Lewisham McDeez
Wanna war me?
Lewisham McDeez
Wanna clash me?
Lewisham McDeez
You will get merked
And again, Lewisham McDeez
Wanna war me?
Lewisham McDeez
Wanna clash me?
Lewisham McDeez
You will get merked
Lewisham McDeez
Like, yo, I come from the road
All of my family come from the road
Brothers, sisters, come from the road
Uncles, aunties, come from the road
It'll be long if I come to your road
It'll be long if you come to my road
Prem, that's on my road
Fam, it's mad on the road
Oy mate, your a bit of Mcdee Salad
On your go I'll lick off the cannon
Now you know anybody get's it
Head tops splattered
Like next round you're gonna get battered
You don't want a war you're gonna get clattered
I spat the reload the bar when it mattered
Levels them high, high like a ladder
This flow's a stonker, everybody's spazzing
You don't wanna clash, get brash, best sit back
Not big, cos you got a tache and a six-pack
Get bun like burgers when you flip that
Lyrically you'll get yam like Big Mac
Nah, I don't wanna really wanna get vexed
Like when you gotta ask boss man "Where my chips at?" (Oi Boss)
Lewisham McDs clash, don't chit chat
Get your heads back's what I'm throwing my drink at
Edgy
You don't wanna war me
Watch your tongue, you don't wanna get chiefed
Face get left ugly and gory
I'll dash a burger into your cheek
Ketchup to your head top and ice cream
Don't chat, don't act up, do not speak
Forget roads, just MC
You man are all chicken like KFC
WWF, WWE, Kurt Angle, Stone Cold Steve
You don't know about DDP, it's me, it's me, it's DDP
Shut up, hit with the DDT
Put you on the ground for the 1, 2, 3
What do you mean? What do you mean?
I was watching wrestling before Sky Sports 3
I'm not the guy to buy from McDeez
Wanna clash me buck me at McDeez
It's the hot spot, but it's not acne
Man bring the beef like burger and cheese
Man get bun with no cheese
When you're ready, you're ready, I'm at McDeez
I'm a spin'em and kill' em and put them down quickly
Roll with The Square cause they're my team
