Try diss me or my family tree, alright we can go dad for a dad
Oi skepta why you
Merkin’ so many MCs?
Cos they don’t know about Greaze
I was really in the field with the G’s
We were testin’ out waps on trees
My first wap came in a boxin’ glove
Bought my second one for some weed and Ps
Why Lie? tell me the reason please
That ain’t gonna impress me ‘cause

Young SK i was goin’ insane
To go radio, i had to walk in the rain
Tell me what you know about surfin’ the train
No logical thinkin’ had stress on the brain
One time I had to merk eight MCs
Bet any money they won’t test me again
Before i did fit pics
I’ve been a lyricist
Had to make ‘em put some respect on my name
Oi skepta why you
Merkin’ so many MCs?
That was the word on the curb
I don’t bend so how can i get curved?
Private jet i was flying’ with your bird
Every other lyric you talkin’ about gun man
You ain’t got straps man stop lyin’, you’re a nerd
Said you was a bad bwoy blud say word
I went to your ends, that's not what i heard
Dem way there i wear my own garms
Man see me on road and want arms
I still gotta step in my 1s, i’m so calm
You talkin’ like you know the drillers
Your not Carns
Tell them shut ya mouth
Theres no qualms

Talkin’ ‘bout crashin’ out

Real recognise real dem boys do me no harm
The nurse that brought me
Will recognise me when i'm forty
Like I’m so real
From australia all the way to brazil
I got fans sayin’ i’m the goat still
Don’t come to my show if you’re
Tryna be cool and chill
Cah your drink might spill
End up in a mosh pit
Hands in your grill
Flow so sick you might
Need a nyquil
Real recognise real recognise real

You’re not a bad bwoy
And i’ma die on that hill

But i see the bigger picture
