[music]

>> When the police first got them drones,

>> [music]

>> cells I in my bones. 4:00 in the morning

creeping home, running through fields

call me John Stones. When the police

first [music] got them drones, cells I

in my bones. 4:00 in the morning

creeping home, running through fields

call me John Stones.

>> My team got [music] back to the flavors.

Pick up the phone, keep stacking up

cash. And I can't chat to the neighbors

picking up phone can't chat to a grass.

These days don't [music] do no favors.

So this pure and it's holding bash. I

want a house with a thousand acres, big

front garden and a nice in grass.

[singing and music]

Spent too much time biting, getting

pissed off with random nerds. And I

spent too much [music and singing] time

just talking when I should have banged

them first. Spent too much time giving

out limelight when the truth is I should

have banged his verse.

Straight in the bin. Spent [music] too

much time putting other people first,

tried helping donuts. Truth is [singing]

I just made them even worse. And I

realized quick, can't help nobody out in

this [music] world. I was giving them

ticks. Then I got a chase about pay for

the work. Stopped giving them bits. Now

they want to call me a prick to the

nerds. Can't [music] stop what's up like

Meek's. Let me tell you about this

scene. The one I land and jump on beats

and talk about weed it seem that reeks.

I'm sick [music] of these stupid G's

that talk about nicks and can't rush the

D's and talk about beef. I seen them all

week, they can't walk the street just

curtain peep. [music] Curtain peeping

[singing] when they have a crumb. The

ransom. I said, "Fam, can I pay next

week when I get paid?" If not, I'll

borrow that money from Nan.

Embarrassing. [music and singing]

You're 25 now, you should act like a

man. Stop trying to act big man every

time you're posting [singing] a picture

to the gram. Cuz I spent my time on this

and thinking of bars that stick in your

brain. [music]

But I want to keep it real and [singing]

drive them cars that stick in the rain.

My said I'm sticking the rain. I

told her [music] stick in the lane. When

I spent my time stacking, then two week

kicking in Spain. [singing] Six year in

the music game and 100% of the people

had two faces. Then I met A, a Y A. Sat

at the table [music and singing] playing

two aces. Got that common belief we

don't like the police, don't want to

catch cases. No case for the last four

year, the four before that I was taking

[music] chases. When the police first

got them drones, cells I in my bones. 4

in the [singing] morning creeping homes,

running through fields caught me John

Stones. When the police [music] first

got them drones,

>> [singing]

>> suicide in my bones. 4 in the morning

creeping homes, running through fields

caught me [music] John Stones. That

criminal life was never the plan but

that was my only path. Too much time in

the station [singing] ringing up Gully.

I'm ringing up Saf. Too much time trying

to set up my grow in the kitchen when I

was back [music] in the flat. Too much

time being friendly with snakes but now

I just bite them back. I got friends

that [music] are more my family and

family that pick their friends over me.

My young sister wobbled to the music

flyer and [music] ringing up Asia my G.

Play that back. She did what I said my

G.

>> [music]

>> How much that? Got snaked by a person

the same as me. But I wish them all well

and kill them with kindness. That's my

vibe.

I got more love for [music] the people

chilling on Sandown Drive.

I got more love for the people that

chill with me in that stolen ride. You

can ask him about it. At the airport

[music] I nearly died when the car did

slide.

>> [music]
