Rule of Two

Lyrics

[Intro] (Kyle) [Verse 1: Dave] Streatham Common, running from the one time I can't be late when it's crunch time Man talk about my life, but I love mine It's better a punchline than a cunch line You see, tryna find a shot, that's a tough grind You spot one by spot one on the front line When the race gets tekky, I've got to run mine That's the story on road and my love life You've got the young G's pressuring the older kids You ever felt like somebody's gotta go for this? Feds follow me and my associates I gotta take a hard left, we're the Soviets I never waited for a bring in or the lottery I wanted to make moves, but it's fucked Cah the worker in me always seems to argue with the boss in me Nobody made change, stickin' to the policy Nobody's speaking for the youth, and it bothers me They said I'd either do crime or be a rapper I managed to do both, so I'm a self-fulfilling prophecy I'd told bae, "You're Penelope of my Odyssey" Rolex Daytona with the white face Man trappin', get a duty solicitor Then wonder how they end up getting birded for a light case There's a lot of niggas fittin' in a tight space It's Jimmy Conway, not Jimmy Fallon I seen man peak young like Lily Allen We had to do it, then act like it didn't happen Nowadays, it's pics or it didn't happen South London's the home of the trigger action Long shanks, I'm a brave heart I think, therefore I am, it's like Descartes In war, something's gotta burn, it's like napalm Youngs Tef' gave me the call of duty But I couldn't picture times like this When I would rock a fake Jacob and save up for Forreduci People wanna use me, don't wanna lose me Different place Girls say I'm a different person any given day How you talkin' on my name with that little wage? They threw shade on my borough before the Insta' page It's got me fightin' myself Half my guys in the cell, they denied any bail It was time for a ride, and I was ridin' as well I'm Lord Petyr Baelish, I've got knights in the Vale [Verse 2: Youngs Teflon] I'm outside where it's deadly, and I ain't singing medleys Top-floor views, tryna figure where my head be Supreme box logo And I ain't at the marches, but this ain't my first rodeo Was better than your favourite rappers now When I used to spend my profit on Polo Before the 'rona came, it was high-key on the low-low Box cutters for the packages that's comin' through the door Send a memo to the tugs, "Is you coming to the war?" Cah the weapon we select never left the shelf The feds can't protect us, so we protect ourselves Why I'm rapping 'bout pain they ain't never felt It's trapping early in the morning with Vanessa Feltz My brothers do lunch in Amiri denim While I'm waking up from dreams seeing fairies in 'em You said I ain't top five, had a big laugh And rappin' weren't the only way, I had six paths Having visions of the future, seeing cocked machines And now we in the future, we got nuff machines When I was making classics, they was watchin' Beans Had the Submarine, now I ain't ever seen a submarine Used to dream of big houses with a swimming pool MJ and Scarface posters in the living room But we got to teach the kids about the principles Hoodie, gloves and mask like Victor Doom Love the handle on the spinners 'cause it grip rubber But never touched another man because of skin colour How we treat these women bad, and they still love us? Gotta do better, so they can heal for us And every other day, she tells me I'm so talented But my life's upside, I gotta balance it Getting money now, I hardly check my balances And shoutout to my manager because he managing Late night, say a prayer while the candle lit But this Balenciaga Paris made me arrogant She came round wrapped up like she Arabic Might seduce her to some Usher, can you handle it? My juvy still a teen, wanna cop a range We ain't never own a thing, I said it's not the way Local opps tryna drill me from a block away Saw it before it happened, felt like Doctor Strange And right now, I'm holding business with Santan And I ain't talking 'bout loans or a bank scam I'll gobble up a contract like I'm Pac-Man Somethin' like track and field, how the cash ran [Verse 3: Youngs Teflon & Dave] Used to break down squares, playin' Xbox My last verse probably paid for my next watch Cah the rap game remind me of the crack game I walk into a cypher like it's a pet shop My niggas in a sin bin, he got sent off And went off for the team, that's the end of Rain, hail, sleet for a ten shot Einstein, we were working for a dead prof' I got both 'cause I'm indecisive But I been around teef like gingivitis They gon' 'member trilly, like they did the titans Running through the bramble like that nigga Titus And we ain't washed up, but we clean good Before sticks, we kept the mace like Greenwood I know the man are asking, but the team's good My niggas ballers off the drugs, they didn't need snus And we good, you know the guns and the butter But I ain't want much, I give the funds to my mother True to the oath, I'ma bring it to my grave We in a different grade, this is Jimmy and Dave
