  • Tell the barber stop fuckin' with my hairline
    Got mine fitted to the side when I wear mine
    Why these boys keep reachin' for my plate knowin' I don't wanna share mine?
    Why these boys keep lyin' when they swear blind?
    Why they talking like I never made bare grime?
    Talk tools like I never had a spare 9
    Why they reachin' for my pockets like it's their grind?
    They better recline
    Don't don't need a co-sign from the mayor 'cause I got a pretty penny, I ain't beggin' in my spare time
    Why these bitches wanna hit me with the bare whine?
    Tell me hit it bareback, these bitches ain't even worth the airtime
    Why these singers always gotta use Melodyne?
    Why these rappers on their phone on the radio, they ain't got prepared lines?
    Why you gotta keep gassin' up their dead rhymes?
    Why I gotta be a hater when I tell the truth?
    Why I gotta like your shitty 'Fire In The Booth'?
    If you're really spittin' fire where's the bloody proof?
    I ain't hatin' on the youth, if you ain't got the juice
    What's the bloody use?
    'Cause I'm used to the true spitters on the roof
    East side of the river that's the bloody roots
    Had to put in work like a pair of muddy boots
    Too big for my boots that's the truth
    No excuse for you new recruits
    Bunch of dilutes, and a few flukes
    I've been out of the loop
    Gotta pepper MCs with a few nukes
    Bunch of fashion MCs think they're too cute
    Bunch of rubbish MCs stick 'em in a chute
    Chuck 'em out of a helicopter with no parachute
    I had to jump through hoops
    I'm a true brute
    It ain't up for dispute

    How bad do you want it?
    Do you really, really want it?
    How bad do you want it?
    Do you really, really want it?
    How bad do you want it?
    Do you really, really want it?
    Do you really, really want it?
    If you want it then I'm on it

    Why these bredders beggin' a re-union?
    Why's the Godfather
    Why you actin' like you never knew and he's movin' new again?
    There ain't ever gonna be another crew again
    So tell Willy that I don't need a pen pal
    Stop writin' me these letters 'cause I don't know what to do with them
    It ain't ever gonna be '03 or '02 they don't do it how I did it
    Somebody tell me what I've gotta prove again
    I was runnin' 'round the manor like a hooligan
    I was linkin' up with Gavin he was slewin' them
    Would have been a mad ting if he blew all these little grime kids ain't got a clue
    I ain't even got a problem with the newer gen
    But all these rappers that you're begging I will ruin them
    And tell Mega he can make all the noise that he wants but I'll put him on his arse in a swamp with a few of them
    They're still talkin' 'bout my old wars
    Folklore still talkin' 'bout my old bars
    Got my thinkin' that it's all I'm really known for
    I ain't runnin' from no-one I fought my own wars
    C1 NORTHSTAR, thats a war Lord
    If they only knew the way, flip the scoreboard
    And tell Wes that he's pukka and a mukka, he's still a mad man, and a nutter and the heat I just can't afford
    'Cause I'm on tour, they want an encore
    Yeah sure that's what I'm on for
    Tell the promoters that they gotta put me on more
    I'm like an elevator stoppin' at the wrong floor
    I ain't got no regrets, if I did have a set
    It would be that I never flew Concorde
    Now my flow is complete 'cah I don't want no raasclaat beat

    How bad do you want it?
    Do you really, really want it?
    How bad do you want it?
    Do you really, really want it?
    How bad do you want it?
    Do you really, really want it?
    Do you really, really want it?
    If you want it then I'm on it Writer/s: Dylan Mills
