Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell a man no (No way)
We run the show (All day)
We're gonna blow (Ok)
Ain't no joke (I ain't no joke)
I bust the net
I bust the net
You hit the post (You hit the post)
Man thought he had this game on lock but I turned him ghost (Gone)
Tell a man no (No way)
We run the show (All day)
We're gonna blow (Ok)
Ain't no joke (I ain't no joke)
I bust the net

Man thought he had this game on lock but I turned him ghost (Gone)

Na na nana na tell a man no
Which way shall a man go?
Yea work 'til the jail on road
But trust me I meant dough
Betta move our ear on the low, I said move our ear on the low
Now they don't wanna see me blow I just sold out my headline show
No, tell a gyal yes
Come 'round if you want to get pressed
Come like get some make them undress, and now her tops on my desk
Now everything's bless, try my best
But you know more money brings more stress
Now I don't wanna do feature tune right now 'cause your life's a mess
Yea mans on the road, you're on the door
Brompton man are outta control
Being the main man takes it's toll
But you hit the wood work and I'll get the go
Yeah mans on the road, gloves and the pole
Are you mad I won't sell my soul
Being the main man takes it's toll
But you hit the wood work and I'll get the go
Tell a man no

Yea tell a man no
We run the show
Wait for the green light before you go
Don't move slow, get on your nose
Don't make sense then it don't make dough
Don't say hello, man say "yo"
Got them shot in a week, the week we grow
When I'm in Nottingham mans in Watford
When I'm in London mans in Bow
We make them say bow
Trust me the whole clique on it
No more gears, tiptronic
Yea Jaykae's gettin' iconic
Little JD, Hypnotiq
It's hittin' too lick, don't vomit
Pour another drink I don't want it
And why do you think I'm sick like this? I blame Heartless Crew and So Sonic
Now I stay all, ready the graveyard shift
Gun metal grey R6
Your swag and your DJ can't mix
That car runnin' on rims
The fans keep sayin' that I'm the hottest
Probably 'cause I don't slip
But I'm just and MC from Brompton, now they're calling me a great artist
Yea mans on the road, you're on the door
Brompton man are outta control
Being the main man takes it's toll
But you hit the wood work and I'll get the go
Yeah mans on the road, gloves and the pole
Are you mad I won't sell my soul
Being the main man takes it's toll
But you hit the wood work and I'll get the go
Tell a man no
