Bonkaz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What you mean you don't know (Bonkaz)?
Every single one of my flows (Bonkaz)
Every single one of my shows (Bonkaz)
Even in the summer I'm cold (Bonkaz)

Wo, what you mean you don't know (Bonkaz)?
Every single one of my flows (Bonkaz)
Every single one of my shows (Bonkaz)
Even in the summer I'm cold (Bonkaz)

What you mean you don't know (Bonkaz)?
Every single one of my flows (Bonkaz)

Even in the summer I'm cold (Bonkaz)

Wo what you mean you don't know (Bonkaz)?
Every single one of my flows (Bonkaz)
Every single one of my shows (Bonkaz)
Even in the summer I'm cold (Bonkaz)

Mm, mm, mm (Bonkaz)

Grew up on Kano, grew up on Dizzee
More Fire Crew, not Pac and Biggie
Used to nick peds, used to nick MIDIs
Now I do shows and I get busy
Grew up on Channel U, grew up in the city
Used to watch Sincere, now I rock Lizzy
Used to link Jade and Chris in the Mini
And when I saw Stormz he would scream "free Rizzy!"
Used to be road used to be gritty
Woulda left a hole in your head, Free Willy
No SB, no Meek Milly
I was in the ends tryna beat Nicki
Yeah, I used to ride for my friends in a jiffy
No Left-Eye in the ends, just Chilli
Didn't wanna know me, now they're like "yo B
Long time, no see", don't be silly (Bonkaz)

What you mean you don't know (Bonkaz)?
Every single one of my flows (Bonkaz)
Every single one of my shows (Bonkaz)
Even in the summer I'm cold (Bonkaz)

Wo, what you mean you don't know (Bonkaz)?
Every single one of my flows (Bonkaz)
Every single one of my shows (Bonkaz)
Even in the summer I'm cold (Bonkaz)

Every single one of my shows (Bonkaz)
Even in the summer I'm cold (Bonkaz)

Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm (Bonkaz)
Mm, mm, mm (Bonkaz)

Look at all this shit I done on my own
Dead girls? I ain't got none on my phone
Wasteman ting, that ain't none of my bros
Take man's tings, that ain't none of my woes
Stack that P, treat the money like gold
Some wanna be bait, some wanna lie low
Chatty patty couldn't ever come in my zone
No skatty catty couldn't ever come in my home
Wanna give me air, act like they don't care
But I smell the fear like it's under my nose
Them man hate, how come I don't know?
Get under my skin, under my clothes
Lick two shot, have you running like bolt
Got another hit, another one that might go
Didn't wanna know me, now they're like, yo B
Long time, no see, but I'm like no

What you mean you don't know (Bonkaz)?
Every single one of my flows (Bonkaz)
Every single one of my shows (Bonkaz)
Even in the summer I'm cold (Bonkaz)

Wo, what you mean you don't know (Bonkaz)?

Them man hate, how come I don't know?
Some people dislike me, but I don't understand why


Get under my skin, under my clothes
Some people bother me and make me uncomfortable


Lick two shot, have you running like bolt
I can defend myself and don't back down from threats


Got another hit, another one that might go
I have another potential hit song coming up


Didn't wanna know me, now they're like, yo B Long time, no see, but I'm like no
People who ignored me before are trying to act friendly now that I'm successful, but I'm not interested in fake relationships


You know (Bonkaz)
I'm confident that people are aware of who I am and what I'm capable of

My stage name

@mcgrindah8967

Why are so many people hating on this? This is certi.

@HIQ45

coz its not hard grime, he's dropping a mainstream dance tune just like dizzee rascal did with bonkerz, but bonkaz is dropping his a bit early in his career where as when dizzee dropped his he was already recognized as one of the best grime MCs
