Air
London Cafe del Mar 2002 - vol. 1 Lyrics

Where I'm from, it's scary
In my hometown, the environment is dangerous and unsettling

Niggas scary, they don't pull up
People are afraid and hesitant to confront or take action

Them dudes only slide round rarely
Those guys seldom make their presence known or engage in risky activities

And shoot at the sky, we gotta look up
They aimlessly shoot into the air, forcing us to be wary of falling bullets

Bitches like, "Do you follow back on the 'Gram?"
Women ask if I reciprocate their social media following

Bitch, barely, I'm stuck up
No, I rarely follow back because I have an arrogant attitude

Sayin' I've changed cause I got a bit of money
Accusing me of experiencing a personality change simply because I have some wealth

Bitch, shut the fuck up
Stop talking and expressing your baseless opinions

I'm a young black king that knows his worth
I am a confident and self-assured young black man who understands my value

I don't do hookups
I don't engage in casual sexual encounters

Me and bro in the kitchen, Pyrex whippin', cook up
My friend and I are cooking drugs in the kitchen using Pyrex equipment

He said, "Put the fire on the low" but I put it on high
He instructs me to reduce the heat, but I intentionally increase it to intensify the process

Mi did fuck up
I made a mistake

Lock off
End the activity or operation

Before I knew about Air BnB
Prior to my awareness of the Airbnb service

I was at the reception in Premier Inn (OT)
I used to stay at Premier Inn and visit their reception area (outside territory)

Well, nah, if the gyal that I'm with's got ID
Well, no, if the girl I'm with has identification

I'm more time sendin' her in
I often let her go in alone

Blue plastic bag full of munchies
Carrying a bag filled with snacks

Couple brown Rizzlas, scale and cling
A few brown rolling papers, weighing scale, and cling film

Turn room 106 to a bando
Converting room 106 into a drug operation spot

Head down at the desk when man's checkin' in
Avoiding attention by keeping my head down at the reception desk

And it's approachin' twelve
And the time is nearly midnight

One-legged Sam gets disability allowance
Sam, who has a missing leg, receives government assistance for disabled individuals

No deals after midnight
No transactions or business dealings can occur after midnight

Can make five bills by one if I link him and Howard
I can earn five hundred pounds by connecting him (someone) with Howard (another person)

Has your phone ever rang all day?
Has your phone ever rung continuously throughout the day?

Go in the bathroom and it rings in the shower
Enter the bathroom and the phone continues to ring even in the shower

Two missed calls from a phone box
Two missed calls originating from a public telephone booth

Ain't had a sale in twenty-two hours
I haven't made a drug transaction in the past twenty-two hours

Must have been bored if you've ever seen heads out
You must have been really bored if you have witnessed people coming out

Me I bring the Louis V store to the penthouse
I personally bring luxury Louis Vuitton items to the penthouse

I was angry when shh got cheffed down
I was furious when they were brutally attacked or killed

Left them in the corner shop by the food stretched out
I abandoned them in the corner shop, motionless by the food

T house didn't do textiles, I sent text out
The house didn't provide textile materials, so I sent a text message

She didn't wanna know me way back when
She wasn't interested in me a long time ago

But now she cooks me breakfast with her breast out
But now she prepares breakfast for me while exposing her breasts

Summer time with the football boots
During the summertime, wearing football boots

No shin pads or socks, all the legs out
Without having shin guards or socks, showing off our bare legs

Now feds at the scene, they're askin' questions
Now the police are present and interrogating individuals

Like what's all the mess 'bout?
Asking about the chaotic situation or commotion

Seven pebs that I gave to Fiona for the bando to get rent out
I provided seven ten-pound notes to Fiona to be used as rent payment in the drug operation spot

I was posted in alley to the trenches
I was positioned in the dark alleys near dangerous areas

Now I go uptown to bring the whole trench out
Now I travel to the upscale area to gather and mobilize the whole gang

I just need to get a parkin' permit
I simply need to obtain a permit for parking

Cheeks my parcel, then I'm in the town center
Inspecting my package in private, then heading to the city center

Who's that with the big issue magazine?
Who is the person holding the Big Issue magazine (a publication sold by homeless individuals)?

Leanin' like he just come off a bender
Leaning or slouching as if he recently ended a drinking or drug binge

My favorite time of the year in the trap game
My preferred period in the drug dealing business

Is the last week in December
It is the final week of December

'Cah everyone goes back for Christmas
Because everyone returns home for Christmas

I just stay trappin' 'til the new year enter
I continue selling drugs until the new year begins

This deuce holds seven, this trey holds five
This two-pound coin can hold seven grams, while this three-pound coin can hold five grams

And this .9 holds ten plus like six more
And this nine-millimeter gun can hold ten rounds plus an additional six rounds

I left my phone cranked, got bare missed calls
I left my phone on loud, resulting in numerous missed calls

Now my manager's pissed, thought I was in court
Now my manager is angry, thinking I was attending a court hearing

I can't speak on what happened last time
I cannot discuss or disclose what occurred previously

It's a in-house ting, man might get upset
It is an internal matter, and individuals might become agitated or angered

I rent a room in this bando premises
I lease a room in this dilapidated building used for criminal activities

Landlord don't know the cats dem sublet
The landlord is unaware that other people are subletting rooms

You ever have to hop that window bank in the garden?
Have you ever had to jump over the window ledge in the garden?

That's multitaskin'
That is performing multiple tasks simultaneously

Feds at the door, I'm on my second strike
Police are at the door, and I already have one more chance before facing serious consequences

So you know I'm goin' straight to the can like sardines
I will be going directly to prison, packed closely together like sardines in a can

New spot, I'm tryna make it right
In a different location, I am attempting to make things right

It can all go left in a heartbeat
Everything can take a turn for the worse very quickly

I still got my jogger bottoms filled up with twenties
I still have my sweatpants filled with twenty-pound notes

And my rack filled up with Charlie
And my waist bag filled with cocaine

It's nothin' but smoke that we got for them
All we have for them is deception or false promises

Must have run up a thirty in Scottish Glens
Probably accumulated thirty thousand pounds in the Scottish countryside

That's 'til he seen me in the Daily Mail
That's until he saw me featured in the Daily Mail (newspaper)

And he went and called me by my government
And he proceeded to address me by my real name

My youngboy try go up for a week
My young associate attempted to go on a crime spree for a week

Now they got him in a monkey stretch
Now they have arrested him and placed him in a prison transport van

Took the grub Aberdeen, so we could charge twelve for a Z
Transported the drugs to Aberdeen, allowing us to sell a specific quantity for twelve pounds

Ask Fletch
Inquire with Fletch (a person) for more information

I ain't waitin' in town for the drop
I am not waiting in the city for the delivery of a package

Or payin' five bills to these new resellers
Or paying five hundred pounds to these newly emerged sellers

But if you got a size 9 in stock
However, if you have a size 9 available for purchase

Man will cop and shop with these new plate tenners
I will buy and spend these new ten-pound notes

Two-fifth for these Jordan 1s
Two-fifths of an ounce for these pair of Jordan 1 sneakers

And a .44 long in this Gucci sweater
And a .44 caliber gun concealed in this Gucci sweater

Badman, she likes when I undress her
She enjoys it when I undress her, as I am a tough and intimidating man

And put my machine on her makeup dresser
And place my firearm on her makeup dressing table

I gotta glove up when I touch that presser
I must wear gloves when operating or handling the press machine

Bro said he can't mix money and violence
My friend said he cannot combine monetary gain with acts of violence

Because that just make your name too pepper
Because that unnecessarily increases the risk of gaining attention or notoriety

Flip me a likkles and brown, not brandy
Pass me a little bit of money and cannabis, not cognac

Get me a shotgun that's lanky
Acquire a long and slender shotgun for me

You know me, I just get too angry
You know me, I easily become too enraged or infuriated

And fill the ding-dong with the two-two gennas
And load the firearm with .22 caliber ammunition
