| Because, y— d’you know what?
|
| That’s a good thing to say because if you say, «Grime's dead» Everyone will
|
| sorta think, «Oh, is grime dead?»
|
| Some people who’ll know it ain’t dead will say, «No, it’s not dead»
|
| Some people will go along and think, «Yeah, it is dead»
|
| And in that case, that will flush out the people
|
| Who shouldn’t even be there
|
| And then the people who should be there will remain
|
| So when I look at them «grime's dead» T-shirts
|
| Sometimes I think, «Yeah, it is dead
|
| Grime’s so dead that it’s not dead!»
|
| Yo, wide awake in the scene
|
| Me and my circle shapin' the scene

|
| These times man was walkin' on road
|
| Buildin' a scene and I didn’t even know
|
| Same ting we done on the radio
|
| Is what we do now on big stage shows
|
| We’re doin' it 'cause we done it
|
| You can’t ruin it 'cause we run it
|
| Live it while you hate, we will create
|
| You’re losin' it 'cause we bun it
|
| Kill it, we love it, innit?
|
| Blood, sweat, and years in the game
|
| Everything’s changed but man look the same
|
| You preheat the oven, I preheat the whip, fam, stay in your lane
|
| Flower in my hand
|
| You can’t stop me and my friends
|
| All that hype and all that bullshit
|
| Paranoia can make you lose it
|
| Always had this, who you foolin'?
|
| Make your movie, tell your story
|
| It’s a celebration |
| I’ve been in the scene since MRC 60s
|
| Born late 70s, not 60s
|
| I know about music from the 60s
|
| Gyaldem are black, white, Asian, and mixies
|
| I’ll be makin' beats in my 60s
|
| Head screwed on, that’s why you gotta pick me
|
| Bro, I took the risk, it was risky
|
| Won’t get offended if anybody diss me
|
| Ayy, talk is cheap and we know that
|
| Pass the gelato, fam, and let me roll that
|
| Everybody’s new hat, looking at my old hat
|
| New pics looking like old ones I took with a Kodak
|
| Throwaway, throwaway
|
| If you don’t know style then go away
|
| I came in the game for a reason
|
| I don’t last a game, I last seasons
|
| Energetic, I leave the dance paralytic
|
| If anybody’s got any talk, then direc' it
|
| If anybody’s got any talk, please projec' it
|
| Wireless, I got the vibe-us
|
| Looking for the rosé wine-us
|
| I’m the definition of grime-us
|
| They can’t divide us
|
| If you can’t breathe it, unblock your sinus
|
| Wide awake in the scene
