Lyrics

all grey tracksuit, and the t-shirt from trapstar
claims to be from brixton, but he's really from belgravia,
see him sliding down the road, you'd think that he's a hardman,
3 A*'s from private school and staff to keep the garden,
his dad's a senior something something' down at santander,
so i bet he doesn't talk like that when on the slopes at val d'iseres
smoking joints and hanging out the window of a 308 his parents got him
they were just relieved to see him graduate
and i don't think i asked to hear him freestyle, but here we are,
i'm feeling awkward while he's spitting bars,
laughing quietly when at a distance of 100 yards
and i can't believe he's real, no.
Young boy with a rolex?
or posh boy with a complex?
i try but its hopeless,
he don't notice,
he don't notice,
and he's got me feeling
mortified
watching other people realise
he's wealthy, affluent, and brought up right
talking like he's from another life
about his second home
he likes to talk about the time he got himself arrested
they put me in the van, because i went for the detective
but that's not strictly true, it was half an eighth of weed,
and he cried his fuckin eyes out till the bobbies set him free
please don't charge me officer, i've got a good degree
the only hardman that i know with a first in history from leeds
he talks about the punches that he's thrown like he's proud
but we got chased the other day, and he was nowhere to be found
young boy with a rolex?
or posh boy with a complex?
i try but it's hopeless,
he don't notice
he don't notice
and he's got me feeling
mortified
watching other people realise
he's wealthy, affluent, and brought up right
talking like he's from another life
about his second home
about a second home
about a second home
about a second home
about a second home
and it's so very british to conceal the things you have,
he's middle class, but fetishises being something else
he's doing all he can to convince you that his hot
until his job in real estate requires that he's not
and i'm so
mortified
watching other people realise
he's wealth, affluent, and brought up right
talking like he's from another life
about his second home
about a second home
about a second home
about a second home
about a second home
