The intro track into the Norf Face project, AGL (abbreviation of ‘Ain’t Gotta Lie’) is as grimy and hard hitting as any other Grime tune. With playful and powerful bars, the quad let the people know what to expect on the EP.
[Intro]

[Chorus: Capo Lee]
I ain't gotta lie, man know (Man know)
I ain't gotta flex and show (And show)
Man, I got the game on hold (On hold)
Man, I put the game on hold (On hold)
Can I get a big stack and fold? (And fold)
Ain't got a swag that I owe (That I owe)
Calling like somebody owe me dough
Man have got tunes that's sold (That's sold)
I ain't gotta lie, man know (Know that)
I ain't gotta flex and show (Show that)
Man, have got the game on hold (Hold that)
Man, I put the game on hold (Hold that)
Can I get a big stack and fold? (Fold that)
Ain't got a swag that I owe (Owe back)
Calling like somebody owe me dough
Man have got tunes that's sold (Sold that)
[Verse 1: Capo Lee]
Man, I make tune and sell them
All these life stories that I tell them
Kill man, end up in a can like welding
I was on a curb, all hell-bent
Then I got a bag 'round me like mailmen
Still don't cry, no tissue or flannel, two in a barrel, Kenan Kel then
T-house, phone, and hoodie, looking like a bando bully
Can't ask why I talk these things on the mic, better know that I'm cultured fully
How could he? Betting on me for a fail, come through and I'll blast that bookie
Unruly, see man skid off the rail, crumbled like Maryland Cookies
[Verse 2: Frisco]
Something like Jookie, ready to blow and I came through covered in blue like Tookie
Them man are too lookie, me, I came up in a music house like Leon and Wookie
Holler at a man you ain't seen in time 'cause right now man will, man will drop like flies
Even though I'm not into surprise I'm still popping up like Kinder Surprise (It's me)
And I deal with it hands-on (Come on)
Kicked off, now you can't see where your man's gone
Say too much and get kicked and stamped on
Send two shots, now a piece of your back's gone (Sky)
Come around talking wicked, you'll end up covered in red like a tampon
The youth dem are savage, so come around here with your watch, (Woi woi woi woi), might leave with your hand gone
[Chorus: Capo Lee]
I ain't gotta lie, man know (Man know)
I ain't gotta flex and show (And show)
Man, I got the game on hold (On hold)
Man, I put the game on hold (On hold)
Can I get a big stack and fold? (And fold)
Ain't got a swag that I owe (That I owe)
Calling like somebody owe me dough
Man have got tunes that's sold (That's sold)
I ain't gotta lie, man know (Know that)
I ain't gotta flex and show (Show that)
Man, have got the game on hold (Hold that)
Man, I put the game on hold (Hold that)
Can I get a big stack and fold? (Fold that)
Ain't got a swag that I owe (Owe back)
Calling like somebody owe me dough
Man have got tunes that's sold (Sold that)
[Verse 3: Shorty]
Been on my own ting, no, I ain't lost it
Sixteen bar, make the whole place mosh pit
I've been stacking my P's on the low
Might go Vegas, splash all the profit
Fuck it, life's too short
Man's still hating, it's not my fault
Catch me in a white t-shirt, white crepes
Fresh to death like I'd just done fraud
I've got black girls calling me sexy, yeah, and the white girls call me a sore
I went court but I never got caught 'cause the judge had less evidence than he thought
How random, people shouting, "Gang gang", but we ain't even man dem
I can't stand them, man wanna stand on the frontline, then rude boy, I'll flank them (Bosh)
[Verse 4: Jme]
These times, I was mixing Wookie
Bedroom settings, early, rookie
Or on road, moving shooky
Trying to shop tings like, "Lookie, lookie"
Put the profit on zero, when I link Hats and Big Phil at the bookie
Stay with the team, chasing the dream, don't ask what I'm on though, jookie
At the same time, barring
Extreme FM, man was barring
Heat FM, barring
Freeze FM, barring
Axe FM, barring
Deja, barring
Rinse, barring
Y2K, yeah, man was up there still barring
Man's tried, tested, blood sweat and tears invested
I ain't gonna, I ain't gonna, I ain't gonna
[Chorus: Capo Lee]
I ain't gotta lie, man know (Man know)
I ain't gotta flex and show (And show)
Man, I got the game on hold (On hold)
Man, I put the game on hold (On hold)
Can I get a big stack and fold? (And fold)
Ain't got a swag that I owe (That I owe)
Calling like somebody owe me dough
Man have got tunes that's sold (That's sold)
I ain't gotta lie, man know (Know that)
I ain't gotta flex and show (Show that)
Man, have got the game on hold (Hold that)
Man, I put the game on hold (Hold that)
Can I get a big stack and fold? (Fold that)
Ain't got a swag that I owe (Owe back)
Calling like somebody owe me dough
Man have got tunes that's sold (Sold that)
