| Check this, before anyone gets this one misconstrued or gets the whole message
|
| wrong, man
|
| I ain’t trying to disrespect anyone with this one here, you get me?
|
| Being me I got some questions I got to get off my chest — even if it never gets
|
| answered, you know what I’m saying?
|
| It’s east London, it’s Maxsta, it’s grime, yeah and it’s real
|
| Hold tight Wiley, hold tight Dizzee Rascal, yeah this one’s called King Dizzee
|
| Hold tight Kano, yeah
|
| Baow
|
| You see, growing up, I wanted to be like Dizzee
|
| And put on for East, my part of the city
|
| I listened to his music, he painted a picture
|
| I related to the life that he lived cuh
|
| Nuttin' don’t change on the street
|
| When you’re caught up in the cycle, evading police
|
| It’s always hoodies, hats, trainers, and jeans
|
| Racial profiling faces on street
|
| But I want to know why you ducked out
|
| On Wiley and Roll Deep, what did they do?
|
| As far as we know, you pinched Lisa Maffia’s arse
|
| Got stabbed and fell out with the crew
|
| And Wiley was in hospital by your bedside
|
| As far as we all know, he’s a bless guy
|
| Cuh he devoted his life to the culture
|
| If grime was a church, he’d be standing by the altar
|
| First things first, this ain’t a tribute
|
| Secondly, I ain’t gonna diss you
|
| I just want to know why you ducked out
|
| On the mandem and the fans that miss you
|
| I know you probably don’t give two
|
| Shits, I ain’t trying to make this an issue
|
| I ain’t been through the things that you’ve been through
|
| I just wanna understand
|
| I really don’t get it
|
| And I wanna understand so I’m writing this song
|
| I understand all the pop paychecks
|
| And the crib in Miami, but where have you gone?
|
| I ain’t saying you supposed to hang out on street
|
| Doing meet and greets, I just want to know
|
| Why you’re so anti to the G-R-I-M-E
|
| When there’s more to life than Ps
|
| You made some of the best beats to this day
|
| Man remix your bars in the scene to this day
|
| Like fam, you inspired me to this day
|
| But you left your crew, what you teaching again?
|
| Everybody want to be the next Boy In Da Corner
|
| And that’s never gonna happen
|
| We could all benefit from your intelligence
|
| But you ain’t fucking with the scene and it’s evident
|
| First things first, this ain’t a tribute
|
| Secondly, I ain’t gonna diss you
|
| I just want to know why you ducked out
|
| On the mandem and the fans that miss you
|
| I know you probably don’t give two
|
| Shits, I ain’t trying to make this an issue
|
| I ain’t been through the things that you’ve been through
|
| I just wanna understand
|
| I don’t want to sound like I’m begging it
|
| But I was a real fan, can’t question it
|
| And I know I’m nuttin' but an outsider
|
| But from when Wiley was getting 'em hyper
|
| You niggas were like gods to me, first time
|
| I spoke to Will, it felt like winning to the lottery
|
| Life’s too short, you man gotta speak
|
| Life’s too short, I mean- fuck it
|
| The two kings of grime
|
| If anybody says different, the pricks are lying
|
| I’m just an east boy Treddin' On Thin Ice
|
| And Jezebels love me but I never link twice
|
| I wear my trousers ridiculously low
|
| Peng tings get wet cuh my boxers show
|
| If I never looked up to you lot, I would have been a lost yout
|
| Picking up a box of snow, so…
|
| First things first, this ain’t a tribute
|
| Secondly, I ain’t gonna diss you
|
| I just want to know why you ducked out
|
| On the mandem and the fans that miss you
|
| I know you probably don’t give two
|
| Shits, I ain’t trying to make this an issue
|
| I ain’t been through the things that you’ve been through
|
| I just wanna understand
|
| Yeah, trust me man, hold tight all my east-siders man
|
| Hold tight everyone, man, cuh we never really got shown the way,
|
| you know what I’m saying?
|
| We had to do what we had to do, you know what I’m saying
|
| Hold tight Axeman, you get me
|
| Yeah? |
| Hold tight everyone, man
|
| And you know how that goes bruv
|
| Yeah?
|
| And it’s real man
|
| I ain’t even fucking about now, I swear down
|
| Yo, word |
