See one guy just running away (Where is he going?) And the feds did pull up on me, but they checked if I was okay So I said I'm fine, I'm great and I went back home to enjoy my day Mmm-mmm, the other guy can't say the same [Chorus: Skengdo] S-k-e-n-g-d-o, AM, man, we come from South I used to kick ball with all the mandem, oh, one, two, game would run out (True) Then the fields got knocked down, KMT where we gonna play out So we started hanging around, congregating, feds racing us down S-k-e-n-g-d-o, AM, man, we come from South I used to kick ball with all the mandem, oh, one, two, game would run out (True) Then the fields got knocked down, KMT where we gonna play out So we started hanging around, congregating, feds racing us down [Outro: Skengdo and AM] Cowley estate and North Myfield is where I grew up with the crashers (Crash) Stereotyping lout, we all know he can't stand my blackness I'm a young man living in Brixton I'm an IC3, all eyes on me, not once have I been in the system
