Never been baptised
I was in school with a slack tie
Totally confused when that guy asked me why I was black and my dads white
I came home like "mum have you got time?"
"Why am I black and my dad's white?"
She explained that my real dad was a bad guy that sold bare d** up in moss side
I just couldn't believe it
Ran up the stairs and shut the door, and I just cried
Prayed to the Lord, please let it be a bad dream and a part of me just died
My whole upbringing was a bad lie
I need answers, lemme find this guy
So I got on the phone
Forget about 118 I need more than a helpline
And then I met my dad
Black tints on a Golf GTI it was that clean
On my life, the incredible hulk couldn't have turn that green
The interior was leather and cream
First guy that I ever seen smoke weed
Charles Bronson couldn't live this good if he had a million on his canteen
Told me that he sold CD's, as his head nodded to Alicia Keys
Picture that atmosphere, my step-dad had a Mini Cooper from the 80s
And then we drove to the hood, on Princess Park where I've seen a million faces
Until we met my brothers Juscinio and Pierre my heart was racing
Second to youngest brother
That and my stereotype made me like Mike from the Jackson 5
Fell in love with the road so much, came home and I never slept that night
Went in school the next day, un-tucked my shirt and I just dashed my tie
Walked through the corridor, just to show them I was a warrior
I started a fist fight
With a guy that stabbed me with a screw driver
2 years earlier its that time
Show them that I was a ride or die
And show them that they're not about that life
Walked on to the estate, my heart's beating
And you could see fear in my eyes
Shaking, rattling like a broken bike
But see when I won that fight
Ay Darkee tell them how I won that fast
I'm not copying Bane when I say nobody knew me until I wore that mask
Walked back to Aaron and Dane's and soaked my hands in an ice cold bath
Cus I broke my knuckles
Started wearing carbon gloves cus we're the axe gang like Kung-Fu Hustle
Yo, when I was about 9 and a half
Asked my mum for a GameBoy Advanced
6 months later, woke up on my birthday to a gold fish in a fish tank
I'm not being ungrateful
I'm just tryna explain why I'm unstable
Went into school in all black like the undertaker and threw a man through a table
Pissed off I won't go into that, cah the JDZ media was the video that got em ga**ed
Half a million views later and I'm carrying Manchester on my back
I've come here to put Manny on the map
Set man tried with a bally and a strap
They wrote the gang war book and its mad
Cah my family's in the middle of that
I got bare drug money but I don't sell crack
I don't wanna get blasted like 2Pac
I'm gonna get the Kawasaki Ninja soon, and bring out the machine in a rucksack
I'm not Mohammed Ali but I've been stinging man like a bee from way back
Turns out that my Dad wasn't on point
Spent every penny that he made in the trap
Ask me if he could lend 2 grand
That's dead money that I'm never getting back
But now I'm the one with a leather interior, hes just an Aspen
Somebody get Charlie a gas mask
Cus I won't just set fire to the booth
I'll set fire to the building and it's staff
You're gonna need more than Fireman Sam
Make man back flip like Jackie Chan
And you're looking at Bugzy Malone
The grime scene mafia boss Al Capone
You might see me laughing alot
It's cus I turned 24 and I got more money than flows
Paint pictures with words and I paint them just like Pablo Pica**o
Somebody go let the grime scene know that it's not just Stormzy that can get a reload
It's not just London
I'm not talking Lord of the Mics when I say that I spent 07 in the dungeon
I was in a wing with n***as from Tuckstove
n***as from Handsworth, n***as from Brixton
Listening to a Devilman CD
Until man told me he was snitching
You will get a Wun Mai Lung Tun Wing Sen
Yo
And I dare anyone to come and climb this mountain
I come from Manchester and I'm shouting
Loud and proud so they can hear me where n***as eat Ackee Saltfish and Plantain
Don't think that I can't get a million views cus I come from council housing
I'm already on 600,000
This one goes out to the English teacher that was sat ranting and raving
Told me that I wasn't concentrating
But now they know me in Copenhagen
Real smokey a little bit like bacon
Turn into the devil and just
Yo-
If anybody in the building's hating
I turn into the devil and just waste em
Being on this level is frustrating
Cus girls wanna know my name and snapchat my face like I'm famous
But I know how to play this game
So nowadays man just smile and wave
As long as they know their place and stage
There's levels to this sh**
They're like a 38, I'm like a pump action 12 gauge
Blow out your speakers, blow out your brains
This year man's on a different wave
Five-O couldn't chase me cus I drive through the estate like it's a crystal maze
Do you know the noise what a pistol makes?
Are you on this have you licked one raise?
Gunchester is the home of the brave
And whats why man wid a-
Yo
I said hold on , hold on yo wait
It's B-Lowk's birthday and there's no way
I'm gonna let my man stand in the background
Come to the front, let me play one-
Yo!
