What you saying? What's good?

Wagwan? What's happening?

You had so much talk online, saw you on the road

You ain't half as active

Said your amm' come loud like bass

But it's silent like Charlie Chaplin

My striker's eighteen with a hightop

This kid's looking like Marcus Rashford

Got so many, so many enemies

Got so many man on my case

I mean I love when old tings message me

But try know we can't never be mates

Right now life's just lovely

I wish you could've seen that girl's face

When she jumped on Twitter to send

Then she saw me on a track with

I got ten people that I love

Look I don't want a a hundred friends

And this girl wants to stay for the night

I can't, I gotta be gone by ten

Don't think that I ain't on road 'cause I ain't stuck on ends

Mandem dream of a MOBO

Don't you want Oscars and Grammy's?

I came in the game with a plan

But I got patience like Dr. Miami

Dead riding out, I'm sat in a cabbie one runner

That was looking like a tramp in an alley

If man wants war, tell a man sure

Like Luke I'm sitting in the back with a bally

44 Swammy, see G's to the left can't take them for Jordan or Sammy

If you wanna be a big boy for your dogs

My team take you from your Dons like Alli

Army of two or Kane and Lynch

When I'm on road I ride with a shooter

Known from Natwest to Santander

Said you wanna pree us like I'm driving an Uber

I got ten people that I love

Look I don't want a a hundred friends

And this girl wants to stay for the night

I can't, I gotta be gone by ten

And don't think that I ain't on road 'cause I ain't stuck on ends

Tell a man I want a hundred M's
