lyrics

Verse One:
It’s too bad that I do brag
I got rhymes that’ll burn you from my ninety-four school bag
I got much more than these dudes have
Gully, I’ll to interviews wearing a doo-rag
So salute, raise flags
You can call me Michael Jackson 1987 cos I’m bad
(Come on) so ladies and gentlemen
My swag is far from feminine
So if that’s what you telling them
You must be nutty like a peanut in a M&M
And again, don’t step to me screw-face
Say you’re gonna cap dudes off like toothpaste
That’s a big criss-cross like a shoelace
You a joker, a riddler, a two-face
They say I got a tidy and neat flow
Cos I’m fly like Gatwick, Heathrow
And I do this for my people
Girls love the way we roll up like meatballs
And I don’t care what your man thinks
Cos them dudes went pop like can drinks
Are they even talking English?
Is there anything they’re saying I distinguish?
From what’s coming out their mouth now?
They need a vowel like countdown


Chorus:
Ten, Nine, Eight (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)
Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three
Two, One




Verse Two:
So how tough can they be man?
Heard they wanna battle cats but I aint’ He-Man
Don’t you see my dark skin tone?
Old school Nigga but I aint’ Fred Flintstone
And you must be aware bro
Top dog in my field but I aint’ a Scarecrow
And I got this on lock like a handcuff
All up in your head like a dope fiends dandruff
I got East, West, North, South families
But we aint trying to get played like piano keys
And we close like Jay to Kan-Yeezy
Close like Bayswater to Queensway
Bona fide I’m the livest
Bona fide means boney like a side breast
So if you wanna try this
You must be joking [or Joe King] your Highness
One of Hackneys finest
Sick like an old man with bronchitis
Yeah I won a MOBO regardless
It broke the night I won it, put it in the garbage
Cos I don’t need no trophy
And don’t call me for no show if there’s no fee
And I’m done, finished
Nike “just do it” but D just did it
