)

If you want beats then holler back

I'll watch you climb up an unsafe ladder round (Taliban)

Jump to the bath, I tried to be Taliban

We all know where hell is (Taliban)

Mash up the dance like Jammer can

I'm on my own, you came with a bagga man (Taliban)

Look into my eyes, I'm grime

Don't believe me? Go and ask Stanaman (Taliban)

I should be in combination chain gang

The links are too tight with Taliban (Taliban)

Remember Bethnal Green fair, me, Rudy

Ibbie, Dwayne, and Jay, Ramadan (Taliban)

[Outro]

Yeah

Conversion

Hold tight all my converters though

Eskiboy

AKA Wiley (As-salamu alaykum)

You better have open arms for me, rude boy

Welcome me like a soldier

Because that's exactly what I am

No holds barred (Shut your mouth)

Brap

Brap
