Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’m tellin Dearfach to send location
Cause you gotta take every chance u Can to make it
Up early on the grind yea I grind for the Wages
I petite the boys who lack Motivation
Yo I grew up on rhymes
Grew up with thoughts of doing it Big time
But who woulda thought I’d be Standing here upon the mic
Give a shout to the boys onetime Hold tight
I’m a do this thing 'til I croak it
I don’t drip in the place
I come and I soak it
When I spit you can Taste what the Fuck I’m smokin'
Happy guy full a smiles but really I Ain’t joking
I got jazzy from the heart and the Chest
Spotify that and they say that I’m Blessed
No 10 spots here this is bars at the Sesh
Don’t no why some heads wanna Come pardon with this
Yo I don’t sell drugs but I wrap bars
See them with there double clicks
No pall mall
I’m all for the buzz like a fast car
But grinding on the bud got me half Arsed
Yo I don’t sell drugs but I wrap bars
See them with there double clicks
No pall mall
I’m all for the buzz like a fast car
But grinding on the bud got me half Arsed
I’m independent just like the paper
I’ll spit bars till The man is famous
They don’t want this smoke no Vapour
I came across as the rap scene savior
Get your head noddin' head boppin' Like a manger
Stay in my own lane cause I’m pacing
And little do they no my name is Jason
Spit of the top and they say I’m Amazing
Now I’m in the zone ready to snap like Capone
When I come tru on that Bugzy Malone
But I’m coming with a million flows
It makes ye wiggle yer toes
They double clicking the posts
Now that’s ghost
Bro let them all chat shit
Come schitzo on the mic with a Madness
I’m known to body careers and cause Tragics
Got tricks up my sleeve that’s no Magic
I'm gonna round up the team and I’ll Run
Been around the block mY was life Was spun
I took wrong roads and I took wrong Turns
Now I have a man skepta no Bullet From a gun
They wanna fuck with me well to bad
Put a smile on your face no sad
Stay sharp in the mind fuck the gram
Bally up kid don’t be pushing prams
Yo I don’t sell drugs but I wrap bars
See them with there double clicks
No pall mall
I’m all for the buzz like a fast car
But grinding on the bud got me half Arsed
Yo I don’t sell drugs but I wrap bars
See them with there double clicks
No pall mall
I’m all for the buzz like a fast car
But grinding on the bud got me half Arsed
