Next Door

[Verse 1: Wretch 32]

Two shootings on the same day

Them full of action, them nah play, play

I lost my marbles in the same game

Retaliation takes away pain

Mum heard about it and said "Stay safe"

Laught to myself and hugged her same way

Cah she don't know she lost me time ago

Right now I'm probably on my 8th eight

My next door neighbor tried to rob me

My zombie nearly turned him zombie

I went to check him in the hospital

He knew I was right, he couldn't wrong me

Cah men ain't takin' violation

And man ain't talkin' in them stations

And if I'm walkin' with my blade then

I'm never slippin' on thеse pavements

It's likе I'm seeing somethin' different to you

When we flick through the new

I've seen opps that have died

You see innocents yutes

I've seen mums that are crying

Thinkin' why is she lyin'?

Thinkin' why don't she tell them what he really was like?

How much he used to ride and he scarred me for life

But we just caught him slippin' at the barbers tonight

They say it's unfortunate, but it can't be this time

Because if it wasn't her, then it be my mother crying

[Chorus: SL]

Still we moving, then we're out

Food up in the pot, food up in the couch

Get it by the box, move it by the ounce

She ain't never liked it, baby, that's what we're about

Doing it a lot, moving then we're out

Food up in the pot, food up in the couch

Get it by the box, move it by the ounce

She ain't never liked it, baby, that's what we're about

[Verse 2: Wretch 32]

Woke up this morning, checked my Insta

I see my bredrin gettin' gripsed up

My sister's sayin' that's a minor

But she don't see the bigger picture

She said "Don't go do nothin' stupid"

Laughed to myself and kept it movin'

Cah man ain't takin' violations

And you're my G, so they're pagans so

Fam, link up, ride out in the hours

We gon' splash everybody in the showers

Gang, gang, suck your mum, you're all clowns

He was running for his live like a coward

Why you running? Why you running?

Dip him down

Trip him, stick, stick, stick and bounce

Where's his phone? Whip it out

That was earlier, pussy, this is now

Post a video up on his account

Someone's ringing, so we ring, ring it out

We're zinging out, listening to big amounts

They say we went overboard, let him drown

How many times have I caught man slippin?

Run man down in my Nikes or slippers

Hand got stuck, but I kept on stickin'

Call me the gift that keeps on givin'

DSquared2 jeans when I stepped in Timbs

Got man's blade when I got my ting

Next door neighbor or next of kin

Run man down or do man in

[Chorus: SL]

Doing it a lot, moving then we're out

Food up in the pot, food up in the couch

Get it by the box, move it by the ounce

She ain't never liked it, baby, that's what we're aboutDoing it a lot, moving then we're out

Food up in the pot, food up in the couch

Get it by the box, move it by the ounce

She ain't never liked it, baby, that's what we're about

[Outro]

Jerol, it's Simz

My brother showed me a video of you and his friend fighting or something earlier

I was just calling you, like I'm just, I don't know

I called you three times now, but you're not answering so just tryna find out what's going on

But ring me because I wanna make sure you'll still meet up

Before something stupid happens

Because he's gonna be an uncle and he had to live with that

You know what I'm sayin'?

Anyway, just call me back when you get this

I'm just checkin' in to see if you're cool, alright?

Alright, I'll speak to you in a bit, bye-bye
