[00:02.77]
[00:13.58] Look, rudeboy, I've been the man
[00:16.02] Even when I was in the pram
[00:17.58] Way before your Insta bang
[00:19.14] Furthermore, before that Instagram
[00:20.83] I'm just tryna get love, when I'm in Japan
[00:22.64] I make the girl dem sing for man
[00:24.39] Every MC wanna spin the man
[00:25.95] But I kill a soundboy like I'm Ninjaman
[00:27.33]
[00:27.58] Look, rudeboy, I've been the man
[00:29.52] Even way before Twitter, fam
[00:31.27] Act like you ain't been a fan
[00:32.64] You get a déjà-vu when I rinse a man
[00:34.58] And get messy when I Lionel twist a man
[00:36.39] Bare likes on my Insta jam
[00:38.08] Thug life when I spit on the cam
[00:39.52] I tell a man sit down, ain't taking a jab
[00:41.58] Cuh man are hot for the EP, hot for the radio
[00:43.08] Mind that you don't get boxed in your rave clothes
[00:44.83] I was on my boss' yacht after the Spain show
[00:46.58] Ask Sony why they dropped the potato
[00:48.83] How comes I always hear my name on Not For The Radio
[00:53.22] When man ain't never been on Not For The Radio?
[00:55.47] If them man are pagans then I've got a halo
[00:56.91] Better than me? Yeah, go on then, say so
[00:58.72] Cause you ain't Dizzee or Will or Kano
[01:00.53] Don't care if you got tats or cane rolls
[01:03.31] And the very first mixtape manaman's heard is all mine
[01:06.81] Said in '06, '07 what I said in '09
[01:10.50] Now it's 2015 and man are still winning
[01:13.75] You man are just fakes, them man are just kidding
[01:16.81] Shout out to them man Disturbing London, you know how we living
[01:19.94] Have I gotta tell man six times on a one
[01:21.61] Number 1, I’m still winning
[01:22.48]
[01:22.67] Look, rudeboy, I've been the man

[01:26.30] Way before your Insta bang
[01:27.61] Furthermore, before that Instagram
[01:29.42] I'm just tryna get love, when I'm in Japan

[01:56.91] Vegan, I don't chat about beef
[01:58.72] Cause I know beef is bull and I'm not a chief

[02:10.59] Good guy but I'm not a saint
[02:12.28] Thought I was coming offstage but I ain't
[02:13.97] Them two girls at the front gonna faint
[02:15.72] Set gets cancelled, still get paid (raggo)
[02:17.47] Everyone's got ideas
[02:19.22] Force them on me, it will end in tears (raggo)
