lyrics

Verse One:
I’m coming with that realness, fresh like Will Smith
Lyrically I kill this, sick like an illness
The moment that I wrote this I was thinking dopeness
Not like them other jokers who are hopeless
MOBO nominee times how much? 3 times
Must be these rhymes fallin on the b-line
You don’t wanna recline when you press rewind
To start the record over you excited in the meantime
Whoop there it is, long time in the biz
I can say I’m from the street because it’s crazy where I live
It’s hard to tell about the futures of these crazy little kids
You try and help em’ but they’d rather tell ya mind ya business
I got you stuck like gaffer tape, spinning like acetate,
You have to rate this style it’s so sweet like a Jaffa cake
Nobody can stop me from this music that I have to make
So all you phony rappers take a Kit-Kat and have a break
And kill the excuses about your new music
When all you do is hang with ya boys like nooses
Trying to look ruthless but end up looking stupid
And thinking to yourself that sounds dope who produced this?




Chorus:
Listen, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey listen!


Verse Two:
Hopefully I’ll never be one to loose my memory
Rhyming on a melody from way back in the seventies
Somebody to write for me is something that I’ll never need
Cos every time I write a song I sit back and say “clever me”
If someone is negative I’ll only just get rid of it
I don’t need nobody round me acting like a little kid
Not even a little bit, this a grown man thing
It’s not for those who can’t imagine what I’m handling
Still it can amaze me how dudes be acting crazy
But I know how to Roc-a-Fella though I’m not Jay-Z
One of the nicest every time I write this
Someone said you’re more than 50 cent DL you priceless
I’m not one to disagree but that is just opinion
I can say officially that both of us is winning
If I’m earning 2G’s or 27 million
It don’t matter cos they know when D is in the building
And when I’m in the building there aint’ no stopping me
Just like the highest property when people play Monopoly
I just passed go again another album dropping b
I be one of the very few who does it properly

Chorus:
Repetitive
