Strangers |
It was KD crew, yeah, Kane and Dean |
East Ham, Plaistow, with Maxwell Leyton dreams |
You were one of the first to make me believe in my first 16s |
But did the heights I reached jeopardise the dial and speak |
But we go back since manor and ride-on-the-play scheme |
District coach, one Walkman, one ear each |
Napier Road, Black Pitch |
One-day travel cards and Fat Chaps chips |
We toured the country, took it overseas |
Took it from the streets to The Streets |
And if someone was in your ear |
Just know my intentions was clear |
I was helping us all, we |
I made sure we was all there |
It’s kind of hard when you’re the face of it |
Was you jealous of my fame a bit? |
Funny thing is, I don’t even want these questions answered |
I just wanna have a brandy and a laugh regardless |
Instead of acting like we’re strangers, yeah |
Seven years ago was Shane’s little one’s christening |
AB was there tryna put to bed all the bickering |
He made a phone call to you in the toilets |
Said «someone wants to speak», gave me the phone to my annoyance |
I said «hello?», you must’ve heard my voice and hung up |
I just heard the phone cut out and picked my rum up |
And hit the dancefloor to some Mavado, finger gun up |
Water off a duck’s back, but truth be told, that hurt, my brother |
What dem a do? |
What dem a try? |
To make our friendship fly into the sky |
I said in «Celebrate» that I ain’t even met your kids |
A falling out has made us look a fool for this |
I can’t pinpoint where the problem started at |
Who’s to blame or who should even claim half of that |
If it’s stubborn competition, we both win |
So who would just pick up the phone? |
Could even if we grew apart, we’re still a partnership |
So why we acting like we’re strangers? |
Why we acting like we’re strangers? |
Oh boy, we ain’t strangers |
I wrote those first two verses last year, last year |
Then the other day, was raving in west end and I see you there |
I see you there, bredrin, I see you there, yeah |
And we didn’t have that brandy but we laughed |
Plus we drank some vodka and a half |
Oi, if you’re hugging mate but wearing all-black, is that still gangster? |
Gangster or not, that’s my damn darg |
And things were back to normal for one night, that’s enough |
Just to let us know there’s no grudge, it’s all love |
But we all carry scars, we’re all cut, we’re grown ups |
Teenage no more, we’re older, we’ve grown up |
But the next day got me thinking what if I was the reason? |
Or if the tables turned, whether I would be seated |
Or if your battery died that night at that christening |
And I thought you disrespected, what if it was just reception? |
So the straw that broke the camel’s back of this friendship |
Maybe it wasn’t the intention, but would symbolise the ending |
Now, what if you thought I hung up |
And for seven years, you’ve been hung up on the same shit that I was |
I guess we’ll never know, it’s pointless digging deeper holes |
Cause if we go down that road, these burnt bridges charge tolls |
So I’d rather bromanticise about these things |
And write a song about what-ifs, cause I could never write no diss |
Cause that’s my brother |
That’s my brother |
So bruv, why we acting like we’re strangers? |
Why we acting like we’re strangers? |
Fumbling, we ain’t strangers |
Red Stripe vibes, ayy |
