Issues
Wretch 32 Avelino Loick Essien & Hurricane Hunt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Doing this for Poppy and Buckhead
Be the first nigga that I
Saw without a budget
Little sister saying fuck it
My little brudda saying fuck it
They'd rather leave their fate
In front of judges
Didn't I teach you how to
Be the next stunners?
Didn't I teach you how to
Kill the whole summer?
Didn't you see me turn words into numbers?
Tasmanian devils tryna be the Roadrunners
But I love 'em got my mum moving stubborn
I guess being black and
White's their true colours
'Cause where I'm from
Most of our parents are redundant
Small family
I had to pair up both my cousins
If the shoe fit's, you've gotta wear 'em
'til there's bunions
Cuh you ain't been to London 'til
You've been inside the dungeon yeah

Yeah crazy how my drive drive me crazy
My home was mental when my
Cousin tried to kill me
Now he's in a mental home, kind of crazy
Like my bird, man, she wants a baby
She want a BM, I want a Mercedes
Either way, she's whipped to a '90s baby
Wavy who the fuck wants issues?
My nigga never missing your nigga
It never miss you who the fuck want pistols?
Shoot for stars, shoot the bloodclart missile
Yeah, I swear down
My nigga what's mine was yours
It's theirs now we came so far
Our thrones are just chairs now
I'm firing shots at the bar
I've got bare rounds and I'm fucking wavy
F-f-f-fucking wavy

None of these niggas are on my level
I'm tryna flood the Rollie
With the presidential bezel
This is my come-up, this is my come-up
Keep it so dungeon, oh, I am so London
This is a one-of-one, oh, there is no other
You're only fucking a nigga 'cause
He's bought you some Balmain
Looking for the money and
The women, nigga, yeah
We want the whole thing
I've been OT on my uno
I've been spending this money all on my uno
Getting money, how the fuck would you know?
I've been OT on my uno

I was OT on my Jones
In the 15 with me and my bros
Top down in the winter, too grown
Move rocks, got bands
That's a rolling stone
True say, man have always been about
I don't ever stop
The gyal you running down
Type of gyal I be sending shop
Down the lab to buy, when I buss
She be getting off
You can have a thousand Gs with
You and still get a box
Yeah, and that's some new ish
You niggas sitting on the block
Don't ever do ish
She says the beat mad, and that my music
She said I changed
I said I don't wanna lose it
'Cause nowadays we switch side for
Colours like a Rubik's
In the booth or the trap, man, I do bit's
I take the piss, plus I never give two shit's
Pass me the glove, I don't
Care if the shoe fit's, hurra

None of these niggas are on my level
I'm tryna flood the Rollie
With the presidential bezel
This is my come-up, this is my come-up
Keep it so dungeon, oh, I am so London
This is a one-of-one, oh, there is no other
You're only fucking a nigga 'cause
He's bought you some Balmain
Looking for the money and
The women, nigga, yeah
We want the whole thing
I've been OT on my uno
I've been spending this money all on my uno




Getting money, how the fuck would you know?
I've been OT on my uno
