Ghetts feat. Giggs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He ain't even second in command
Tell a man, tell another man
Tell the next man, tell 'em wha gwan
I'm going on like I ain't ever read a Psalm
Ready or not, weapon in my
Palm, setting off alarms
So road that I'm never in my yard
I've got a new ting, rip an enemy apart
Just setting apart, never's on my mast
Devil in my path
Telling me to go and give the metal a massage
Load it, feel it (bang)
Hold it, squeeze it (GASSED)
These MCs in the grime scene
They ain't never done what they spit 'bout
(LIARS) if I had a pound for every
Time that they said gun, i'd be rich now
(LIARS) i tell a man, tell another
Man, tell the next man
Tell everybody with a big mouth
I ain't one of these likkle fuckboys
Pay me respect - no discount
Draw my something, make the lead fly
And erase all my enemies
For tryna write me off, yes don, vest on
Who told you I ruled out your headside?
D-D-D-D-D-D-D-dead guy
God forbid you make it to the hospital
Cause I'll be the one by the bedside
Tell my man I'm a general
He ain't even second in command
Tell a man, tell another man
Tell the next man, tell 'em wha gwan
I'm going on like I ain't ever read a Psalm
Ready or not, weapon in my
Palm, setting off alarms
So road that I'm never in my yard
Tell my man I'm a general
He ain't even second in command
Tell a man, tell another man
Tell the next man, tell 'em wha gwan
I'm going on like I ain't ever read a Psalm
Ready or not, weapon in my
Palm, setting off alarms
So road that I'm never in my yard
Yeah, these man talking that shit with
Man about murder and mystery (LIARS)
Man ain't up on that strip
Got manaman purchasing 50s
I was on a ban, now I'm off a ban
So the C-class man had to purchase it quickly
I'm a man that'll put another man down under
Burst if a man wanna wig me
Man might turn up with this one
Turn up with that man (GASSED)
Very important
(why?) , man might turn up with wristband
Back out the Big Mac, Filet-O-Fish man
Run up on Giggsy? One wallop and wig man
I was chilling in the bing
With a block of noodles
Now I'm 'bout waking niggas up, nigga
Cock-a doodle doo
Bitches looking for me, wanna cop a Google
Man are pimping out here
Man'll prostitute you
First they rolling with you
Then they snitching on you
Then the prosecution wanna prosecute you
So now that jury's gotta drop it to you
Not guilty, ooh
Tell my man I'm a general
He ain't even second in command
Tell a man, tell another man
Tell the next man, tell 'em wha gwan
I'm going on like I ain't ever read a Psalm
Ready or not, weapon in my
Palm, setting off alarms
So road that I'm never in my yard
Tell my man I'm a general
He ain't even second in command
Tell a man, tell another man
Tell the next man, tell 'em wha gwan
I'm going on like I ain't ever read a Psalm
Ready or not, weapon in my
Palm, setting off alarms
So road that I'm never in my yard

Constantly pushing the boundaries of progression in the underground scene. Its great that an artist can face the controversy that comes with not sticking to the constraints of the grime/underground and commercial scene. Smashing it.
