I Spy

[Skepta:]
You See the 4 best crews in the game I'm in dem, if you don't like me do something then, 10 minute screw faces I ain't in them, I want paper dibi dibi wages I ent them, My crew put 5 A? 20 notes in a roulette mechine and spin dem, anybody get rude al clench ma fist and chin dem, Forget a mash, Forget a clash, their trash al bin dem I don't wanna lyrical swing I will physicly swing dem, that's why I haven't clashed anybody since long son den some win seng, If I hear mans say my name al ring them, if I hear any skeng talk on ma 33 10 al find out where they are and link dem, Headlock powerdrive and pin dem.

More, more, more money more paper more, more money more paper I wanna see more dough then a baker run tings like ninja man and cartelli in jamaica, promoters pay me nuff paper, you know me man, the only man who could ever give me a bill is a waiter, Skepta heavy, heavy like pacer, I like the way things are going now I gotta start collecting the dough in, I used to only get bookings in the uk now me and my crews boarding the 747 bowing, I gotta get that dollar get that euro get that yen come back to england fit that again, I repeat fit that again!

[Jammer:]
I Work Hard everyday, I won't stop grime until everythings kosher, Until I got the house on the hill that looks like the one on the holiday brochure, I want power but it can't be solar, I'v always wanted to be a high roller, When I was young I had to get nikey I couldn't get gola, I had name brands when I was on ma stroller, I'm a big man now so wanna bow tie and a bowler, Forget P's like diddy I wanna make p's just like coca cola, For the big house in Angola, and the big Range Rover, And the P's legit so it realy don't matter if police wanna come an try pull man over.

In The Country

[Chorus: Skepta]
But you just wanna stay in your house, your very big house in the country.
You don't wanna come out your house, your very big house in the country.
Wiley you just wanna stay in your house, your very big house in the country.
You don't wanna come out your house, your very big house in the country.

[Verse 1: Skepta]
Yo zip it up. How can you be a king when you roll through anywhere. Wiley you don't roll through anywhere. I go anywhere blood I'm never scared, you said you rep E.3 but you're never there.
So lemme merk this guy it's all in your name fam I don't need to try. I take away the W, I take away the Y fix up the other letters all you do is just lie.
{PULLLLLL UPPPPP}
Wiley you don't roll through anywhere. I go anywhere blood I'm never scared, you said you rep E.3 but you're never there.
So lemme merk this guy it's all in your name fam I don't need to try. I take away the W, I take away the Y fix up the other letters all you do is just lie.
Chat shit talking like Barnets a joke I got some Barnet guys moving keys of coke, got some niggers on Dollies Valley that ain't scared to poke. Christmas eve running riot outside the Hadley Oaks.
Madness, Wiley you need to chill ask anyone around me if I keep it real. And God knows if I ever made a mil I'll still be doing shows in my hood for a bill.

[Chorus: Skepta]
But you just wanna stay in your house, your very big house in the country.
You don't wanna come out your house, your very big house in the country.
Wiley you just wanna stay in your house, your very big house in the country.
You don't wanna come out your house, your very big house in the country.

[Verse 2: Skepta]
Listen yo, Wiley I swear you're Boy Better Know but I can't see your face when we do a show. Last time you came London was ages ago now you need a tom-tom just to get around Bow.
You can't chat about Barnet zip it up, pass me the north-side flag lemme liff it up. Wiley you dropped yours fam pick it up musta been gassed up when you wrote zip it up.
Back to reality you're living with the aliens I don't know what made you think it was moist TV. It's the greaziest block in the former radius.
Blood I got the voice that everybody listens to when I'm talking and nobodys gonna zip it up when you walk in. You own 2 cars you own a bike but you're still home alone like Macaulay Culkin,

[Chorus: Skepta]
But you just wanna stay in your house, your very big house in the country.
You don't wanna come out your house, your very big house in the country.
Wiley you just wanna stay in your house, your very big house in the country.
You don't wanna come out your house, your very big house in the country.

You just wanna stay in your house, you don't wanna come out your house.
Fam you're scared like a mouse in your very big house in the country.
You just wanna stay, Wiley you just wanna stay.
You just wanna stay in your house in your very big house in the country.

King Of Grime

Skepta - Microphone Champion
This ain't no subliminal, it's a states match? King of grime

Some mellaz don't like me cause I say I'm the king of grime
But time after time I show man I will never let no man gets the program
Over and over again I prove that any radioshow any any stage show man
Put me up against gymmics sound effects flow man don't think that you cold
Cause you're not ready for the snow man, you don't want drama trust me I can get hot like lava. So I'm braking the world government, when I find out if I have been chattin to osama
Skepta the K I N G man start panicking when I MC yeh J Ables but his it's not murder INC.

WOW, I'm the king of grime and I will be for a very long time
Cause I go to the rave gettin rewind and the second line never sounded like the first line.
WOW, I'm the king of grime and I will be for a very long time
Cause I go to the rave gettin rewind and the second line never sounded like the first line.

But don't I don't get thing out this ping pong dog
But you can call me MC of all time
Better still call me the king of grime
Better still call me licence to kill
Promoters are booking you
Man for a bill
I get a g's till I ain't had one due
I get to the rave
Leaving the first five minutes
I already get one wheel
Then I get two wheels it's a bicycle
Then I get three wheels it's a tricycle
Then I get four wheels it's a car, you can't even get a unicycle
It's a par so you better stop spittin
Forget a freestyle, man it's prewritten
You listenin to the best spitter in britain

WOW, I'm the king of grime and I will be for a very long time
Cause I go to the rave gettin rewind and the second line never sounded like the first line.
WOW, I'm the king of grime and I will be for a very long time
Cause I go to the rave gettin rewind and the second line never sounded like the first line.

So which one of you lot wanna wanna be in war
Are you not ready for
I kill eight men I wanna bury more
We can do it in a sidewonder
Eskimo or rince
I am the king you're no evil a prince
I told him to put a little gum on his tongs to test it
But he put the whole avil, I think that's why he's been lean ever since
I think that's why his night shows is at shambles
Don't wear shorts if you got dry ankles
Don't take pics if u got dry lips
I thought that you knew that
You can't do that.
Like trynna brodcast it on chips.
I've been killing MC's
Before I started watching ninja man
Youtube this
I'm ready for the war like bloods and crips

WOW, I'm the king of grime and I will be for a very long time
Cause I go to the rave gettin rewind and the second line never sounded like the first line.
WOW, I'm the king of grime and I will be for a very long time

Konnichiwa

Lookin' for me?
Konnichiwa
Lookin' for me?
Konnichiwa
Lookin' for me?
Konnichiwa
Konnichiwa

By now you should know I hate waitin'
I got no patience
Right now man are tryna get out the matrix
Far from the agents
Tryna stay far from the devil in the red dress
Far from the pagans
Only time man are gonna see me again
Is if I share location

Cause when you are talkin' 'bout me online
I was down in the basement
Ex girl said that I'm never at home
So she found a replacement
Said, "You was on the road
But I never seen you when I was out on the pavement"
The police wanna set me up
They wanna take me down to the station
But I can't complain
Soon as I get bored, I jump on the plane
Nothin' ain't changed
Boy better know a man went to the BRITs on a train
Think it's a game
Man shutdown Wireless, then I walked home in the rain
Then we took it back to Africa
Ask Wizkid, I can't explain
Never knew that I was gonna pop
Pop like 5th of November
Tell the President we ain't forgot
Tell the Prime Minister we still remember
Man don't care what colour or gender
Nobody's votin' for your corrupted agenda
Fix up, look sharp when I enter
And talk with respect when you discuss me
A lot of these MCs disgust me
Real talk, you ain't best MC in the country
And if you don't like it then f**k me
Not literally, but f**k me
How many more MCs do I kill today?
Realize there's nobody above me
I killed every song that I touched
And I turned into MC Hammer, they can't touch me
I be killin' it, over 10 years on the road
That's a permanent mark, they can't smudge me
Teachers used to diss me
Now when I touch the road I make history
Tried to assassinate me, but they missed me
You could never blacklist me
Nah, last year man lost a yute and my heart turned cold
Dem man lost Lukey and my heart just froze
Cause when the cards get closed
I'm like really what's the use of these cars and clothes?
If man don't wanna switch up, I'ma go hard on my own

Cause by now you should know I hate waitin'
I got no patience
Right now man are tryna get out the matrix
Far from the agents
Tryna stay far from the devil in the red dress
Far from the pagans
Only time man are gonna see me again
Is if I share location

Man

[Pre-Hook]
I don't know why man's callin' me family all of a sudden
Like hmm, my mum don't know your mum
Stop telling man you're my cousin
I got day ones and I got new ones
No fake ones, trust no one
It's Boy Better Know 'til I die
Tryna run up in the bank like Bonnie and Clyde
Cause

[Hook]
Man get money with the gang
Man get girls with the gang
Man eat food with the gang
Man talk slang to the feds
Can't work out what I just said to a man
Told me you was a big fan but the first thing you said when you saw me is "Can I get a pic for the gram?"
I was like "Nah, sorry man"
I only socialize with the crew and the gang

[Verse 1]
Woah, guess who's back
Came a long way from sittin' in the flats
Came a long way from when whites never used to mix with blacks
Now all my white niggas and my black mates, we got the game on smash
I used to rate your page on MySpace but you never stayed on track
Upset cause your wife is a fan, she done with a little boy
Now she wants to be with a man
Told my accountant "Do me a transfer, cause I wanna buy some land"
You and I have got different plans
Real mad man, I might go Saint Ann's
No triple A pass, no wristbands
You are not mandem, you are not gang

[Skit]
Tracksuit Mafia, Boy Better Know
My ones, my team
Meridian, bad blocks
London boys, active boys
You get me?

[Hook]
Man get money with the gang
Man get girls with the gang
Man eat food with the gang
Man talk slang to the feds
Can't work out what I just said to a man
Told me you was a big fan but the first thing you said when you saw me is "Can I get a pic for the gram?"
I was like "Nah, sorry man"
I only socialize with the crew and the gang

[Verse 2]
They wanna see me drown
Tryna hold the mandem down
Cause I shutdown Shoreditch car park
And I got bars like Camden Town
Out there tryna survive on the streets
Tryin' not to get killed by the police
And I be schoolin' MC's
Nobody leaves 'til half-past-three
This year I'mma teach them a lesson
Tell Grace don't reply to those emails
Nah, I don't wanna do no sessions
It's like them man have got an obsession with my style of expression
But in public, never hear my name mentioned
Catch them at the nightclub entrance
Always seekin' attention
But I be inside, tryna get burst
Lookin' all cool like Herc
Dressed like I just come from P.E
You're dressed like you just come from church
Better do your research
You don't wanna hear my verse come after your verse
MCs act brand new cause they got a little money in their purse
So you had a good solo career?
Had a few big songs over the years?
Back then you was a real Top Boy
But right now fam, nobody cares
Walked in the club, everybody's like
"Who is he? Why is he walkin' around with security?"
You know the postcode when you're talkin' road
Better know that I speak that fluently

[Pre-Hook]
I don't know why man's callin' me family all of a sudden
Like hmm, my mum don't know your mum
Stop telling man you're my cousin
I got day ones and I got new ones
No fake ones, trust no one
It's Boy Better Know 'til I die
Tryna run up in the bank like Bonnie and Clyde
Cause

[Hook]
Man get money with the gang
Man get girls with the gang
Man eat food with the gang
Man talk slang to the feds
Can't work out what I just said to a man
Told me you was a big fan but the first thing you said when you saw me is "Can I get a pic for the gram?"
I was like "Nah, sorry man"
I only socialize with the crew and the gang

No Security

[Intro: Malcolm X]
No, I don't worry
I tell you
I'm a man who believes that I died 20 years ago
And I live like a man who is dead already
I have no fear whatsoever of anybody or anything

[Hook]
We don't need no security
Stones in my jewellery, what can they do to me?
You murder me, I will live for eternity
If I survive then I'm comin' for you personally
You heard of me
We don't need no security
Stones in my jewellery, what can they do to me?
You murder me, I will live for eternity
If I survive then I'm comin' for you personally

[Verse 1]
Down the f**king drain
Fake celebrities, I will not entertain
No similarities, definitely not the same
Them insecurities, got jealousy on the brain
Dare to go to war with me, then my people bring pain
And I can do it story mode, beginner or insane
Shottys for the back blocks or a spinner for the mains
You're lookin' at your reflection, you hate what you became
That selfish energy, a cranberry stain
Sitting inside my house with a candle and a flame
Working voodoo on you pussies trying to throw faeces on my name
I saw the bigger picture, put 'em all in my frame
To see they're very weak, these guys are super lame
I see you pushing weights, oh, now you're doing gains?
But before the creatine, you was tucking in all your chains
See them at the fashion shows, never see them on the train
I keep the voodoo with me, I suggest you do the same

[Hook]
We don't need no security
Stones in my jewellery, what can they do to me?
You murder me, I will live for eternity
If I survive then I'm comin' for you personally
You heard of me
We don't need no security
Stones in my jewellery, what can they do to me?
You murder me, I will live for eternity
If I survive then I'm comin' for you personally

[Verse 2]
They can see that I'm the one
So they hate
They don't wanna see me shut it down
But I'm on the case
My enemies, they congregate
And they go on dates
Talk about me over food and wine
The f**king snakes
Phoned the paparazzi on yourselves
Man, I thought you were famous
Told them exactly where to find you
Tryna get in the papers
I went out to the village
And I said my prayers
Now I have to wear my shades
Don't wanna scare the neighbours
That's why I see no competition
You might see me whizzing by
Yeah, man, I'm on a mission
And I just put the fisheye
On my tunnel vision
See no evil, hear no evil
Man, I refuse to listen
There he goes
The X-rated
At the awards, intoxicated
The most nominated
And the dress code is understated
Tell Mum I made it
Tell my dad I'll be OK
None of these fools are like your baby boy
In any way, greaze

[Hook]
We don't need no security
Stones in my jewellery, what can they do to me?
You murder me, I will live for eternity
If I survive then I'm comin' for you personally
You heard of me
We don't need no security
Stones in my jewellery, what can they do to me?
You murder me, I will live for eternity
If I survive then I'm comin' for you personally, greaze

[Halloween Outro]
Happy Halloween, you pagans
It's your worst f**king nightmare

You're dead now
Boy Better Know, laigon 616

Section, street team purge out now
"Back From The Dead" out now

Big up my A$AP family
Vlone thugs, Yams forever
Ally Pally December 2nd

Nobody Made Me

See I used to think like you
So to diss you wouldn't be fair
But at the same time if I listen to what you tell me I wouldn't be here
Shit turns to gold when I touch it
So me looking at youtube comments is counter-productive
Cos none of that criticism is constructive
So I switch off the mac like f*** this
You're never gonna see me switchin'
Another twitter account with no pic, 10 followers, following everybody he's dissing
I found myself now I'm missing
They love the grime flow I'm spitting
I took it to the chart now they're listening
I can't wait till I'm on tour I'm itchin'
Make some noise
Somebody tell Will Smith I am Legend
What dya know about looking in the fridge and all you can see is a white light like heaven
When I was young I used to beg mum for some money to buy a birthday present
And now parents want to book me for a sweet 16
I'm a birthday present

[Chorus]
They didn't want to rate me
But all my supporters came together and saved me
Tears in my eyes
Head high, pointing to the sky
Screaming nobody made me, nobody made me

Put your hands in the air
For the grime MC of the year
Some say I came out of nowhere
Little d'they know it's been a four year nightmare
Running around with no runner
Had to pay for my own radio plugger
Watch'd everybody eating
While I sat there with no bread, no butter
I told myself I gotta do this
Whatever the weather I get through this
Long as I keep making the hits
My distributors gotta move those units
So I never gave up hoping, naa
Forget crying and sulking
They said I was too grimey
Now me and P. Diddy on the iChat laughing and joking
Make some noise
And I hope all you A and R's heard that
I got so much more that I wanna say
But I'm looking foward I cant turn back
Remember it's boy better know all year from october to september
We built this ourselves so the only man that can ever knock me down is Skepta

[Chorus]
They didn't want to rate me
But all my supporters came together and saved me
Tears in my eyes
Head high, pointing to the sky
Screaming nobody made me, nobody made me

Oh My Gosh

[JME:] Oh my days Oh my gosh [x8]

[Verse 1:]
Here we go again
I got locked up by the po po again
I've been in here since half past ten
It's half past two now when's all this gonna end
I only had one phonecall so I used it
To call my best friend
I told him get all the stuff out the house
Before the po po come searching the prem
The fed keeps looking at me through the flap
Blad, go check somebody else
He took my shoelaces n took my belt
Look we both know there's no way I can hang myself
One minute I saw blue lights
The next minute I'm getting read my rights
Officer the cuffs are way too tight
Your taking the piss out my life
It's a hypppeee

[Chorus:]
When I woke up this morning
I never thought I'd be sitting in a cell
On a blue mat no blanket yawning
Hoping that I get bail
Mum said that I gotta change my ways
But I'm a typical man wanna be a boss
But then I got shift like oh my days
Now I'm sitting in the cell like oh my gosh

[JME:] Oh my days Oh my gosh [x8]

[Verse 2:]
Na no I don't wanna cup of tea
Just press R-E-C-O-R-D
My name's Joe all I just wanna say N-O
C-O double M E-N-T
Only thing I know about is me
Chat about next man I can't hear or see
Never talk on behalf of my co - d
And I don't want a quiet word with a PC
I don't wanna cigarette no I don't smoke
And I definatly don't wanna bust no joke
I know blacks but I don't know brown
N I don't like fizzy drinks I don't know about no coke
One minute I saw blue lights
The next minute I'm getting read my rights
Officer the cuffs are way too tight
Your taking the piss out my life
It's a hypppeee

[Chorus]

Over The Top 2

[Skepta:]
All my old school teachers wanna beg friends with joseph
I get doh, bread, HOVIS
Me and my paper stick together like sticha and otis
Girl better know boy better know this
Brought an R6 got chased by boy dem and got shift
Then I got a fine and 6 month driving ban so I sold it
Am on the tottenham team like lennon
Meridan walking one seven
You mandem turnt bad in 07
WAIT
Can you smell that
What's that chesse or lemon
Wrap that up like a christmas present
Pablo pass me the ting I will shoot from anywere like david beckham

[Chrous:]
You must be smoking the rocks
I open you up
When am holding the glock
I'll take you over the top [x2]

[Bossman:]
I make paper
Diss me I will put your face in the paper
Ask skeps ask hater
They'll tell you bossman his a bader
I carry more weight than a weighter
In my hooded stone island blazer
Don't tell me about skeng
Cause on my gun I carry lazer
Am hard when I spray
These mans could'ntgive half what I say
If I should you what the skeng done to his head
The judge woulda gave me life that day
Can't stop now it's too late
Am infamous face is bait
Hold tight junior, shout out drake
One gun merdian estate

[Chrous:]
You must be smoking the rocks
I open you up
When am holding the glock
I'll take you over the top [x2]

[Big H:]
Back to the jungle back to my roots
Tell pablo strap up the zoots
Call up the soilders, bring out the troops
Just like stryder tings in boots
Man all the handstand, jump through hoops
I don't wanna hear about, abandon groups
18 shots that will take off Who?
Hold tight the youngers big up the youts
Can't ask me why I look vexed
It's not wretch, it's not ghetts
It's not Jay-Z or DMX
Spray out the place and ask whos nexts
Send for your armour put on your vest
That don't might I will step in your chest
18 shots will leave man in a mess
H corparation, You Know the rest

[Chrous:]
You must be smoking the rocks
I open you up
When am holding the glock
I'll take you over the top [x2]

Reflecting

I would hate me too
If I had the same myspace views as you
If I saw Skepta go from sitting on the wall
To sitting in a white V6 Coop
I think I'm the best and I call it competitve confidence
Not Vanity
It's not my fault them man have got a childish mentality
And they don't know how to make a tune for the mainstream radio road man
And the stageshow at the same time
Watch what too many man and sunglasses at night do in two double o nine
Let me tell you why I'm the king of grime
You write a hundred million different flows
I write that classical line to last me my whole life time

[Chorus]

I wouldn't like me either
If I had a flow like yours that left no space for a breather
Then Skepta comes around
With a flow that breaks down
More times then a P reg Vauxhall Tiva
Too book Skepta ain't getting no cheaper
But promoters still want me to feature
Your sitting at home telling yourself the shit weed your smoking is a creeper
It's not creeping
Stop lying to yourself fam you might as well have bought Sisha
I'm too real nobody realer
Too deep nobody deeper
Flow like gus will nigger street sweeper

[Chorus]

Wouldn't even come out their yard
About victim
You think I rap way too fast and your thinking this grime thing ain't the in ting
But you know what I hear that killer
But don't mistake me for that nigger
I get mad when I think this ting's got me spitting with people like Boya and Saskilla
Look right
It's not what it looks like
I stay with gang live a good life
I used to shot grams on a push bike
But I wern't a brand name like suk knight
I took time I kept a low profile I had the food that make that cats go wild
Before music I had a booming line
Blad
