Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
MD in them ends
With my boy MJ on the track
I've got 300 ops on the block
I check them out no wait (no wait)
Say less I'm on my way swinging my arm in a figure of eight (of eight)
I look at myself on Snapchat
Then I go to the enemy go straight with no delay (delay)
Don't test me now I'll blow you like a balloon and then you'll pop
Don't touch me now I'll peel of the skin and then I go for the chop
You think you've got me now I run you like Joe Biden then I stop
You think you're like a cow I do the tings on tings and then I swap
Swing my arms like cholo come bolo three chops it's so so (so so)
I went to Sainsbury and then I met my Auntie Coco (coco)
So she can give me Ps so I can swing my arm like Mo Mo (Mo Mo)
Then I go to Ralph so he can give me back my polo
My mother wanted A but I gave her back a B (facts)
Then my mum will see a rap Like Digga D
Then I met my E I'm on a rapping dream
I don't give an f I'm gonna bang your G
I met my Uncle Aitch he said to give me pace
I run down to tesco to see a fat boy, Jay (big boy)
My sister wanted donuts so I just said OK (ok)
I'm taking Ls and M&M because I just wanna play
A woman said the N word now she's getting cleaned
Oh now she's getting lean getting told to run her Ps (ching)
She then be asking Q's, are you the SV2s
Uk be drinking tea, America where the hell are you
I don't care what you're saying but don't say it to me (big man ting)
When we're doing music, you're gonna play the V
To unlock my own temple, I have to get a key (come on)
Then I got a W in Pokemon XYZ (pikachu)
When I'm making drill, I do it with MD (facts)
When I'm making drill, I know I'm finally free
When I do my studies I know I'm getting cleaned
When I'm playing footy with the boys I'm getting 3
I've got 300 ops on the block
I check them out no wait (no wait)
Say less I'm on my way swinging my arm in a figure of eight (of eight)
I look at myself on Snapchat
Look at what I create (create)
Then I go to the enemy go straight with no delay (delay)
Don't test me now I'll blow you like a balloon and then you'll pop
Don't touch me now I'll peel of the skin and then I go for the chop
You think you've got me now I run you like Joe Biden then I stop
You think you're like a cow I do the tings on tings and then I swap

I'm gonna shout out big man ting
In “wtf8” by Shock-M, the opening lines establish the presence and confidence of the artist, who is widely recognized (or “you already know who it is”) and identifies himself as “MD,” suggesting an affiliation with a particular group or neighborhood reflected in the informal vernacular of current urban culture. This assertion of identity is further emphasized by the presence of his collaborator, MJ, indicating a camaraderie that strengthens their artistic output. The subsequent lyrics present a visceral image of street life, where the artist refers to “300 ops on the block,” marking a strong awareness of adversaries. This sense of vigilance and readiness to engage in conflict is illustrated by the action-oriented phrase “swinging my arm in a figure of eight,” symbolizing a sweeping motion possibly connected to combat or asserting dominance. The mention of looking at his reflection on Snapchat signifies a moment of introspection, wondering about the personal legacy he is creating while he prepares to confront his detractors.
As the lyrics progress, the artist deploys imagery that underscores aggression and the consequences of confrontation. Lines such as “I’ll blow you like a balloon and then you’ll pop” depict a bold attitude in matters of conflict, alluding to the fragility of life that can emerge from his aggressive persona, emphasizing this is not merely a game but a high-stakes environment. The metaphorical peeling off of skin before going for “the chop” potentially suggests a brutal and uncensored approach to conflict resolution, showcasing an inner ruthlessness that permeates the art of drill music. The playful references to well-known figures like Joe Biden elevate this aggression with a surreal twist, making comparisons that juxtapose the seriousness of street conflict with the incongruity of government and politics. The lyrical flow engages in clever wordplay and symbolism—likening competition to being akin to cows reveals a condescending disdain towards opposition while situating himself as a formidable force.
The imagery continues as the artist evokes familial connections juxtaposed with the street culture, bringing his Auntie Coco into a narrative where exchanges for financial support are sewed between quotidian adventures—like shopping at Sainsbury. This blend of authenticity in storytelling conveys a multifaceted life, where family ties coexist with a hard lifestyle. The recurring need for resources to maintain his style (“Ps”) indicates a transactional aspect of survival in his society, painted vividly through these personal anecdotes that provide a glimpse into the culture of financial dependency among inner-city youths. The references to “swinging my arm” and “getting cleaned” suggest movement and purification, contrasting the ideals of whimsicality with the stark realities of navigating life's challenges amidst chaos. The lyrics dance between humor and truth, making poignant statements about aspirations and struggles through relatable familial interactions and mundane situations like picking up donuts.
Ultimately, the latter part of the song draws in sharp contrasts among American and British cultures, with mentions of tea and slang engrained in UK identity. It serves to highlight the artist's global awareness while grounding his roots in the local vernacular. The musician’s confidence culminates through a proclamation of being "finally free" when engaging in his craft, equating musical creation with liberation from societal constraints. The allusion to Pokémon underscores a playful nostalgia while connecting to the act of unlocking potential or success—paralleling levels in games to real-life achievements. The closing lines evoke a tense energy, threatening repercussions and drawing parallels to historical and cultural figures, subsequently colorfully affirming his artistry akin to Martin Luther King while painting a picture of unity in struggles, underscoring the theme of empowerment amidst adversity. The intertwining of personal stories, social commentary, and cultural reflections in the lyrics captures the essence of an artist navigating through a gritty existence and asserting his identity within the broad landscape of music and society.
