Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Ayy (shout out my boy, Diito), nigga, come on, let's do it

Yeah, ayy (Crud), ayy, ayy, ayy

I'm in the UK, no blicky (Muad)

But the knife on me if shit get sticky, yeah (brr)

Still slide if it's risky

Put the dick on the Glock, leave 'em pissy (brr)

Cut to the face, Buck 50

One to the neck, give lil' bruv hickeys (brr)

Run away, do 'em like Ricky

Run shit down, better run away quickly (brr)

Tap in when I'm in your city

I'm the top boy, tell 'em get up with me, yeah (get up with me)

Anywhere, any day, andale, I'ma have me about a few killers with mе (a few killers with me)

Spinnin' on thе block get dizzy

Spin on my block then you must be silly (must be stupid)

Spin the block 'til we leave him drippy

Even overseas, I'm Grape street crippin' (ooh-woo)

We know your mans not hot

How you gon' run from a dot-dot-dot (brr-brr-brr)

Spin the block at three o'clock

I'ma link him until he drop (until he drop)

No opp can get no love, he's not my kind, he's not my bruv (not my bruv)

High as a kite, never sober

Back up, back up 'fore you get poked up (poked up)

NLE Jamie Oliver, shit ain't sweet (ain't sweet)

I ain't never do no trick or treats (treats)

Leave a nigga body wrapped up in the sheets (brr, brr, brr)

White drop yellow tape all them streets

Sherlock Holmes gon' have to come see (come see)

How you gon' solve this mystery?

Your momma in misery

My momma busy than me

I fucked your bitch even though she clapped

But her ass fat so I made it clap

I don't know you homie, I ain't givin' no dap (givin' no dap)

Only hand you get from me is slap (brr)

If a nigga play with me, I'ma be like Shamima

I ain't never gon' make it back (you won't make it back)

Link him, snuff him, stab him and that's on that

Boris Johnson, a noncay

My bitch like Beyoncé (Beyoncé)

Keep a K like Kanye

Might sneak in the UK (UK)

My house look lit like the Buckingham Palace

I stand over him, give a fuck about it (give a fuck about it)

What it is to me? Just another body

What it is to you? Your folks dyin'

I'm in the UK, no blicky

But the knife on me if shit get sticky, yeah (brr)

Still slide if it's risky

Put the dick on the Glock, leave 'em pissy (brr)

Cut to the face, Buck 50

One to the neck, give lil' bruv hickeys (brr)

Run away, do 'em like Ricky

Run shit down, better run away quickly (brr)

Tap in when I'm in your city

I'm the top boy, tell 'em get up with me, yeah (get up with me)

Anywhere, any day, andale, I'ma have me about a few killers with me (a few killers with me)

Spinnin' on the block gettin' dizzy

Spin on my block then you must be silly (must be stupid)

Spin the block 'til we leave 'em drippy

Even overseas, I'm Grape street crippin' (ooh-woo)

Mans not hot

Even overseas, I'm Grape street crippin' (brr-brr-brr)

Three o'clock

Even overseas, I'm daily droppin' (daily droppin')

No love

Even overseas, I'm Grape street crippin' (he's not my bruv)

Never sober

Even overseas, I'm Grape street crippin' (get poked up)

We know your mans not hot

How you gon' run from a dot-dot-dot (trick or treats)

Spin the block at three o'clock (the sheets)

I'ma link him until he drop (all in the streets)

No opp can get no love, he's not my kind, he's not my bruv (mystery)

High as a kite, never sober

Back up, back up 'fore you get poked up

('Fore you get poked up, 'fore you get poked up, 'fore you get poked up)

'Fore you get poked up

('Fore you get poked up, 'fore you get poked up, 'fore you get poked up)

Back up, back up 'fore you get poked up (get poked up)

('Fore you get poked up, 'fore you get poked up, 'fore you get poked up)

Get poked up (get poked up)

(Get poked up, get poked up, get poked up)

Back up, back up 'fore you get poked up

(Get poked up, get poked up, get poked up)

Key Grammar Structures

• I'm in the UK, no blicky

  ➔ Slang + Double Negation

  ➔ "blicky" (slang for gun) with "no" creates emphatic negation without using Standard English preferences. Common in hip-hop discourse.

• if shit get sticky

  ➔ Zero Conditional (Informal)

  ➔ Omits "-s" in "get" (granny get instead of gets) showing informal conditional pattern meaning "if things become dangerous". Reflects African American Vernacular English influence.

• I'ma have me about a few killers with me

  ➔ Colloquial Future (I'ma) + Reflexive Dative

  ➔ "I'ma" = contraction of "I'm gonna". Reflexive "me" emphasizes personal involvement (reflects Southern US dialect). "about" acts as approximating adverb.

• he's not my kind, he's not my bruv

  ➔ Parallelism + UK Slang

  ➔ Parallel structure (he's not my... x2) emphasizes exclusion. "bruv" (UK slang for brother/friend) creates cultural contrast with US-based artist.

• High as a kite, never sober

  ➔ Simile + Absolute Negation

  ➔ Simile "high as a kite" (drug intoxication) paired with absolute negation "never" contrasts idealized versus actual state.

• How you gon' run from a dot-dot-dot

  ➔ Colloquial Interrogative + Slang

  ➔ Informal structure drops auxiliary verb ("are" in "How are you"). "gon'" = gonna/gonna shows phonological reduction. "dot-dot-dot" symbolizes gunshots.

• Back up, back up 'fore you get poked up

  ➔ Imperative + Slang Threat

  ➔ Repetitive imperative "back up" shows urgency. "'fore" = slang contraction for "before". "Poked up" means stabbed violently.

• I'ma link him until he drop

  ➔ Colloquial Future + Temporal Preposition

  ➔ "I'ma" (colloquial future = I will) shows intention. "until he drop" uses habit aspect (implying repeated action leading to collapse) with "drop" slang for dying.

• My house look lit like the Buckingham Palace

  ➔ Zero-copula + Simile

  ➔ Omits "it" copula in present tense (look without s) common in AAVE: "look" replaces "looks". Simile compares house to palace using "like".
