You had so much talk online, saw you on the road, you ain't half as active
Said your amm' come loud like bass but it's silent like Charlie Chaplin
My striker's eighteen with a hightop, this kid's looking like Marcus Rashford
Got so many, so many enemies, got so many man on my case
I mean I love when old tings message me, but try know we can't never be mates
Right now life's just lovely, I wish you could've seen that girl's face
When she jumped on Twitter to send, then she saw me on a track with

I got ten people that I love, look I don't want a a hundred friends
And this girl wants to stay for the night, I can't, I gotta be gone by ten
Don't think that I ain't on road 'cause I ain't stuck on ends
This statement is looking like a barcode, tell a man I want a hundred M's

This statement is looking like a barcode, tell a man I want a hundred M's

Mandem dream of a MOBO
Don't you want Oscars and Grammy's?
I came in the game with a plan but I got patience like Dr. Miami
Dead riding out, I'm sat in a cabbie one runner that was looking like a tramp in an alley
If man wants war, tell a man sure, like Luke I'm sitting in the back with a bally
.44 Swammy, see G's to the left can't take them for Jordan or Sammy
If you wanna be a big boy for your dogs my team take you from your Dons like Alli
Army of two or Kane and Lynch, when I'm on road I ride with a shooter
Known from Natwest to Santander, said you wanna pree us like I'm driving an Uber

I got ten people that I love, look I don't want a a hundred friends
And this girl wants to stay for the night, I can't, I gotta be gone by ten
And don't think that I ain't on road 'cause I ain't stuck on ends
