Driving a German whip
Yo! (Driving a German whip)
Driving a German whip
If you see man driving a German whip
Blacked out window, leaning back
See man driving a German whip
I don't kick ball, do I look like a balla?
See man driving a German whip
Who told you I move like pauper?
See man driving a german whip
If you see man driving a german whip
Blacked out window, leaning back
See man driving a german whip
Look like a balla, P's and dat
I don't kick ball, do I look like a balla?
See man driving a german whip
Who told you I move like pauper?
See man driving a german whip
Who told you I serve and flip?
Ride my bike on a burnham dip
Man talk but I'm gonna burn 'em quick
Mad man nutty on a sherman tip
Dem man wanna mess with my aura
Someone said that's bang out of order
Can't make 6 foot man feel smaller
Treat dem man like private caller
And I don't wanna box man trust me
Who told you that I got rusty?
Trawl for the WD40
Punch up big man, I'll like 40
Big boy buy big ting 650
Moving along on the road too quickly
Though big dogs in this biz
I never see no man chasing frisbees
If you see man driving a German whip
Blacked out window, leaning back
See man driving a German whip
Look like a balla, P's and dat
I don't kick ball, do I look like a balla?
See man driving a german whip
Who told you I move like pauper?
See man driving a German whip
When I big over there
Dem man don't live over there
Man will take off ya wig over there
Don't care who you're with over there
When mana-mans hungry, mana-man eat
Mana-mans tired, mana-man sleep
Mana-man talking, mana-man speak
They link girls that mana-man beat
Don't be on a hero ting
Keep it moving earphones in
Lickle man, man had to chief up him
Punch up scratchy, cheif up trim
When mana-mans driving, mana-man speed
Mana-mans smoking mana-mans weed
Give mana-man space, let mana-man breathe
When I arrive, mana-man leave
If you see man driving a German whip
Blacked out window, leaning back
See man driving a German whip
Look like a balla, P's and dat
I don't kick ball, do I look like a balla?
See man driving a German whip
Who told you I move like pauper?
See man driving a German whip
Bad boy krep, German whip
Not white Vans, or white vans
When boy dem try ask for my name
I say oldskool Meridian man
Guys better show respect
If they see man pullin up in a TT (trust!)
Guys better show respect
If they see man fillin up in BP (trust!)
20 Pound of Diesel mate
If I fill up my tank it'll make me late
I ain't gonna lie
I see you man on foot on the high road moving bait
Man's just try'na stack paper
Don't watch what man's earning
Man paid over 30 bags sterling
German whip but I ain't in Berlin
If you see man driving a German whip
Blacked out window, leaning back
See man driving a German whip
Look like a balla, P's and dat
I don't kick ball, do I look like a balla?
See man driving a German whip

who told you I swerve and skid
block you in cos I'm that stupid
park on double yellow lines
don't lock the van cos I ain't got time
traffic warden wanna mess with my ora
ticket machine was out of order
"only be 5 minutes" I told her
"OK" she said but I was longer
you don't wanna box man trust me
left in the rain so your box gets rusty
boss man phones and I say "it's not me"
ain't got time to go back there sorry
so what if you're not there
throw it over the fence cos I don't care
paid per delivery that's not fair
kick your parcels everywhere
