T N Biscuits
slowthai Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Drug dealer
I wear Nike, not Fila
Lean like Tower Pisa, I smile like Mona Lisa
I've had enough of 36 shots, 72 had to double up
Mainstream tunes, couldn't make one
That was mathematics for the class clown dunce
ABC's I wanted Q's
Get a B, make 2
Crime Watch, mandem face on news
Directs spamming, pay me dues
Greed for money, gas like juice
Take it lightly, it's just food
Certain man haffi kill off the mood
Come like Christmas, why be Scrooge?

On a serious note, I joke
I ain't a serious bloke, I smoke
Jump on a beat like a frog off a boat
Take a leap, just float
Take a leaf out my book, I know
Tried to believe them, lost all hope
I just wanna chill, go home
Jump on my push bike and I zone
Ring, ring, ring, answer my phone
Getting sick of my own ringtone
Pedal on shit so long
People need to go, grow a back bone
I'm bad to the bone, yeah biddididi
And I mash up the flow, getting silly widdit
Yeah, timid even know I put my spirit in it
Real in the zone like

It's T
None of me sounds like them, chief
I put the T in 10, deep
More melodies than doe
Dun' know what you dun' know, it's T
I put the T in trend, me
About to run something, scene
About to don this ting, 'ow ya mean?
Come through the fog I'm king on a road
Digging for gold
Run from the boy them hood on the low
Switch off my phone, ain't going home
Locked in a box, stuck in a zone
Zone out again, sit and reflect
Dodging the pen like a dog in a yard
So I ain't going yard, walk in the dark
Walk in the park I ain't playing no Giggs

Bunning a blem, chill doing trips
10 outta 10, tell them again
Blind to the sky, live on a high
Feed the supply to all the mandem
Slowthai lagging, body bagging a witch
Steady slanging that talisman shit, ay
I'm a G, yes
Draw for the knife and the CS
Bally on tight, F the BS, PS
Come around here, leave teeth-less
Jesus couldn't save this yout'
Don't pray to him he ain't saving you
Hate me, you must hate the truth
Box your chin and make you change your tune
If it's gonna get physical
Slyly I'm gonna bring in a tool
Try me you could get slumped in two
One bang, two bang, smoking a zoot
If it's gonna get physical
Slyly I'm gonna bring in a tool
Try me you could get slumped in two
One bang, two bang, smoking a zoot

Rrrrah
And the farmers are coming




Pitchforks sharp and they runnin', runnin'
Mhahahahah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics from slowthai's song "T N Biscuits" highlight the themes of drug dealing, street life, and the grim realities that come with living on the margins of society. In the first few lines, slowthai describes himself as a drug dealer who wears Nike, not Fila, and leans like the Tower Pisa. He also talks about how he's had to double up on shots (presumably from a gun) to protect himself. Slowthai is also critical of mainstream music, indicating that it is too formulaic for him.


In the second verse, slowthai offers a glimpse into his more reflective and introspective side, where he talks about wanting to go home and just chill on his push bike. He also touches on themes of isolation, saying that he's "locked in a box, stuck in a zone" and "zone[s] out again, sit[s] and reflect[s]." Slowthai also portrays himself as a streetwise kid who has had to learn to survive by dodging trouble, saying that he's "digging for gold" and "dodging the pen like a dog in a yard."

It reflects the experiences of many young people who find themselves living in tough conditions, struggling to get by, and turning to risky behaviors like drug dealing to make a living.
