Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mad
Mad
[Verse 2]
Back when me and Avelino used to make tracks
Live and die in the LDN, in ends it's mad (Shit's crazy)
Trappers and a whole family in the same damn flat (Um)
Eve tryna get a salary while Adam out here lickin' shots to the cats
Don't lack
Shubz on a Friday pullin' up at Jbo's gaff (Skurting, ay)
2-2 gyal gettin' moved by 2-2 man (2-2 man, ay)
Come off the decks if you can't mix it's not happenin' (Nah)
More time gunshots in the air like bap, bap, bap, bap (Mad)
Book smart with the bars, but I never learnt that from school (Nah)
Sixteen doin' up radios sets
I was spinnin' up all them fools (Spinnin' 'em, spinnin' 'em, ay)
Times I would get home late to my mumzie's crib
"Simbi who you with? What have you done?
Where have you been?" Shit (Damn)
Tears in my eyes, real tears when Ken got nicked (Ken got nabbed)
Tore everyone apart, but the law don't give two shits (Don't give two fucks)
Just another black boy in the system doing time in bin (True)
But he had a heart full of gold, good intent with a smile so big
Oh, he did, ay
[Verse 3]
We used to have dreams of gettin' out the flats (Gettin' out the flats)
Playing PS2, Crash Bandicoot, Mortal Kombat (Know them ones)
I mastered my flow like Dizzee and Busta (Legends)
And one day buy real weed from a Rasta (Real Rasta man)
[Verse 4]
Slickin' down baby hairs way before Insta (Way before Insta)
Times when I had a dummy on my chain
All for one likkle pose in a picture (Snap, snap, ay)
Year 11 when I started puttin' them trees in Rizla (Smoke, smoke)
And to the **** that fell off in this ting no, we don't miss ya, no, we don't
But sometimes you have to go missin' (Missin', missin')
Need a way out, I was hopin', prayin' and wishin' (Prayin' and wishin')
Now I'm doin' up some mad tings, doin' up big tings
Still I'm in ends when I pass through junior's plain ready on sight
When I walk in, Wayne shouts out "Yo, wagwan sistren?"
Kill' em with flows, one by one, or I kill 'em in bulk
Simz is the only one on her job
It's bait, everyone in London knows (Um)
Still no, they don't wanna give no props
But life's good when you make this much dough
I'm laid back, I'm good, I'm easy
Old school, it was too damn easy
[Verse 5]
Ina my Air Force One new era hat (Era hat)
Playin' PS2, Crash Bandicoot, Mortal Kombat (Mortal Kombat, old school)
Used to bump train and dip the conductor
Now I can buy whole heap-a ting from a Rasta (Bare tings)
We used to have dreams of gettin' out the flats (Ooh, we did, we did)
Bus rides to the studio just to make tracks (EC1 days)
I mastered my flow like Luda and Kano (True)
Ask Lou and Reece and them, man, trust me, they know
(Trust me, they know, they know, they know)
[Verse 6]
Listening to new sounds of Little Simz, Little Slimz
This is 101FM
We're live at you
Top of the flats
Can't see us, but you can hear us
We're lovin' it, you're lovin' it
Sweet as a fucking nut
