Toothache
Jaykae Lyrics

'Cause man are like Jaykae, where have you been?
People are asking where I’ve been since I’ve been out of the public eye

‘Cause I was the best man when D2 got married
I was the best man at D2’s wedding

The pallbearer when Depz got carried
I was a pallbearer at Depz’s funeral

I lost count of times I got ballied
I’ve been bullied so many times I can’t remember

And risked my freedom for pricks, (and then what?)
I risked going to jail for people who weren’t worth it

Yeah I was inside, me & Remtrex got padded
I’ve been to jail and Remtrex and I were cellmates

Told him strap bars, don't stay strallied
I told him to focus on writing bars and not to waste time on things that don’t matter

All of the hype on road's invalid
The hype on the streets means nothing in the grand scheme of things

Don't risk your freedom for this
Don’t risk going to jail for street cred

Now you're back inside looking at a big ride
Now you’re back in jail thinking about what you’ve lost by getting arrested

So holla me fam if you need anything
Call me if you need anything

I know how it goes 'cause I've been on the wing
I know what it’s like because I’ve been in jail before

These bitches want to go to the club
These women want to party and have fun

Tell 'em go back home
Tell them to go home and clean their mess

Go clean up your sink
Clean up your house and get your life together

If you think Jaykae ain't saying anything
If you think I’m not speaking my mind

Walk in the yard, go straight to the fridge
Go straight to the fridge and grab something to drink

Built that shit, now I'm breaking the bridge
I built something up and now I’m ready to break it down

Wanna come Small Heath? Do a straight to the bridge
If you want to come to Small Heath, just go straight to the bridge

So leap in, man are taking the piss
Join in, people are messing around

Cut all the bullshit, straight to the biz
Let’s get down to business and cut out the nonsense

I was the guy that stood up and took charge when Vades had a brain hemorrhage
I took control when Vades had a medical emergency

I was the guy that jumped out the car, and ran down the guy that was stabbing up Sox
I chased down a guy who was attacking Sox

I was the guy at Sidewinder who got stabbed up and everybody watched
I was a victim of violence and people just stood by and watched

Now, everybody watch
Now everyone is paying attention

Everybody get down, everybody drop
Everyone needs to get down and take cover

Seen MCs get friendly with the cops
I’ve seen rappers befriend the police

Yo, when will it stop?
When will the violence and corruption come to an end?

Nah, fuck that, I'll put an end to the lot
I’ll do whatever it takes to stop it

If you want me, then you better pay me dough
If you want my services, you need to pay me

This Jaykae's, not Jay Z's flow
My flow is unique to me, not copied from Jay Z

Used to shot work 'cause it made me dough
I used to sell drugs because it made me money

That's a little man ting like a baby-grow
That type of behavior is immature

Phoned up the boys in jail, in the background I can hear me on the radio
I talked to my friends in jail while my music played on the radio in the background

I was the guy who told Solja that you got to let KD go
I advised Solja to move on from KD

Now, KD's gone (R.I.P)
Now KD has passed away

Ay yo I feel that shit for his Nan and his Mum
I feel sorry for KD’s family

My man wanted to be like us, so he put on his shoes and we brang him along
KD wanted to be part of our group, so we let him join us

I was in jail when my Grandma died
I was in jail when my grandmother passed away

Ain't gonna lie blood, man rah cried
I’m not going to lie, I cried

Brumtown's mine I've been doing this time
I’m from Birmingham and it’s my city

For the past 10 years, been around our sides
I’ve been active in the city for the past decade

It's real shit, and now it's realer shit
It’s always been real, but now it’s even more real

I want a M4 straight from the dealership
I want to buy a brand new BMW M4 from the dealership

I wanna rep for my city like Leshurr did
I want to represent Birmingham like Lady Leshurr did

I best watch those guys that I'm meeting with
I need to be careful about the people I associate with

Just baked a cake, they want a piece of it
I accomplished something and now people want to take credit for it

But my problems are the least of it
My personal issues are not important in the grand scheme of things

Yo, what's a leader without leadership?
What good is a leader without leading by example?

Had to break-fast like Weetabix, mad
I had to break my fast like eating a bowl of quick-to-prepare Weetabix cereal

Invading alone yeah, you can hold that
I can take on anything by myself, so don’t worry about me

I can get my own back off my own back
I don’t need anyone’s help to get revenge

You can phone me but I won't phone back
You can call me, but I won’t necessarily call you back

You don't owe me, and I don't owe jack
We don’t owe anything to each other

And it's cold out 'ere, best mind you don't lack
It’s cold outside, so make sure you’re prepared

No picture when you get a throw back
Memories aren’t always pretty when looking back on them

Ask man, "Who's got a problem with that?"
Ask whoever has a problem with what I’m saying

It's as simple as that
It’s straightforward and uncomplicated

I used to wake up and not know what I'll do for the day
I used to be unsure about how to spend my day

'Till I had a yout' on the way
Until I found out I was going to be a father

I need a mansion now, when are you going to pay?
I want a mansion and I need to make more money to afford it

No better get down, lettin' loose when I spray
You better take cover when I start rapping

I'm a boss with lyrics, a boss with digits
I’m skilled at rapping and making money

I'm the big boss and I'll squash these midgets
I’m the ultimate leader and I’ll overpower those who oppose me

No filters, family, this ain't gimmicks
I keep it real and what I do is genuine

I might bring the sticks, but this ain't Quidditch
I might bring weapons, but life isn’t a game like Quidditch

I'm quite quick to flip it, rib cage with it
I’m prone to react violently when pushed too far

We've got problems, it ain't finished
We have ongoing problems that we need to address

Now, I make bread on a Hovis ting
Now I’m making money and I’m successful

I'm best of both worlds, I'm mixed race init
I come from two different heritages, both of which I’m proud

Back then, I never had a pot to piss in
Back then, I was poor and couldn’t afford basic necessities

Karma's a bitch, watch what you're wishin'
Bad things happen to those who deserve it, so be careful what you wish for

Inspiration became competition
The people who inspired me became my competition

I keep it real, so you’ve got to listen to me
I’m honest and truthful, so you should pay attention to what I’m saying
