[Intro] Yo, look [Verse 1] Believe me when I say that I'm on form Red hot, never ever been lukewarm Believe me when I say that The Incredible Hulk Couldn't do this if he transformed Believe me when I say that I won't lose Believe me when I say that I'll improve Nobody wanted to believe me when I told them I would get one million views So I got 2, just to prove We're on a totally different page Them man are in a fish tank and I'm in the ocean On a totally different wave I'm like a great white shark, them man are just goldfish Tell them not to get brave Cause you're looking at grime 2015 And a few things are gonna change Let's start by banishing all the snakes Let's start by punishing all the fakes Let's start by saying this is the year of the real Only the real get saved [Hook] Only the real mandem get paid Only the real mandem get paid No matter where, no matter when Only the real mandem get paid [Verse 2] Believe me when I say it's a shutdown Believe me when I say that I've touched down Believe me when I say 0161, Manny on the map Everybody jumps round Nobody wanted to believe me when I told them
That we got the machine put down Believe me when I say there's a new king on the block From a totally different town Anyhow, I see man holding the crown They'll get ran down by the greyhound I make a jet black boy turn light brown And leave him six feet under the ground Them man are sat real comfortable right now Cause they don't know that the door's coming off I'm like Tony Montana cause I won't stop letting off Until you're in a box Until you respect me and my dogs I'll keep barking up the wrong tree I'll keep barking up the wrong tree I'll keep barking up the wrong tree [Hook] [Verse 3] Only the real mandem get paid Wasteman set about carting change Anyhow, you've been making pennies? Then you better jump back into your lane I don't care if you've got A's and B's Get out of bed, start making P's I went from Q's to OZ's I went from 9's to 18's I went from 18 to 36 From 36 to living my dreams From 36 to living my dreams From 36 to living my dreams I went from 18 to 36 From 36 to living my dreams From 36 to living my dreams From 36 to living my dreams [Hook x4]
