Work
Headie One feat. K Trap Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
coming to the Niz, I just watch that twerk
Like Pebbles get him up close, and I watch that jerk
My life's like a movie, I didn't get to sit down and watch that first
What's rap when I'm live in the T, but watch me make that work
My young boy in the bando and he only jumped to watch the work
That's why me I'm just doing up M-way,
then I hit the gym and I spot the work
Now I do this ting live in the
streets, all you can do is watch and learn
I was fresh home '015, I nearly ran out of Ps
How many times did I hit the M-way,
twice in a day with a quarter of each
Man can't tell me 'bout expenses, I had weeks that I trapped for free
Right now I'm in studio B, and I got a quarter to a stack on me
I spent the whole month in a tracksuit, tryna double this Re
Old school days I was way to stubborn,
hitting opp blocks with my pockets on E
Do it for OFB, come a long way from popping those Ts
Right now I'm way too pluggy, I got all of these sockets on me
Doing up dates with bae, pocket rocket on me
Rolling deep with a brand new freeze,
that's basically last week's profit on me
These skengs don't come for free, I gotta stay woke
Cah they want me in Winchey again, I ain't too young to go Coldingley
Nokia ring all day, it don't take no time just to flip this pack
Get him up close, hands on a toast you can watch it crash
How much times did we jog on wass, tryna turn fools to packs and dash
6 in the spin congrats, see a man live and crash
See a man live and crash no hassle
I put flake in my pot and a whole load of songs on music platforms
I get paid from both, get it done with rolls on rolls
That's D or C that's with me
4 door truck was risky, 30 shots and a blicky
Tryna leave everything flames
When you talk 'bout Trap, better mention K
Still can't put a face to the name and the girls still calling me bae
See the glitter that's madge, how you calling it straight?
Last night had a half of bird, but I got corner today
I been up and down the M, how the fiends show for me?
All the times I couldn't get me a runner, it was me that went O for me
This Bad B didn't wanna know, now she low for me
Now she talking Italian cuisines, when we gonna go to eat?
I would have no release,
if they knew all the drugs I've ever had on me
I got the table looking like a bird's eye view of Glastonbury
Morning shift, Costa Coffee and I ain't even had no sleep
I had two trap phones just tweaking, that's before I even turnt 18
I used to wish for a skeng and it
didn't take long to fulfil that dream
I got different sweets that don't contain gelatine
Anything shh get shh, still gotta shh anything that's green
I leave the crime scene Messi, and I don't mean the Argentine
I got my Nokia coming like these Bad Bs
coming to the Niz, I just watch that twerk
Like Pebbles get him up close, and I watch that jerk
My life's like a movie, I didn't get to sit down and watch that first
What's rap when I'm live in the T, but watch me make that work
My young boy in the bando and he only jumped to watch the work
That's why me I'm just doing up M-way,
then I hit the gym and I spot the work
I was on the wing had time go slow and now my watch don't work
Now I do this ting live in the
streets, all you can do is watch and learn
