Watch Your Mouth
Bugzy Malone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know? Watch this
Don't get rude, watch your mouth
You're confused, watch your mouth
I said I'm not in the mood, watch your mouth
Don't watch me fam, watch yourself
I said don't get rude, watch your mouth
I said I'm not in the mood, watch your mouth
Don't watch me fam, watch yourself
I try to stay calm but I keep losing it
And when I blow there's no defusing it
I just got an iPhone 6 and an iPhone Watch
But there's no point in using it
Because I get notifications non-stop
And I get and inbox every two minutes
She told me that I'm big-headed, and that I'll regret it
But that's just confusing it
It's not that I think that I'm sick
It's that I'm moving too quick, I don't even know this chick
Sue me? Now that's the talk of a snitch
I'll smash any emcee into bits
It's like people want to see me switch
I'll make a man scream loud and high-pitched
Bugzy Malone can't run out of bars
Can't run out of garms, can't run out of kicks
Don't get rude, watch your mouth
You're confused, watch your mouth
I said I'm not in the mood, watch your mouth
Don't watch me fam, watch yourself
I said don't get rude, watch your mouth
You're confused, watch your mouth
I said I'm not in the mood, watch your mouth
Don't watch me fam, watch yourself
I just got the North Face with the black bits
I just got a self-portrait, that's sick
I just got a pair of trainers with my name on
All in the same day, that's a hat-trick
Your mum's got money, that's fantastic
I jumped up from the bottom like a gymnastic
I got a million views six times on YouTube
It's about time that I got a blue tick
I'm a soldier but I'm not plastic
This year man are on a different tip
I'm not talking about Kimbo Slice
When I say with gloves on, I will split a man's wig
Come now, let's be realistic
I'm not on Top Gear, but I move like Stig
'Bugz did you hear them man send for ya?'
What? Man can't send for the kid
Don't get rude, watch your mouth
You're confused, watch your mouth
I said I'm not in the mood, watch your mouth
Don't watch me fam, watch yourself
I said don't get rude, watch your mouth
You're confused, watch your mouth
I said I'm not in the mood, watch your mouth
Don't watch me fam, watch yourself
Them man are taking the biscuit
I've got more bars than Snicker and Twix
Your send was weak, so I didn't speak
You're gonna have to bring stones and sticks
You still sign on with a man bag
And a Gucci hat from two double oh six
I wake up in the morning, come out my house
And choose from different whips
That means we're on different ships
You're on the Titanic and that tipped
I'm on a submarine and that means
That I go deeper than the Antarctic
I'm not being funny but your bars aren't great
My bars are fresher than Colgate
Your last EP sounds like a mixtape
And my EP's heavy just like Triple H
Don't get rude, watch your mouth
You're confused, watch your mouth
I said I'm not in the mood, watch your mouth
Don't watch me fam, watch yourself
I said don't get rude, watch your mouth
You're confused, watch your mouth
I said I'm not in the mood, watch your mouth
Don't watch me fam, watch yourself
You're barking up the wrong tree (woof)
Man don't want it with me (woof)
I'm bigger than Zangief (woof)

You're barking up the wrong tree (woof)

Bugzy Malone's "Watch Your Mouth" is a hard-hitting rap track that talks about the need to watch one's language and show respect in interactions with others. The first verse of the song lists different situations where people need to watch their mouth and assert themselves without resorting to rudeness. The second verse discusses the rapper's success and how people are trying to bring him down by making baseless claims that he is arrogant. He, however, asserts that he is only moving forward with his success and does not have time for negativity. The last verse of the song is a punchy, lyrical diss that takes a shot at other rap artists who have antagonized Bugzy.
At its core, "Watch Your Mouth" is a call to respect and professionalism, qualities that are often lost in the current rap culture. Bugzy wants people to be measured in their conduct even as they assert themselves, a lesson that can be directed towards everyone in general. The chorus, which acts as the refrain throughout the song, is a warning to others to be mindful of their words and actions, and to think before they speak.
The song was released in 2015 as part of Bugzy Malone's "Walk With Me" EP and is widely seen as one of the rappers' signature tracks. The song struck a chord with Bugzy's fans and helped catapult him to mainstream success. "Watch Your Mouth" is an excellent display of Bugzy Malone's lyrical talent, his ability to deliver excellent punchlines and the intensity of his delivery.

Waiting for Grime music to blow up everywhere but England... I'm from Canada and love this shit!
Glenn Chinyangarara
@Assassin 9958 no it’s not, grime was born from garage, jungle, dancehall and d&B. People have stated that Grime isn’t hip hop.
CRN
@Assassin 9958 This didn't age well
Road Readiez
@Assassin 9958 Grime is NOT a sub genre of gangsta rap you have no clue what you're talking about... Grime originated from Garage, when So Solid Crew came out and More Fire Crew, Wiley, Kano, Nasty Crew, producers like Alias and Youngster creating Garage like tunes at 140bpm. Not gangsta rap!
Lucas Perkins
It's already blown up in England
