Skepta (Ft. MC Breed Wiley JME Jammer Footsie Bossman Bearman Trim) Lyrics

I noticed when I walked in
I immediately noticed a change in the atmosphere when I entered the room

The room went dark
The mood changed and became sinister

Somebody better call the police
There is a dangerous individual present that requires police intervention

There's a guy here with no heart
There is someone here who is ruthless and devoid of emotions

He said he goes by the name of Skepta
The individual causing concern introduced himself as Skepta

He's on a warpath
He is on a mission to cause trouble or seek revenge

And he said if anybody touches the crown
Skepta warned that anyone who tries to take the top spot will face his wrath

He's gonna tear them apart
He will completely destroy them

A grime MC was telling me
Another MC involved in grime music spoke to me

I kill them and I put them in a cemetery
The other MC boasted about his lyrical ability to completely defeat his opponents

And if anybody thinks they're sick in the head
Anyone who believes they are mentally superior will be proven wrong by Skepta

Then I'm going to rip him to shreds live on the stage like Jeremy
Skepta will publicly humiliate anyone who challenges his abilities, similar to how Jeremy Kyle deals with people on his show

I'm going in for the kill
Skepta is attacking the competition with full force

I wouldn't stop even if I had a punctured wheel
Nothing can stop Skepta from achieving his goals

Got no time for the war with will
Skepta does not want to be involved in minor disputes

Squash that beef like a Forman grill
Skepta wants to settle disputes quickly and peacefully like a George Foreman grill squashes beef

I got a lot of mandem looking out for me
Skepta's crew is protecting him

The ladies, they go wild for me
Women are attracted to Skepta

Back to the front, left to the right
Skepta is commanding the crowd and telling them to move

And everybody up in the balcony
Even those in the highest seats are enjoying the music

You can tell by my accent that I'm straight out of London city
Skepta's accent indicates that he is from London

Like Wiley
Skepta is comparing himself to fellow grime artist Wiley

Like Dizzee
Skepta is comparing himself to fellow grime artist Dizzee Rascal

Like Tinie
Skepta is comparing himself to fellow grime artist Tinie Tempah

Like Trippy
Skepta is comparing himself to fellow grime artist Trippy Turtle

Let's get busy, I was in forth now I'm in fifth
Skepta is ready to work harder than ever before to achieve success

Man wished I was in port looking at a sixth
Some people wish Skepta was unsuccessful but he is not deterred

Instead I'm on tour
Skepta is currently touring and succeeding in his career

I fxck off the stage, encore
Skepta leaves the stage to an encore and excited crowd

Excuse my French, bonjour
Skepta is acknowledging his use of explicit language by apologizing and greeting the crowd in French

Je m'appelle Skepta AKA Daniel Son
Skepta introduces himself and his alternate persona

If I'm on the bill at two
If Skepta is scheduled to perform second

Then the party starts at about half past one
The party is really just beginning when Skepta starts to perform

I'm a grime MC and I won't change,
Skepta is a grime MC and is not changing his style

Doing it again, doing it my own way
Skepta is continuing to make music in his own unique way

And I might recycle the bar
Skepta may reuse some of his lyrics

Because my material is too good to throw away
Skepta believes his lyrics are of high quality and not to be wasted

They tried to stop me but I'm doing it again
Despite facing obstacles, Skepta is still determined to succeed

Skepta, yeah I'm doing it again
Skepta is proclaiming his success

Boy Better Know yeah I'm doing it again
Skepta's crew is also succeeding

All because of the grime bars I'm spitting
Skepta's success is due to his lyrics in grime music

MC's are talking about quitting
Other MCs are giving up because they cannot match Skepta's talents

25 mobiles ringing, majors bidding
Skepta's career is taking off with many music labels interested in working with him

Boy Better Know chase ringing
Skepta and his crew are constantly being contacted and receiving offers

I've walked with the best
Skepta has collaborated with some of the most successful artists in the industry

2 fingers up to the west
Skepta is defying mainstream western music trends and doing things his own way

Big S tattooed on my chest
Skepta is showing his loyalty to his crew by having their logo tattooed on his chest

Microphone champion no contest
Skepta is the best when it comes to battling other MCs on stage

A lot of man never though I would get to say my piece
Many people thought Skepta would not be successful but he has proven them wrong

Can't believe the singles I release
Even Skepta is surprised by how well his music is received by fans

I climbed up the chart at light speed
Skepta's success came quickly and unexpectedly

And I'm made of myrrh I forget about Sajid
Skepta is so successful that he forgets about people who did not believe in him, like Sajid, a negative influence from his past

If it costs to be the boss
Skepta understands that being in charge requires spending money and making sacrifices

I pay full price
Skepta is willing to pay the full amount if necessary

And I can show you my receipt
Skepta has proof that he pays his dues

Scars on my body from wars in the street
Skepta has physical reminders of the challenges he faced growing up and becoming successful

Pain in my left arm
Skepta is experiencing physical pain due to his work and struggles

And I can't sleep
Skepta is so focused on his music career that it is affecting his ability to rest

So I'm sitting up praying for success to come a little sooner
Skepta is hoping to achieve even more success faster than anticipated

I never suck up to no-one
Skepta does not kiss up to anyone for personal gain

I'm not a hoover
Skepta is not being used by anyone to clean up their messes or do their dirty work

I come to fxck up the game like a sore looser
Skepta is determined to shake up the music industry and make people pay attention

The way I turn heads
Skepta's talent and success results in people paying attention and taking note of him

You would have thought that this was a reverse parking manoeuvre
Skepta's ability to turn heads is unexpected and surprising

And when you're listening to Boy Better Know,
When you are listening to Skepta's crew,

You're listening to the sound of the future
You are hearing what the future of music will be like

I keep my circle tight
Skepta has a small and loyal group of friends and collaborators

And the question everyone's asking is, "Who are you? "
Despite Skepta's success, there are still people who do not know who he is

So I gotta put these squares in the right place like a Rubiks cube
Skepta is going to make sure his haters and doubters are put in their rightful place

I'm a solider, what have you been through?
Skepta is a tough and experienced individual and challenges others to prove themselves

You and your stupid crew
Skepta is insulting anyone who challenges him and their crew

Better remember when you're talking to a chart topper
Skepta reminds those who doubt him that he has achieved chart-topping success

You're talking to the lord of the mic part 2
Skepta has earned the title of 'lord of the mic' for his superior rapping abilities
