You know
Hold tight Zdot on the production
Watch this
I could do to the top what I've done to the bottom, everybody's in danger
I got dissed off a pop star, and I went sick, turned into the black Power Ranger
I done numbers on iTunes that had people thinking I was signed to a major
You're looking at the grime scene re-arranger
You're looking at the wasteman relegator
I got sent for, then I sent back
And they should have called mine a career devastator
I know there's a lot of hype in the grime scene right now and you're looking at the creator
That's because I produce so much methane gas that man call me the gas chamber
I make people hashtag #RIP and I seen the grime scene wake up
Couple man took shots but I say nizzy, cause they're clowns with no make up
Them man are playing 5-a side, I'm in the Champions league, no FA Cup
And I'm like Bane the way I popped up and pulled Batman's cape off
You're looking at a villain, villain
Man come round I'll spin 'em, spin 'em
Dj pull up the riddem, riddem
On a 0161, Manny on the map ting, man don't play
Villain, villain
Man come round I'll spin 'em, spin 'em
Dj pull up the riddem, riddem
On a 0161, Manny on the map ting, man don't play
I'ma do to the top what I've done to the bottom
Way bigger than Kim Kardashian's bottom
Somebody please get on the phone to Dot Rotten
Cause the beat on my JDZ will never be forgotten
I got a million views and I also got some brilliant views
It was like a plane went into the twin towers again when I done my Fire in the Booth
I set fire to the building, fire to the room
Fire to my new blue jeans, fire to my shoes
My man done a Tutankhamen
'Cause he got wrapped up and left lying in a tomb
Now I got people on the street thinking "Is that Bugzy Malone from YouTube?"
See when I say "0161, Manny on the map", everybody get's gassed in school
If you're in school, stressed out, get gassed
If you're on the road, blacked out, get gassed
If you hear this when you're out and you're wavy
Then you better jump up and get gassed
Cause I, I, get gassed
I make the DJ pull that back
Gun fingers in the air, brap brap!
0161, Manny on the map
You're looking at a villain, villain
Man come round I'll spin 'em, spin 'em
Dj pull up the riddem, riddem
On a 0161, Manny on the map ting, man don't play
Villain, villain
Man come round I'll spin 'em, spin 'em
Dj pull up the riddem, riddem

If you're in school, stressed out, get gassed
If you're on the road, blacked out, get gassed

Then you better jump up and get gassed
Cause I, I, get gassed
I make the DJ pull that back
Gun fingers in the air, brap brap!
