Chasing the Art |
| Top boy riddims, yeah, made by me |
| But I didn’t have any riddim in the tank though |
| That’s why man had to phone up G |
| I sold vinyl, now I sell MP3s |
| And along with them, yeah, I sell CDs |
| When I get a haircut, shape up’s right |
| Can’t look like a 50 inch LCD |
| I’ve got time on my hands, grime in my hand |
| But grime, me and fans, we was in a full circle |
| They look into your life, don’t matter if it’s personal |
| Could be good, could be hurtful |
| Yeah, it’s all human instinct |
| We’re just following human imprints |
| We think we started this, started that |
| When you look on the real side, we’re wrong in an instant |
| I said you ain’t gonna get anywhere with all that hate in your heart |
| Don’t wanna take too much of the grime legacy so I’m taking a part |
| «What you gonna do musically now it’s not all about making your mark?» |
| Well, I’m back where I wanna be, it’s not about money, I’m chasing the art |
| When I’m chasing, I’m chasing, I won’t stop chasing |
| No system is gonna block the creation |
| I’m a grime king of the king conversations |
| Not a grass, I don’t need compensation |
| I’d be further if I was more patient |
| Like waiting for the trains at Euston station |
| Always in a race with the time and |
| I ain’t gonna win but I’m racing |
| I run up on the stage like bang, came with a bang |
| Didn’t even wanna be a lyrical thang |
| But it’s dead where I’m standing, could’ve been stranded |
| If I never worked every day like my Nan did |
| Some dons, they don’t wanna work though |
| While I’m here sitting with a workload |
| Even though I didn’t get paid any money for my first shows |
| In music, I’ve got a name that the world knows |
| Don’t throw shots, cause I will throw shots |
| We could throw pans, or we could throw pots |
| We could throw houses, we could throw shops |
| I don’t give a damn because I’ve seen the whole lot |
| I said don’t throw shots, I will throw shots |
| We could throw keys or we could throw locks |
| We could throw stones or we could throw rocks |
| I don’t give a damn because I’ve seen the whole lot |
| I said don’t say nuttin' if you ain’t saying somethin' |
| Just cuh man are cool, don’t press my button |
| Yes, I got dons on my side who will curry man |
| Pepper man, just like mutton |
| Every now and then we’ve gotta make an exception |
| When dons storm the game like Stormzy and Section |
| Team went quiet for a while but |
| Now we are headed in the right direction |
