Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Who am I?
So you wanna be a gangster
Tell me just one thing
What you know about being a hard man?
Your mum buys your bling
Your pockets getting bigger
But you couldn't pull the trigger if you need to
'Cause you haven't got it
So you might as well quit
[Verse 2]
I'm moving couldn't be losing
Nothing but a success thing I'm proving
Nothing to you half hearted wasters
Standing there yap-yap-yapping on cruising
Nobody dictates I'm choosing
Where I go what I do with my life stupid
And I hold my own I'm Raskit
You better watch your tone you spastic
[Verse 3]
Low it you're not heartless
Nothing but a lot of hot air you're harmless
I keep getting my paper regardless
Your words don't faze me I'm marvelous
Age 22 zero tolerance
And I ain't got no time for the nonsense
You wanna see me come to my concerts
And we can do it on stage with a audience
[Verse 4]
So you wanna be a gangster
Tell me just one thing
Tell me just one thing
What you know about being a hard man?
Your mum buys your bling
Your pockets getting bigger
But you couldn't pull the trigger if you need to
'Cause you haven't got it
So you might as well quit
[Verse 5]
Beef stripes guts glory
All these hype bredders in the club bore me
I wish when I'd come through they'd ignore me
I really can't deal with another war story
Bredders in my face with a fist full of paper
Trying to make out they're a big money maker
Talking out loud
Better know a man hustler
I ain't got time, rude boy, I see you later
And I can't forget these groupies following
Fronting, raving, ranting, hollering
Yeah I know I shouldn't be complaining
But these jezebels do my brain in
[Verse 6]
I ain't no groupie, who ya calling jezebel?
Don't chat to me like I'm just any girl
Ah, security, somebody move her
I don't wanna talk to you anyway, loser
[Verse 7]
So you wanna be a gangster
Tell me just one thing
Tell me just one thing
What you know about being a hard man?
Your mum buys your bling
Your pockets getting bigger
But you couldn't pull the trigger if you need to
'Cause you haven't got it
So you might as well quit
[Verse 8]
That whip don't make you a big man
That chain don't make you a big man
I know you think you're a big man
But really you're just a waste man
[Verse 9]
That whip don't make you a big man
That chain don't make you a big man
I know you think you're a big man
But really you're just a waste man
[Verse 10]
Yo let me wrap it up while I've still got time
Ain't nobody telling about no Grime
'Cause I know where I stand with it I'm fine
Handle your biz I'm handling mine
Everybody chatting about black on black crime
All I see is the blind leading the blind
I wanna leave all the pettiness behind
You don't really want to see my cross that line
[Verse 11]
Leave me alone or you'll be sorry
Beef ain't nothing new to me you wally
Why don't just kick back be jolly?
Stay at home with a cup of tea watch Corrie
I'm not listening anyway, man
Who rattled your cage anyway, man?
Ain't no slacking with this young man
Do what I gotta do every day, fam
[Verse 12]
So you wanna be a gangster
Tell me just one thing
Tell me just one thing
What you know about being a hard man?
Your mum buys your bling
Your pockets getting bigger
But you couldn't pull the trigger if you need to
'Cause you haven't got it
So you might as well quit
[Verse 13]
So you wanna be a gangster
Tell me just one thing
Tell me just one thing
What you know about being a hard man?
Your mum buys your bling
Your pockets getting bigger
But you couldn't pull the trigger if you need to
'Cause you haven't got it
So you might as well quit
So you might as well quit
So you might as well quit
