Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This tune reminds me of the pirate sets
Dev's inside, what's good? Mic check
Big up the listenin' crew locked in
Technical problem sorted, it's bless
Let's swing like fighters in rings
All live in this thing, I thrive on the test
Came up in a fight with the best
Ain't luck that I spit more live than the rest
Sun Tzu, puttin' art in war
So bounce like fellas on a party door
Don't grab the mic, you ain't spittin' no more
And get jogged on if your spittin' that poor
Back to back, we went bar for bar
The flow must be cold when the titans spar
I ain't known on road 'cause I'm firin' arms
Pirate, but there's no hook, just bars
[Verse 2]
(Check, check)
Learnt my craft in the battleground
Under the blackest cloud
Where there were no backin' down
And reigned with a ragged sound
You think that it's havoc now? You ain't seen it
Trash pilin' up, sewers bust
Management after subs, oh, fuck
Best dive or duck
I ain't got a ticket for the train, I'll jump
Barriers, to be close to the game I got married
Went through my apprenticeship and then bust
Till then I ain't bringin' this mic too close my lips
It's covered in rust
From a primitive setup
Went worldwide when he started the web up
But now you drop one tune, and might be a star
Who's next comin' up?
[Verse 3]
What? What? Original spitter
This one's for the old school listener
07956221556, gimme a sign if it's crystal
Rude boys in the lift shaft, settin' up the transmitter
Got two decks and a mixer
A bag full of dubs, some fucked-up bars, a mic, a ten-bag, and Rizla
And there's weed in the lungs
I've done radio sets with the realest ones
Stations set in the vacant drums
High rises and the deepest slums
So gimme ten missed calls if you feel this one
Twenty missed calls, and I'll wheel this one
I rep where I'm from every time I go on
Shout out to my crew locked on
[Verse 4]
Wheel up, nah, I don't need it, keep it
Let 'em take me in, like air that they're breathin'
The heater's broke, and there ain't no central heating
It's freezin', I see my breath
It just adds to the vibe, I guess
Then I get more drive, more meaning
I was raised to be first, not last
When I'm takin' part, then it might get heated
To a degree that I see fit
Get back on my Rinse 1003 shit
One more time so the scene flips
An old school fire has been lit
Like someone just got me
Pass me it back, and I'll finish him properly
"Go hard or go yard", I heard that said then
And I weren't killin' 'em softly
