Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm Murking Murking Murking Murking Thanks

Hold tight all the man dem in the place right now that wanna just skank
Hold tight all the guys that think I got big overnight like Tom Hanks
If you don't like JME then you can eternally underground plank
Your whole booking fee probably won't fill up my petrol tank
To book me nowadays cost more than all the champagne that you drank
In your life
I get withdrawal symptoms from barclays bank
I'm Murking Murking Murking

Pour me some apple juice cause man don't drink no champag-nee
You'll see me rolling with a likkle short man like jack dee
Big up all the goons who bought 96 Fuckries for 79p
But I make G R I M E for the L O V to the E
If I'm on set with OG's or Boy Better Know then it's on top
The only reason them man are not skunking is cause they're in shock
My flows more dangerous than a bottle with a broke top
I'm Murking Murking Murking

If you don't know what grime is then you must be 86
I sell music without a pop feature or naked chicks
I break the rules
I'll wake up a sleepwalker with a fly kick
Everybody knows I came from the bottom but I'm not shit
Yea sure you got a shank I hear that but I don't care about beef
Everybody know I won't run from it from hank cause I'm not a chief
Frisko come true and he take man out like wisdom teeth
I'm Murking Murking Murking

Get brave and run up your mouth get box like Tempz' hair
Chat shit about Tempa T and get box like Temps was here
KO
I'll pay for the body to get clear
Dun know he's got the shotgun there
And I got the Santander
I spend bags and bills
And I take my accountant bags of bills
You likkle wasteman spending bills on fags and pills
Gears of war 3 I pick up the grenades and frag then kill
I'm Murking Murking Murking

They say you only use 10% of your brain well I use 6
If I was to use 10% man would start levitating shit
So if you don't like my music I will send you into orbit
Tony blair will be £50 overdrawn before I quit
Even when I work with an acoustic artist I can never be whack
Everybody totally loves mine and Ed Sheerans track
Maybe cause ginger is an anagram of black
I'm Murking Murking Murking

Murking Murking Murking Thanks
Hold tight all the man dem in the place right now that wanna just skank
Hold tight all the man dem in the place right now that wanna just skank




Hold tight all the ladies in the place right now with a swag leopard tiger dead £2 dress Swag!
