LYRICS:

I don’t really know what you expect from me
I’ve only ever done whats ever making sense to me
I thought that two face had put a Harvey Dent in me
But I got legs for days like a centipede

If you bought a ticket to my tour oi that’s legendary
You’ll never really know what all of that shit meant to me
Now I got my missus and she is the bestest friend to me
But I been dealing with some other issues mentally

15 years in the game, broke for 8 of it
Then I started putting notes together like paperclips
I ain’t gonna gossip in the hope you relate to it
Paid for it already in Theresa’s dictatorship
Independent artist guess I was late to it
Stuck inside the tardis
Yeh I was major sick
Call me a Doctor Who
Then they try label this
So I stopped believing in my hype - Athiest

Make another Kickstarts or
Change The Way You Kiss Me
You need another banger yo ...
I’ve already made 50
They just wanted me to copy all my polished history
I’ve only got myself to blame and all the Scottish whisky

I’m still making choices I ain’t sure of
It’s pure love
Mixed with business acumen I’ve learnt off
My manager
Smirnoff will damage ya
Cocaine embarrass ya
And buy a fuckin house before you get in a McLaren yeh !

I could list my cars
And scars
And all the bras I undid
But that don’t mean I’m living one hundred
I guess I always wondered
Hardly a dumb kid
How’d you deal with riches when it’s all said and done did
From diddly squat
Piss in a pot of the rap scene
To Top of Pops and the lot
With no tag team
Switched genres like drag queen
And now I’m living pretty
Making music for myself not a committee

So I make a couple tunes for my people
Just a couple little bangers you can reload
Plus i'm cutting down on all the Al Pacino
This is for you unsung heroes

Now I got some kids and a castle
What’s that whip Wait. I just drove past you
I may be losing my marbles
But I’m still the same arsehole
I’ll be buying you a drink at the bar soooo...

Coronavirus got us all alone at home like Kevin McCallister
Can’t go your local and can’t go to paris
Forget marriage bruv right now you can’t marry her
Cut your double bed in half and put up a barrier
Then fantasise
Maybe santize
Go shopping in Morrisons
Where is the pasta they’ve only got porridge on
the shelf
Fuck whatever Boris on
Just think about your health

It makes you wonder if this Mr Johnson ever liked us
Was treating all the COVID stuff like it was tonsillitis
I could talk for days about him
That’s a waste of breath
Big up every single person at the NHS

And the rest
And the rest
The NHS
Big up your chest !
