| [00:01.46] |
Yo |
| [00:04.84] |
Bugzy Malone |
| [00:09.34] |
You know |
| [00:12.96] |
I hit the top like I don't know what |
| [00:15.02] |
Now 500's Play-Doh gwop |
| [00:16.59] |
And these man tryna take my spot when |
| [00:18.60] |
I'm sitting at home with writer's block |
| [00:20.16] |
But there's not an emcee as eloquent as me |
| [00:22.19] |
Let me get that clear |
| [00:23.26] |
And my accountant said, |
| [00:24.36] |
I can make a million and not make a track this year |
| [00:26.37] |
Now how's that for a turnover? |
| [00:28.08] |
I made a gilet and a holster |
| [00:30.08] |
Felt like I looked in the mirror |
| [00:31.93] |
When I seen the new JD poster |
| [00:33.52] |
And it sold out so fast, |
| [00:35.08] |
They want me to sign contracts like they're O2 or Voda |
| [00:37.92] |
In exchange for exposure |
| [00:39.69] |
But still I don't feel any closer to the real answer |
| [00:42.21] |
Why did I wanna be a gangster? |
| [00:43.96] |
When will I get rid of this pain? |
| [00:45.64] |
Feels like I'm in handcuffs |
| [00:47.35] |
I wanna fly to the south of France |
| [00:49.09] |
I wanna learn how to Salsa dance |
| [00:50.73] |
The chef come here |
| [00:51.91] |
'Cause everybody in the restaurant kept watching man |
| [00:54.14] |
And I'm thinking "wait are they watching man?" |
| [00:55.97] |
Did he think I'm a p***k, or are they just secret fans? |
| [00:58.56] |
Blessed by a God, fear no man |
| [01:00.17] |
But my heart still beats when I see a police van |
| [01:02.10] |
I was hungover |
| [01:02.91] |
In Phuket I couldn't stay sober |
| [01:04.55] |
I needed a break from pulling a straight face, |
| [01:06.95] |
I don't play poker |
| [01:08.01] |
I was out there looking at the pelicans |
| [01:09.98] |
Stroking the tigers and elephants |
| [01:11.76] |
Emcees all fighting for relevance |
| [01:13.56] |
But I'm on the next level of eloquence |
| [01:15.27] |
Where do I get it from? |
| [01:16.54] |
Did I get it from him? |
| [01:17.61] |
Could it be a white could it be a black thing? |
| [01:19.39] |
Must be the reason I'm the captain |
| [01:20.89] |
Must be the reason I overlapped him |
| [01:22.70] |
'Cause I'm dedicated |
| [01:23.59] |
Me I could have got relegated |
| [01:25.22] |
Imagine I would have hesitated |
| [01:26.94] |
Where would I be if I never made it? |
| [01:28.69] |
But I did |
| [01:29.36] |
Now I'm in a new 7 bedroom crib |
| [01:30.81] |
with spotlights in the ceiling it's sick |
| [01:32.66] |
No bean bag I've got a Lamborghini on the ramp |
| [01:35.28] |
And I don't use it |
| [01:36.18] |
I've got a grand piano in front of |
| [01:37.79] |
the Mona and everything c*****e white |
| [01:39.53] |
But I don't get to see it much these days |
| [01:41.24] |
'cause I'm always out taking a flight |
| [01:42.99] |
Thinking about before it all went bad |
| [01:44.93] |
Never got dissed off my real dad |
| [01:46.45] |
And now he tells people that I never give him anything |
| [01:48.66] |
As if he was there from scratch |
| [01:49.94] |
How did it get so negative |
| [01:51.36] |
Between old friends and fake relatives |
| [01:53.22] |
I've come quite far on a reminisce |
| [01:54.88] |
To get rid of these toxic energies |
| [01:56.56] |
An old friend tells people that I put money on his head |
| [01:59.13] |
As if I'm still pissed off |
| [02:00.29] |
And we was friends from about year 9 |
| [02:01.95] |
And he tried to get my door kicked off |
| [02:03.83] |
C*****e's one hell of a drug, |
| [02:05.12] |
Yeah I've seen what it does |
| [02:06.80] |
I watched man fall from the mountains |
| [02:08.61] |
Turned from a bad boy to a scruff |
| [02:10.43] |
I'm still out here holding it up |
| [02:12.06] |
I'm still backstage holding a cup |
| [02:13.66] |
Dark is still my co-defendant |
| [02:15.30] |
I'm in a film about money and drugs |
| [02:17.06] |
I told my agent, |
| [02:18.38] |
"Tell Guy Ritchie he don't need to pay me" |
| [02:20.66] |
As I was watching Snatch, |
| [02:21.99] |
That's my all time favourite gangster movie |
| [02:24.12] |
I ended up in the GR, |
| [02:25.51] |
Singing Irish songs to the ukulele |
| [02:27.27] |
Sophisticated conversation, |
| [02:29.10] |
Had me feeling so creative (So creative) |
| [02:31.82] |
I feel detached from reality, |
| [02:33.53] |
Now I'm on a footballer's salary |
| [02:35.11] |
I flew to Rome, |
| [02:36.00] |
and the roof of the Sistine chapel |
| [02:37.40] |
Look like an art gallery |
| [02:38.69] |
Me I got close to insanity |
| [02:40.23] |
On the roads I am moving raggity |
| [02:41.97] |
Now I'm in the Vatican, thinking strategy |
| [02:43.68] |
Can't think of an emcee in my category |
| [02:45.41] |
All this from a 1-bedroom flat |
| [02:46.95] |
I wanted a reminder not to look back |
| [02:48.59] |
That's the reason why, |
| [02:49.47] |
I got 'King of the North' tattooed |
| [02:51.04] |
Right across my six-pack |
| [02:52.15] |
And the artist came from Italia, |
| [02:53.52] |
The home of the mafia |
| [02:55.37] |
I'm never in debt, I'm a Lannister, |
| [02:57.17] |
you know I'm of a different calibre |
| [02:58.92] |
I climbed to the top without a banister |
| [03:00.49] |
And last year got smashed, no manager |
| [03:02.21] |
Man can say what they want but I'll |
| [03:03.90] |
never let anyone assassinate my character |
| [03:05.59] |
Some relationships don't work |
| [03:07.17] |
And the separation hurts |
| [03:08.91] |
I know these are simple words |
| [03:10.53] |
But I always told her I loved her first |
| [03:12.47] |
I used to be so immature |
| [03:14.14] |
Even though the love was pure |
| [03:15.85] |
I was never always all yours |
| [03:17.50] |
Some of them nights on tour |
| [03:19.44] |
You could've walked out through the open door |
| [03:21.03] |
When the love turned into a war |
| [03:22.75] |
And now I'm gonna buy you a house so you know |
| [03:25.88] |
you're secure (Sometimes I don't know, no no no) |
| [03:28.75] |
Let me get it off my chest |
| [03:29.87] |
(Sometimes I don't know, no no no) |
| [03:30.45] |
Turns out how no matter how much money I make I still |
| [03:32.58] |
can't pay to correct (Sometimes I don't know, no no no) |
| [03:34.04] |
All of the trauma it still feels fresh, |
| [03:35.20] |
But never again will that get me depressed |
| [03:36.94] |
Don't mind going out as a legend as |
| [03:38.60] |
long as I'm known as Manchester's best |
| [03:41.06] |
Sometimes I don't know, no no no |
| [03:43.12] |
Sometimes I don't know, no no no |
| [03:46.69] |
Sometimes I don't kno- oh oh oh |
| [03:50.28] |
Sometimes I don't know, |
| [03:54.03] |
Sometimes I don't know, no no no |
| [03:57.11] |
Sometimes I don't know, no no no |
| [04:00.66] |
Sometimes I don't kno- oh oh oh |
| [04:03.77] |
Sometimes I don't know |
