Stormzy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My AP cost thirty-one, millimeters forty-one
Stick him up with a stick-stick, he drew the shorter one
You can't short me one, in the club with the shortest one
Lighty, the shortest one, on my mind, Jorja one
Crocodile bag I bought her one, vegan ting, I slaughter one
Freaks, I got more than one, fuck, daddy and daughter one (one)
Tory puttin' in labor, dissed that Jeremy Corbin one
Awkward one, raised me there, wait, hare, tortoise one
I need a ting, thirty plus, Blackberry and Walkman 1s
Look I left my phone and my babies, silent mode
My guys on ridin' mode, zombies, survival mode
He's got a new vest? Man, pop that shield, no microphone
I'll ride for bro, he's next to I, like type and O
The score, 5-0, six to one, for the kicks I love
Twelve-fifty-four like six to one
Babe, can't look at my mentions, that's Area 51
I'm so close to my pension, my left wrist is sixty-one
My left wrist retired
My apprentice tryna get Alan Sugar
There's no way I can
Jordan 4s or Jordan 1s, Rolexes, got more than one
My AP cost thirty-one, millimeters forty-one
Stick him up with a stick-stick, he drew the shorter one
You can't short me one, in the club with the shortest one
Lighty, the shortest one, on my mind, Jorja one
Crocodile bag I bought her one, vegan ting, I slaughter one
Freaks, I got more than one, fuck, daddy and daughter one (one)
Tory puttin' in labor, dissed that Jeremy Corbin one
(Woo, woo)
Overrated one, most hated one
Slid 'round after his birthday, gave him a happy belated one
Burned that bridge, cremated one, ooh, ooh, bailiff won
Got away with murder, this that Viola Davis one
They stop and stare, watch rare, clear, stainless one
Debate this one, hatin' niggas gonna hate this one
I live life and I hide my
Fly to Dubai with the guys, 'cause the weather's been shit
I can wear a different kettle every day of the month from a different
Rollies, got twenty-one, I been lit since twenty-one
Girl, I need that gently one, that Savage and Fenty one
Dave's got the new Aston Martin plug, could you send me one?
He said "No need to be rentin' one"
Big Flex is inventin' one, cold, cold
My bros don't chat, we just wear all-black on a blend in one
Man are talkin' war, don't know 'bout war 'til you end in one
The machine got sweets, not the vending one
Needed a hit, could have penned him one, 'cause you're pendin' one
She wanna go to the cinema, so we just walk downstairs (walk downstairs)
The mortgage cleared, we've overtaken all our peers (all our peers)
After all these years, disrespect is all I hear
I'm Pep, I ball with flair
Off the set, they storm like, off the set, they storm like Piers
That's what I call mornin' tears
Them man are talkin' there, but it's cool 'cause
I got my tings on, more than good anytime that I walk my hood
I got the Jordan 4s and 6s, all I need now is Jordyn Woods
Don't get caught for pus, don't die for nash
We slide and crash, sixteen, don't write and clash
Sixteen, don't battlerap
She got the WAP and a wap, what are you thinkin'?
Mans on simpin', I'll buy her a car like a pair of

The lyrics of "Clash" by Stormzy and Dave depict their lifestyle of luxury and wealth. The song starts with Stormzy and Dave boasting about their collection of expensive items like Jordan sneakers, a Rolex watch, and AP watch worth thirty-one thousand. The use of numerals forty-one and thirty-one represent the millimeters of the watches. In the second line of the song, Stormzy also boasts of his short stick and hints towards any challenge to his class could potentially face his wrath. As the song proceeds, Dave enters with a commentary on British politics and socialism, mentioning the names of Labour Party Leader Jeremy Corbyn and Prime Minister Boris Johnson. The song's content also contains vulgar language depicting women and sexual acts. The reference to Jordan Woods, Kylie Jenner's ex-best friend, and the WAP song by Cardi B is also used in the lyrics.
The choice of words in the song "Clash" by Stormzy and Dave is quite intriguing. In their materialistic references, they use numerical values such as millimeters (41, 31), which explains the precision of their luxury material.
