[English]

It's like

You niggas audacious

Hmm

Yeah

I roll out with no cash on me

Calm now with no mash on me

Stay away from these ashy youths

'Fore they come around and get ash on me

That's five thousand capacity

Five thousand capacity

Then spread that over the U.K

And then add it up and get back to me

You pussyholes are not bad for me

Mad man, they go mad for me

Who the fuck went an' gassed you up

Like you're good enough to be clashin' me?

Oh please, stop harrassin' me

Charge me up and put gas in me

Them likkle fish want to try a ting

Oh man, the audacity

I got girl in my inbox sendin' me eyes

Livin' on the edge to the end of our lives

Wolf in a sheepskin tellin' me lies

Sometimes I love when my enemy dies

Woo, so ahead of my time

Mainstream boy starts lettin' off lie

We can never, ever, ever level in price

Take that fee, and then treble it twice, yeah

The problem's back, I got flows

Watch your back, I'm on smoke

Dodge the paps and do boat

My boys are maximum boast

Ain't no time to bly man

Know my ting from here to Thailand

You man got that gun off my man

So you man got that gun on finance

Like what's this rented skeng, buy your own

Use my pen to skeng-fry your dome

Want me to send for them, mind the throne

Cliché rep it, end dies alone

Cliché run your guns and die broke

I don't buy in ones, I buy bulk

Yeah, go and bust your gun, I like smoke

Rude boy, mind ya lungs, you might choke

Like cough-cough, puff-puff, pass

You're not tough or hard

They callin' me the virgin Mike

How the hell I bust so fast?

Rude boy, I came and shook my whole era

No cosigns for me and no carers

2019 and I swear I'm goin' clearer

Draw from the dead MC's like pallbearer

I roll out with no cash on me

Calm now with no mash on me

Stay away from these ashy youths

'Fore they come around and get ash on me

That's five thousand capacity

Five thousand capacity

Then spread that over the U.K.

And then add it up and get back to me

You pussyholes are not bad for me

Mad man, they go mad for me

Who the fuck went an' gassed you up

Like you're good enough to be clashin' me?

Oh please, stop harrassin' me

Charge me up and put gas in me

Them likkle fish want to try a ting

Oh man, the audacity

(Huh)

Had to sign this 'caine, no Harry

Now my track suit says Balmain, Paris (One)

Smoke on bro, no Cali

So you better stay well back, Danny (One)

Oh, now he got beef (One) in the streets and I

Thought (One) it'd only be in my patty (Turnt)

'Cause I learned how to work this handy

Knowledge is power, ask Gandhi (Turnt, turnt, turnt)

I was with the bro in Jennifer Anni's

I told her I'm tryna be the best I can be (Turnt, turnt, turnt)

Next day, I go end up on the opp block

Like who's on me, Charlie?

Come off the wing like Andros Townsend (Turnt)

I bought her a new hanny and it cost four thousand (Turnt, turnt)

Kept, kept close, paigons wanna out me (Turnt, turnt, turnt)

They want me in a box like chicken chow mein

I wonder why opps wanna try me

White feds put me in court and trial me

Bad B's get bored and dial me

And ask for a go, tell them Lizz, I'm like, "Shall we?"

Laid back, but still rowdy

Same youths from throwbacks still 'round me

Funny how my old tings still shout me (What)

Oh, 'low me

Roll out, an' so casually

I'm poppin' up in cities randomly

London City or Birmingham, I just done 100 through Canterbury (Turnt)

No security, I could have a 20 in cash on me (Turnt)

Camden can't believe I'm lege

So they're in the house like they're Ali G (Turnt, turnt, turnt)

I roll out with no cash on me

Calm now with no mash on me

Stay away from these ashy youths

'Fore they come around and get ash on me

That's five thousand capacity

Five thousand capacity

Then spread that over the U.K.

And then add it up and get back to me

You pussyholes are not bad for me

Mad man, they go mad for me

Who the fuck went an' gassed you up

Like you're good enough to be clashin' me?

Oh please, stop harrassin' me

Charge me up and put gas in me

Them likkle fish want to try a ting

Oh man, the audacity

Oh man, the audacity

Oh man, the audacity

Oh, it's a catastrophe

I changed the game drastically

Big Mike cut down Glastonbury (Big man)

Flashbacks from Glastonbury (Woo)

Love it when it all comes back to me (Yeah)

Telling lies, not facts on me

I roll out with no spesh on me

God's son, this is flesh on me

Stay away from these paigon youths

Cah many men, they wish death on me

When Banksy put the vest on me

Felt like God was testin' me

When Banksy put the vest on me

Felt like God was testin' me

...
