Eyes On Me
Skepta Lyrics

How they gonna lift my skirt? (How?)
How are they going to expose my vulnerabilities or secrets?

When I never wear no dress
Because I don't conform to societal expectations or norms.

Eyes on me 'cause the way this designer looking on me got your girl impressed
People are paying attention to me because my expensive fashion choices impress them and attract them.

Stylish G, I make one phone call and the gang turn up like it's Merky's Fest
I have a great sense of style and influence, and with just a phone call, my crew appears in full force like a lively festival.

They can't diss us, boy, they get crushed in a Rizla
They can't disrespect us because we are skilled at dismantling their arguments or attempts to belittle us.

Stretch it and burnin', yes
We stretch our success and accomplishments to their limits, constantly pushing ourselves and embracing the pressure.

They got their eyes on me but my eyes on the girl in the tight up skirt (mhmm)
While people are paying attention to me, I am focused on pursuing and seducing an attractive girl in a form-fitting outfit.

Bare songs about ice and racks
Many songs focus on material possessions like expensive jewelry and stacks of money.

Them boy there live out their wifey's purse (broke)
Those guys depend on their significant others' finances because they are financially struggling.

You don't wanna see gang pull up
You don't want to witness our crew arriving on the scene.

The cars dem full up, your guys disperse (bow, bow)
Our cars are filled with our crew members, while your group scatters and retreats in fear when we arrive.

And we ain't tryna take no L's
We are not willing to accept any losses or defeats.

Any funny business then we rise up first (ice)
If anyone engages in suspicious or dangerous activities, we will respond proactively and assert our dominance.

Came with a what? Came with a who?
Who did you come with? Who are your associates or companions?

Came with the hood like a Canada Goose gang)
I arrived with my loyal crew, representing our neighborhood, just like a group of individuals wearing Canada Goose jackets.

I dunno who gassed them yutes, I stay in the boy's T like cranberry juice
I don't know who hyped them up, but I remain unfazed and composed, just like chilled cranberry juice in a boy's T-shirt.

Big man, you don't wanna get murked in your Beamer
As a warning to overconfident individuals, you don't want to be killed in your luxury car.

Meet the Grime Reaper
Encounter the personification of the dark and gritty nature of the Grime music scene.

It's thirty-eight degrees outside, but the streets still cold like a freezer
Despite the warm weather, the streets remain unforgiving and harsh, similar to a freezing environment.

Gotta stay close to the heater
I must remain vigilant and protected, always staying near sources of strength and power.

Ex-girl found out that I slept with it in the bed
My former girlfriend discovered that I carried a weapon with me while we were intimate.

But she couldn't call me a cheater (sex)
Even though I may have deceived her in some ways, she couldn't accuse me of infidelity.

Gotta stay with it
I must remain committed and dedicated to my pursuit of success and survival in this harsh environment.

The streets hear that you're getting money, they will spread news like the cleaner (brr)
Once the streets become aware of your financial success, they will rapidly circulate that information, much like a janitor swiftly cleaning the floor.

Try slander my name in the paper (huh?)
If you attempt to defame my reputation publicly through the media, what will be your response?

Now I'm on the front cover in the Fader
Currently, I am featured prominently on the magazine cover of Fader, a notable music publication.

It's an oxymoron how I speak so bluntly
It's contradictory how I can express myself in a straightforward and honest manner.

Still I'm as sharp as a razor
Nevertheless, my wit and intelligence remain exceptionally keen and astute.

Who's that boy in the new Bottega?
Who is that individual wearing the latest fashionable clothing from the brand Bottega Veneta?

Sipping out a, no chaser (sex)
I am enjoying a drink without any additional mixers or dilution, symbolically representing my unfiltered lifestyle.

Bought a new crib and I got no neighbors
I purchased a new house or apartment and intentionally selected a location without nearby residents.

Independent, but I'm still so major (rich)
Despite being independent and not reliant on major labels, I have achieved significant wealth and success.

I was in New York tryna make ends meet outside the bodega (Skeppy)
I was in New York, hustling and working hard to cover my expenses, often near the convenience store known as a bodega.

I went from trap boy to wholesaler
I transitioned from being involved in illegal activities, specifically selling drugs, to becoming a legitimate distributor of goods.

Tables turned and I'm the rotator (ha)
The tables have turned, and now I am the one in control and able to dictate the course of events.

What you telling me?
What are you trying to communicate or convey to me?

I made it so easy to like me
I have effortlessly won the affection and admiration of others.

Still they wanna be my enemy (huh?)
Yet, there are still individuals who desire to oppose or harm me, despite my likability.

You know the fame comes with the jealousy (trust)
It's well-known that fame attracts envy and resentment from others.

I'm an African giant, course she fucks with me, that's simple science
Since I am an influential and successful figure in the African music scene, it's obvious that she is attracted to me.

One night with me and she feeling the chemistry
After spending one evening with me, she experiences a strong and undeniable connection or attraction.

She love the way I move especially
She adores my elegant and confident demeanor, particularly.

No competition, ain't no one ahead of me (greaze)
There is no one who can rival or surpass me, as I am the best in my field.

Stop the comparison, shit's embarrassing
Cease making comparisons because it's embarrassing to see how others pale in comparison to me.

I'm a top soldier in the garrison (boaw-boaw)
I am a dominant and highly respected figure within the community or industry (garrison).

Room full of gold like the Vatican
My surroundings are filled with opulence and wealth, comparable to the grandeur of the Vatican's treasure rooms.

Diamond chain, frozen like a mannequin (ice)
I wear a luxurious diamond necklace that remains motionless and solid, resembling a display mannequin.

I could put 'em in a hearse with a verse, they already know what's happening (smoke)
Through my powerful and impactful lyrics, I have the ability to defeat or destroy my opponents, and they are fully aware of the consequences.

Or we could do magic tricks, my guy wave the stick
Alternatively, we can perform illusions or tricks, where my associate wields a firearm (stick).

Watch them boy start vanishing (brr)
Observe how those individuals quickly disappear or retreat in fear.
