Lyrics
[Verse 1]
New directions, new vibrations
Shirt & tie, no blazer in court 'cause I only wear suits on special occasions
Need it all but I’m too impatient
Took an L and I'm raging
Driving ban, so I'm sitting at station
Then I went and got bro from station
Getting on a bus like a man’s not famous
Dad always said, "Mind how you step"
Don’t get caught in dumb places
Where the only option is life or death
'Cause I know that you'll fight to the death, son
But don’t you have to
Too many souls ties will you all up in knots like bantu
[Verse 2]
I reap what I sow but a man grew
You don’t know all of the things that I ran through
You don’t know all of the people I brang through
You don't know half of the things that we can do
I don't why these old school man come back and act brand new
You don’t the reason why I’m off the main road and on the back route
You don’t know the guy that I’m tryna get back to
[Verse 3]
I've had my peace, I need it back
we’ve done our work we need our bags
If you can’t cook don’t eat with man
Will leave man spun like ceiling fans
I’m black and strong that’s who I am
For my people thats on brand
Know your role and know your plan
I've done my time ain't holding back
[Refrain]
(For now, mi just have fun with this)
(For now, just have fun with this)
[Verse 4]
Stepped in clean, different entrance
But the difference is, I did it on my own I don’t need acceptance
There's too many man in the game already no time for a begfriend or yes men
See snakes in the grass already just careful and mind where you step deh
Crabs in the bucket but they're looking for the ladder
Drag a man down if you see him with his hand up
Badman still got manners in the manor
Bow for an aunty and smile for the camera
[Verse 5]
P's and Q's can't trip won't slip
Judgement day might come with a hammer
Different kinda sentencing if you did the crime don’t mention it
Silent, stop all the flexing shit
Still got opps that I can't forgive
Backroad main road it is what is
Check mumzy then back to the sticks
I’m a simple man not a simpleton
They deal with me, I don't with them
Don’t trust a man that says trust me too much
Real ones know how to deal with them
Babylon fire extinguishing
[Verse 6]
Put 'em out, don't help, don't heal, don't serve, chuck 'em out
Try call my phone tell em that I’m not about the foolishness
Minding mine I got new business, solo one I got no witness
Bolo one on a fitness ting, got the weight of the world on my shoulders ting
2 more reps them im done with this
[Verse 7]
Bish (Bish), bash (Bash), bosh (Bosh)
It’s for the culture,
Okay!
[Verse 8]
You know my ting on a Marcus Garvey one,
I don't give a fuck who likes man nowadays mate, as long as my family does
I've been on the maddest grind I am set for life
I've been getting my money up
I sat on the sidelines for a hundred and ninety months,
Listening to all these lying cunts
Thousands of rappers are killers
(How?) Somebody's lying bruv
The murder rate ain't high enough
I'm tired of all of these diet thugs
About man's selling and buying drugs
Shooting cheffin' and flying cunch
Ah, like a man that’s going bald in the corners
It's just not lining up
[Verse 9]
I got the Midas touch, my sides are rough
Another one bites the dust, like Freddie sang it
Many slashings, Freddy level
Mercury's in retrograde
Heavy metal screams, every several days
Any level, stage, any devil, sage
Life threw lemons at me, I made lemon cake
Then I washed it all down with lemonade
The record labels gave me nothing
But my attitude was fuck 'em
I'm from Kensal, on my Denzel, I'm from round the way I'm leaving here with something
Spoke to loads of A&R's
Most of them were chatting rubbish
Cos they would rather constitute and contribute to our community's destruction
[Verse 10]
So it's 80/20 on the split did it indie had to put up couple hundred
Never take a big advance then recoup it fast, payments come in monthly
Ask PIAS if I done it, ask the people that I brung in
Ask my accountant how much dough I've had to pay to HM Revenues and Customs
Let's cut the crap I cut the mustard
I do the track, approve the budget
They gave me album of the year
Now album of the decade I'm in that discussion
And listen I ain't talking Hip Hop
I ain't talking grime
I'm talking all the genres
Listen, I ain't talking Europe or Americas
I'm talking all the continents
It's a madness when you check it
My ends on badness every section
Big nanks and handguns as the weapons
I've seen the baddest man get ended
If the devil had his way you would never ever hear me rap this sentence
Cos when it reaches Boiling Point
All it takes is one shot in your Adolescence
Bap!
