Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Backroad stepping, I've learnt my lesson
Always checking my step
The shh might nap him, there ain't no cheffin'
Mum said don't ever leave no mess
Back to the process
Them man are bogus, I'm fully focused, oh no
Gone clear, but I'm really a ghost
Moncler when I'm feeling cold
[Verse 2]
Still in my right mind, but situations can go left
Too many fallen soldiers, I don't who's gonna go next
Too many man are fake and bogus
Bumbaclart, you'll get kuffed and kweffed
How you arms and you ain't got heart?
How you play chess when ain't you got chest?
[Verse 3]
Charge it
Bill up your ting and spark it
Knock down doors in the darkness
Click it, bang it, don't pass it
Tiki-taka like Barca
DND, I won't answer
Back the to game, man charge it
PND with the RnB
Expensive pain, talk is cheap
[Chorus]
The war is starting
Man ah old-school like Martin
I've seen too many man get martyed
City plunging in darkness
It's heartless and it's taking over
Where's your composure?
I look up to Jehovah and say "Jah Jah, mend my ways"
Somebody pray for me, Jah Jah
Somebody set me free, Farda
Man wanna move like informer
Singing like RnB wah wah
Coming around for me, karma
Can't nobody see
Lift that magazine
It's the rise of the machines
[Verse 4]
Nobody came in the scene like me
Big smirk on my face, shades on while I blow these trees
Came with O's, but I left with keys
Came with 1, but I left with 3
Don't hang around bills, re-invest these pees in yards and a1 artist
Constant grafting
All of my **** are on a money and madness
Whips and Cartis
Come a long way from stains and hardship
Hungry Spartans
I used to ride around in a Transit van
Like a man sold carpets
Flexing wealth might make you a target, fam
Let a general speak
Leave me in peace, let me generate pees
This generation's peak
I still provide for my streets
Haffi elevate gees
His enemy is your enemy is my enemy
Stand back cah I'm letting him squeeze
Set examples, don't celebrate thief
Still channel synergy when I'm meditating
[Chorus]
The war is starting
Man ah old-school like Martin
I've seen too many man get martyed
City plunging in darkness
It's heartless and it's taking over
Where's your composure?
I look up to Jehovah and say "Jah Jah, mend my ways"
Somebody pray for me, Jah Jah
Somebody set me free, Farda
Man wanna move like informer
Singing like RnB wah wah
Coming around for me, karma
Can't nobody see
Lift that magazine
It's the rise of the machines
[Verse 5]
I've seen gravity get the best of them
And I've seen vanity get the rest of them
I'm with my bro and we're playing chess again
When I met tragedy I took steps again
The more the merrier, ain't no flex again
I feel merrier when there's less of them
Flat tempers, I no give no F for them
If it flops, then I'm doing F again
Martin or Malcolm
My mum asked me how do I feel about music
I might done after the album
I had dreams of getting my foot in the door
But hated it when I got round them
Snakes in the grass
It's cool though, I found them
If it's a Martin thing, I'ma lowe them
If it's a Malcom thing, I'ma scalp them
Same old Jordy like I don't learn from lessons
Me and my bredrin airing the reverend
Like I've been curving blessings
Dirty money dropped into collection plates
Hoping my bad karma's lessened
I don't care what a next man reckons
The family come first and second
Why?
[Chorus]
The war is starting
Man ah old-school like Martin
I've seen too many man get martyed
City plunging in darkness it's heartless and it's taking over
Where's your composure?
I look up to Jehovah and say "Jah Jah, mend my ways"
