(**** the other shit, we got Milo on the beat)

Old money but the new money looking good

Just blew another cheque but **** it, lad, I'll run it up

Remember I was down, at my lowest, now it's looking up

I was going round in circles, ****ing up

Old money but the new money looking good

Just blew another cheque but **** it, lad, I'll run it up

Remember when they never booked a visit, now they're booking us

Remember when I was broke, grabbed shh and I stuck him up

**** it, gеt nicked, another strap and a gun case

For ****'s sakе, remembering the look on my mum's face

Five years straight now, I've had enough, mate

Relationships are ****ed, it's a matter of love-hate

People hate me but **** it, I love hate

How many times I left man with a cut face and buss case?

Running from the police on a foot chase

Real recognise real, I've had enough fakes

Concrete jungle, surrounded by nuff snakes

Put that shit aside, get my mind in a good place

Nearly done a twelve, free my brother, he's done eight

Tracky with a bally on, like **** it, I look bait

Gloved up in sportswear, ready to push weight

Rats want beef, **** that, lad, I cook steak

You can get it rare, I can show you blood tastes

I'm ****ed up, freeflow, looking for punch-ups

Free Mo, padded up, smoking the good stuff

Free A1, that's my brother, it's nuff love

Know about me, Mal G, yeah, I've done stuff

Sick of cell searches and getting my stuff took

Rats are hating on me but tell 'em, "It's good luck"

F, Dan, Z or Ste with a gun tucked

Violate my loved ones, I'm getting your mum snuffed

Rise up the thing like whenever the sun's up

Shotgun, Beretta, lad, I'll pepper your lungs up

No matter what the weather, I was getting my funds up

I was getting my funds up

No matter what the weather, I was getting my funds up

Old money but the new money looking good

Just blew another cheque but **** it, lad, I'll run it up

Remember I was down, at my lowest, now it's looking up

I was going round in circles, ****ing up

Old money but the new money looking good

Just blew another cheque but **** it, lad, I'll run it up

Remember when they never booked a visit, now they're booking us

Remember when I was broke, grabbed shh and I stuck him up

Old money with some new paper

Notes looking like a newspaper

Getting posh, I need a suit tailor

Military, man, I'm too major

Put on weight, too much cake with the cream

I'm still spending money that I made as a teen

Baby girl got a double D in her bra

It's only right I go and put a Aitch in her jeans

Stack money, don't lack no money

Old racks in the safe, I got flashback money

Rich on the net, you got Snapchat money

Better mind somebody don't tax that money

I've been rich, I've been broke, made a flip then a toast

Never trip 'cause I float, yeah, the kid's still the GOAT

Couple hits in the Notes, couple quid for the smoke

I'm addicted to dough so this chick gotta go

Old money but the new money looking good

Just blew another cheque but **** it, lad, I'll run it up

Remember I was down, at my lowest, now it's looking up

I was going round in circles, ****ing up

Old money but the new money looking good

Just blew another cheque but **** it, lad, I'll run it up

Remember when they never booked a visit, now they're booking us

Remember when I was broke, grabbed shh and I stuck him up
