Lyrics

[Part I: 71] [Intro] Look [Chorus] Why them man talking 'bout trap and work they never have done? My side don't know about pressure, and my brothers they never could run Man talk about shottys and .40s, but them boys ain't ever seen guns I'm tryna retire at fourty, I ain't working till seventy-one I ain't working till seventy-one, I ain't working till seventy-one I'm tryna retire at fourty, I ain't working till seventy-one I ain't working till seventy-one, I ain't working till seventy-one I'm tryna retire at fourty, I ain't working till seventy-one [Verse 1] Sixteen, I saw my first grand And then I went Prada and I lost it It's like I cremated Moses 'Cause man was just burnin' profit Then I spend one-five in a heartbeat I didn't know about taking losses That's 'cause I had lines with squares And O's in the middle like noughts and crosses No that's 'cause I had three young G's With their hand on their heart and their mind on cake The guy to my side had a wap on his thigh So I had 40 to my right like Drake Them man there still banging for pride Done with that, man's tryna get paid That's for my G, had cats on my line Like Harvey Dent, I can't feel my face like [Chorus] Why them man talking 'bout trap and work they never have done? My side don't know about pressure, and my brothers they never could run Man talk about shottys and .40s, but them boys ain't ever seen guns I'm tryna retire at fourty, I ain't working till seventy-one I ain't working till seventy-one, I ain't working till seventy-one I'm tryna retire at fourty, I ain't working till seventy-one I ain't working till seventy-one, I ain't working till seventy-one I'm tryna retire at fourty, I ain't working till seventy-one [Verse 2] Dash, duck, dive, run, hide, snitch Man try bump me for a bag, but I got around South like London Bridge I was sixteen with a mic and a dream Two years later, I'm taking the piss Man still hate on me and my team 'Cause I got more ice for my age than Sid But wait, look, my man said that he's psycho, my man said that they're grinding It's funny how them man are psychos, but their P's are silent Don't talk to me about moves, like a day off them man are just lying Send a young runner out in the field Put pressure on a youte like a brand new signin' [Chorus] Why them man talking 'bout trap and work they never have done? My side don't know about pressure, and my brothers they never could run Man talk about shotties and .40s, but them boys ain't ever seen guns I'm tryna retire at fourty, I ain't working till seventy-one I ain't working till seventy-one, I ain't working till seventy-one I'm tryna retire at fourty, I ain't working till seventy-one I ain't working till seventy-one, I ain't working till seventy-one I'm tryna retire at fourty, I ain't working till seventy-one [Part II: End Credits] [Intro] Take four Still September the twelfth Oh, it's actually not 'cause I just clocked We're studio, 1 a.m., so September the thirteenth Yeah Just for this sick adlib that I put down, I gotta get this in one take, so Look [Verse] Look It's looking like we've come to an end And I don't even know what to say, but I can tell when a person has faith in me It means way more to me than a favour It's for Tyrell, Jack, Benny, Nana, Fraser Jamz, Semtex, Manny And everyone who put me on their radar Just know that you did it well And that my older brother's smilin' in his prison cell And even when he can't call me to say hello Know that he can hear me talking on the radio By God's grace, soon see me on a screen I never knew drive until I found me a dream I never knew work until I found me a team I swear I've had a headache for my whole damn life Fam, I never knew stress until I found me some peace I came here with a zipped mouth and open ears Love to Austin, Manon, Maurice Love to every single person who believed Love to all my supporters till the end No fans, you're my friends There won't ever be a divide between you and I I love you all to the end I love you all to the end With the bottom of my heart, I love you all to the end I love you all to the end And my mum, I love you so, so much You got so much heart Single mum with four houses and three grown sons Mum you're so, so smart And you love me, 'cause you let me drop uni Even though it broke your heart And mum you know it broke my heart 'Cause I know you want the best for us Protectin' what's left of us And I just need to say this My friends, you're amazing You wouldn't even know But there's times that I swear that I didn't think I'd make it Walked into depression with a blindfold And came out of the belly of the beast I've got friends that will push me in life and protect me in the streets I thank God for the company I keep [Outro: Dave & Juliet Doris Omoregie] In the studio You're not gonna sit there all day Nah, I'm coming back after this take You're what? Coming back after this take After what? After this take What does that mean? I should just adlib you right now, mummy Huh? Hehehe, forget it, adlib is like when you You're probably thinking, "What does that mean?" Adlib's when you use someone's voice But I'm recordin' the final part of it And you're on loudspeaker because I'm doing the final take Okay, so what time will you finish? Soon How you gonna get home? Jack's picking me up Eh? Jack's picking me up Alright, see you in a bit Bye mummy
